The exacto that I use is in a general toolbox under my bed. I only really cut on my thighs (because I never really where miniskirts or shorts or anything, plus it's my least favorite part of the body... punishing the ugliness, perhaps?) and very occasionally my arms, very strategically. I always make sure I'm wearing dark-colored sweatpants so that blood won't show. Before my cuts become white scars, like when they're still red and scabbed over, I have a tendency to constantly check on them and, as horrible as this sounds, admire my work.

i often find myself admiring my work although i don't cut my thighs i cut my upper left arm only i stop everytime i take of my shirt to admire my cuts and scars so if that is what crazy people do then we are both crazy or maybe other people who don't are crazy? :) i think it makes sense so don't stress about it too much
