Sleepies and Vampires

I'm so tired...sooo, sooooo tired...it's almost time for me to go home, but I'm thinking of watching Mad Mad House when I get there, even though I'm so sleepy. I'm so fascinated by alternative people...piercing, vampirism...all that crap. Less so the hippy crap, just because that really doesn't seem that alternative to me since I'm from such a hippy-ish place, but the other stuff I'm just really intrigued by. I'm too self conscious already to pierce up my face, and I've had too many doctors and body artist people and the like warn me against some of the other piercings I've been interested in. Hands? too many nerve and tendon problems. Tongue? Bye bye tooth enamel. Neck or collarbone? Just a bad idea in general. I won't go into the belly or the boobs because that was more an aesthetic decision than a health issue, but still, no body piercings yet. Maybe one day when I'm like 65 and it'll be REALLY sexy to have a bunch of metal in my flesh...then I'll do it. The "modern primitive" guy on the show makes me feel more brave about it though, and he reminds me that I never did get the rest of the places I wanted to tattoo done. (note to mom and dad: no more tattoos in places summer clothes won't cover, I swear) Anyway, so the vampire. I've always thought vampires were so hot, and I still think if the opportunity arose I'd probably want to be one (a real one, not a cap-toothed goth-and-go shopper) so I was super stoked that they had a vampire and I wanted to see what he/she'd be like. Well, he's a loser. He looks like Butthead from Beavis and Butthead, and he sounds like an ASS and he dresses like...well like he used to have a punch card at Goth-and-Go (hot topic, for those of you not familiar with it's CatandBrett alias). Anyway, I've been off work for about ten minutes now, but to recap - piercings: still intriguing, vampires: still intriguing, but mostly totally lame.
