i have several. some are better than others. my left arm is mostly self-applied ones from when i was 17 and thought it would be a great idea to build a tattoo gun and go to town (india ink makes shitty tattoos, btw). my right arm has a sort of damask/filigree design that i came up with and rather like...but it's complicated and expensive and i don't know when i'll be able to finish it. luckily i had the foresight to design it so i can do it in sections without it looking too weird. i also have the outline of a raven (which i stole from the back of The Damned's "Phantasmagoria" artwork), it was my first tattoo (i could've picked a better design, but it has sentimental value, despite looking like a weird birthmark at this point).
i have an Eye of Horus on my back, between my shoulder blades. a bit on the "goth" side, i'll admit, but overall looks okay and i just have a few touchup ideas that'll make it look a lot better. lastly, i have my "11" on my right wrist, and it's by far my favorite tattoo....YOU know what it means;)
i have a hundred ideas for tattoos i'd like to get. i just can't afford it, but i've been tempted to buy some tattoo gear and do most of it myself. it would end up cheaper that way, and i wouldn't have to worry about some jackass tattoo artist taking stupid liberties with a design of mine (and i prefer to design my own...i rarely see tattoo flash that doesn't look tacky. i really wish tat flash didn't all look like greasy Ed Hardy trash). -
i don't like giving relationship advice (mostly because i don't want to inadvertently fuck up someone else's relationship). having said that, i'll give it a go...
as cliche as it sounds, i really do think it's important to be completely honest with the other person (and yourself). giving them ANY inkling that you might get back together is a recipe for disaster and it's not fair to either of you. not only that, but it's just going to drag out the breakup and make it messier than they usually are to begin with.
i've only initiated a couple breakups, but i've realised that being completely blunt is usually the best way. sugarcoating it will drag it out. don't get me wrong: either way, there's probably going to be arguing and it's gonna suck. but if everything's out on the table, you'll feel a lot better knowing that you said what you needed to say. and try to be the one that keeps in control of the situation! you don't ever want to feel like you got suckered into staying in a shitty relationship! -
i don't know if i would change anything. i mean, there are things that i would've done differently (knowing what i know now), but at the same time, i've learned a lot from my mistakes and they've shaped who i am. and i think that people who dwell too much on the past and what they "should've/could've/would've" done end up bitter. the past is the past and you can't change what happened, you can only learn from it. i know it sounds cliche, but it's something that i totally believe in.

as long as the person tickling me understands that i'll probably pee myself, then yeah..i could use the cash!

i do in fact have a nice little playlist going right now. i don't bother with music on short rides, but for longer ones i've recently started listening to music on my Blackberry. i do have an iPod, but i need a new charge/sync cable before i can start using it, so my current playlist isn't very long (20 songs maybe.) but here's a sampling of what i listen to while riding (in no particular order):
Jane's Addiction ('Stop', 'Mountain Song'), Motorhead ('Ace Of Spades', 'In The Name Of Tragedy', 'Love You Like A Reptile'), Big Country ('In A Big Country', 'Fields of Fire', 'We're Not In Kansas'), Rush ('Malignant Narcissism', 'Tom Sawyer', 'The Main Monkey Business', 'Subdivisions'), Twisted Sister ('I Wanna Rock'), Motley Crue ('Kickstart My Heart'), Judas Priest ('Heading Out To The Highway', 'Breaking The Law'), The Who ('Baba O'Riley', 'Won't Get Fooled Again')...plus i've got Iron Maiden, Type O Negative, Daisy Chainsaw, Clutch, The Ramones, Pixies and all sorts of other stuff on there. -
it depends on the day. no, really! some days i can be completely open and honest and caring and all of that. and then other days i'm a total bitch and want nothing to do with anyone else. and then sometimes i'm just "here." so basically...fairly average, i suppose??

i'd go back in time to high school and actually go to Pink Floyd. it was the Division Bell tour, and i decided not to go cos i'd "see them another time." well, that ain't gonna happen! it's been nearly 20 years and i still really regret not going to that concert. Big Country would definitely be another one, but that's because i didn't get into them until right around the time that Stuart passed. but for bands currently touring, i'm pretty good about going to concerts that i really want to see. i must admit that i'm still really disappointed that PiL never rescheduled their Denver gig, i was REALLY looking forward to that!

tv...cos i can just watch tv on my computer anyways (sneaky!)
-
once i'm dead, i'm not really going to personally care what happens to my body. but considering how outrageously expensive funerals are on the deceased's family, i'll be cremated. and then shot out of a friggin' cannon like Hunter S. Thompson!

both. i love my kitteh and goggie! they each have their own personality that the other doesn't have. i won't pick one over the other: i loves my kitty and doggie!!!
-
the first one i can remember was Daisy Chainsaw's singer, Katie Jane Garside....can't say i've ever gotten over that one.
-
at least three times. most likely for being late (although the last one was ridiculous! two minutes late three times. srsly! wtf?)

that's really hard to answer, being a musician and all. i guess i'll break it down:
guitar: David Gilmour, Alex Lifeson, Bruce Watson, Stuart Adamson, Mike Vanportfleet.
bass: Geddy Lee, Tony Butler, Peter Steele.
drums: Keith Moon, John Bonham, Neil Peart, Mark Brzyzicki, Stephen Perkins, Terry Bozzio.
vocals: Stuart Adamson, Geddy Lee, Andrew Eldritch, Peter Steele, Robert Plant, King Diamond, David Bowie, Peter Gabriel, etc etc etc...this list could go on for years. -
none. they all seem like vapid, talentless people. with herpes. and i don't want herpes.

oral....presentations.

the "disappearing penis".

tea. i like coffee, but the tannins in it give me a horrible stomach ache (even decaf), which usually wrecks the two hours after breakfast.
for tea, i prefer Twining's Earl Grey, Tetley's (British Blend) or plain old Lipton's, in that order. i used to drink a ton of green tea, but it also contains tannins that literally cause me to get nauseous about half an hour later. which sucks, because i miss green tea (especially PG Tips.) -
that's a tough one, considering i love cooking! i'd have to say 1) Pho. it's a Vietnamese noodle soup with rare beef. i could eat it every day (and have at times!) 2) my grandmother's spaghetti sauce. it's good over any kind of pasta and easy to make. 3) chicken noodle or minestrone soup. again, i could eat either one almost every day and never get tired of them.
other than that, reading calms me down. as well as a glass of The Macallan now and again. -
that's a strange question. luck, by definition, is something that "just happens". it's coincidence, usually a positive one. so in that respect, yeah, luck happens all the time.
but if you mean in the "cosmic"/fate sort of way, then no. i don't believe it's predetermined by some invisible entity.
i think the question should actually say "do you believe in fate", which makes a little more sense. but i'd also have to say no, i don't believe in fate as some predetermined outcome to our lives. otherwise life itself would be completely pointless and we'd all cease to exist because there would be no reason for us to be here if some invisible force already knew what the outcome would be. dig? i know it's a geeky thing to say, but i quote Terminator 2: "there is no fate but what we make for ourselves."
