omg, me and my partner in pirating/hurdles (yes sports is so dull that we played pirates and shouted at quote at each hurdle) were going to try that, it plays 3 times a day and we were going to spend a day watching it on loop at the cinema. Except we're both sort of broke and I'm leaving on saturday.
I have 6 obsessed friends ( not as obsessed as me) , 2 who only saw some of the movies, and the rest hate it (started out with one girl hating it, she got popular, and everyone hates it all of a sudden) Oh yeah, and this boy who at times I bother, and then he bothers me, and then we start laughing, and then two girls near me make fun of him, and then the teacher comes and picks on him, and then I flirt with the boy, and what am I going on about? Oh yeah... The boy is almost as obsessed as me.
Okay, here it is loves! (several of these have already been pointed out)

And forget about just sticking to the sparrow tatto and P brand, go the whole way and draw scars on your self and then when your sister asks "why you got white line?" You tell her it's what big kids think is cool and give her a scar like Sao Feng.
What can I say? I've got a total pirate problem. I thought about creating a group called "My friends tell me I have a "pirate problem", so this is where I come for therapy."
As far as the scars go - awesome miss_swann! Yeah, when I was CJS for halloween one year, I tried out my costume the night before (tattoo and all) and ended up wearing the tattoo to school the next day. Anytime I rolled up my sleeve my friends were shocked (the ink I used was that black-green sort that looks exactly like real tattoo ink). Dressing up like pirates is the *best*
