What's the most drastic change you've ever made to your appearance?

Hmm. I suppose that depends how you define drastic. If we're talking overall appearance, I'd say dying my hair pink.
Which I did for a few months this past year. I've definitely chopped all of my hair off a couple of times. My hair has always been a pretty big part of my self image, so I guess you could say that was pretty drastic. Though it DID grown back, so maybe not.
If we're talking longevity and permanance, I'd say my tattoos. 'Cause they just don't go away, you see. Also, the one on my ankle is pretty big - and I plan to get more - so maybe that's my answer.
No really, it is. And it's not just because we've lost habeas corpus, a bedrock protective law and a cornerstone of American freedom, to the rabid, stupid dogs of neoconservative fearmongering. That merely feels like a weird horror movie, the leatherfaced guy with the chain saw hacking off the head of the sexy college girl and laughing maniacally. The pain is simply too horrific and cartoonish to even register. Yet.
No, Bush's ambling rape of the Constitution and moral law is not the true sign of social decay and devolution. There is a far worse problem lurking, lingering, sneaking up on American values like giant snakes slithering onto a plane.
The real problem is, of course, tattoos. And piercings. And also: single people who defy the institution of marriage and choose to live together in sin. And then get tattoos. Haven't you heard?
I LOVE this man.
