Tats and Toos
:Boring Tattoo discussion if you feel like reading:
Lately (and I'm not sure why)I've been obsessed with tattoos. I love looking at people's and even searching online looking at stranger's. There are some tattos that are just awful, and some of them that work and have meaning, and they're lovely. I knew about the tattoos I wanted to get, but I finally figured out a good way to tie the 3 of them in together. I've wanted "Everything was Beautiful and Nothing hurt" on my back for 5 years now. My sister designed it to look like the opening of a story, with a large E, and a scroll wrapping under the phrase after "hurt". And recently, I've decided I want 2 more to tie it in. I want the storybook peter pan flying through stars on the underside of my arm in bright tattoo colors for my mom/ms.rita... i don't feel like getting into the meaning, but i think most of you know that story to begin with. Last night, I figured out the best way to tie them all in. On the top of my foot I want to get an artist (I'm talking to Elise about it) to design their rendition of a carrot flower, and to tie in the phrase Happily Ever After with it.. because this tattoo is for Pat. I have a beginning, middle, end, of the story tattoos. The carrot flower is because of Neutral Milk Hotel's "King of the Carrot Flowers Part 1"... which if you listen to the lyrics, I feel, sums up Patrick's childhood, current parental situation, and even the beginnning of our relationship. That song was written for him. And that's what I want.
:Back to Normal Live Journal Update:
Tonight Patrick and I are going to go to Panera bread and enjoy some yummy food. We're also going to go to the library and check out a movie to watch later that night. Also at the library we're going to look through Peter Pan storybooks to find a good Peter that's not the Disney version.
I'm excited because I get to go to the beach again for a couple of days with my parents.
