accessorize
Jan. 22nd, 2006 07:17 amA quick snippet online caught my eye.
So I wear cheapie stuff. Crude pendants on cords mostly. I don't wear rings -- they affect grip on weapons and can get smashed flat with your finger still in them. I've seen some nasty damage happen that wouldn't've if the idiot girl had just been bare-handed. Necklaces sometimes, long cloth or leathern cords so I can tuck them into a shirt, keep them out of the way. Bracelets never for the same reasons as rings. Anklets -- only over sturdy boots and only when I'm being daft, to be honest.
No piercings, if you were curious. I've tried but my skin inflames and hurts, and shiny things on the sides of my head are not worth the ouch. To make matters worse, when I tried pierced ears, the earrings migrated enough that I don't think I could have kept them. If I had stupidly left them in, I think they would have migrated right out of there. At least with my l33t uber-skin, I don't scar. Thank Goddess for small favours, or in this case large annoying integumentary favours.
My foot's still not 100%. Fuck. I don't have the urge to beat my head into the hull anymore, at least, and I'm getting some detail repairs done around the place, but I'll be glad when I can kick some ass again. There's just something about a final blow that feels sooo right and victorious. IT's awesome.
Getting the head-hull urge again. Dammit. Where'd I leave that bevel?
That's pretty much me. A lot of jewellery and stuff isn't made to last very long (human-made stuff, I mean), and I'm... older than I look. Heirloom quality goods last for ages (or damn well should) but cost good money. I'd rather try to keep fixing up the Soul. Or is that keep trying to fix up the Soul? Eh, she's better than she was for awhile anyway.When it comes to accessorizing, your philosophy is:
Buy cheap. Change often.
