disablities bring out so much stupidity and ignorance in other people- it's amazing. I've had an lady ask me if I could read cursive (wtf?). you need a sign on your scooter that says smething like "make a stupid remark and I'll run your foot over".

I may be a bit too nosy, but what kind of disablity do you have?

You're not being nosy, I don't mind talking about it. :)

I was born with a physical disability called arthrogryposis (or the full name: arthrogryposis multiplex congenita). The basic traits of it are tight, flexed joints and decreased muscle tone, and there are different degrees of severity of it. I've known some people who only had it in their hands or legs. Mine primarily effects my hands/arms, jaw, and legs, and I use leg braces to walk and a wheelchair or scooter for longer distances.

If you have any other questions about it, feel free!

> Maybe it's because you're exposed and people think you're an easy target. I used to get the same thing when I rode a bicycle everywhere.

You do have a point here. I think I've actually been guilty of this myself in the past. Haha.

Getting yelled at or otherwise commented on seems to be much more common for disabled people, though. It's obnoxious.

I only know one song of theirs! I'm way more excited about the other people who are playing, but a friend of mine squealed like crazy when I told him I was going because he loves Erasure too, haha. I think I'll call him if they play that song "A Little Respect" (the one song I know) because we always listened to that when we were going out on the weekends.

I'll post pictures soon!

yay nipple piercings!! ten gauge? that's intense.. i have a twelve... didnt it hurt a whole lot to stretch it?

The stretching wasn't so bad. If I were doing it myself I probably would have gone slower, kind of eased the taper through and let the nipple adjust to it gradually... it hurt a bit because my piercer went kind of quick, haha, but once the jewelry was in it was totally fine. Now it's just a little tender if I put pressure on it. :)
