So I got my first tattoo on Friday. I woke up about 10 minutes before my appointment jumped in the car with Jake and were on our way. We got there filled out the paper work and begun. Ok I am going to be honest. It hurt like fuck. Anyone who says it is just annoying really is full of it. Four of the lines each hit a different vertibrae. So fuck yeah it hurt. But it was ok. Ever since I, I have gotten this very nice ability to go into a zen like state where I just don't even need to think about what is happening. I feel very good about it. It was a nice way to end this semester. I got the moon because at the end of each night at Cheley we would sing "I see the moon and the moon sees me/ The moon sees somebody I'd like to see/So God bless the moon/and God bless me/and God bless the somebody I'd like to see." And it is kind of a symbol of growing up and finding other communities (Cleo) where I can feel similar (but never as good) to the way I did at Cheley. I have had a very hard time letting go to my childhood and my past so this was I guess my way of doing it.
