I think we all get a mental image of what others here look like. In my head you are in your 20's with a dark brown hair wavy hair cut slightly longer than a pixie cut. Slightly rock chick. Slightly boho. Slightly geeky (that's purely from the HTML conversations with Paco).
In my mental image you are kick @arse.
You talk about piercings. I have a few smallish tattoos and in my youth had multiple piercings (they've close up now). He hated all of this plus I also (use to) smoke and (being australian) I swear like a trooper. These things are 'common' (not sure if that translates over in the states, but basically it's an insult along the lines of uneducated, lower class and probably unemployed).
D12 desperately wants a second piercing. I said maybe in a few years. H told her no because "people with piercings don't get into university" ... "and people will look down on you when you're going for interviews". She's 12.
I am going to get a second piercing at the top of my right ear. I was thinking of getting the serenity prayer in italics down the middle of my back, but can't because I had a severe reaction to a black henna tattoo when I was in my 20s which triggered an allergy to all sorts of dyes.
The existing tattoos are fine. But no new ones ... urghh.
