Tidbits

I'm feeling a bit better now. The weight hasn't really lifted yet, and the next 2-4 weeks are going to suck royally, but at least I have a clearer view of what's up.

I'm here in North Bay for the reading week, and with the shows being done by noon most days, and no work, and Nathan at work, I'll be able to do at least some reading, assignments and catching up over the next week. That is, if I can stop myself from looking for new tattoos to get and clicking though www.theknot.com.

I'm going to attempt to attatch pictures of the 3 new ideas I have for my tattoo...


First is a rose that will go pretty much right on my left hip bone, which is pretty much what I've wanted for a while.

It is from a group of tattoo images that can be found here.

I love that they're all very simple and stylized, and both clean and elegant.



The second is a variation of the "heart-flower" design I've wanted since I was a kid, but I'm now unsure of. It's pretty, but, (I'm not sure if you can see it in as much detail, but...) it's more girly than the others, and this version might not look as good in black and white. I don't like colour tattoos, only because the colour tends to fade or go wonky over time.


And the last is one I just recently found, and is compleatly gorgeous, which I will probably put on an ankle. I'm still debating one for the lower back, and a vine band around my arm... but that will be decided at a later date.

I know at some point, I will probably be getting more piercings in my ears, and possibly in my navel. I want all of these, though, to commemorate special events in my life. My Butterfly is significant, because I can say that when I turned 21, I got my wings. The next will be a sort of Graduation gift to myself for getting through 4 years of Nipissing. I'll get one when I get my diploma from my next program, and another if I do the dual degree that Steve Suggested, but I'll talk about that later. Nathan and I are already talking about getting matching hearts or something after we've been together for X amount of time... And I'll never run out of ideas. Places to put them, maybe... there are only so many places I would get tattoos on my body (some places are tacky, some I can't do, like the shoulder (because I want to expand the butterfly), and some I won't do because of the stretch factor... Even lower back is iffy for me...)

More tomorrow... Now I must sleep, for tomorrow, I entertain small children.
