I've done most of my stuff too. I have a dozen holes in my left ear, the first two were done by a jewlery store. The rest by me whenever I got boored. The first hole I did I stretched with plastic coated paper clips and weights to about a bic pen width. I pierced my cartilage but it got infected and it was the last time I tried that. I pierced the webbing btwn my pinky and index finger (still haven't seen anybody else do that!).

The scars were done with a double edged razor blade, ergo the linear quality, a scapel would work better I am sure. Then I rubbed (vigerously) india ink (tattoo ink is prob. less toxic) into the wound and left it there. I covered the wounds with gauze and tape and let them sit until the surface skimmed over. (about 24-48 hours). You wan't to be sure that you don't cut so deep the blood will wash out the ink and not so shallow the ink will not take. Basically you wan't to encapsulate the ink in the scar. This was all a long time ago. Wish I lived a little closer so I could help you in person. I've got to run, ask as many questions as you wan't, post some questions on the scarification group, some other people may have other advice. Not all of my pieces came out well, mostly due to poor ink taking.

That's a neat little ode!

well this Victorian house has been gutted and turned into 8 apartments

I would love to have been in this space in it's heyday - I imagine a marvelous physical grace rested here

now there is nothing to see but oddly shaped apartments and one long hallway

indeed, you rule.

Ani's beekeeping skills rule uber alles!

My housemate used to be really, really into Tori Amos (I have known him since 1995, so when I say he used to be into Tori Amos, I mean that he was into her for years and years - he got me into Tori Amos...ok I'd heard a few song my her which I'd enjoyed but I'd never really paid that much attention to her until I met my housemate). He used to go on about her music and how meaningful the songs were to him and what things had inspired Tori Amos to write such-and-such a song and how sexy Tori Amos was etc. However, lately his enthusiasm seems to have died down somewhat. I might tell him about this new release to see what he says. It should be interesting to see if his old enthusiasm is kindled.

ah, yes, the new tori. and she just keeps getting better. and damn, she's hot.

yeah, but it seems like I am the only one who celebrates it

happy 1.05!

I've already gotten compliments about the pro pic. from hotcurry in fact. she was supposed to come give you daps on your talent but I see she never did.

Happy New Year!!

I hope you had a good festive break.

Do you have any plans for the New Year? I mean, is there anything you want to achieve in life this year, or are there any changes you want to make?

I feel that, for me, this year is going to be a year of progress. I have been feeling a bit like I am drifting aimlessly through life for a while. Last year it kind of started to look like my life was starting to go somewhere but then things sort of seemed to take a nose dive into stuck-in-a-rut land. I am hoping that this year I will get everything back on track.

By the way, that was a really amusing journal entry!!!

Come back soon! You always make me laugh.

well he was never completely out of the picture. just things have cooled. but we're still great friends and maybe taking things slow...very slow.

I heart Allen Ginsberg - he has this offhand way of writing that is so wonderful

there is the same sort of offhand energy in your words - I like

Theta...how is it that we've never talked before?

Whats your problem with me?

*pulls off earings, takes off heels*

Do you want to take this outside or do you want to start talking to me....either way, these heels are staying off!

wow...there was something completely erotic about that....color me weird.

in your dreams...do I pick up dandelions and run them down your forearm and say, "Hey teacher, Theta pissed herself down the hallway....look at the trail"

thank you for being a friend...

*cue 4 old women*

dude you must be busy with finals no!?

argh a math final. I know how much you hate that ish. are you planning on staying up really late studying? you know seeing you in a state makes me happy that I didn't discover SG until well after I was done with school.
