To die will be an awfully big adventure...

 Well, let's see...what to say, what to say?

oh yeah:

I JUST GOT MY FIRST TATTOO!!!!! AHHHH!!!!! It's 4 lines of "A Soldier's Song" (Amhran na BhFiann)...on my upper right arm...as a band

As soon as it heals I'm getting 'Never Clip My Wings' on my lower left arm as a band....after that a Sparrow for Bobby Sands (Rest in Pieces, Tiocfaidh ar la!). With the quote by T. Williams: A prayer for the wild at heart, Kept in cages. After that it's Aristotle's: To Die Will be an Awfully Big Adventure.....I just don't know where to put that....Wanna see pictures of the first one?!

Here it is getting done....Vinny's filling it in...you can see his amazing artwork on the wall behind me

And here it is the next morning...with my cleavage, hahahah.

It doesn't and didn't hurt and i think everyone on earth should have at least one tattoo...it's one of those really amazing life expierences.

Other than that....still at St. Thomas, majoring in Communications (specifically PR). I have no idea what I want to do with my life, but I know that I don't want to work for a corporation. I need my freedom and I'm only just realizing what it does to me when I don't have it...especially when someone takes it from me *coughawfulexboyfriendbobbycough*.

Going to Ireland at Christmas to celebrate Irish style with Jo and her family. Maybe I'll find a super shmexy Irishman who also just happens to be brillant and funny. hahahaha

....

I am so tired of Harry Potter.

If I hear one more thing about that stupid series, I'm going to vomit.

Yes, I read all of the books. Yes, I understand that it's good for kids because they're starting to read again.

There is such a thing as overkill.

I am tired of Harry Potter.

Ooo, my my, where has the time gone....

I figured that since Chuan was blogging on her site....maybe I should resurrect mine?....anyway, lots has happened, as it always does when one wanders away from the internet.

--Dropped my old circle of friends. I can do that because I'm awesome, hahaha. Well, it didn't quite happen that easily. I found out that all of them were talking shit on me behind my back, so after giving them some food for thought, I stopped talking to them. This was in....early december I believe.

--I painted my room!!! I love it!! It's this beautiful dark purple, and I adore it. I'm only sorry that I only have a year with it before I move to Austin. But it taught me a valuable lesson: no matter how much time you THINK passes on HGTV, it's a lie. You cannot basecoat and paint a room in less than 2 days....at least when you do it by yourself you can't.

--I was kind of worried for a little because I didn't know what I would do without my old circle of friends and finally I was like, "ya know, screw it. I'm prefectly fine being independent and only having a few friends". Hehe, then I met the Aquilas! I love them so much!!! There's 13 of them....but I only like 12 of them because the oldest son scares me because he doesn't look at me. I spend pretty much every waking hour of my day with at least one of them, hahaha. It's really nice being with them.....they've kind of made me open up. I've been really closed off and angry for about....2 years or so now, and I didn't even realize it. But I feel so happy and relaxed with them. They've also taught me how nice it is to cuddle!!!! Now I love to be around people and touch people...it's so nice. It's also really nice to hear "I love you" every day from someone that isn't your mom, hahahahaha. I love them.

--I've taken up Swing Dancing! mostly because of the Aquilas...before I was just a salsa dancer....but now I can Swing dance....kind of, hahaha. I'm not half bad! hahahaha...I'm not nearly as good as Dominick or Catherine or Liz, but I'm not bad.

--I've started going to Mass or attending Rosary in the mornings. I go to Holy Hour every wednesday (until 24 hour Adoration is over anyway). It's very peaceful. No, I don't plan on converting to Catholocism anytime soon (unless I get the sign from God that I asked for)......and I still don't know how I feel about any one religion. But I can't deny or ignore that something happens inside of me when I pray/sit quietly and think.

--I work out every chance that i get because I'm tired of being a cow. Hahaha. I also dance every chance I get (yes, even in line) hahaha.

--I'm taking Arabic. It's hard....but I speak it well.

--I think I might be a genius.

hmmm.......I think that's all....

Oh yeah....I chopped off all my hair:

it went from this:

To this:

A question for you

What is the significance of touching knees? Like...why do guys refuse to (apparently it makes you gay), rather I'm asking what makes it seems gay, and what does it mean when a couple touches knees? Is this a big step? What does it mean?

No, it's not applicable to anything I'm involved with, I was just watching tv and they mentioned something about it. So I'm curious what that means.

Thanks, loves!

So, I go in tomorrow for my first fitting on my gown. It was a $250 prom dress that I got a few years ago, but never bothered to wear. I got it from the thrift store for $23 and it was just too good of a deal to pass up. It's black satin with a red petticoat, very simple, and rather short when I have heels on. Sooo....I got a couple of yards of black Dupioni (sp?) silk and a couple of yards of black embroidered silk organza. I'm having a train put on it, and about a foot of length added all the way around the skirt. I'm so excited!!!!

However, if you're reading this, I need your help. Since the dress is completely black, i can do whatever I want to my make up. I want to do something really over the top and decorative, since it's masquerade. If you have any suggestions, PLEASE!!! let me know.
