1. I currently hold a part time job and have been offered others with no concern as to what is in my ears.

2. I graduated high school with a 3.69 GPA as well as college with a 4.0.

3. I'm not straight edge, I just choose myself not to do drugs as they don't appeal to me, but I do have the occasional drink or two.

4. My taste in music goes far beyond just heavy metal. I listen to just about everything. I'll give anything a listen.

uhh well, i fit the bill somewhat, i'm afraid.

1. I'm a novelist and freelance graphic designer. I don't function well in conventional employment.

2. I had a very difficult time as a teenager with mental health and other problems and consequently left school at fourteen. Therefore I have no qualifications whatsoever.

3. Most of my teens were spent in a drug-induced haze. I got myself hooked on speed and ended up homeless, taking pretty much anything I could get my hands on, exempting heroin and crack. I've been clean for six, seven years.

4. For a while I was a massive metal head. Now I tend to listen to post-rock, IDM, dubstep, neo-orchestral and glitch, but I have a very eclectic taste and like tracks from nearly every genre.

sorry to buoy the stereotype. but having said that, i'm far from a slacker... i look after my kid, work out three hours a day, practice music, work the rest of the day, and have a great house. so i've come a long way. body modifications encompass all areas of life, from street punks to university lecturers. my sister is a police officer and she has her tragus, helix and navel pierced.

this, really:

1. How many of you have a stable job or have qualifications for a job (The economy sucks.)

No job right now but I've had some in the past. It was really a hassle because they wouldnt let me wear my plugs so i would take them out before work. That definitely lagged me from sizing up.

2. How many of you graduated highschool, or higher levels of education?

I graduated HS in June '11. Going back to community college in April to get my AA in the next couple years and hopefully Academy of Art afterwords. I'll admit I'm a bit of a slacker but i do have goals and ambitions :D



3. Do you use drugs/whatever?

in HS i tried weed, alcohol, cocaine, X, and Vicodin. It was fun back then because i was young but ive been clean for a while now. I occationally have a drink and i smoke cigs

4. Do you listen to what my mom refers to as "devil worshipping" music? AKA, heavy metal.

No, but my mom does LOL real talk she's into all that stuff but in no way does she worship any devil. As for me, I like listening to some rock eg. Foo Fighters, Linkin Park, system of a Down but im an avid old school, underground, and gangster rap listener eg. Tribe Called Quest, The Pharcyde, Wu-Tang, Curren$y, Ice Cube

(1) I'm a practice manager at two Chiropractic practices and I am the director of an artist management company.

(2) I'm a qualified audio engineer and horticulturalist. I finished high school back in '95. I've started quite a few degrees, from commerce and biological studies to psychology before I settled on my audio degree.

(3) Hmmmm, I may partake in the greenery now and then (not that I can confirm this)......

(4) I listen to pretty much everything BUT metal (and it's not because it's crud or anything, it's merely my taste). Tell your mum I'm a classical music nutter.

I'm pretty dull and mundane; piercings and such are my only outlet for the wilder side of my personality. I work all day and all night, rarely get to "party" and even at 33 got my ears pierced for the fifth time. Cause I could ;) And I'll do it again dammit hahahahaha
An avid piercer....15 piercings, including tongue, labret, ears 5 pairs, aaaaand maybe some that we won't mention here ;)
