so march 14th (3.14) is pi day, as in the ratio of the circumferance of a circle to the diameter. apparently my school has some kind of stuff going on, i'm probably just going to use it as an excuse to get drunk, not that i need one, i'm an engineer lol. so is anyone doing anything for this day?

So let me get this right, pi day is a holiday for your school? What the hell? Someone was really bored to come up with that.

no it's not a holiday but there are some events put on by the math society and random other things.

Serious as a heart attack.
I've been planning on a tat of the pi symbol for years... and figured that with the added pressure of the other girls in the office keeping me from punking out, I decided that Pi Day would be a great opportunity. Now if only I could decide on color or black ink. Or the exact symbol I want.

why the pi symbol? you're a truly dedicated maths teacher, you know that?
i've been thinking about a tattoo, the symbol on my necklace/chain. won't have anything done for a few years. my dad says if i have one done i'll be disowned and won't get any of the inheritance.

i know where i want it, inside right forearm. i want the tattoo to have like a ~2" diameter.
there isn't much way i could hide that from him. besides, there might be a point in time where i talk to him about it, explain i'm and adult (i'll be 18 in a couple weeks) and that it's my body.
Nicole will probably tell y'all i'm a huge hypocrite if she reads this.

you got a definite answer yet?
he really doesn't like piercings or tattoos. my mum doesn't wear earrings and my sister's not even allowed her ears pierced. other than those things, he's really laid-back.

At my school on pi day, all of the math teachers make a bunch of pies and study pi during class while they eat the pie. Too bad I don't have a math class this year.

Well, I didn't punk out, but I didn't get the tattoo, either. :(
Allow me to explain: I ride a trolley to work every day, so I don't have readily available transportation. Another girl at work offered to drive me down to the tattoo shop, which was awesome... until she changed her plans at the last minute. So then my ride disappeared. Then, the only other girl left in the office at 5:15pm was buzzed off her ass from some pain medication she took. And I wasn't about to ride an hour out of the city by trolley only to turn around and drive back for a tattoo.
So then I went home, and looked up tattoo shops in my local area... I drive there only to find out that they don't take walk-ins because "everything we do is custom, so the artists have to practice it beforehand". Blah Blah Blah... it's a friggin PI symbol! 5th graders can draw it!
So that's the story of why tangie doesn't have a pi tattoo yet.

Well, since fate was against me, I'm thinking the pi tattoo might wait until next March. I'm going to be in Washington DC (again) this weekend... so I'm thinking I might just get the "other" tattoo I've been planning on while I'm there. I think fate is pretty set on me not getting this tattoo at this time. Oh well. There's always next year. ;)

No, the pi tattoo was part of a pair. The "sister" tattoo is the original Apple Computer symbol (the stripey one). So together, apple on the left and pi on the right becomes apple pi. ;) I want to get my apple tattoo in DC when I'm down there all weekend for St. Patty's day.
Edit: Yeah, no tattoo... I kinda forgot I have a HUGE business trip in Atlanta NEXT WEEK, so I am going to need the cash. Stupid fate.

You're probably right, but then again, we end up ruling the world after school, while the jocks mop our floors, and we marry the dumb cheerleaders before its too late for their sex.
Ah life is good.:grinyes:
