Once upon a time in the land of Bloomingtonia there lived a sweet maiden whose name will remain anonymous for her protection. She lived with her handsome prince and three very sweet children. Now although her handsome prince loved her just the way that she was and would not change anything about her (well, except for a few minor quirks like not rinsing dishes and leaving clutter piles on the counter), he did think that she could use a little "edge" (don't ask me what that means-I'm just relaying a story). So for two or so years he requested that the maiden adorn her nostril with a small speck of pixie dust to give her some edge. Now the maiden was not really sure about this request and was not a fan of unnecessary medical procedures that may cause her to become faint, so she always put him off. Until one weekend while her mom and sister were visiting she conceded that she would be willing to oblige his request. But, alas, in the short visit they could not find someone to perform the procedure and so the maiden continued on in her "non-edgy" state.
Now, the maiden thought that was the end of the matter, but since the sweet maiden's younger sister had heard of the handsome prince's desire, she was determined to come through for him. So, the next time the sweet maiden visited her beautiful homeland her younger sister would not rest until she had fulfilled the handsome prince's wish. So the sweet maiden pierced her nose with a speck of pink on a Friday night in April. She did not pass out or cry. Well, her eyes did water a little, but she was told that everyone's do. She did keep her eyes closed throughout the entire process and for good reason since her two sisters who accompanied her told her that the needle was quite large. She and the handsome prince were happy with her decision, although I think they have both decided it will not be a permanent addition. That part of the story is yet to be written.

So....the big question is...does it make the maiden more edgy? Contrary to the handsome prince's opinion, the maiden did not believe it to. For example, on the way home from her homeland the maiden stopped to put some gas in her white chariot. But unfortunately for her she had left her purse and all her money back in her beautiful homeland (don't ask..the maiden was very tired and traveling alone with 3 small children--give her a break) So, anyway, she asked the attendant if she could pay for the gas with only the numbers from her credit card without the actual card and the nice lady agreed. And the reason she agreed was that she said the young maiden looked like a very nice and honest person. So I am guessing the maiden is not really that edgy after all. I guess she should have gone for the tattoo (just kidding- the maiden would never survive that!) Oh well. Who needs to be edgy anyway?
