arbitraria

so thursday has come and gone, meaning...i got my new ink, yay!!! i have a pretty high pain threshold and it really wasn't as bad as i thought it would be, i just felt bad for my artist as i have a medication-related twitching issue and i kind of move more than i can help. sigh. it looks absolutely awesome though, came out even better than i thought it would and i had high expectations anyway. thanks to jae connor at electric lotus tattoo for rocking out hardcore. i'll put up a better close-up photo once it's done peeling, as it looks a wee bit gross at present, but for now...

here's a mildly shitty camera-phone pic right after it was done:


here's an overall i took today just to better see location, and my gut:


to further illustrate the over-abundance of meaning i insert into everything, it's to symbolize my infinite struggle with night and day (i have delayed sleep phase syndrome, my clock is set way off from everyone else's, so basically i'm a night owl and i can't do much of anything to change it). i like that when anyone else looks at it day comes first, then night, but when i look down at it, i see the night first, then the day. i'm a retard. ha.

not too much else going on at the moment...went out thursday night for some drinkies with zoomusikgrl and JustBlaze, then to white castle to feed the drunk munchies. they introduced me to the fact that clifton does actually have more than just a stadium i've done drum corps shows at for 10 years. after that, it was off to staten island for me to cat-sit for my friend who's out in reno for a wedding. friday night i was ultra-cool and drank by myself while making "props" for zoomusikgrl and i. can't wait for that shoot...back to jersey for mom's birthday yesterday, and then back to s.i. last night. where i currently sit.

i need to stop fucking around online so i can get some reading done for school already, so i shall cease my incessant rambling. love and llamas to all!
