so swoon, baby, starry night
alright, I started to update my journal a few days ago discussing in great detail Pan's Labyrinth. Then I got lazy. And then I realized that I wasn't going to do it, so I'm just going to start over. Pan's Labyrinth was really good. The end. On to next subject.
Wow, so a lot has happened since my last entry. Just a few things, briefly... Yesterday was the official Kenny and I had been dating for 3 months. A nice little landmark, all considering with my bad luck with the number 3 or any number divisible by it. Yes, silly, but if I sat down with you and explained how long all my relationships have lasted, you'd be surprised and despise '3' as well. This past weekend I had possibly the most significant experience of my life that I can't discuss on here. If you really care to know, call me. All I can say is it was.. life altering, in an amazing way.
Tomorrow is not only Valentine's day, but a snow day. A tiny little gift, I suppose. Kenny and I will be dining at the Cheesecake Factory, which, as always, I am really looking forward to. Well, truth be told, I could go to any restaurant and be happy, as long as it was with Kenny. I firmly support the statement 'it's not where you are or what you're doing, but who you're with.' I've got a few surprises for him that I'm really excited to give him.
Next week we have off. Hopefully Apple is going to hire me, then I'd be training next week, as well as babysitting my neighbors kids on the side. For a brief minute I was under the impression that I was going to be traveling down to Florida with Kenny and part of his family but for unforeseen circumstances, that won't happen. I can't hide that I'm disappointed. As some of you may recall, it was around this time last year that I drove down to Florida for a week with Tim's family. I do have a few good memories from my time on that trip, but most of those good memories involve Tim's family. Tim was particularly moody while we were there together, at me in general- keep in mind this was only about two months before he broke up with me. I was hoping to have the chance to replace those memories with better ones, with somebody I hold more dear to myself than Tim ever could have hoped to be. I suppose I was also fond of the idea about going away on vacation with Kenny, to a state far away from this one that we call home. All in due time, I guess.
So, I know what my next tattoo is going to be... Are you ready for this, because it's kind of surprising? I want to get a tattoo spanning my whole back. It will be of a bare tree, branches stretched out, longingly; roots spread far. There will be birds flying out of the branches and behind the branches, a universe, swirling infinitely. At the base of the tree, there will be a rabbit-hole, much like the one in Alice in Wonderland, and on that theme, Alice will be kneeling on the ground, peering into the dark hole. I'm also considering having flowers growing out of the roots of the tree.
Previously, I would have scoffed at the idea of a back tattoo, let alone one that covers my whole back, but this would be artwork. It will be so beautiful. I just need to find an artist that can draw it up as beautifully as I see it in my head. I am well aware that the cost of such a large, detailed piece is something that would make me cry, so that is why I know I'm not getting it anytime soon. I figure that will allow me to be "sound enough" of mind to say that I really want it, if in two months, I am still planning on getting it. Anyway, enough about my life.
