[pain of lust]

I was in my room and I noticed I have a lot of skulls; where in the world did they come from? So if you have some skulls how many and where did you get them from? I have 18 all from Walmart. lol

Mod edited for coherency.

I have a small copper ring with a small skull hanging off a link on it. The skull is made of real bone. I like going up to my friends and some people and lifting of my hand so they can say it, then saying, "Oh look, he's smiling at you."

If we are also talking close, then i would be counting from now til next year. Skulls are awsome.

I have one that's holding my books up straight. I have a big empty space in the middle of my middle shelf where I can keep a text book that's in current use without it taking up desk space, or just any group of papers or thing I'm using that takes up unessecary room on my desk. So I have a skull holding up the books on one side and a glass orb with glass fish, coral, and mountains in it.

The skull glows faintly green in the dark and is named Elvis. smile

I find skulls to be tacky, I don't like them.

I mostly agree. I mean, if you're going to go all the way and get REAL skulls (or anatomically correct model skulls used for demonstration), I'd say go for it. That's respectable at least for it's quality control. Otherwise, I find skulls ultimately kitschy (in the original sense, not in the modern sense of the word). And not in the good way. The mass production and consumer-appropriation of skulls lands somewhere in my mind around the word "laughable", though, not quite all the way there. I just find there to be something comedically juvenile about the mass-produced, shitty-quality, vaguely cartoonish, mold-poured plastic skulls that so many people have. And this sentiment spreads, often, to people with skull-print clothes, or posters with skulls, and so on. Again- high realism is respectable, and I'll give a free pass to skulls SO cartoonish that they're purely meant to be cute. But everything else in between... tacky, juvenile.

i don't have very many things with skulls on them. i just don't really care for them. i like the mexican-style skulls though, i think they are pretty. but i don't wear skull barrettes or whatever.
