I was never a JW, but plenty of this resonates with me. I remember feeling just as "worldly" in my parents' church with long hair as you did with your nose ring. :) The atheism probably didn't help either, and they could probably smell it on me.
And hey, this post reminds me of a super-badass "Awake!" illustration that I was thinking about getting tattooed! It was this mega-hottie riding a three-headed (two-headed?) tiger, representing the Whore of Babylon or some shit. I wonder if there's any way for me to find it again; I got it on my doorstep somewhere between July 2006 and May 2007.
Anyway, it's good to be back to LJ after a long absence and to see that you're still keeping up the good work. :) Thank you for amusing and interesting posts and links.
And btw, my partner checked out your impromptu silly dance video and was thoroughly impressed by how you move.
