is it terribly nerdy to reference someone else's blog in your blog?

so i've been thinking about getting tattoos. or at least _a_ tattoo.

but a funny thing happened to me on the way over to mom's house today. i was leaving nick and marts' place, and nick asked, "are you going to wear your nose ring over to the rents place?" me: "ummm.... no. i don't think so" (because i had told them about the time i went up north, and dad came out in the driveway to help me bring stuff in, and i had my nosering in, and he said something like, "i thought you got that thing taken out when you got divorced, so noone could lead you around again" and i was like, "d'oh!! do you think i should take it out before mom sees?" and he says, "she's going to make fun of you more than i am.") so marts told me about how nervous she was (at age 30) when she went to her mom's house, showing off her dual eyebrow pierces for the first time. funny how cavalier we are most of the time, how liberated and free. until it comes to telling our moms what we're up to...

so, today i didn't wear the nosering over to the rents place. and i don't have tattoos yet, but i'm thinking about them, and how do you tell your parents about that kind of stuff?

sometimes it's hard to have an honest conversation with m&p. i guess i feel like sometimes i'm putting something together, and want to bounce it off of mom, and she's like, "thanks for stopping by, see you later. take care!" and then i don't say it, because our interview is over.

so, i want to tell the rents about my nosering, because my mojo just seems to go better when i have it in. and i want to talk about tattoos, which they don't have and would discourage (like the nosering). but also i want to ask them about them smoking pot. something i hear they did a lot of. and i want to tell them about my experiences. but i just can't seem to slide that in. i don't think i can do it without being confrontational, and i like having them around, i'd hate to have it all be as fucked up as it was before. *shrug*
