uhh well, i fit the bill somewhat, i'm afraid.
1. I'm a novelist and freelance graphic designer. I don't function well in conventional employment.
2. I had a very difficult time as a teenager with mental health and other problems and consequently left school at fourteen. Therefore I have no qualifications whatsoever.
3. Most of my teens were spent in a drug-induced haze. I got myself hooked on speed and ended up homeless, taking pretty much anything I could get my hands on, exempting heroin and crack. I've been clean for six, seven years.
4. For a while I was a massive metal head. Now I tend to listen to post-rock, IDM, dubstep, neo-orchestral and glitch, but I have a very eclectic taste and like tracks from nearly every genre.
sorry to buoy the stereotype. but having said that, i'm far from a slacker... i look after my kid, work out three hours a day, practice music, work the rest of the day, and have a great house. so i've come a long way. body modifications encompass all areas of life, from street punks to university lecturers. my sister is a police officer and she has her tragus, helix and navel pierced.
this, really:
