Ink

So, you may or may not know that I have tattoos.  Two of them to be exact.  And seven piercings, all in my ears.  I had eight but one never healed properly so I let it close up.  I want one of my targus pierced but am hesitant to do it, especially in Japan.  The hygiene standards are high here and it's going to be pricey whereever I go (but at least there's only 5% tax in Japan and you don't tip) but Amanda's had some problems with hers.  Which is more likely her own fault for not caring for it properly than the fault of the piercer but still.  

Piercings don't appeal to me much anymore... or I wonder if they ever really did.  I don't have any desire to get any other part of my body done, though I have had fleeting thoughts about a navel ring, but the aftercare puts me off.  It's the least painful place to get it done I've heard, it's just skin, but also the most likely for infection afterwards.  And I'm not that slim so no one would ever see it.  Not that anyone sees my tattoos either.   Piercings hurt like a beast for weeks -- possibly up to a year -- but tattoos really only hurt during.  Afterwards, it's just tender and itchy when it's healing.  And they are addictive...  when I get back to Canada, I will get another cherry blossom on my shoulder as rememberence of my time in Japan. 

 

I wanted to get my zodiac on the back of my neck -- a kind of hybrid cross between pisces and aquarius because my birthday is on the cusp but I never got it done.  I also want script somewhere in a crisp gothic style but I don't know what I want it to say or where I would put it.  I saw the trailer for... I don't know the name of it but Angelina's new movie and there's a scene where you see her bare back and all her tattoos and it got me thinking.  I have coloured ones but plain black just looks so classy... Even if they aren't the same style or theme, they fit together when they are black. 

Mission accomplished

I found new bras today. :D  The girls are very happy and so is my wallet. :3  Three bras for 45$ that fit pretty damn well.  I thought I might have to order online from somewhere but I really dreaded that idea because mom taught me never to buy anything unless you can try it on.  What a smart lady.  Hopefully these last a while.  But now I know where I can find them so I don't have to worry so much.  The next thing on the list now of things that are wearing out and need replacing soon are jeans...  I should go back to the same place and try on some of the "large size" stuff.  It won't be as stylish or whatever but if it fits, that's what counts.  Maybe after payday.  I don't want to wait until these give out.

I finally got around to organizing my desktop and videos... and caught up with Maou and watched Koizora (omg so sad...but I didn't cry).  I have Himitsu to watch and KCE World Series. :D  It's almost midnight... I am debating about trying to sleep and get my cycle back on some kind of normal time or watch or play more Zelda.  I'm hunting and powering up and getting all the bits I missed before starting to do the final bosses.  It seems so short suddenly but it can't be as long as a console game -- there's not enough space!  Anyway... so much procrastination, so little time.

I've got like 3 fic ideas bouncing around my head at the moment (two for challenges so you can't read those yet) as well as Equilibrium which I haven't thought about since I posted the last chapter (true to form).  I have that planned out so I don't need to worry so much.  I looked at my outline and it turns out it'll probably be 12 chapters in the end.  That makes me feel a bit more at ease -- I'm on the home stretch!
