Your choice of ink and artist is superb, it's amazing how lighly the red seems to be applied. Cute purple 'cut too, is that new ? I can empathise entirely about both busy-ness and sucking at keeping in touch with friends, always reassuring to know you're surviving, when you do check in on LJ. At least for me, super-busy season is just about over and I should feel a bit less swamped shortly. My condolances for your loss; however tough things were for him, it makes it no easier on those they leave behind.
Why, thank you. The artist I chose is King Afa at Zulu Tattoo in Los Angeles, California - I'd recommend him as highly as is humanly possible. The red is actually just swelling - it's healed to a very light, shaded grey. The purple is pretty new. I've actually switched it now to red with purple underneath, I'll be posting pictures when I get some better ones.
Even though I know it's completely normal, I still feel bad about losing contact with people. It's good to know that I'm not the only one who becomes antisocial/forgets about the internet when I'm busy. Being swamped is no fun. Enjoy your rest when it comes. I'm afraid my workload is only just beginning.
The person I know who died wasn't particularly close to me, but it was still quite a shock, and it made me very sad. Thank you so much for your condolences.
I'm so happy for you - I'm glad you've made the transition, I'm glad you're happy, and I'm equally glad that you've found someone to be happy with. Don't feel like a dick for being mad at me, you had no idea about what happened and had every reason to be mad at me.
I send you love, James. take good care of yourself, aye?
It makes all the sense in the world, actually I feel the same way about both of my tribals - like they were there, under my skin the whole time, and someone just needed to uncover them.
hahahaha. If only there were a cure for college...
The purple hair, I think, really suits you even more so than the blue, which I'm already a huge fan of.
I was beginning to wonder if you'd 'fallen off the face of the earth! Glad to see you're okay, all losses aside.
I've been pretty busy, myself. Full time work and full time school and, sadly, not a whole lot else. But I get to rock out a lot, so it's all good, I guess.
You still owe Bo and me a vsiit.
Or, failing that, me. MEEEE!
Where are you now?
I hope everything stays shapely and swimming for you. You are in my thoughts!
Every now and then, I get a little glimpse of something that could only be due to accumulation of random chance by the furthest stretches of the human imagination, that, dare I say it, seems almost fated or meant to happen. My tattoo was one of those wonderful things, those happens-even-though-making-it-happen-would-take-a-miracle kind of things
( ... )
Your artist connection sounds almost spiritual! Which, I suppose, for a tattoo is more than fitting. Perhaps Banksy was your burning bush. I'm certain he'd probably bristle at a statement like that. Oh, you wacky artists!
Mmm. Red and purple.
I entirely understand your desire to avoid the webnets computron for a while. I can't say I blame you at all! Life can be particularly mundane at times and writing about it just ends up feeling silly. "Today I brushed my teeth for seven minutes and ten seconds." Bleh!
New York is sooooo far away. Tear.
Yes, next time we're both online at the same time, music swapping. Or, e-mail me your address; I'll burn some CDs for you. (Lots of my new music has dreadful DRM on it. I am full of rage.)
Hee. Consumate. Be still my beating heart!
I hope things go well for you, too! And that I hear from you again sooner rather than later!

How have you been, honey?
As an afterthought, your icon never ceases to freak me out a little bit.

I love my icon. I want to make a few more, but my webcam broke a while ago. I'll have to spend the $20 and get a new one, but I'm too damn cheap.
