Yesterday I picked up some polymer clay. You know the kind that'salways used to decorate pot pipes, "hippy" beads & meany other very colorful things... yeah I'm tired right now... Thinking is not easy.
Today I learned an important rule. When you are cutting the clay with a razor blade, make sure to check that the blade is facing down THEN cut. Do NOT grab blade off table, cut then look at blade now stuck in your hand. Not the best way to learn something. frown But you can bet I wount be doing that again. Now that I said that, I'll be cutting myself very other time, right?
Well off to bed befor I go on about something I can't quite keep my mind on... yeah. Sleep now.

I agree... tattoos are a huge turn on not only because they're just cool personal modifiers, but they're also a kind of rite of passage into a level of self acceptance. Like, you like yourself but you don't take your body too seriously. My dad is the only one that hates mine... everyone else really loves it, that knows about it (my grandparents are too fragile for that sort of thing). Luckily, my dad and I are very close.. so it's not an issue.

I almost think that people that don't have them have a kinda "virginity" about them... which, for me, tends to be a turn off. But who am I... I still only have a small one so far. smile

My purpose in life appeared in my Policy of Immigration class this quarter, but my entire life has been pointed in this direction already.. this class has finally put the fine point on what I have known all along:

-that I want to use my great fortune as an American citizen with a comfortable life to be able to help those in other countries that have less.

-that I love Latin American culture.

-that I am majoring in Political Science to be able to use it as a tool to work with the system to make change, rather than against it.

Prior to this class, I was going to apply to work at the UN's development program, or even the Peace Corp... but this road fills me with certainty and encouragement like no other. I never thought I'd feel this way.

(hahaha... you can tell I'm still in school because I outline everything)

I think your dream to open a deli is fabulous! Owning and operating a business is very hard work, and essential to our economy... so don't downplay it... What else are you into?
