I've just posted an experience update with 141 new stories to the site. In addition to Gillian's deeply traumatized mother, there's been some funny commentary on the latest annual “interview” as well out in the blogosphere (since it's been picked up by Screenhead and others)…
I don't love you this much.
Isn't it great, to have upper boundaries on love? A finger's width away, say, from overdosing on schmoop?
...And we used to think Billy Bob and Angelina were creepy.(more)Maybe im getting progresively more cinical about relationships lasting (or even working at all) but i think despite that, THIS is way too much for me.
Amputation by itself is way beyond from what i think i would ever go as far as body mods are concerned... but actually chopping fingers for love (i wont judge if its real love or if theyre just too high on phenylethylamine) by BITING each other...dude, thats light years beyond my limit for what i consider reasonable.
Anyway i used to think the same about getting a tattoo for a girlfriend... and i did so (i still think is not a advisable thing to do, even though i dont regret it coz i think that the tat fucking rocks). So if you happen to see me with a chopped finger... please wish me luck with that relationship and then call me a fuckhead (more)
Other that that of course some very nice comments (most serious) from IAM members, and I think that the sentiment is definitely appreciated even if there's a story-telling element to it all. Jeers to the no-sense-of-humor-having desperate-to-feel-superior spoil-sports who wanted to advertise how clever they were by trying to take away other people's fun… You guys officially made my “don't include them in the next fun toy you build because they have no sense of humor” list. Congratulations.*
If you enjoyed that interview by the way, from back in 1999 you may also like Adding and Subtracting, an “interview” with identical twin amputee/transplant artists (feedback and more). “They” have an IAM page as well… It really was my favorite interview/article/event of the bunch.
While I was waiting for some stuff to process earlier, I did a little mini-interview with a highschool student who's doing a project on underage body modification. Here's what I told her… it's a little sloppy because I had to rush my answers, but I hope it helps.

* Was that an April Fools joke too? I'm dastardly that way.
