^^^ Hahaha, cute. That's something I was debating. I'm not all too hyped up to pop out one of my own, so if I really wanted a kid, I'd go into foster care or adopting. No baby years. No waking up every two hours to feed a crying infant, or changing diapers or buying baby carriers, etc. Again, there's plenty of kids already on this planet who dont have a good family, or any family for that matter. Rather than bring another one into this world, take care of one that's already here. However, adoption isnt cheap, and you have to meet many requirements to be considered for fostering. You'd be under a microscope constantly. And I hear you on that, Chernobyl. People who have kids seem to get more attention, rather than people who make wiser decisions. A coworker of mine is about to pop out her 5th kid... I say yikes but she admits it wasnt supposed to happen (she was on depo). She isnt wealthy by any means and yes, does rely on foodstamps and the like. But I've seen her with her kids... she does everything she can (and stresses herself out many a time because of it) to provide for those kids. She's a good mom. Albeit, I'm taking precautions to not end up in her shoes. She's someone I admire, but I dont want to be in the same position. I'll stick to being childfree, working the hours I'm working and eventually snipping away at college credits for a certification. That'd be a lot harder if I had even one kid. No thanks.

Technically, the boy's toenails were already painted. There was just a bottle of pink nail polish nearby. Secondly, big-fucking-deal. Just because little girls want to play cops and robbers doesnt make them a boy. And I've known many a straight guy who've painted their nails and worn eyeliner. Not to mention, I believe it was the Daily Show last night snarking on Fox's insistence that a cage fighter who paints his toenails has gender issues. Riiiiiigght. People are making a big deal out of nothing. It's just mass media trying to make a big deal of something trivial, and most of the population is too stupid so they buy every little snippet. =_=

I'll be there with a coworker in tow. Be nice to her, she's a City Club virgin.

Yeah, those are two separate piercings. Gauge is either 16g or 14g.

We all had ideas of what we wanted to be when we "grew up". What did you swear up and down you'd be when you were done with school "forever"? I knew at the age of 10 I'd grow up to be an artist. I am an artist today but the idea of it being my job... my opinions have changed when I realized what graphic design mostly entailed. And rarely was it stuff you wanted to do. I know I'd lose my mind if I had to cater to some professional-looking niche when it came to graphics and web designing, so I took the "art" degree and happily left Delta. Now I'm looking at Phlebotomy as a good trade, good work and something stable. Schooling isnt much and it's a foot in the door as far as medical stuff goes. I think I could do it. So, what did you want to be when you grew up? Are you that same thing now or has life taken you down a different path? Are you content or wish something was different?

There are many perfectly good reasons to have them, there's many more reasons to not have them. Environmental reasons, cost of living, health... all are serious factors that play in to having babies. it isnt just about not getting pregnant to stay "pretty", having a kid will wear the parent/s body down. Lack of sleep, feeding them before you feed yourself (sometimes not having the time to make food for yourself and relying on fast food, or none at all). Not only that but the amount of garbage accumulated while raising a child. And while I see the perk of reusing baby clothes if you have another, it'll suck if baby #2 is a different gender than baby #1. I'm childfree because I cant afford it. That and the government has enough welfare babies to take care of, I'm pretty sure the health department is happy to give me birth control prescriptions (thank you, Planned Parenthood!) to ensure there's one less welfare baby. Dont get me wrong, I love kids. I love being a goofball around them because it entertains them as much as me, but by not having a kid of my own, I realize it's harder for kids to annoy me. I can also tactfully tell a kid how to behave, or to settle down. (Promises of piggyback rides normally do the trick ~.^ ) That and if I had my own kid, every time I went to Tae Kwon Do and was asked to teach the kids, I'd find myself sighing in exasperation versus saying "Yes sir! Okay kids, if you're good, we'll do relays later!" That and this world's fucked up enough as it is. Bringing something innocent onto this planet and ensuring you raise it well..... takes even more work. I'd rather take the time to put myself first and ensure that I maintain good relationships with people around me.

I used to think I was going to grow up and have kids some day, be that cool mom who's the other half of a couple who owns a nice house with a big yard where all the kids want to come over and play. I clung to that vision for a few years. My last relationship ended and I realized that had I gotten married and had a family with him, I'd have been trapped. I love kids, but I'd rather stick to being the fun baby-sitter or cool aunt who has time, money and energy to spoil her nieces and nephews when mommy and daddy want a day to themselves. I'd rather do that than bring an innocent, helpless body into the world. Parents can only do so much to teach their kids the right way. And I've no desire to create more waste on this planet. I'd rather take care of a child already on this planet, than make one of my own. That and I'm the last of my family... I'd have to have a boy, outside of marriage, in order to carry on my last name. Nah... my oldest sister already stake claim to having all boys.

Black tank top, black skinnies, knee-high Demonia sneakters and navy-blue sweater.

Yeah, I think I'll stick with Brokencyde and 3OH!3 thanks. At least they're entertaining. This, not so much.

Not going Saturday. I'm going Friday night.

Funny thing, the guy had to have been around my dad's age. Now, whereas we have that "prime" example of a model citizen as mentioned in my above post *coughsarcasmcough*, we've got my dad who doesnt dress like I do, though understands I am who I am and the way I dress doesnt reflect me as a person... I'm just comfortable dressing that way. HOWEVER: we've both acknowledged the very fact that we've found a gentle medium between "Family-function friendly" and "my terms" and thus far, every attempt I've made to "dress appropriately" (as my dad words it), I've done just fine. Some family members are surprised as to where I found the cute articles of clothing (sometimes they're shocked a shirt or shoes came from Hot Topic). My dad doesnt go out of his way to ridicule me for my clothes or my piercings or tattoos (hell, my middle sister has 13 and she's a bus driver!) He doesnt partake, but wont waste his time to make someone feel bad about something that they probably dont feel bad about anyway. And when it comes to his temper, my dad can be pretty intimidating when he's pissed but even he knows to watch his language! (He's a probation officer, so he deals with hellion children on a daily basis...)

That was epic. I felt prompted to post it on facebook. XD

The one problem I had was back in August of '07 when my then-boyfriend, his roommate and I all dolled ourselves up and carted ourselves to Frakenmuth. We ate pizza and promptly walked around downtown, eventually finding ourselves at the Bavarian Inn. We walked through the pool/arcade area and then rode the elevator to the second floor. I'm wearing a long black skirt, my scissor/heart striped shirt and boots. The boyfriend was wearing a suite with a spiked collar. His roommate was actually dressed rather normal but formal (nice pants, nice shirt, etc). We were just hanging out, walking around, having a few laughs and enjoying the weather. No real reason to dress up but we did it for the hell of it and werent causing problems with anybody. However, when we got to the 2nd floor balcony, the roommate found a plastic chair and sat in it, leaning back against a window. We werent going to look through the curtains to see if the room was occupied but I figured even if we did, it wouldnt have helped. Soon, a hard rapping knock was heard and the door to the room opened (it had balcony access) and the tenant promptly berated us for not being elsewhere on the balcony. "I mean, it's a huge balcony! Cant you go someplace else?!" So we moved away from the door and just hung around and chatted, but the whole time the man is glaring at us, one nasty look directed at the three of us. I went over to him to apologize: "Sir?" "You better not be talkin' to me." "Sir?" "You better not be talkin' to me!" "Sir please, we didnt know--" "Go take a fuckin' hike." "Sir, we didnt know that the room was taken--" "Go take a fuckin' HIKE!" "And we werent going to check the windows." "Get the fuck out of here." "Sir, there are children on this balcony." "I dont give a fuckin' shit. Go take a fuckin' hike!" At that point, I walked away but he made sure to let out a "Fucking FREAKS" as I walked away. I turned and said "Thank you." I went back to where the others had been standing and the man FOLLOWED, and promptly asked if we were guests in the hotel. We werent but again, we werent causing trouble for anyone. The roommate sticks up for me, yelling at the guy for disrespecting me. Then tells the guy a fake name and the guy leaves as he threatens to go to the front desk to report us. We left shortly thereafter but I made the crack to the others that I was sorry the man's wife shoved a buttplug up his ass last night. We laughed it off but I remember being thoroughly pissed off and utterly shocked at this middle-aged man's behaviour. I know full well that men and women alike can be arrested for excessive foul language in the presence of children.... I'd have smacked the guy if I was a parent.

Yet again, Republicans cutting where we need money most. The less money going towards schools ends up promoting a huge jump in drop-out rates, less people going to school and higher crime rates. I say we start blaming Republicans for crimes. Especially when it comes to juveniles. Thanks a lot, Mr Snyder!

I used to have this pair and they lasted about 3 years. However the fabric started ripping so I'm debating getting another pair once finances permit: http://howcool.com/product_info.php?&cPath=25_3857_3888&products_id=5957 I want these because of their fuzziness!! http://howcool.com/product_info.php?&cPath=25_3857_3888&products_id=5916 And something I could rock with my skinny denim because I always seem to be wearing them when I go to CC lately: http://howcool.com/product_info.php?&cPath=25_3857_3888&products_id=22221

Tyger complimented me on how intimidating I am on the dancefloor. XD Got to see her, Marc and met Stormknight. =3

^^^ I havent met you, so I wouldnt know. Other than Rockabilly poster-child (at least, I'd say so)

Someone who can deal when I have my squee moments or lets me nerd out on whatever topic caught my attention. If they can either nerd out with me, or giggle when I do, we're good.

Just finished getting ready for work.

I flirt..... when I already know the guy. ;>> Pick-up lines, most are rather lame. I did have one guy grab my hand at a bar and try to dance with me, then say that it was actually his friend that had an eye on me. I kindly declined. I tend to shoot smiling glances at guys, occasionally approach them and strike up conversation but I dont go out of my way much to flirt. o_o

"The Siren" by Aesthetic Perfection I've had this sucker on repeat and it just reminds me of raunchiness and dirty fun.

Kinda recent. I liked how it turned out.
