I went to Broken Art Tattoo, which is really lovely. It's set up like a comfy lounge, lots of sofa, very airy and light. Good, calm atmosphere.
Weirdly, while I was sitting on one of the couches hanging out waiting for the artist to work on the transfer, a dude came in, walked up to me, and asked me if I could take a walk-in.
I apparently look like someone who works there. Which is odd, since I have no visible tats.
ETA: I went on a rec from a friend, who got a tiny piece of her mother's writing tattooed on her arm (I love you more...). Her mom is dying of cancer, and the artist refused to charge her for it, since he lost his own mom after a long battle with cancer.
Gorgeous work.
It's very cool, Allyson.
God, I want more ink so much. I have it all planned, too. Where's the goddamn tattoo fairy when you need him?
Allyson, that's a great tattoo!

I KNOW. I really need to crack the whip on that artist I have around here and get him to finish the next batch of designs.
Actual email from asshat on OKCupid:
do you tend to be submissive in bed? most fat girls are.
My self-esteem remains intact.
OK, so I'm reading
Geography of Bliss
which is particularly resonant of late. Cause I'm startled by the happy (two days morose is fading) and poking at it like a new discovery. Anyway, so many pages are bookmarked. Have to share a tidbit :
Change your location and you just may change yourself. It's not that distant lands contain some special "energy" or that their inhabitants possess secret knowledge (though they may) but rather something more fundamental: By relocating ourselves, we shake loose the shackles of expectation. Adrift in a different place we give ourselves permission to be different people.
Um, can I say hallelujah? Been changing places for 6 months, and oh yeah, I done do that.
(For the record, book is very irreverent, quote notwithstanding.)
That book looks excellent, sara.

Oh my god. I would be so tempted to show up at his door with a bullwhip.

Is it wrong to reply, "do you tend to be stupid in real life? Most douchebags are."
You've just reminded me that I have a lot of OK Cupid mail to reply to. I'm sure all the guys have had time to find their perfect matches and get married since we last chatted. I'm so bad with that shit.
(but I'm not so happy I'd try dating. Oy. I'll stick to expensive trips and ill advised whatevers. Shutting up now. Really, sara.)
