Embrace your mid life crisis.

Oh, I have no plans on actually having a mid-life crisis
but I can imagine fourteen-year old me looking at a 35-year old guy with a new tongue piercing and thinking "He's desperately trying to hold on to his youth".

Why I give a fuck what people think is a whole different issue entirely.

As above no one needs to see it unless you want them too.

There are two people who I specifically care what they think.
I guess I should ask them.

Good idea.
And then totally ignore them and do what YOU want.

similar problem
I keep wanting to dye red streaks in my hair, get more piercings and a tattoo, but I suspect it's just a reaction to having a grown up job

Hey, you're on summer holidays at the moment, you can do what you like.
Schools out! Live life to the full! I have a friend who I was in class at school with for a few years, she's on her ninth tattoo and she's just had her tongue pierced. I see it as her kind of defining who she is. Alternatively, daughter's mother has covered herself in tattoos and piercings over the past three years and I definitely see that as a mid-life crisis. Mind you, her whole life's been a crisis so I don't know what's new there.

Fuck it, maybe I'll just do it when kiddo gets her ears pierced again and be done with it.

Wear earphones and pump cheery happy music into your skull while in and around the job centre.
It's the only way.

cheery music is more depressing

There's no pleasing some miserable bastards is there?

Plan for ~3 days of talking like a spazmoid
And then another week of no solid food.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 18 Jul 2011, 14:10, Reply)

Indeed, I work on the phone so it'll have to be a Friday.
I'm still unsure. I'll see what the kid and the missus think, then probably get it anyway.

My mate got his done when I did
and went back to work on the phone on monday. As I recall the line he was practicing was "Microsoft Access Support, May I help you", which is not the easiest with a swollen tongue, but he got by fine.

Tourettes didn't seem to have any probs with talking when she got hers done.

( girlinthehole, Mon 18 Jul 2011, 14:31, Reply)

Dude, that woman has problems talking at least 50% of the time I spend with her.
