I guess we will just have to see what happens, and if Rain gets her ears pierced or not. from what I understand it only hurts for like a second and then it is done, plus its not a very painful area to begin with. Also, wow! Emily has advance to being tolerable because of Rain, maybe there will actually start talking to each other more often. I knew about the pills, which are probably the most widely used, and the injects as well as the patches, I think I know of someone that actually uses the gel though. I always though there comes a time when one has to switch to injections, but maybe I am wrong on that. Rain's "Nu-uh" comment is just adorable too, even more because it is not really in her character. I guess I am not surprised that Maria has has a few piercings, or that she is hiding it from her parents, actually she probably delights in hiding them from her parents lol. Although her ears seem a little flat haha. Also Maria seems so happy and proud of it, almost beaming actually. Chanel seems pretty happy about it too, I wonder if she already knew though.
