(Although I do have some qualms about getting tattoos in alphabets you don't read...)
A few years ago, all the Jewish blogs were mocking Britney Spears when she got a Hebrew tattoo on the back of her neck. It took a few tries for anyone to figure out how it actually said what she said it was supposed to say, but then somebody figured out that it was not only misspelled but backwards -- the letters were left to right instead of right to left.
Snerk. While trying to find that Britney Spears tattoo, I found a post about how David Beckham found out that his mother was Jewish, and decided to commemorate this by getting "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine" in Hebrew tattooed on his arm. He already had a huge cross tattooed on his chest.
Hmm. The pictures I'm finding of Britney's tattoo look right. It must have been someone else with the backwards one. Unless she got it fixed -- I found something mentioning that she got it lasered off.
And David Blaine got Primo Levi's Auschwitz number tattooed on his own arm. That's all kinds of wrong.
I'm about to head out. Wish me luck. Or rather, wish me no mind-losing.
Timelies all!
No tatoos for me, thanks. (Among the reasons is that I can't think of any symbol, image or name I'd want on my person forever.)
sarameg, good luck -- it's best to consider this phase still information-gathering. Enough time to consider what you really want, and what you really don't want to live with, in a house and/or neighborhood really pays off.
When I was trying to move to New York, I had a broker refuse to make an appointment with me because I hadn't seen enough places yet. Which I now see makes sense -- it does take a while to get a sense of what's out there. In short, yes: information gathering.
Yep. (Note that I DID buy the first place that I took a tour of, but there was some hurried touring of Other Properties between the time I saw it and the offering.)
Signs of Impending Springiness here: I just saw a goddamed BEE fly past my window.
We didn't buy the first place we saw. Which is good. It was too far out of the center of Niles -- backed up to the boulevard which means harleys all day long esp. sat and sunday and It was boring. We bought the second.
