See, that was sort of the reasoning behind my first tattoo: I wanted to force myself to remember that committing myself to something isn't the end of the world - that if I want to do something spontaneous, I shouldn't always stress the long-term repercussions. Because who knows? Maybe I'll get hit by a bus tomorrow. Or maybe the repercussions won't be that bad. Or if they are, I can probably deal with them.

That would be a bummer, but it could happen.

Edward Gorey (or Ogdred Weary, as he's sometimes published as) rocks. He's so morbid! And funny! *g* I'd love to be able to draw like him. It's not that it's particularly hard, more that it's intensive - time-consuming.
