i lied

I'm super excited for Valentines now that I know I get to spend it with the love of my life (other than Izzy of course). He's got something planned and while I'm excited to see what it is, I'm horrible with surprises. I was the child that would sneak into the closet and carefully unwrap my presents to see what they were before wrapping them back as close to the way I found them as possible before Christmas came. I guess you could say I have impatient tendencies. At least I only have to wait one more day! I just wish my heart tights from tabio came in time. I know how girly can I get but come on, heart tights on Valentines? That would have been too good to pass up. I also got the dot ones that I've been wanting for months so I'm looking forward to warmer weather so I can break out the skirts and dresses already!

im not sorry there's nothing to say

I must be the only girl NOT looking forward to Valentines. Too bad I'm not even wanted to work that day. Ah well..I would much rather gorge myself on ice cream while watching a cheesy flick like anything Shirley Temple because lets face it, that little girl can put a smile on anyone's face.

my paint splattered puzzle piece

freshly done.

colors a bit off in this one. Can I just say how hard it is to take
a decent picture of the back of your own neck?

So I have had my new tattoo for a little over a week now. I can finally turn my head without being in pain which is great! Definitely took that little action for granted all my life. I am thrilled with my paint splattered puzzle piece. It hurt but it was worth it. He took my slightly bizarre concept and rolled with it, making it into something better than I envisioned in my own head. All the color (paint) is freehand. Oh and he wore pink gloves and played music that I imagined futuristic robots fighting/dancing to. Overall it was a good experience.

My reasoning behind the tattoo... it's inspired by my little brother. The paint colors are the autism colors (he has Asperger's syndrome which is a form of autism), I just added my own spin to it with the splatter effect. One of my fondest childhood memories is when my mom would roll out a large white paper on the kitchen floor and my little brother and I would "go at it" with paint..on the paper, the floor and ourselves. *Note to self..NEED to find that picture of us.

His reaction:

me- "Hey little brother, you like my new tattoo? It's for you."

him- "Well...I'm not really a tattoo person but if you are going to get one, that would be a good one."

Sucess.

missing you.

its been 3 days since we last cuddled.
