Welcome to Gaia! ::

So, there was a forum I used to go to called RockSirens, and it was dedicated to female metal and rock bands. It closed a year and a half ago and then reopened. Place is pretty dead, now, though.

I liked the one about anarchy.

I agree, I was always disgusted with people who were for it cause it really doesn't make any sense. Anyway, and I will agree once again. Tattoos are cool and can be sexy whoever you are.

Oh I didn't mean anarchy itself. I was going for people who believed in it, my bad.

speaking of this i might be getting some bud tomorrow

well my neighbor was talking to me outside while i was hangin around with a cigarette and he was teling me hes going to get some tomorrow and he asked me to smoke with him, so i was basically screaming in my head hell yes, but outside i just said i dont mind

I'm too tired to read all of those, I read to about 60.

I have both tattoos and piercings (multiple), and I don't count myself as a mallgoth. In Finland we don't really have malls, so we just call the people who fit this description 'goths'. I have a bellyring, but in no circumstances would I wear clothes that reveal it, not even in the summer. D: And I'd freeze to death in the winter if I did that.

And you kids and your drugs. rolleyes
