The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love.
I'm definitely feeling the need to go get tattooed again. The parental unit gave me permission on my 17th birthday to get more ink done, I just haven't decided what exactly I want to do next. I definitely still want the quote from The Crow, 'Real Love Is Forever', but I'm unsure of placement. I think it might clash with the floral theme that I'm planning, unless I were to get that written in script. I've still got time to think about that. Anyway.. lately I've been tossing around the idea of getting some sort of climbing flower tattooed on me, and then I started thinking about all the flowers that my Dad has grown over the years. I remember back when I was going to elementary school, it was like my entire front yard was a big garden - there were flowers everywhere. When I would be waiting for the bus in the morning, I would always go wandering around looking and smelling them, they were so pretty. My dad planted these gorgeous blue and purple morning glories for years, and he set them up so that they'd climb up and around the big tree in the front yard - I'd always sit by those while I waited for the bus because I knew by the time I got home from school, they wouldn't be open anymore, the petals would close up and wait until the following morning to open again. So tonight I started a search, and I found a beautiful morning glory triptych by Amy Brown :D I fucking love it. I would love to have the base of the stems start at like, my lower right hip, and have the flowers climbing up my right side, following the curves of my body and stopping near the top of my ribcage. It would hurt like fuck, and it might stretch out when I have kids... but that's something to worry about later. Touch-ups are always a possibility. I really, really want this.
