    I suppose I find it a bit odd because I grew up with "moshers" who changed their hair colour, pierced everything they could and got tattoo's in their late teens. A lot of them were also immature. I was always the more mature, conservative of the group. Some of them are 23/24/25 now and are sill very childish and are still in to the hair dying stuff they did in their teens. I have had a night out here or there at birthday parties with a few of them and I can only handle them in small doses now. Far too childish for my liking! I suppose that's the association I've made with the body image stuff. But that's my problem.

    I'm the exact same!! I look at these people I grew up with and they're still floating around getting stoned drinking cheap cans and now they're on the dole. Nuff said.

    I'm away from home for a couple of weeks with work soon, and prices for flights for the OH to join me for a weekend are dropping.

    Am imagining a lovely weekend with the OH as opposed to a few weeks away without seeing him :)

    Just personal preference I guess, but I find that so trashy. My brothers girlfriend had that done before, with the shaved part dyed purple. Absolutely nasty, but then again, horses for courses.

    Same here. I went to an all-girl Catholic secondary school and the vast majority of the girls who went there (and passive-agressively bullied me for the first 2 years...) ended up pregnant by the time I graduated.
    The girls I ran with were mainly art students to kept to themselves, didn't really drink and generally spent their time talking about music and art.
    Since there was a strict dress code, from the time I was 12 until I was 17, I could only wear natural hair colours and clear nail polish, no make-up.
    I rebelled in my own way, tho- I used to cut thumb-holes in my sweaters, hide black nail polish under the over-long cuffs and I wore pentagram necklaces under my shirt. Yes, I was something of a Goth. Shaddap.

    I also met President Mary MacAleese in 2nd year with two badly stitched holes in my jumper. Soon as the tour ended, I sat down at the big dining table in Aras On Uctharon (sp?) and gleefully undid the threads so I could poke my thumbs through.

    I suppose in a way I'm catching up on all the crazy self-expression I missed out on. :)

    I actually think that girl with the Skrillex hair pulls off that look, but probably because she's already pretty.

    I've had my lobes, tragus, upper ear, lip and nose pierced. The only one I don't wear now is the lip. I actually love my nose piercing, because it's quite dainty. Huge plugs aren't nice IMO but I wouldn't knock someone for getting them.

    Tattoos can be lovely, or tacky. I have plans for a tattoo eventually but it would have to be hidden, given the profession I'll be going into.

    Maybe I'm getting a bit of that too, but I say go for it and don't be ashamed! I kinda like the guaged earlobes thing too, just not too big, smaller ones look fantastic. Just express yourself and to hell with what anyone else thinks! ;)

    I'm certainly not a hipster. Granted, I *do* tend to shun today's music for stuff from the 70's, 80s, 90s and early 2000s but that's only because of dubstep and AutoTune.
    In other news, all the lovely apartments in Swords start at €1000+ a month, don't accept Rent Allowence and don't allow pets. FFS...will I EVER get my own place?!

    EDIT: For anyone who went to see Madonna and died a little when she kept playing on the new crap:

    oh modern music is by and large utter cock, especially chart stuff,autotuned nonsense.

    by hipsters I mean wearing ironic clothes ironically, using old cameras or instagram to take pics of food, moustaches on fingers, uggggh, bunch of ass nozzles.

    Ironic clothing? Not sure what you mean by that? :/ I enjoy old cameras and vintage phtography but I never use instagram as it makes the pictures look 'fake' and 'overprocessed'. If you want to get a nice vintage picture, go buy a proper vintage camera! *is a nerd for cameras*
    As for the mustashe thing, I was actually considering getting Mario's mushtashe tattooed onto my left index finger purely for ****s and giggles. I'm not one to post up a sh'itton of duck-face photographs or pictures of my last bowel movement/lunch/period. I suppose I have *some* tendencies that could be labelled 'hipster' but trust me when I say I don't actively strive to be one.

    The one that springs to mind is that stupid t-shirt you see heaps of idiots wearing. "You laugh at me because I am different. I laugh at you because you're all the same". He says while wearing a tshirt that a million other "misunderstood" people are wearing.

    OH THE IRONING.

    FFS lads.

    Why do ye let other people's style choices bother ye? Seriously.

    I love seeing lots of differently and unusually dressed people going around.

    As for saying you think a haircut someone on thread wants to get is "trashy", now that's just plain rude. I don't care what qualifiers you slot in ahead of it.

    Well I do apologise if I've offended you, but I'm just stating my opinion. I find it trashy, personally. It doesn't bother me what other people do to themselves. I personally wouldn't do it because I find it trashy. As I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't have their tongue pierced because they find it trashy, or a lot of people not wanting to get a tattoo on their lower back, for fear of looking trashy. Other people don't care. I don't know whats so rude about having an opinion. - Shrug -

    Just looked up "Ironic clothing" and found a T-shirt that says "I had Aspergers before it was cool."

    I admit, I giggled. :D

    Although, I think some people look a bit silly in how they dress, wouldn't it be boring if we all dressed the same? And you know, I look at other people and what they wear and get ideas for my own style.

    Fashion evolves and changes and goes back to different eras. Each to their own I say. (although I wish the young girls wearing those VERY VERY short shorts, ie knicker shorts would wear tights or something underneath. It creeps me out seeing men perving on these young girls. :( )

    My room mate is playing some awful computer game in the room next door. The sound effects make it sound like a puppy is choking. For a few seconds I was worried he was choking and was readying up my Heimlich maneuver. Then I remembered he only has a cup of tea in there. I listened a bit harder and yeah, terrible computer game.

    Dragon's Dogma is the game for those of you interested.

    There's nothing rude about having an opinion. It's just when and how it's conveyed can lead to issues.

    Yep, that's it.
