I don’t know if I answered this before, but let’s do it. I couldn’t tell you how many I have. I can tell you how little space I have left. Anything that gets done on my arms, has to be small filler pieces, for the most part. My back is almost completely full. My chest is pretty full. There are no tattoos on my boobs. I don’t need to get a cute butterfly, only for 20 years down the road for it to become a pterodactyl. My neck is almost completely full. I am not getting my butt tattooed. I don’t give a shit what anybody says. My right hip has a wide open space. That’s the only spot that is literally claimed by a particular artist. He just did my left hip. I have open spots on my legs for smaller pieces and my inner thighs are a blank canvas, but I’m not sure I want to get that area tattooed. I still have space on the front, between both sides. That’s all blank. My stomach is pretty full, but there is still room. But yeah, I’ve got them on my fingers and I’ve got them on my feet and I’ve had them done in some pretty painful spots. I just couldn’t tell you how many I have. but if we run into each other over the summer, you’ll kind of get an idea 😉

I have a great pair of black Docs that have embroidered roses on the outer sides of them. I also have a pretty amazing pair of black really high platform ankle boots. I haven’t worn them out of the house, though. But on the opposite end of the spectrum, I have these amazing pink moon boots for when it snows. I hate snow, but I’m thrilled to death to have them when it happens. But yeah, there you go.

Despite my love for all things pink, I happen to think that is a fantastic looking cup. Seriously, and not just because I know how you dress lol.

Some of you on here will be able to easily admit that you rarely see me out in public. That being said, I’ve decided that I’m going to make more of an effort. I’m typically pretty stylish. I don’t live in all black, even though that is stylish as fuck. But I have no idea what to wear to certain things, these days. I totally understand what to wear to Smalls. But I’m going to the Erotic Poetry and Music Festival on Saturday night to see my friend, Lushes Lamoan, perform. It’s at The Loving Touch and I have no fucking idea what I’m supposed to wear to something like this. I have plenty of clothes. I just need to know what to wear. some of you probably think that, not knowing how to dress as the reason why I don’t show up at things that you guys invite me too. I swear that’s not the case. It’s literally me. I don’t like the public, but will tolerate it to see some friends. 🩷 That being said, do you ever get like that when you’re planning an outfit? How far in advance do you plan? What’s your ritual?

OK: we need to be able to upload larger file sizes of photographs. It figures that all of my best pictures are ones that I can’t upload here lol. I was trying to upload a good picture of myself, and there was zero chance of that occurring because of the file size 🤷🏻‍♀️

I keep shredding people on Facebook for being misogynistic or racist or bigoted, you know, shitty things, yet I’m the one that keeps getting grounded for it. It’s just wild to me how I can sit there and watch somebody beat the shit out of somebody’s dog, but I call somebody a misogynist and insult the potential size of their member and I’m grounded for at least seven days. I’m just tired of being nice about shit like that. I’m tired of being kind and cool and calm when I really wanna punch them in places nobody should be punched. To be honest, I don’t think I’m losing friends on Facebook. If I am, I guess it is what it is. But I have totally eliminated my father‘s entire side of the family and half of my moms. I just can’t hang with terrible people. And I’m exactly who I am, both in real life, and on the Internet. you only get one of me and that’s it. And if anybody deleted me from Facebook, that’s OK. I probably pissed you off. I’m not all sunshine and rainbows and I think it freaks people out when they realize it.

I didn’t know what Jabber was until I had to use it for work. I use it every day. But yeah, a lot of those were definitely outdated. I couldn’t even tell you. AIM or my IQ were.

I’m battling some nausea, and thinking about this position that opened up in my company where I did a five week job share and murdered it. I mean, I rocked the shit out of it, and I never say things like that about myself. However, while I am waiting for the position to open up so that I can submit my résumé and cover letter, I still don’t believe for a second that I am a shoe-in. I sure would like to be, though.

Pretty much just chilling out watching shit on YouTube with this little babe, and hoping that I go to bed soon because damn I’m tired

If only we could bring back all of the magical Fuckery from 2004 when I joined because that’s when this board was really popping! It was such a good time. I know that some are absolutely never going to come back. But it’s nice to come in here, every so often, and see some familiar people.

Oh, yeah, I totally get that! I have severe asthma, but I am on these injections that are helping to reverse it and the allergies that trigger it. I just had my thyroid taken out, almost a month ago. I have to say that I feel Hella better now that that thing is gone. I’m kind of looking forward to seeing the changes. So far, all of the joints in my body don’t hurt anymore and the brain fog that I was dealing with is decreasing. I’m pretty excited about that. I feel less anxious, too. It’s insane the shit that your thyroid controls! But I am hoping to get out a little bit, this summer. I would much rather do outdoor things, but I will definitely make it to smalls or some thing at some point.

Hey gang. I know I’m not on here a lot, but I figured I’d check in and see how everybody’s doing. Now that the weather is getting warmer, we will probably come out once in a while. Stay tuned for that one. Anyway, hi!

I survived my first two marriages. That was a lot.

It must be rough, getting old, grandpa 👴

Why is it that my coffee order is always the same, yet different locations either do it right or don’t?

OK, this may or may not be the correct place to ask this question. If it’s not, I’m sorry. But why is the DGN Coffee House closed? That used to be a really Hoppin place.

Oh, yeah, I’m not sweating it at all. I already feel better, and I’m noticing changes. I’m not even worried about that scar! I planned on having this throat tattoo, reworked, anyway. This just made me decide to do it sooner. When it stops feeling weird, I’ll make my appointment lol. I will say hi to him for you! I don’t like to come out until the weather is warm. Since the weather starting to get warm again, we might pop out once in a while.

Here it is, today. About a week and a half after. It looks delicious lol.

Recovering from a total thyroidectomy, which was done this past Monday. I can already tell that there are improvements in the way I feel. The biggest example is that before it was removed, every single joint in my body hurt, 24/7. Now, I’m feeling hardly any joint pain at all. There are a whole bunch of other things that come along with having a shitty thyroid and I am looking forward to seeing the changes.

Oh, I totally understood! I just think it’s funny how many people think that I am almost 100% covered. There are some spots that I’ve never considered getting tattooed because I was afraid that I’m really gonna feel it and I am not a fan of that idea. That being said, I started using this numbing cream called “Painless Tattoo.” The cream worked pretty damn well. But they recently came out with a spray. So you put the cream on one hour before your appointment. The spray is what you put on when you take a break. You let it sink in for like 15 minutes and I swear to Cthulhu, you can’t feel a thing. I don’t care how much that shit cost. I will continue to buy it until I have no place else to tattoo. 😂

Believe it or not, I have a lot more than most people think. Mostly along the sides of my body, one hip, my butt, and various small spaces all over the place. 😂

Getting tattooed…shocker 😂

I probably answered this on one of the other pages of this thread, but I’m seriously not interested in going to find it. Lol. I came back because this is actually a very special place to me. There were times when I didn’t think it was a special as I do. If it wasn’t for so many of you, back in 2004, being so awesome and funny and brilliant and compassionate, I would never have joined this board all the way from Baltimore, Maryland. Phee, Paper Hearts, Msterbeau, and others drew me in. While I don’t necessarily consider myself goth, or any particular subculture at all, for that matter, the people here just resonated with me. I had to join. For those that don’t know me by this screen name, I was Brenda Starrr…not that it really matters or anything like that. I met my husband here. We’ve been together for over 17 years. I hold friendships with a lot of the OGs that has been running for 20 years, now. It’s wild. When Troy passed, it snapped me into thinking about the people that I knew and met, right here. He built this place and created these relationships, good, bad, or indifferent. There was a whole lot of nostalgia. And honestly, it has been so great to pop in here from time to time and feel welcome. Would I like to see it the way it was in the old days? Fuck yeah. and I hope it’ll happen. It will take time. But it’s still nice to be back. 🩷

I get punished by Facebook, regularly. I’m shocked I still have an account. I’m pretty sure that it’s my father, reincarnated to be a Facebook bot. because it reminds me of when I was a kid and I was grounded all the fucking time. I’m in a time out again. I mean, sure, I said “I’ll kill somebody.” But I didn’t mean that I was actually going to kill somebody. It was just a figure of speech to describe my exasperation about a situation. Apparently, I’m inciting violence. But it’s OK for people to show animal abuse, beheadings, all sorts of other crazy shit. It’s wild to me how acceptable that is.

Is very wise and is now advised that I 100% agree with this.
