And beautiful. You forgot beautiful.

I did. When written properly, it's quite lovely.
I think the same of all written languages, though, when they're formed in an artistically / aesthetically appealing manner.

I would agree, if someone gets a kanji they saw on a tattoo parlor shop because it's "pretty" and "different", then I would agree.

Aw, Mavourneen, I didn't mean for my reply to imply that everyone who gets Chinese (or Japanese... or any foreign language, for that matter) does it for such shallow reasons....

You have an actual life experience to accompany your tattoo.

I'm talking about the other people. You can only imagine how many times I've seen 爱 tattooed on people... as if, yes, how clever, "love" means so much more when written in Chinese.

But not for this thread.

It's not exactly the same point, but you get something a bit similar with ogham. Each ogham symbol itself represents a letter of the Irish alphabet, but since it was the system of writing used by the druids theres also a tradition that each symbol represents a tree (mostly from the Celtic tree calendar - the romans had bulls and water carriers and twins, we had trees) and since trees have a long tradition in Irish folklore, mythology and druidic ritual it means that each symbol becomes imbued with meaning. So the letter "u" becomes "Ur" which is heather, which implies healing and renewal and I've just realised I'm quite possibly boring anyone who isn't me to tears.

Sorry guys. I read way too much. Babbling like a moonbrain is one of the symptoms.

It's a wonderful day. Warm enough for me to wear flip flops but coll enough so I don't burn to a crisp. I love spring.

En el otro lado es donde vivi,
con mi hijita, que se llama mixie,
y su hermana, si me quiere,
y horita, tenemos un bebe,

Sus padres sus tios me trataron matar
but they did not get too far
un poco despues tuve que regresar
con un chingo de dinero cause you know im a star

me fui a costa rica
para tomar y sufear
placticaba con la rasa
cause they know who we are

Si no me dio cuenta
then i bet you never will
you must be a muneca
if your still standing still

and it went - uhh
and the girl caress me down- uhh
and thats that lovin sound- it went uhh
and the girl caress me down- uhh
and thats that lovin sound

Me gusta mi reggae,
Me gusta punk rock,
Pero la cosa que me gusta mas es panochita,
Ponga la nalga en la aire if you know who you are,
Ponga la nalga en la aire y empieza gritar,

No tenga miedo, Im your papi,
take your chones, y los manden a mi,
levanta, levanta, tienes que gritar,
levanta, levanta, tienes que bailar.

Morning all. I found that Altoids..MMM GOOD

Allow me to rant on assholes for a sec:

I work at a lawfirm. There is this case in one of the remote sections of the city (Queens) and i have a deposition (testimony for a trial) we reprisent Plantiffs and there are two defendets going. It was supposed to Start at 10 am. This one attorny call at 10:18. My attorny is late. He tells me he will start without us(we are supposed to questiom-i ordered the reporter so its on our bill) so i get his # and i call my attorny. The trains that go out there have stopped running. So i call the attorny back-he doesn't answer,but i leave a messege

New stratgey- I call the Reporting agency and tell them to have her stop typing- the nice girl from the agency says ok..She puts me on hold to get this guy on the phone. He goes WILD ON HER. (This guy is supposed to be proffesional)I call him to see what the hell and this is the interchange

Me: Hello sir. We have an attorny on his way

Him: Hello (sweetly) My name is *bleep* Thank you for your consent

Me: What consent??

Him: Interupting * Have a nice day* click

I call the reporting agency back and she tells me he has disconnected the phone and locked the door.

Have a deal with MisterG that I'm getting a firefly tat in October:) well it's the red/orange circle with the serenity symbol in it.I'm trying to talk him into getting the same one. I like tattoos with connection:)

Well as long as MrG isn't planning on using the Serenity logo as a bullseye I guess I'm ok with...wait no I'm not. I still think tattoos are dumb. And how are you going to feel when Joss loses his mind George Lucas style and Serenity Episode I comes out? There will be a goofy CGI reaver that joins teenage Mal on a slap stick adventure where he falls for princess Hillary Duff. Right about then laser removal is going to sound pretty sweet.

Well, as you are distinctly in the minority here with your non-tattooed body, I think the correct phrase you should have used is : "I still think a tattoo is not for me."

Humans have been tattooing themselves for several thousand years. If it ain't for you, no problem. But if it is for someone else, you should respect that, too.

I'm pretty sure I still think it's dumb. I respect lots of people who do dumb things though. I think drinking is dumb. I'm fairly sure that the majority of people do that as well. I don't try to get people to stop doing dumb things. That's not my job. Though I am still going to think they're doing something dumb.

OK now back to work for me and I'll probably fall too far behind to post again today

That's how I do it too. I always try to get back up to date with at least a days worth of posts before I post anything.

Cuz.

Seriously though it's a fairly permanent disfigurement and in my experience so far there's nothing in my life that has been permanent. I'm fairly certain at some point I'd either be lying to myself that it was a good idea or I'd be regretting whatever I got. Even more importantly bare skin is hot. Especially female bare skin

With a tattoo it just adds a big old flaw to something that would otherwise be all sexy.

Yes. I mean no. Well, maybe. Settle for "depends"?

Regardless of ink skin is hot. I like that there is someone around who can show the side of permanancy and its backlash. Especially with the folks who only understand tats from a mainstream perspective. People watch a few episodes of Miami Ink and expect to learn everything from a freakin' TV show. Knowing guys who came up from nothing and walked straight outta hell for the art I deplore the thought of so many people getting cut. And nothing makes me sicker than people who open shops and expect artists to line up and teach them just because they own a shop.

ARRRGGHHH!!! All fired up.
But a good fired up. Thanks Zeek for the view of logic that many lack these days.

Also, I never exactly knew what a glomp was. Seems I may need to give a few (preferably IRL).

Thursday, April 5, 2007 5:43 PM

I gotta agree with Zeek on tattoos -- but I would never try to convince anyone else on my point of view. I just know that I'm fickle and can't imagine any image I would want on my body permanently. But that's why I like makeup, hair color, crazy haircuts, henna tattoos, and piercings. Anything that I can easily change my mind on later and/or will reverse itself naturally eventually. If there was a type of tattoo that lasted 1 to 10 years (like how henna only lasts a couple of months), I might consider that.

I have friends with tattoos and none of them have regretted them so far. My husband got one when he was 18, and when we got together 10 years later, he was starting to regret it (I actually kinda like his tattoo, hehe). I don't know anyone over the age of 40 with a tattoo though, so I'm not sure how people start feeling about them after multiple decades.

I really really haven't seen any that I actually think look better than just bare skin but you can try. There is actually one thing that I would list on the positive side for tattoos that I didn't mention cause it obviously doesn't help my case. But a tattoo that no one sees except your SO cause it's in a normally hidden area does sorta make it something special and cool. Though I think I'd still be extremely anti-tattoo for any SO.

EDIT: oh oh oh this brings up what they were talking about on the radio today. Would you be upset to the point of breaking up if you started going out with someone and things progressed enough in the bedroom to the point where you found out they wore some sort of appearance altering stuff. I.E. padded bra or like a girdle or something. The guys were saying it's false advertising and the women were defending it. Until the guys asked what they'd do if they dated a dude who wore a girdle or some sort of fake muscles. They said they'd dump the guy immediately.

HUGS NV- Ok but I wanna know what happened so email me and tell me what's going on with She ( use the oncemorewithfeeling321@yahoo.com as I am home for the weekend) And I'm sorry about spring break and the crazy teen rites of spring you are now forced to endure...I really really think they need to make a water softener for drinking fountains that puts tranquilizers into the water in low doses for use in sites where teens gather...

Hey rugbug and SBDB...good to see you both if ever so briefly

HUGS Mav in absentia...

OK then you;d like my tats Zeek as they are tiny and only viewable by SO...it's why I want to get one together as a sense of connectedness.

My stupid eye exam took 3 hours...I hate not being normal. They decided to do a field of vision test which takes 30 for normal people and longer for those of us with ADD since it's a really really really hard test if you have ADD...Oh well mostly all is well and my vision hasn't gotten worse ( not that it's really got anywhere but blind to go) Normal vision is 20/20 my vision is 20/1000 legally blind is 20/250 Luckily my eyes are still correctable through contacts( for the most part) and I'm 20/40 when I wear them:)

Hey Zeek, you're not alone. I also find tattoos to be dumb, as you so elegantly put it. Actually, a more accurate statement is that I can't understand their allure to some people. Why someone would want to mar their natural beauty with (what is to me)an ugly mark is beyond my comprehension. It doesn't matter how artistically it is made or how beautiful I would have found the design if it were on any other type of media, but put it on skin and the aestetic that appealed to me is instantly gone. I've never understood it and I doubt I ever will.

But that's me. I'm sure there are people out there that are as turned on by tattoos as I am turned off by them and that's perfectly fine as long as ya'll don't expect me to have the same reaction.

I'm a leaf on the wind

As for tattoos: I'm not against them, sometimes they can look really good. But I'd never get one. Too much of a wuss.

Ah, the difference 24 hours and a few emails makes...better now. Sorry for the attempt at a tantrum, everyone. I stayed up late last night, thinking of a plot so diabolical it would put msg to shame...and surprisingly, it made me feel better.

This morning's drive to daycare song was supposed to be Korn's live version of "Freak on a Leash" with Amy Lee...but Carson was not amused and demanded a song change (MOM! THIS IS BORING!) so we listened to his favorite Bob Marley song "Is This Love" - My little Rasta Child!

Good morning folks. Sems I was to have today off but that got mussed up due to the lack of grocery shopping and a tech that needed to be regulated today. I'm off to buy our kids' food then to lunch with "She". I'm hoping to drop in before the early start to my three day weekend. If I miss the chance then I might be in for a bit Monday, (get to prep payroll on my holiday). Hope the day treats everyone great.

Urk, I am quite sleepy too. Hubby kept me up almost to 2am with a Karazhon run (WoW talk, hehe), and then I woke up this morning to find the sky completely overcast. We have a big window and a skylight in our bedroom, so on sunny days that helps get me up, but on cloudy days I just want to go back to sleep.

Also, I've done some reading recently on Vitamin D, and I'm finding that many of the health issues I'm struggling with are linked to Vitamin D deficiency -- specifically autoimmune diseases and unexplained joint pain. So I've been trying to spend a bit of time outside in the sunshine every day, except that it's been cloudy for the past 10 days! All the progress I've made towards feeling better with the warm weather in March is being undone! I demand sunshine now!

So yeah, feeling pretty crappy today. I *always* feel better during the summer, and I've figured out four reasons why that is:
1. Spending more time out side, so I get more Vitamin D.
2. Not cold and flu season (if I catch something that triggers my immune system, I'm in bad shape for the next 4 - 6 months).
3. Swimming is the exercise my joints seem to tolerate the best, and since I only have access to outdoor pools, I only swim during the summer.
4. My feet are *always* cold, but when it's warm out I don't notice my feet being cooler so much.

Bah. Clouds. Go. Away. NOW!

And all that? Also the reason they don't want my blood. Or they don't want it for other people, anyway. They seem to like taking mass amounts (as much as 10 tubes in one sitting once!) just so they can tell me that the tests were inconclusive. Bah.

I need coffee. With lots of sugar. Back soon.

OK we need something to imponder.

How about this one? For the single pet people out there, what if you met mr/mrs right except they were extremely allergic to your pet? Would you give up your pet?

I don't think I could do it. I'm coming up on 2 years now with my kitty and she's just the sweetest little thing. Having her energetically jumping up on the bed the second I wake up every morning is just a great way to start the day. I know waking up next to Mrs. Right would probably be pretty great too, but I just don't know if I could willingly give up my kitty.

MAVOURNEEN

Friday, April 6, 2007 6:23 PM

I'm not single...but that's what Zyrtec was invented for. Seriously.

If I were seriously allergic to my loved one's pet, I would not ask him to give that pet up. I would work on finding an allergy med that controlled my symptoms.

Having a mate has so profoundly changed my life in so many ways, that looking back on my life pre-Husband...I know I would do everything in my power to live with allergies AND that which makes my mate happy (his pet)

------------------------------------------------

CALIFORNIAKAYLEE

Friday, April 6, 2007 6:23 PM

Lol, I actually did give up my pet!

To be fair, I'd only had him (a black kitty named Jade) for a couple of months, and got him after the hubby and I started dating. It was my first apartment all by myself, and after growing up with 7 other people and a variety of dogs in the house, an apartment was awfully quiet. But he didn't like hubby much (Jade had had a single female owner his whole life before coming to live with me), and hubby is allergic to pet dander.

So a few months before we moved in together, we went away for a weekend (to an SCA event that ended up being terrible!) and I asked my family to take care of Jade for me. Five years later, he still lives with them, lol. He's a *much* nicer cat now that he's been socialized a bit better, and I still get to see him anytime I'm out in Austin. He does seem rather insulted to have to live with three dogs and three sugar gliders, none of which he's allowed to bite (my sister's goldfish wasn't so lucky, hehe).

I've informed hubby that I'm going to want a dog eventually, probably after my 30th birthday. If we aren't going to have kids I'm gunna need something!

Ah, morning to yall fine imponderables... no teen drama for once, just popping in to say hi and to avoid doing my homework for twenty minutes. Lots to do and less time to do it in...

On the subject of blood giving... My school has blood drives from the people over at Stanford, and so I started donating last year.... it's an interesting thing, being crazy lightheaded, and being altruistic, and also people treat you nice for the rest of the day. Fun stuff. I even went down to stanford last summer to donate.

Unfortunately I had this pretty nasty sore throat last tuesday when the blood drive was on, so I lost my chance to donate. Quite bummed about that. I was thinking "eh, it's just a sore throat, what do they care, blood's still good"..... and then of course in bold print on the form DO NOT HAVE A SORE THROAT, FLU, OR COLD!

Oh well.

In other news, going to Thespian Festival again this year, that's next week, and I will once again wear my jayne hat all three days. it's pretty awesome.... and here's a little something, last year I wore my hat the whole time, and someone was taking pictures... i ended up on their site.

http://www.cetoweb.org/cst_pages/events_info_reg.html

take a look, the pictures in the top section, you may recognize a certain orange piece o' headgear...

anyhoo, i still need to memorize my monologue for festival and such, so i'm not going to do so well, but i'm not really interested in competing: AP Classes and college stuff and Godspell overshadowed it, and i dont mind that.

And here's my random awkward joke of the weekend.... we did Act 2 of Godspell yesterday for rehearsal. Which means we killed Jesus. On Good Friday. We all had a hearty chuckle. (but dont get me wrong, whenever we run act 2, people cry. it's a really sad scene, we take it seriously.)

Just wanted to pop in and say that I love you all heaps and I am not disappearing off the face of the planet - I am without regular internet access and that sucks - especially at this time of needing lots of 'friend therapy' as Rose calls it - *sighs* oh well...

As they say in my son's kindergarden...

"Alive, Alert, Awake, Ethusiastic!"

Morning, VE! I'm here, as promised (see above). I do think it will be a quiet day as so many have one last day off.

I had some good news over the weekend. I sold my truck Dora to a family who just got here from Honduras. He's a mechanic, so with $400 worth of parts and $1000 worth of his own elbow grease, he should get Dora back up to spiffy in no time. I am happy I helped a family in need, Dora got a good home, I got the $$ I was looking for, and Carson was happy his favorite truck wouldn't be sold for parts. Everyone won.

It snowed here Saturday morning making for a cold Easter Egg hunt at my father-in-law's church sponsored event. (It melted fairly quickly.) We had fun, and Carson got to see his beloved cousin Hannah (see pic from previous thread where she's peeking behind him holding Mouse Trap.) Hannah has that now that she & Carson are 6, they are getting married. Carson is not amused!

It was a slow weekend here at the store, so I'll be around.
