Something I've been Thinking About... I am a teenager, and not only am I a teenager, but I am nearing what might be known as my late-teens. I am sixteen now, and will be seventeen in about 6 months. That is weird. I hate that I'm getting older. But that is another issue entirely. What has me concerned lately is this: I am nearing the end of the period of time during which it is perfectly normal to do weird things. When you're a teenager, you automatically have an explanation for things like piercing your eyebrows or dying your hair purple, or wearing oversized death-metal band t-shirts and dog collars. People don't look at you and think, "What the hell would have posessed this person to do something as bizarre and abnormal as this?" People look at you and think, "Oh, she's just a weird teenager. I don't understand weird teenagers. It's okay." What I'm saying is that I suddenly feel a strange sense of urgency. I am presently overcome with a desparate need to pierce a strange body part or put lime-green and pink streaks in my hair. The way I see it, I only have one chance to be a complete and utter freak in this life, and that time is now. So I think I should take complete advantage of that, don't you?

Comments:
I quite dislike tatoos..they scare me a little, with the needles and the pain and the injecting ink under your skin. Plus I find them grossly unattractive. So those are out of the question. And hair...no. I like my hair too much to wreck it with green kool-aid or something equally ridiculous. Piercings are not really that permanent. I mean, they are, in a sense, but they grow in, or are barely visible when there is no jewellery in them, so..yes. But then there's the whole pain factor, which is the biggest deterrent. I don't know.

I think what I meant to say was that this is the one chance I really have to experiment a little bit, and try new and different things, because once I'm like 30, I have to be a mature non-pierced or pink-haired adult. And how do I know that I DON'T like these weird(ish)things if I don't try them? And when am I going to get to try them and have it be at least a little bit okay, if not now? Does that make sense? Ohhh man, it's late and I have no idea what I'm talking about. |
