Fun Fact About Me
This is a
really fun fact about me. Are you ready? Hold onto your hat, because I don't think you're ready. Seriously, this is something no one will be expecting, and it will alter the way you look at the world. Ok, here goes....
I wear three toe rings at all times. And one of them has been on my toe for about half my life. I
know. Crazy, right??
Alright, I admit. This is not that fun of a fact. But whatever. The ring on my right foot is the one that has been there for roughly 15 years. It's been removed a few times, but then I got nervous it would break (I bought it at Claire's or something) if I took it off anymore, so I've left it there ever since. A
fun gross fact about that toe ring, though, is that my toe has some pretty serious indentations from it. I'm not sure if my toe would ever go back to being normal once I decide to remove that ring. The one on the same toe on my left foot has probably been there for the last 10-11 years. Same with the third one, too. That second one I mentioned (the thin band on my left foot) used to be a wide band I bought in Mexico, but it quickly degraded in quality (surprise, surprise). It was weird, it lost its silver coating and then got all scratchy and rough. I probably contracted tetanus or something from it. I found this thin band to replace it, and it was closer to what I actually wanted in the first place anyway.
Jake asked me if I ever get freaked out about the toe rings being on all the time. No, I don't. They would be simple enough to remove. I
do get freaked out about the aforementioned deformity the right one has caused to my toe, though. I have no plans to remove any of them in the near future. I still like them, and like the way they look on my feet. Thinking about my toe rings has made me wonder if they are even remotely popular anymore. They were all the rage when I was in high school. Hence the reason I started wearing them. But I'd be surprised if they were still fashionable. Do you still wear toe rings? What's the longest you've gone without removing a piece of jewelry?

I used to have a toe ring that I wore for maybe 3 years, but after taking it on and off it broke, as my toes are pretty bulbous at the ends and it had to bend a lot to get over the fat part. I then got another one, but it didn't stay put as well at the other one, and as I ran it was constantly flopping around and pinching me and it too later broke. The longest I have worn a piece of "jewelry" would have to be an anklet I made out of some trashy ribbon or something that I wore from kindergarten through 3rd grade. It was sick.
I have 2 toe rings. I've worn one since 1996 or 1997 and the other one a couple of years less than that. I don't ever take them off. That would be my record for my never-removed-jewelry.
I attempted wearing toe rings in high school but they hurt my toes. I once wore two pieces of emboriery floss as earrings for a few months. Other than that jewelry bothers me so it's off by the kiddos bedtime.
