350 female graduates at my Uni (job) last week. Five with short hair. None with dreads or extensions. None with shaved heads. None with funky hair color. None with visible tattoos and multiple piercings.
And only a handful (meaning you could probably count on two hands) of minorities.
I swear, I'm at STEPFORD University. I'm going to have nightmares.
GODS I miss Smith College.

Work has been HELL. Everyone is tired, faculty, staff, students. It was the hardest semester we've had, and now everybody has to jump right into the special condensed term and meet everyday for classes to make up for the Katrina interruption.
And I was slow, and the whole office mapped out their vacation time, which means it will be MONTHS before I can take time...

Some guy thought I was a prostitute, and kept asking how much I would charge to just get naked.
At the Convergence Goth Fest, I was volunteering one night checking shuttle passes, so okay, I was dressed in a short skirt and fishnets and platform boots and a bustier so my chest was practically in a different time-zone, and leaning against the hotel
But still....

Our poor baby locked herself in the bathroom while we were gone, and (not related) I haven't looked at my tattoo in 2 days, and New Orleans was swarmed with a murder (a flock? a pack? a herd? a swarm?) of Goths.

so, do you think hippie boys in skirts and goth boys in skirts would have mutual respect for one another? i mean, really, they should. (i heart hippie boys in skirts.)

i totally obsess about scratching my tattoos. what an icky feeling!
Another loose dress today because of the healing tattoo.
Another soccer mom outfit. But with piercings. AND no kids. AND no mini-van.
Hmmm. So maybe not the BEST analogy.
My God! I hope I don't look like a *gasp* Republican!

Ha! Noooo Republi-tard's allowed.. I have had a run in with them myself this week.. made me throw up -just a little... Love the new tattoo!! 
Know what's funny? Because of my fresh tattoo, I had to wear a DRESS today, something loose that wouldn't rub against it. I look positively SEDATE and lady-like, like a *gasp* young soccar mom, albeit with piercings.
Scary.
