Haha did the red jelly bean help?
I remember when I got my ears pierced the first time, most embarrassing....I'll leave it at that, I pierced my ears the second time with ice and a needle and my hands shook the whole time.
*Shudders* I don't know how people do this... you must have balls of steel.
And yeah, the red jelly bean helped - I had a choice between red (nice), white (meh) or black (ergh) so the decision was easy.
