PICS
Last night James and I drove to Waterville after he practiced. His family has a big reunion type vacation there.. and they are there for a week. So we drove there, hung out all night, and in the morning drove around the lake in a paddle boat. My last paddleboat experience was bad, due to the fact that only one side of the paddling would work.. we didnt know and it happened to be my side. doing it yourself is hard! ha.. Anyway, This time it was a lot of fun.. and It was really pretty. I guess there was a bear around, but we didn't see him.
After the paddling, we drove home. I had a hair appointment and I was supposed to tattoo russle after, but he has a vaca next week and didnt want to stay out of the sun or water. Who can blame him!? So we did my hair and it came out super pretty. I don't really have any good back photos, because i can't reach well, but i have a front veiw with the netting. So Thats another thing marked off my list of To Do. Whew.

Yesterday was my mother's wedding. One down, one to go.
This has been the most busy year of my life.. and Im getting really excited for some of it to settle down. Oh! to know what a free weekend is again, I'd love that. It seems like every weekend is jammed full of events. Each holdiay calls for like 20 seperate celebrations and each weekend is someone's birthday. Its very frustrating. So... My mom's wedding is over.
It was very stressfull when i went to try on the dress. The seamstress had me fitted... and I wore one of those strapless bras that go down to your waist. I already had it.. and its thick... but I figured its strapless and Ill be cold so the padding will be welcome. So I was fitted with the bra.. which is like an xtra inch to my body. So when I went to try on the dress after I got it.. and It wouldn't zip up with the bra on, I was decidedly upset. The only way it would fit, was with no bra. So I had to buy that magic titty tape. so it looks like im wearing a bra, but Im not. So Even with no bra, the dress was cutting into my chest. Bummer. But yeah, other than that.. it was all pretty perfect. There were a lot of people, good food, vegan cake, and dave had all sorts of entertainment planned.. like irish step dancers. I thought it was fun. Anyway.. now its day after.. and james and I have another family engagment. So we have to drive two hours north, then tomorrow drive back so i can have a hair and tattoo appointment. sheesh.
then tuesday i have a cpr class..
today it would be nice if i could clean up my house.. but i feel totally dead and worn out. blah..

So.. the other day it occured to me that my kitty is a nudist. It took me 3 years to realize.. but lately I just can't ignore the signs.
- Kitty insists upon trying to sit upon my lap whilst i am peeing.
- Kitty has never once tried to sit upon my lap during any other occasion.
- Kitty insists upon being picked up when I am fresh out of the shower.
- Kitty does not like to be held when I'm not fresh out of the shower.
- Kitty does not like to be held when I am fresh out of the shower but have put on my shirt already.
- Kitty barfed on my brand new pants last night. I think she hates all pants.
- She likes to rub and lick bare legs.
That pretty much leads me to believe that shes a nudist. Who disagrees?
Although.. she likes shoes.. hmm...
my brother's baby was born.
I was soo stressed. tons of wierd issues with the childbirth.. but it worked out. Im stoked. I love other people's babies. And i can give them over when im bored with them ha!
yeah so i am really relieved and happy and no longer stressed about that. i am very stressed about other stuffs. also.. just bought some shit online and went to move moneys around in the bank and my bank is offline now. fuckers. if i get an overdraft fee because they went offline, im gonna be pissed.

so, I'm just gonna toss a few photos up.
This is my kitty and I. Pretty much my cat is hilarious. She follows me around like a dog and yells at me to pet her. She thinks bathroom time for me is petting time for her. If i lock her out she screams at me to let her in. I often wake up at night to find her fury little body fitted to the curve in mine. Cutest cat ever.
That's my boy. He had just got his hair did He needed it cut shorter though, cus that pompador is too huge. So its not that big anymore.
yesterday nattie, James and I bought a kite. Then we flew it around. James insited it be the alien because it was so funny. here, you clearly see how proud the boys are. haha.
after the kite flying, we walked around a lot and climbed up the old bridge. This is just James and I.
Heres 3 photos of tattoos Ive done recently. Love color.
The birdy foot was really fun, but i worry that it wont heal since feet are so hard to care for.
The birdy was a sad story.. he had a house fire and all his pets died. So this one was pretty awesome for him.
And the orchids were really time consuming and slow going, but i think they came out great. I love the purple ink i have, because it looks so sweet. I don't even like purple normally. ha.
This week I have a few tattoos to do including a really rad baboon head and some tulips. So yeah.
Tonight I came into work to work on this halfie sleeve. Hannah is really awesome and has beautiful skin, so this works out well. Pretty much this is rough. Just the outlines and the basic shading. Bare bones. When I'm doing next is darkening a few spots.. and blending the background in with a little muted dark green. Nothing bright. The Angler fish will be done in shades of black and grey with the same muted green highlights in a few spots. A touch of white for glisten on the fish wrinkles. And lastly... I'm going to take the brightest green possible and all those little baubles in the background and the angler fish glowys will be that color. So all muted darks.. with just vibrant green. It will look good, i promise, don't doubt. ha. But yeah. Bare bones, this is what I'm doing now.
this is my face with lipstick.

so, im reading this book right now.. and its a total bummer. I never hate books.. but this book, its really kinda lame. I forget who the author is, its a woman. But the writing is kinda dark in a degrading to women kinda way. All sorts of fucked up shit happens. Its just a bummer. Im not into it.
So I checked out the new sets and there is one where a girl is rubbing raw meat all over her self. Kinda yetch. And I noticed a person commented something like " this set is sure to piss off the vegans" and It also bummed me out. Pissing us off and disgusting us is totally different. I realize that some people aren't veggie and they never will. Im not trying to preach. But you have to compare meat to things in your life that bum you out. Like poop. I use that one a lot. Poop is gross, you'd never want to eat it. and if it touched your food, you wouldn't eat it. Same with meat for me. So invision her rubbing your smelliest turd on her vag. That feeling of disgust? thats how I felt. So ITs not like im pissed, I dont care. Let he do whatever she wants, but it's gonna gross me out. And you can't blame me.. or anyone else. There are gonna be people who are disgusted by or dislike plenty of sets on here. Honestly, the chocolate syrup grosses me out almost as much ahaha.
Anyway.. James is playing some zelda. and Nattie is over. so we might go to portland. xo

Today was James' birthday. He didnt get the day off of work, so i worked too. Kinda dull day. With exception to the massive thunderstorms. Other than that... not sure how stoked he was. But hey. We had a party for him on sunday and tons of his family came. He's buying some sweet tape machine for recording and he seems pretty happy. Also, I bought him a Wii. He was stoked on that. We played some games and then the next day we kept tryign to think of why our arms hurt. We're pretty sure its from playing Wii tennis a bunch. Or the baseball. I dunno.. but we were kinda swinging hard.. and theres nothign really there. So I guess it kinda makes your arm sore ha.. Lame huh?
So i ordered these necklaces from "walk on the moon" jewlery. And they are fuckign awesome. Im so stoked on them. I ought to put up pictures.
So its was like 85 degrees here yesterday and I was thrilled. I love hot weather. Seriously. I like to put on 10 lbs of sunblock and absorb all the heat. Anyoen who knows me knows Im codl all fo the time.. so summer is awesome.
I have to work on a bunch of street team stuff for my shop today. sheesh.

ugh.
I'm in a totally grumpy mood. I was in a great mood earlier.
But I guess it's been going downhill. My caterer cashed my 1000$ check and then emailed to inform me i never mailed it. I swear I'm cursed. So I had to email her back images of the checks cashed into her account. sheesh.
Then, I put up blogs in random myspace groups.. and one group was like tattoos on New England women or some shit. And I put up a blog saying that Im a female tattoo artist and to check out my work. Then I put up a few sentences about how we're looking for people to be on our street team and hand out fliers and business cards. And that I'll trade work time (tattoo time for it). And the girl who owns the group wrote me a very rude and degrading message saying pretty much that she said no advertisements and that I was annoying and that I should learn to read. So I'm pissed. #1 it wasn't an advertisement. Advertisements are meant to sell. I'm looking for people to give out fucking fliers. #2 Tattooing isn't some nonprofit organization. So every single person who posts a photo, who says the name of the shop they got work done, that's all promotion. So if I'm not allowed to say that Im a female tattooist and I want people to get free tattoos, then it ought to state that there's to be no promotion at all and that you cant post the names or shops you've gotten work. Makes no sense. But mostly I'm just pissed that someone insulted me and pretty much called me stupid. All she had to say is, "hey man, I think your post was too close to advertisement so I'm gonna delete it, sorry." Or nothing at all because I wouldn't have noticed. But she gets off on trying to act like she's better than someone. Ugh. People are pathetic.
So I wrote her a very rude message explaining advertisement, promotion and tattooing as a business.
Also... Don't you think its really weird to insult someone that lives very near to you? If I was a crazy person I could drive over to her city and kick her ass. I just don't think people realize that myspace isn't some little safe world where you can insult people or put up all your personal information. People get arrested because they put up their graffiti on myspace. Girls get stalked for their myspace info, Kids get grounded for putting up photos of their parties, and now people are getting jobs denied because of it. And yet people keep putting up info and photos.
