erika, you're not hideous, your home state is.

Ginger, can you try and see them as reformed catepillars?

Even if I could, I know those butterflies will lapse and make more caterpillars.

Erika, the word "hideous" and you do not belong in the same sentence. I bet you have more chance of schmoop than I do. Of course, so do cloistered nuns on desert islands, so perhaps that's not helpful.

Nicole - we are doing this somehow, right?!?!?!?!?

Oh, are you speaking to me now? ::cries pitifully::

Of course we are! Do you know what tattoo you want yet? Do you know where you're getting it put?

Hasty is not a word I want to describe permanent ink on my body.

Yeah. BTDT and also the reason I'm getting something tattooed over it.

brenda, when are you flying home? Will you still be in SF on Monday?

I'm so hideous nobody will ever want schmoop with me

Crazy talk.

Oh, are you speaking to me now? ::cries pitifully::

Did I accidentally ignore you, sweets? I'm sorry.

I want to expand my palm tree tat - it needs a background.

I have other ideas for a true second tat, but nothing fully formed enough to follow through with. Plus, placement - not sure where I want another one.

Askye, have you tried googling for images of actual dragonflies? I don't know if you what stylized or naturalistic, though.

Bra color: I don't wear white shirts (I have staining issues, and white and me are non-mixy) and most of my bras are black or colored. The one nude one I have have black lace that looks like tattoos. Basically, I don't wear anything see-through-ish to school, and the rest of the time, i could give a fuck. I'm kinda cleavagey/see-through girl, anyway, so there a whole lot of I Don't Care What You See going on. I mean, when you have a top cut down to the sternum, the whole issue of purple or white bra strappage becomes kinda moot to me.

Not everyone is as blase about skin or undergarments, as I am, though. YUnderpinningsMV.

Thanks, everyone. May be true being a hometown girl never did me any favors...don't think that's it, though.If I can't move, maybe will practice Scandinavian inflections and pretend to be a hot Swedish chick that got somewhat dented in shipping. People from here do it all the time. In my old place, I heard them, I swear.

Did I accidentally ignore you, sweets?

That's ok. I just asked how you were earlier. You know, out of concern for you. ::sniff:: No big. ::wipes away tears:: Heh.

I know I want the tat that I currently have on my ankle covered over with a new one but that's about as far as I've gotten, for now.

My boss just came in to check on me! I guess he knows that he's my boss now. Well, poop.

I'm doing ok - the usual, you know.

Quicky life update - mom is having an "outpatient medical procedure" and I'm working late at work, waiting to get the call so I can pick her up.

K-Bug IS going to her bf's senior prom on the19th. The JV team is keeping her busy and she has her AP History test on Friday.

CJ is busy with school and Little League - he has another game tonight. Thank gosh the weather has stayed nice.

DH has a new computer that had driver issues yesterday. Bless him for dealing with it himself instead of making me call the support line.

I started a new class last week and I am woefully behind. I'm not exaggerating in the least - I should really drop it and start again in a week.

Is it any wonder I wanna run away and do a buffista world tour?

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!
