I have been so busy!!! First of all.....this will be my hell for the next nine days



I have to memorize 450 animals by their common name, scientific name, family, class and order. My final exam is on December 7th. Wish me luck!

On a happier note it was my birthday on monday I forgot my camera and didn't get many pictures



I am 24, hear me roar!

Some friends took me out for sushi and drinks











It was a small and quiet birthday. Soon after dinner we went out dancing

Back to a depressing note now Two days after my birthday the barn owl I worked with at the zoo passed away.



She was 16 years old which is impressive but not uncommon for barn owls in captivity. I think on record the longest to live was 20 years old. Barn owls usual live up to five years of age in the wild because of predators and accidents.

My tattoo artist wanted to give me a tattoo for my birthday so we came up with something for her. I've wanted to get a barn owl tattoo so it seemed appropriate.


This was the art that inspired me to get a barn owl tattoo.


Danny doing his thing Believe it or not, I was studying my flash cards with my friend.




And there she is the finished product

I'm really happy with how it turned out and how Danny helped me to make it personal and my own. She was a majestic spirit so I wanted the blue stars to help show case that. She will be very much missed. But I know she lived a good life and is now in a better place.



RIP sweet lady.
