I don't have any tattoos.

[ThomCat]

The only piercings I've ever had were one in each ear, and those closed up 15 years ago.

I don't wear clothes that show off anything I've got. (Though, I have been complemented when those clothes come off, thank you very much.) :P

I've never been goth, preppy, punk, or had any other kind of identifiable cool style.

Are you ashamed to talk to me publicly? Come on. You can be honest with me. :)

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

1. Dude, we can't be friends anymore.

All of my friends fit into a cliche definition of coolness. If they don't fit, then they're out! I mean, I only got the piercings and tattoos to be cool and "diffferent." 9)

Just kidding, I hang out with the most random people imaginable.

[ThomCat]

7. I definitely count as random.

You certainly don't end up with this life deliberately. :P

I should be asleep right now but I can't. Isn't that exciting? I'm going to be the walking dead at work again tomorrow.

[swag]

2. Nor do I.

Nice for those that like the tattoos and have them, though.

I'm ugly enough without the tattoos.

[ThomCat]

5. Ugly?

What mirror are you using? You look fine to me! :9

[swag]

6. Next drink's on me.

I'll do more than count the money next time.

[ThomCat]

28. I'll happily hold you to that.

:)

[GirlinContempt]

8. Ugly?

Scuse, pedro?

Edited to add:
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

[Floogeldy]

3. I wouldn't be ashamed to talk to you in public.

Because I don't mind if you are a freak. It has no impact on my life. Pierce your butt cheeks, your nose, your skull, your dick . . . I don't care.

But, sure, I'll talk to ya.

:smoke:

[ThomCat]

10. I'm almost the anti-freak.

I'm so normal it's scary.

Well, except for being Bi, Vegan, Disabled, a civil rights geek, not watching tv, and being pop-culture illiterate.

But other than that, I'm far, far to normal. :shrug:

[swimboy]

46. Oh, ThomCat--

I am really looking forward to the day I get to meet you.

[ThomCat]

52. Me too.

I may be planning a trip sometime soon in Fairfax, VA. Maybe in October.

How far is that from where you and LostinVA are? :)

[swimboy]

62. Not too far from me.

I'll PM a little more info. :hi:

[kmla]

50. You don't watch TV?

Freak.

:evilgrin:

[ThomCat]

53. My officemates talk about tv a lot

and it's a running joke that I won't understand any of the references. :)

[LeftyMom]

4. Hey, me too

:hug:

[ThomCat]

11. Now I would have guessed that you would have

one tasteful tattoo somewhere.

Though it doesn't surprise me that you don't. I love tattoos, but there are a lot of good reasons not to get one.
:hug:

[LeftyMom]

16. I might get one at some point (and it would be small, monochromatic and

easily hidden- I want it for me and not as a display thing) I can't see myself going nuts with it.

I really don't have any desire to get anything peirced though and dressing according to some cliquish definition of who I am is for teenagers.

Anyhow, it's fun being a stealth freak. :evilgrin:

[ThomCat]

59. I love getting Henna tattooes occassionally.

I get to be do something artistic with my skin, and in two-three weeks it's gone.

I haven't treated myself to a henna tattoo in a while. I think I may have to go down to Christopher Street sometime soon.
:)

[ghostsofgiants]

9. I don't either...

Yet.

[ThomCat]

12. What do you think you'll eventually do?

That's always the big question. What do you think you'll find meaningful for the rest of your life.

[ghostsofgiants]

14. Already have it planned, hopefully getting it done next month or September

A half-assed mock-up of the tattoos:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

15. That's cool. I wish I knew about engines.

[ghostsofgiants]

17. Engines?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

19. Gah. It auto-filled in the subject line and I didn't notice.

I just meant to type "that's cool."

[ghostsofgiants]

21. Hahaha...

I was so confused.

[ThomCat]

22. LOL!

That damned new-fangled technology!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

26. Once it auto-filled in something about a threesome.

I caught that in time not to have it as a subject line, but I had to add it to the post, because I thought it was so funny. I don't remember what post it was from, but I'm sure it was from a locked thread.

[liontamer]

13. but you're bi and vegan

you're one of those kids

[ThomCat]

20. Yes, but nobody can see that stuff

most of the time. :)

[Robeson]

18. Damn. I've got my hair in a pony-tail, and have a pierced ear. Thom...

...can we still be friends? You're not discriminating against us freaks, are you?...;-)

[ThomCat]

24. Get a haircut, Hippy!

:P

[u4ic]

23. Tombstone this man!!!

:7

[ThomCat]

25. Please, no!

I know I look almost like a.... (gasp) republican. I'll try to look less concervative. Really I will. I promise!
:7

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

27. Republicans can be hidden.

My Freeper friend is tattooed (okay, it's a Reagan tattoo), but she also dresses super hot, smokes weed and it down with going to lesbian clubs with me. She also works for the conservation department of the Bronx Zoo. Honestly, even though she's definitely a conservative in most of her beliefs, I don't get why she's a freeper.

[Robeson]

31. A "Reagan tattoo"?!!.....

...:puke:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

34. Yeah, across her lower back.

Ronald Wilson Reagan
1911-2004

It's a really well-done tattoo. It'd be awesome, if it was somebody other than Reagan. It was in a magazine somewhere. She got chased down by photographers in Central Park while jogging.

[Robeson]

36. That's one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard of someone...

...doing to themselves. Yuck!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

38. If you ignore that, she's actually super hot.

I just get very confused by the Freeper thing. She's conservative on most issues, but she believes in gay rights and works to protect the environment. It's like an enigma.

[swimboy]

43. That's cool. I wish I knew about enigmas.

;) Actually, that really throws me when I get to know someone who really seems to have their eyes open but remains allied to the party currently in charge.

[u4ic]

32. Reagan tattoo?

Ack!!

:puke: :puke: :puke:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

35. Yeah I know. It'd be a nice tattoo, if it was in someone else's honor.

Ronald Wilson Reagan
1911-2004

Across her lower back.

[u4ic]

29. Your pleas have not gone unnoticed

you're just too darn cute to ignore...:loveya:

[ThomCat]

30. Oh thank you!

I promise to grovel until I can grow out my hair. :P

[GoddessOfGuinness]

33. I don't have any tattoos

and I've never even had my ears pierced (except when my older boy screamed as a baby). I'll occasionally wear something tht shows a hint of cleavage, but that's as risque as I get.

You sound like a kindred spirit! :toast:

[ThomCat]

37. Thank you very much!

That's a great compliment! :toast:

[BreweryYardRat]

39. Nope.

You're just fine. I lack any particular style for everyday wear.

Clubwear's a different story, though.

[NewWaveChick1981]

40. I don't have any tattoos either, ThomCat.

:hi: Not unless you count the kind you find in Crackerjacks. :P The only piercings I have are one hole in each earlobe, which I've had since I was 11. That makes it possible to wear very cool earrings! No more piercings---but I have used clip-ons elsewhere! ;)

I have worn and do wear revealing clothes when the urge strikes. ;)

The only "cool" style I ever adopted was New Wave. Man, I loved it! :) I don't really follow trends otherwise.

[LostinVA]

41. I still love you, Thommy

Just stay about six feet behind me when we're out in public... okay?

Purr-purr... I love you!

[ThomCat]

47. 6 feet and 500 miles!

:loveya:

[LostinVA]

57. Hehehehe

[LynneSin]

42. Needles and regret keep me from getting tattoos

Needles I don't like and regrets, well I've bought plenty of clothes I ended up hating after a few months. Didn't want a tattoo where I would feel the same way.

[ThomCat]

48. I long ago got over any discomfort from needles.

But regret is a amazing deterent. I definitely agree with you there.

[ScreamingMeemie]

44. Hey, I'm somebody's Mom. That's about as bad as it gets in the

realm of coolness. :hi:

[ThomCat]

49. I'm sure there are kids out there

that wish their mom was as cool as you, and one or two of them have probably said so.

You're definitely cool. :loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

63. You are way too nice, ThomCat.

:loveya:

Every once in awhile my daughter tells me that she enjoys hanging out with me. :D

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

66. It doesn't make you uncool.

Hell, when I was in HS my gf's parents were so cool, I adopted them and I'm still super-close to them. Also, now that I have a lot of older friends, I'm friends with some very cool moms and I've even dated a mom before.

Moms can be cool, just like teachers can be cool.

[ScreamingMeemie]

67. The fact that I have a 16 year old who hangs out with me and talks

to me is a plus. :)

You, darling, are supercool! If I was that cool I'd be getting my freak on in your thread.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

68. Why thank you!

Yeah, I was around 15 when I adopted new parents. Mine totally sucked at the time, so whenever things got real bad at home for me, I had a key to go in and stay at their house. My mom did eventually stop being horrible though. Her best friend coming out helped a lot...he's a priest.

[malta blue]

45. Not ashamed at all...actually, I am in your club!

Only the ears are pierced, once. They are still open, but I wear very small earrings.

No revealing clothes...no "coolness" whatsoever.

Peace!

[ThomCat]

56. I used to really like big silver hoop earings.

But I had really big hair back in the 80s so big earings were okay. :7

Ah, the things we all wore back when we were young... :rofl:

[In_The_Wind]

51. I have several tattoos but I'll still talk to you.

My style is my own and not what is in at the moment.



:hi:

[ThomCat]

54. I'm glad I don't have to compete with your style.

'cause you've definitely got it. I'll just stand close and look cool by osmosis. :P

[deucemagnet]

55. Me neither.

I have too many commitment issues for permanent skin markings. :)

[ThomCat]

58. Committment Issues?

That usually means that you're having too much fun. :P

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

64. Thank God, I don't get bored of tattoos like I do girls.

Although on the rare occaision, I find someone that doesn't end up with some sort of major damage, I try to keep them.

[Bunny]

60. I don't have any tattoos, and there will never be one, either.

I really don't like them much at all. :thumbsdown:

I am, however, considering getting a piercing of a more, shall we say, "intimate" nature. This would of course not be on public display, though, so I could still be bland old Bunny. :silly:

[LSK]

61. I once wore a baseball cap

Does that qualify me as cool?

:shrug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

65. Only if it was a cool one...

Like an "I :loveya: Ski (silhouette of a hot girl with bunny ears & skis)" trucker cap. It has replaced my "Skull & Crossbones inside a four-leaf clover) beat to hell grey cap as my favorite. I needed a replacement as I lost the previous favorite in a bush somewhere on Main St. Madison, NJ. So if anyone around here found a cap matching that description, I would like it back.
