I'm glad you're doing well! It'd been a while since I'd seen you~ Sounds like you've been having some wonderful, eye-opening experiences around town. Maybe Atlanta does that to a person? After all, I've yet to come across a city where no two blocks contain the same kind of people. Even in my complex up in Brookhaven, people are decked out in tattoos and no one thinks anything of it - in fact, it's usually all compliments! You can't live here with a closed mind, that's for sure. If you do, well, your eyes are just shut and you're not living Atlanta life to the fullest! :)
By the way, I'm sneaky and saw the picture of your hair ahead of the LJ schedule... it's awesome. I love it! :D
I love how self-aware you are--that you can recognize growth and change for what it is. Being able to recognize that growth seems to encourage more of it--maybe because you're more open to it happening?
I would imagine that you'd love living in a big(ger) city because it would give you access to more like-minded people. When I spend time in the outskirts of Portland/the suburb areas, I get that look with a question, but downtown, I look so tame people hardly notice.
Are you job hunting? Atlanta probably has a lot of places that don't require the utterly straight-laced look. I work for a preschool, and they're cool with the facial piercings/tattoo thing, and I'd think most bigger city businesses are the same way. (The hair--I'd love to see the hair, by the by.)
For me, drinking within my limit has always been fun and acceptable. It loosens me up enough to not be as self-conscious and shy as I usually am, and I've definitely had a lot of good experiences that I might not have without doing it.
Like anything, it's when people drink past their limit that it becomes a problem. I've never seen the appeal of drinking yourself into a stupor, and I avoid people and places that are into that.
