More ink today. A nice short session, just an hour getting the pumpkins (down, silicondreams) coloured in. Give it a couple of weeks and I'll get the ones on my right arm done, then one more session getting the stuff on the left all tied together and then that's me set for the summer, I think. Time to save up till the autumn! ( Cut for ramblings and musing. )

Mmm. A little lie down is in order now, I feel. Catch you later...

OMG I am crabby today. I didn't realise how crabby I was until I was reading a thread on RF and it made me scream out loud.

Step away from the computer...

Bah.

In other news, more ink tomorrow! Hurrah!

(PS: I may also be crabby because there's a string of people I've sent e-mails to that have never bothered to reply. To those people - none of whom are on my flist, I might add - here's a big FUCK YOU. *Grrrr*)

( Pumpkins under here! )( And in other news... )

Results tomorrow. *Trembles*

Yup, that's me.

Although it's nice to be actually having a lazy morning, instead of comatose-feeling-like-shit passed out morning. So I'm drinking tea, listening to the Apo tracks I've downloaded and being...well, lazy.

Things to do today:

Muck ferrets out.

Go see Chris and beg for an apprenticeship.

Draw. (I'm in a creative mood)

Shout at file sharing software until it gives in and goes and gets me the music I want.

OK, that last is me being - heh - lazy. I'll confess, the main reason I like to download music is to see if I like a band, then I can go get their albums knowing I'm not going to put them on and think, crap, whatever possessed me to buy this? And in case you're looking at this going WTF? Where has she been for the last gazillion years the answer is - obeying my dear husband's unilateral edict that Thou Shalt Not Install File Sharing Software.

Bollocks.

So I asked arrys_girlie which one she used (I would have used WinMX but the firewall blocked it and I didn't dare ask how to free it up - had I asked somebody else and fiddled with the firewall settings His Nibs would have gone ballistic) and gave it a whirl. Presto, success!

So I'm having quite the ball chasing down stuff I've been meaning to get, although it seems that I only ever seem to get about 50% of the files I select. But then, I'm selecting hundreds of the buggers so no biggie, really.

Does mean I now have a huge list of albums to get. *Snort* Ah well.

Tattoo is as sore as a very sore thing on a sore day. Washed it carefully first thing - gritted teeth - dabbed it dry and applied cream. So far, so hoopy. Washed rest of self, dried off then applied spray deoderant, totally forgetting in my pre-second-mug-of-tea state about the fresh tatt on the left hand side of my chest, dangerously close to said armpit.

And once I'd stopped screaming and rolling around on the bathroom floor (OK, bit of an exaggeration but my vision did go decidedly sparkly for a moment or two) I thought I'd probably best watch out for that for the next few days. *Snort*

Did spend some time looking at myself in bathroom mirror - have never been a vain creature so this is a rather new experience for me. Damn, but I love the way my ink looks; as I said to Bish while we were away, it feels like I'm claiming my body back. Remaking myself in an image of my own choosing.

In other news, triad_fic is filling up nicely with a mix of new and old stuff. Not many fans as yet but who knows. From little acorns mighty oaks and all that horsepuckey, wot?

Anyway. That's me so far.

How's your day going?

New ink. Pain's not too bad - was ok to get done, too - but the one on the back of my neck is a bit sticky this morning. Some of them are like that; they weep a bit for the first day or so. I'll whack some cream on it, that'll sort it out... anyway, just the background to be filled in now, and some subtle colour shading to add to the Ed across my back. Then we're done with the top of my back and upper shoulders - we move down onto the chest next. And I notice that there's still unused skin on the inside of my upper arms, but I reckon that bit's going to hurt like a mofo - but if I want half sleeves I'll have to bite the damn bullet!

Anyway... ( Pics! )

Haven't posted for ages, have I?

Well, Rockfic Asheville went like an absolute dream. Better than I could have imagined! I'll post more about it later but suffice it to say... you lot are awesome.

And kraftpistole? You are so very, very wrong. Getting close to people can hurt, yes. But being totally alone is even worse. And pushing us away because of someone else is simply being cruel to yourself. Think about it, mate, because you deserve so much better.

New ink. Looks awesome. Feels bloody fucking sore.

...later, guys...
