Well goodness..

I'm a bit dramatic. It was just the group, really. I was at 4k and we were talking about what is emo, what's not, etc and someone linked a flickr group about self mutiliation. We usually tag that kind of stuff NSFW (not safe for work) so people know they're opening up something...sexual or gory..or just generally not safe to open at work/around children. But it wasn't tagged and I unwittingly opened the link and got caught up in this girl's photostream. It was rather heavy, hard to take in and I was angry because I saw someone commented on her..cuts...that she was "beautiful and brave" and they knew how much it hurts. Seemed like glorifying it..counterproductive. I don't know, anyway. I don't feel crazy alone. But I bet that girl does.

And I really do think there is more good than bad in the world.


Drunk blogging=fail.

So, I'm in the middle of INDECISION. I really, really want this tattoo that I practically designed myself. I found the right artist and he loves it and wants to do it but it's soooo extremely hard for me to justify spending $300 so someone can draw on my body. I know that the artist deserves it because it's a lot of work, it's just hard finding a real reason to spend so much money. For me. I usually only buy stuff because I need it, you know?

It's gorgeous though and significant. I have to decide by Monday because if it's a go, I want to get it done on Tuesday, inauguration day.

Sooooooooo excited about Tuesday.
