Leavin on a jet plane
Tomorrow I leave for training, so no updates (aww, I know you are all *so* sad, heh) till Friday or so, unless I somehow have internet access in the hotel (fat chance)
Today I went with Jaime while she got her third (and totally rockin) tattoo. I've always considered getting one, but never thought about what or where to put it. I've found the where though: I want to get one around my left wrist, specifically words. I saw a few people in school with one like that, and I liked the way it looked. Plus, by having it there, it is easily covered up by a long sleeve shirt or a watch, so no worries there.
Now my big question is, what to put there? I was thinking about it a lot - because this is pretty permanent - and started thinking abstractly about what defines me as a person. I'm creative. I love writing and books and knowledge. I'm a romantic and love love (and the idea of it) and...well, that pretty much covers it I guess. So I did some reading around, for some good quotes, especially stuff that would fit on my wrist, and came up with quite a few good ones.
SO! I need some LJ input please. I'll be gone all week, so this will give you plenty of time to look at all of these, and the people who really know me, can ponder which one you think might work best. I've got a few favorites, but I won't let on just yet. I may not even end up going through with this, or use any of these, but I really do like the idea and the quotes, so I think some of these will really work.
I put them behind the cut, so please just let me know which ones you like the best (and no, I won't put the author) :)
