Quickie...
Wow... 9 days. Haven't been here for a while.
I've been too busy spending money. I LOVE Christmas money. Actually, got some new furniture too. Have to stop now though and pay for some of this stuff...
Was 1 year on the 26th since I quit smoking. I'm very proud of myself. Two years for hubby on the 28th. Wow, we've saved a lot of money.
Got some more tattoos... (after all, this
is Boo's Tattoos right?) Haven't downloaded from the camera yet though. I've actually booked another for a week and a half from now. I'm on a roll.
Finished the first part of my friend's sleeve tattoo - waiting for him to send me a scan so I can post it (if you're reading this dude, make with the scanner!!). It turned out really good. I can't wait to see it tattooed on his arm.
Anyone notice the similarity between where I'll wind up in hell and the result of my "seduction style" quiz? Just curious. I must be a horny bitch or something - LOL...
Alright. Bedtime. Have to be chipper for the furniture delivery tomorrow!! :) hahahaha
Tattoo pics coming soon... promise.
I knew it!!!
The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Second Level of Hell!Second Level of Hell
You have come to a place mute of all light, where the wind bellows as the sea does in a tempest. This is the realm where the lustful spend eternity. Here, sinners are blown around endlessly by the unforgiving winds of unquenchable desire as punishment for their transgressions. The infernal hurricane that never rests hurtles the spirits onward in its rapine, whirling them round, and smiting, it molests them. You have betrayed reason at the behest of your appetite for pleasure, and so here you are doomed to remain. Cleopatra and Helen of Troy are two that share in your fate.
Here is how you matched up against all the levels:

My leg has healed up nicely and we're moving on to other things now.
I have a little memorial to my Dad planned, I've finally got Bailey's paw print - so I can do that one, which will be white so not terribly noticeable, and I've decided I want a shadow under the moth on my back. And I may make the gladiolus taller.
I can actually do all of those in one session (Thursday the 21st :) happy happy joy joy) and motor on. Lots of ideas swirling around, but nothing definitive yet.
My art is gracing my husband again - he has 2 now and is thinking about a couple more... here's his second.
A good friend has also tattooed some of my work, but I'm still waiting on a photo. I'll be designing a sleeve for a friend of his as well.
Anyway, we're all works in progress aren't we? I know I'm never quite satisfied, not just with the tattoos, but with me - inside or out. Most of the time I can live with who I am and what I believe in, but time is passing so fast, and there's still so much to do.
I think I'll go draw.
Update!! Got the pic of my buddy's tattoo (for which I did the artwork) - here it is. There's an important meaning to it, but its personal, so admire the art and never mind what it means!! :)
TGIF
Sometimes I wonder what compels us/me to watch the news.
I seem to have this need to know what’s happening in the world. No matter how much it frustrates me. But to what end? So I can be really upset and angry over things I can’t possibly do anything about?
I don’t “go quietly” either. When I can write a letter/support a cause, I do, but the “people in charge” still do stupid shit.
Hubby and I don’t see eye-to-eye on a lot of issues either. He’s much more conservative than I. We actually had a big yelling match over PM Harper trying to reopen the gay marriage debate. Makes me wonder if paying attention is worth it.
There are a great deal of issues out there that I don’t believe should be issues. I’ve expressed before that I strongly support the separation of church and state. Take that a step further and I strongly feel that anything grounded in science should not be up for debate.
Here’s some examples:
Evolution. This is now a scientifically proven fact. Every thing else is religion.
Stem cells. These are embryonic and are harvested when the embryo is nothing but a little ball of cells. The life/soul issue is religion.
Abortion. In addition to being a fundamental human right, science tells us that a few weeks’ old fetus is not conscious, feeling, etc. To me, if you feel abortion is taking a life, then picking an apple is taking a life, because the apple feels and thinks about as much as a fetus at that stage. Again, the life/soul issue is religion.
Gay Marriage. This is a human right. “Gay” is not a choice or a disease. Not ‘allowing’ gay marriage is the same as not allowing black people to marry, or Chinese people, just because they’re different in some small way genetically. Every other argument is religion.
I have no problem with people expressing their faith. But don’t mix it with legislation.
And why the hell do people have such a problem with organ donation? You can easily save at least 9 or 10 lives by signing that card. Do you really need those parts after you’re dead? Are you going to know they’re missing somehow? Gimme a break. How could anyone not want to save lives?
I think I’d like a job in the Auditor General’s office. Exposing the rampant waste of taxpayer money would be fun. I really think so. It’d be like shaking your fist and yelling “You dumb fucks!!! What the hell do you think you’re doing!!!” and having someone actually listen.
I don’t remember the last time I was this glad its Friday. This week has been seriously hellish. And really friggin cold. Physically I feel like shit, I have no interest whatsoever in Xmas. I don’t want to decorate, I don’t want to shop, I don’t want to do anything. I think the next person that pisses me off is really going to regret it. Bummer that its usually my husband.
I’m supposed to visit a friend tonight. Friday nights are bad for me. She’s gathering some girlfriends to help her sort out some ‘man problems’. She wanted us to bring a list of good things about our hubbies.
**Nan, I love you dearly, and would be there in a flash if you needed me, but this is so out of my realm its just about in another universe. You have this deep spiritual thing about you now, and after all these years you gotta know I haven’t got a spiritual bone in my body. Despite all the years we’ve been friends, we’ve really turned out as two very different people. You and I don’t see eye-to-eye anymore on many things. Its not that there aren’t a 1000 great things I can say about my man, and he knows it, I’m just not the type to sit around with a gaggle of girls discussing them. The way that I see relationships isn’t going to help you.**
So I hope being a no-show doesn’t cause too much trouble. But tonight, I just want to hug my dog. Okay, and my hubby. And I’ll be watching the news. No matter how painful.
