Now that I think about it, we do look similar. His hair is very similar to mine as well. Though, mine is much, much longer. I took my lip-ring out after it ripped half-way through my lip. I'll be getting it re-pierced though. I do recall discussing the whole "Goth=Label", "Being a non-comformist is conforming to non-comformity" thing with you. lol No offense, but it kinda got routine for me after a while. In High School I was either very respected or very hated. I was respected my those who had an open enough mind to converse with me, and hated my those who chose to make ignorant statements and later regretted it.
