The Email I received today, that made it a little more tolerable Monday:
"Hello All,
Please forgive the group email...you are hearing from me either because I
photographed your typographic tattoo for my book, "BODY TYPE: Intimate
Messages Etched in Flesh" or you are the photographer/tattoo artist who gave
me permission to use your photos.
Either way, I am so excited to tell you that BODY TYPE is coming soon! BODY
TYPE is a beautifully produced and handsome hardcover full color book (and
very affordable)...it is the very first book ever done on typographic
tattoos... It is published by Abrams, with very high production standards.
I am hoping that since you are IN the book you will want at least one copy,
since (with a few exceptions) almost all the photos are full-page and look
gorgeous. (Some of you are pictured several times in the book, depending on
the number of typographic tattoos I shot).
BODY TYPE will be available in September. For now, you can join its MySpace
page as a friend if you are on Myspace, or, if you are not, it is free and
easy to join. Here is where you can view the book:

http://www.hnabooks.com/index.php/d///0810970503/ You can also find it on Amazon for the amazingly low price of $12.77 but
PLEASE DON'T PRE-ORDER IT YET because if you wait until it is actually
available, more people will be ordering at once and it will give the book a
higher rating on Amazon.
***Please feel free to let your friends know about the book, too!
I promise I will email you again to let you know when...meanwhile I just
wanted to give you a heads up because I am so proud of the book and hope you
will be excited about being in it.

Other than that, I'm in a relationship now. With a sane and normal guy. It's been an amazing whirlwind.We're both happy and content and spend approx. 16 hours together per day. I know, I have that evil personality where I hate being around someone for more than 5 hours usually, but... with him I don't mind it at all.
My room is very hot, due to someone taking out my a/c. thanks whoever did that.
