[quote=@The Nexerus] Non-conformosts are silly. If you want to be your own person, just do whatever feels right to you without regard for whether it's popular. It takes a massive tool to make a conscious effort to not fit in, and ultimately you're just as beholden by popular sentiment as the people you try to avoid; for you it's just inverted. [/quote] This is mostly what I do, just go along and do my own thing and not worry too much about it. But you just can't help being self-conscious of it sometimes, especially since I always have people pointing out how [i]different[/i] I am from what they're used to. So in a way I'm not really [i]trying[/i] but I'm definitely more than a little proud of who I am. [quote=@Awson] I had a big personal thing that I typed up and deleted.[/quote] ;( [quote=@Antarctic Termite] Pics? I love dyed hair. [/quote] [quote=@Awson]Prove it. [/quote] [hider=Meh] [img]http://i66.tinypic.com/20l1503.png[/img] It's kinda fading now. Originally it was dyed black and when I tried to bleach it the ends wouldn't come out so they just stayed black so I ended up with a neat blue/black combination. Also what you can't see in the pic is my padawan braid :D I've had it for 2 years and it's super long, and also both sides of my head are buzzed (not the back though) so in the end it's really just a lazy mohawk. Meh.[/hider] [quote=@Taaj] I'm guessing your family is religious? Mine used to be all about "don't conform to the pattern of this world" shit. Actually they probably still are. I put myself on the other side of a massive body of water. Now I don't deal with it as much. Anyway do your own thing, doll. [/quote] Yeah I grew up in a conservative Christian home, and I was homeschooled, but honestly I think that's what mostly contributed to my oddness because I never had to worry about social pressures or fitting in b/c all homeschoolers are kinda weird. Also my parents have always trusted me, I've been a good kid, so they basically let me do whatever I want. I mean sometimes they grump a little but hey, I'm not doing drugs or having sex with anyone soooo they mostly just shrug it off. I always say "Don't worry, it's probably just a phase." But I like to tease my dad a lot because to him the absolute worst thing I could do is get a questionable piercing or a tattoo. So that's really where this conversation comes from. "Hey dad, what if I got a tattoo?" "Don't." But yeah on the whole they are proud of me and are generally supportive so I can't really complain.
