 I don’t want to be anybody but myself. 
So, I shaved little lines in my head and dyed my hair purple and green (with just a hint of orange) and pierced my nose and hung a gold earring in it. AS AN EXPRESSION OF WHO I AM (who am I?) Of course, I waited until someone else did it first. I didn’t want anyone to think I’m weird. You know what I mean?
