I am not human.

1. The touch up on my tatt, which was free and I had done today, hurt worse than the first time. And I've just taken my bandage off to see it's already puffed up and gone red on me. I also bled more than I did last time. I really hope this doesn't mean it's going to take longer for it to heal this time. :/ Damn my body's slow healing.

2. Speaking of ouchies, I really wouldn't recommend touching the oven rack when it's on at 400 degrees. IJS. I WAS using a dishtowel to protect my hand, but apparently it wasn't entirely covered and I burnt a spot on my finger. Could have been A LOT worse, though. The kicker is, however, that I also put my hand down on a hot burner just a few days ago. Neither was a particularly bad burn, but this week Jennifer + Hot Things = Fail.

3. I had a third point when I started to type this, but it's gone away now. Um. Hey, I know a lot of my friends are going through shitty times right now. I <3 you all, and while I'm sure most of you has probably seen Maru and the Big Box, it might cheer you up anyway. I giggle every time.

I HAS A TATTOO!

My medical phobia kicked in just after starting and we took a break, and she was so totally nice. When we started again, I started to feel it again, but then she started talking to me and didn't stop, and I was perfectly fine after that. She was pretty awesome.

It hurt, but not too much. It honestly just felt a bit like she was slicing my skin with a razor. LOL And the tattoo only cost $50! I probably way over-tipped her ($20), but meh. She made my first tattoo better than it might have been (and I'd planned for it to cost more anyway). :)

My skin has an inky smell that I kinda like, and I already want another. *headdesk* But for now, I want a nap. :D

I sort of hate when comms I'm in get spotlighted. thrifthorror is pretty awesome, but it just exploded with activity after being spotlighted. Heh. My flist is crazy with horrid thrifting items, which is cool, but OMG SO MUCH. It does really make me want to go thrifting again, though. I haven't in years, but I fucking loved it. I went into every thrift store I could find when I happened upon them a few years back. I've found some really cool/crazy/weird stuff that I love, like an old ornate candle holder that used to hang on the walls of a church that had closed, old toys from when I was little (talking Pee-wee Herman doll, glow worm...), old 60's/70's beaded box purses, see/hear/speak no evil monkeys... I love stuff like that.

I used to collect shot glasses, though they're all gone now but one. The one I kept was just so bizarre, and I'm actually considering getting an altered version of it as a tattoo around my ankle. Of course, I have NO money for that (lol or any idea of what it might cost), but maybe one day.

I just took pics so you all can see the crazy awesomeness:

( good luck )

I'd take the man throwing, his "yelling", and the boot out, but keep the rest. The thing makes no sense, really (as far as I can tell--anybody know if this has any meaning beyond 'wtf'?), but it means something to me in my own way.

Anyway, as long as I'm posting pics, here's another. Just before I went to bed last night, I found one of our dogs snuggling the cat. It was so adorable that I had to get a shot of it.

( go ahead and die of teh cute )
