How I did it: I waited for the first Tatuesday after my boyfriend FINALLY drew me a design, which I'd been begging him to do for years. Unfortunately, when said day came around I was in bed with the flu.So I informed my two closest female friends that I wanted them to accompany on the next Tuesday, which they both agreed to. Of course they totally blew me off because they're both stupid bitches. I ended up making the call at about 9 pm, and asked if th… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I started by just holding my hand under hot water or too close to a flame. Then I would press recently lit lighters into my flesh, burning myself with the hot metal. Then I moved onto actually touching the flame. From there it went to putting cigarettes and matches out on my skin. Now I get fancy, and actually have a couple different branding irons that I make myself and use! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I avoided the inevitable as long as I could, but after three days in the woods there was no denying it. I had to poo. I trekked to the nearest shitter, toilet paper clutched in one hand, flashlight in the other.Upon arrival I found a circular enclosure constructed of fallen branches with a large camouflage tarp hung as the entrance. Inside were flies.. lots of them.I did the minimum amount of what had to be done and got out of there quickly. Read how I did it…

I’ve made a bit of progress. My boyfriend and I reduced our possessions to the size of the back of a Mazda Protege. I got rid of all of my clothes save for one storage bin full (well and a bit of my boyfriend’s bin as well). Shoe-wise, I’m down to one pair of flip flops, one pair of sneakers, and one pair of rope sandals. We kept all our camping gear, blankets, and two pillows. I have three hula hoops, my computer, and all my art and sewing supplies.
I haven’t missed anything yet.
I’ve gone from a Hyundai Tiburon full of stuff, to a one bedroom apartment full of stuff, to a two bedroom apartment full of stuff, to one big bedroom worth of stuff, to one tiny bedroom worth of stuff.
I hope to get back down to a carload worth of stuff, at which point I’ll hit the road.
