I have a facebook fried - girl - who started piercing her face.. and then tattooing and more piercings and now she looks sooooooooo bad.. Then she posts stuff like "can finally be who I really am.. and soooo happy and yada yada".. So, who you really are is someone that will set off alarms in metal detectors and, like you said, look like a tackle box blew up in her face? I don't get it.. but, I guess my mom didn't exactly get all the goofy crap I did, either.. But the stuff I did wasn't permanent.. it washed off easily..
Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
