this one's for gordy

i'm talking to mattgreen about big brother. i'm explaining that i could never go on that programme because my tattoo would give me away.

alicey: somebody would ask me why i got it and once i told them, every ex-boyfriend i'd ever had would come crawling out to the papers.
mattgreen: you'd have to make up some other reason.
alicey: i couldn't do that!
mattgreen: of course you could. all you'd have to do is stand up and start shouting, (mattgreen shakes his fist in the air) l5r! l5r! l5r!!

Comments:
Your reason for getting a tattoo is the most constant and memorable thing about you? Or have I understood this even less than I was meant to?
 
Hmm. Er, this entry doesn't really make any sense now I read it again.

It was part of a conversation about how I would trust my more recent ex's not to go to the papers and make up giant lies, because most of them were actually alright. It's the people I dated when I was 17 or 18 I'd be worried about. I was saying how it'd be easy for them to drag out a few pictures to prove they really knew me (and my tattoo would give it away).

L5R, a card game along the same lines as Magic, has a clan called the Scorpion Clan. It has a symbol similar (but DIFFERENT) from my tattoo. A few years ago at GenCon, people kept asking me if I was a member of Scorpion Clan. I was not amused - L5R players are weirdos, and their game involves stamping, clapping, shouting and waving flags.

So, er, that's a bit of explanation. Somehow it doesn't seem so funny anymore. Tsk.

Absolutely.

No similarities.

Whatsoever. None.

See, that's what you get by messing with me. Photos of you and Ms. Thirring.

Settlers of Catan anyone?
