figure my personality is colorful enough to define me
That's where I've gotten to. I can't afford to have a "look".
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

“Not dead yet!”
I think my only real "statement" in high school was having very short hair, like pixie short, in an era of big perms.
Mine was the opposite-- long, straight, waist-length hair in that same era of the big perm.

I am actually a Lazy!Goth.
If this is a real term I am totally co-opting it for my own purposes.

I was fairly Goth starting in Grade 8 (started Punk, slid to Goth on discovery), and went more into funky/hippie/eclectic as time progressed. I still self-identify as Goth, though of the BohoCrunchyLazy variety.

Awwww! It is a real term, and one I apply to, oh, two-thirds of the Seattle scene, actually.
Look at all you people, talking about my book! Eeeee! I'm very glad you all seem to like it.

The problem with being a Lazy!Goth in NYC, unfortunately, is that everyone else is also wearing all black all the time too.
Hence, I need to redye my hair.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

move out and draw fire
I feel like I'm in drag if I wear straight-up girly clothes.
hah! I wore a dress today and freaked the crap out of Mal. Suits with skirts are one thing, but apparently Raq Don't Dress.
I keep promising myself that when I start a job where I am the Boss, or one where I do a lot of public speaking or conferences or whatever, I'm going to be more goth. But that would involve totally different hair, and waking up more than 30 minutes before I have to be someplace.
I still want a tattoo. A GCS curlybat tat.

One of my readers got one a year ago, and sent me a picture! I was absolutely tickled.
