So, for anyone that doesn't know: I'm finally inked. Two more photos of it under the cut.

It's permanent. They tell me it never comes off. I've been talking about getting it done for years now, so I guess it's really strange and sort of surreal that it's there every morning when I wake up. But I love it; I love what it represents in my life, and how something so small can encompass a feeling so infinite. I've realized that talking about it with others really makes me uncomfortable though, because it is something so personal, and I feel like no explanation I could verbally give will ever make them fully understand. I don't know, it's weird.

PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS LIKE, 'WHAT IS WRONG?' ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, THAT IS JUST MY FACE )


I found this quote today; I can't get over how me it is:

"Over the years I have developed a picture of what a human being living humanely is like. She is a person who understands, values and develops her body, finding it beautiful and useful; a person who is real and is willing to take risks, to be creative, to manifest competence, to change when the situation calls for it, and to find ways to accommodate to what is new and different, keeping that part of the old that is still useful and discarding what is not."


One more day left in America. ... Yeah.

I voted for the first time in my life today. I made history.
i voted!

It's the first time in eight years that I've felt proud to be an American.

loud purrs and a beating heart; you're my favorite


Lots of art inspiration flowing in these last few days; not quite sure what I'm going to do with it all yet. I've worked thirty-three hours this week; I am exhausted. Only twenty days until schools starts; here's hoping that new schedule/availability works out accordingly with my life. Do you ever sit and think about everything that will never happen to you?

p.s. Layout is now complete with cute background.

This weekend was spring break; six people in my apartment; two job interviews; St. Patty's Day parade; green beer!; breakfast at Clary's; afternoon at Forsyth; total city blackout (probably one of the weirdest experiences of my life... especially to drive in...); sleeping without power; a lot of my giggling; new job as a bookseller at B&N; good music; good friends; good place to live.

The new apartment hunt is officially on. I've been checking the listings every morning. We really want a third bedroom to use as studio space and house our mountains of art supplies. I'd love a shelf to organize my paints, a cheap filing cabinet to sort collage papers and magazine clippings, one spot to put our cutting board, x-acto knives, canvases, graphic rulers, matte board, etc. A second bathroom, or even a half bath, would not go without appreciation either. Thankfully, just by upping our rent budget $100 each, we're well within the right to such a place... it's just finding one higher than Duffy Street that seems to be problematic. Oh, and some place with a washer and dryer, seeing as our laundry mat is full of crackwhores and antagonizing homeless men.



I tried to help Sirius overcome his fears yesterday and received this exclamation point for a wound. I've been having way too much fun with it, punctuating the end of my sentences with the palm of my hand. I like it. I kind of hope it leaves a scar.

Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloweener, kids!

TROOOOOLLL! TRROOOOLLL IN THE DUNGEOOON! )

Room 260 of Turner House is no longer missing a roommate. The wonderful Lauren moved into our room last Friday and she's pretty much awesome.

Friday I'm volunteering with the cats and kittens at the Savannah Humane Society. Cuuute!
