Define fully tatooed.
Uh, and /tatooed/?
Advice, advice... hmm. Well, if you mean a full bodysuit then I'd
recommend you find the best artist, think of a theme or style,
coordinate with the aforementioned artist, set up a timetable for
tattoo sessions, arrange payment, etc., etc.
Best of luck.
And, to beat a dead horse, I don't care if a person mentions their tats
or their tattoos, or whether they consider themselves tatted or
tattooed, however imma draw the line at "tatooed". No.
You may be tattooed and sexy, but that TATOOED must go.
...
Please?

You really are a teacher, aren't you. If so you're forgiven
because I know if teachers don't correct spelling they are
severely frowned upon, and in that profession severely
frowned upon individuals sometimes don't survive.
Some reasons you might consider, though, to fortify your
patience if you're not a teacher:
1.) she's very busy. too busy to google it.
(If you're a teacher my lack of capitalization has you
twitching right about now, right?)
2.) she's poor and can't afford the second "t"
3.) she's chic, so chic she *deliberately* dropped the
second "t" to display her rebel tendencies, and the fact
"the man" will never break her spirit enough to force her
into using what she considers a superfluous consonant.
4.) no one pays attention to her and in her sweet, yearning
heart she hopes that little slip of decorum will earn her a
few seconds of interest
5.) etc.
So you see, chill. She's every woman and all that. She can
call herself "frumpbumpkin" if she wants to, and if she
lives in a democratic society that recognizes civil rights
she won't be dragged to the square and denounced, frooted or
scorned.
Or she could be a guy and we all know guys can't help it. :)

Where's my question mark? I demand a question mark!
Yes, I really am a teacher.
My certification is in art, however I was a rated journalist in the
U.S. Navy and started off at university as an English major. And being
a former proofreader by trade probably doesn't help.
(Izzat all spelt right?)

Oh, talk about ruthless, unforgiving, and brutal. And that's just the
kindergartners! ;o)

Not so much from the proper noun perspective, but I'm all about the
Total Respect for The Google. No twitching involved, LC. Righteous
fury!

Hmm. Poor, you say? I'm swayed by that possibility. Although, I'm not
rich, where do you suppose I can send a donation?

It was meant as a statement. Sorry, I'm not actually
married to the comma, more like living in sin, but if I
don't include it it gets jealous and makes my life a living
hell.

Call me crazy but I'd do any of those things if I could. I
took four years of art in high school and a year of private
lessons, I love to write, I'm going back to school asap and
dabbling around with an English degree to pass the time. As
for proofreader, what's not to love? The big desk, the big
red pen, nirvana.

So I've read. :) I'm currently reading "Teacher Man" by
Frank McCourt. Loved "Angela's Ashes" and "'Tis". Catch those?

Ask her. Maybe she's got a Paypal account somewhere. It's
very trendy to have your own virtual beggar's cup and wish
list these days.

Not that you asked, of course, but re those jobs...
It took me about two years taking classes in the evening to earn my
certification as an art teacher. I earned that in '99, but had the BA
in art that I earned in '92 to build on. Teaching is incredible.
Incredibly stressful at times, but also incredibly fun. The best job
anyone could have and, I believe, one of the most important jobs a
person can pursue.
Right out of high school, I worked in a factory and then enlisted in
the U.S. Navy. My ASVAB was an 88 (I blew an entire math section as I
misread the directions. Duuuh.) and (probably because the recruiter got
a bonus for enlisting Nuke candidates) my recruiter encouraged me to
enlist in their nuclear engineering program. I knew I was not a science
or math type, so after reviewing the list of possible careers, I chose
journalist. I believe the career field or rating was collapsed along
with some others into a media rating, but at the time it was a 10-week
certification in print journalism. I also was selected to a 12-week
certification in broadcast journalism. And they had a two-week cert for
something called SITE technicians - Shipboard Information - Training &
Education - basically, they taught you how to operate a VCR (heady
stuff in 1983) and a film projector. We used carts to play TV programs
like Star Trek, Dukes of Hazzard, etc. for the crew at sea.
Hnh. Journalist, apparently, is still a career field in the Navy:
http://usmilitary.about.com/od/enlistedjob1/a/jo.htm
I'm not sure how proofreaders fare these days, but in '99 it was sweet.
The desk was of standard size, I worked more with pencil than red pen,
but absolutely agreed on the overall nirvananess.

You can use mine if you're nearsighted.

I suppose it's like saying you've never seen Titanic (I haven't) or
Forrest Gump (I have), but, no, I've never read those. I know McCourt's
very popular, but I've never even browsed one of his books. Will have
to correct that one day.

> Some consider Google evil you know. Rebuttal?
Would you expect anything less?
In (not so) short, Google is a useful tool. The colorful logo appeals
to my eyes. The information and its ease of acquisition appeals to my
thirst for quick access to all things online. Even the name offers a
nostalgic tug, Peanuts creator Charles Schulz was nicknamed "Sparky"
after Barney Google's horse "Sparkplug." Besides that trivia, I just
like the name.
Just LOOK at all this stuff: http://www.google.com/intl/en/options/
I have the Google toolbar at my fingertips. If I want to verify a
spelling or a word, I'll type in "word, definition" and Google
immediately offers links to various Web sites - http://www.answers.com,
http://wordnet.princeton.edu/, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/, etc.
Google rocks. Don't believe me? Just ask Capt. Google. ;o)
Wiki is another, www.urbandictionary.com another...
What're your favorite places to visit online?

Yes, you see those a lot on IAM. And, have I recommended that
destination to you?
You're familiar with http://www.bmezine.com/, iirc, well, Shannon
Larratt's created an equally impressive online locale in IAM. If you
haven't already, I encourage you to visit http://iam.bmezine.com/.
An old interview, but still might be of interest:
http://www.artpolitic.org/Interviews_Shannon_Larratt.bodymod-interview.0.html
And some Capt. Google image trivia! It initially appeared as this:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v108/curt_james/iam/haiku-man.jpg
It was created by an IAM friend and fellow haiku fan, Sporko. I loved
it and he graciously said I could do anything I wanted to with the
image, so I tweaked it a bit when Kavin started using that as my
nickname. I suspect Kav doesn't offer Capt. Google as a compliment
(perceptive, eh?) but I love it. Of course, I'm no captain, no, just
another loyal Google disciple. ;o)

I picked it up today at a big box bookseller. Teacher discount, too.
;o)
Thanks for mentioning it. Browsed two sections of the book and loved
what I read. I've never read McCourt, but this does look good.

Too numerous to mention. I'm here one day and the next way
over there. Few places hold my attention for very long, but
lately BME is doing a good job.
