Oh man... this was brutal, for whatever reason. Went in not feeling so well and let me tell you guys, it was not a fun time.
I love what I have so far, and my artist was really good about my not feeling well. I need to go back in 3 weeks to get it coloured. Sorry about the crappy cell phone pic, it's all I have right now. I love it, though!
It's inspired by Neil Young's song "Old Man" and the words say "give me things that won't get lost", and there's even a loonie with a nice sailor-jerry queen elizabeth II in the middle. I can't wait for it to be done.. but then again, getting tattooed is the last thing I feel like going and doing at the moment :P

none!
4. What is the best thing about your current job?

NO D:. Maybe if they only snored a little. But it would still piss me off. I'd be cool with sleep walking though. Oh god I can't imagine how bad it would be to be in a relationship with a snorer.

Your Score: HARTFORD! You scored 22% Style, 60% Climate, and 48% Culture! 
You are Hartford, Connecticut. Hartford, located at the end of the navigable portion of the Connecticut River, was settled in 1623 as a Dutch trading post. In 1636, a group of English settlers left Massachusetts and formed a colony here. The settlers made peace with the local Algonquin Indians, who called the town Saukiog, and renamed it after Hertford, England. Shaped by the social and economic forces which gave rise to industrial growth in America, Hartford grew and prospered as successive waves of immigrants came to work, build and settle in the community. This ethnic and cultural diversity continues to be a prominent part of Hartford's heritage and one of the city's greatest assets. Hartford also became an important cultural and communications center. The nations oldest public art museum, the Wadsworth Athenaeum, was founded in 1844. Supported by prominent benefactors like J.P. Morgan, the museum grew to become one of the top ten art museums in the country. Authors like Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher Stowe were drawn to the area, because, as Twain said "of all the beautiful towns it has been my fortune to see, this is the chief."
You have landed yourself in a more laid back city because you are not fond of typical city crowds and city folk, but would probably be happier in a smaller town. You also don't mind the change in seasons, even though you prefer more sunshine and warm weather to the opposite. You probably enjoy a good film or art show every now and then, but more often than not, you just like to kick back and enjoy the outdoors and nature. You could stand to be a bit more open-minded because it would make you all the more well-rounded. Hartford fits you alright, although you'd probably do well in the countryside, too, far from the hustle, bustle, and stress of the city.

I am a Child - Neil Young |
] |
So, my grandpa isn't dead. He's in a coma though. With very little brain activity. And he's in his 80s. So... He's pretty much dead. I'm confused about the situation. I mean, I guess by a miracle he could pull through, but I doubt it. He's pretty old. I've been considering getting a tattoo for him because I've been thinking about how he's lived his life and what a good man he is. I won't get into it, but I really respect him. I don't know what do get though, and I'm afraid of getting flak from my family.
I went to Reverend Horton Heat on Tuesday, and it was AMAZING. The music was awesome, and the band's performance was awesome. I was there with Justin and Kate, we had a little beer, I ran into some ex-coworkers from Living Colour, and we danced the entire time they were onstage. I think we actually stayed off for like 3 songs maybe. I don't want to call what was going on moshing, but it was definitely more than dancing. I think if I wasn't a little intoxicated I would have hurt myself... more. I had some wicked feet blisters that kept me from walking so well, and I have a big black bruise on my left knee, and one on my right arm. And my back was pretty sore. It was great, though. My first real concert. I love smashing into people. I understand Fight Club all the better now. The only people who seem to want to dance with me are old dudes. Seriously, I danced with like 4 different ones... and no young guys! Oh well, whatever, I had fun. High-fiving strangers and pushing over toothless construction workers is fun. Kate and I walked back from Barrymore's to Lauren's house, and we ended up walking with the lead singer of the Sick Sick Sicks on the way back. They're a local band but I swear to god I've heard of an older punk band with that name. The guy was really nice and we talked for like half an hour and I'm definitely going to his next show. We ran into Jeneen in front of a bar on the way back at like 2am too. When we got to Lauren's we couldn't get in, so we went back to the bar and hung out with her and used her phone and got someone to pick us up, and we hung out and talked with her friends. Pretty good night, I'd say. Psychobilly shows are awesome. I'm a fan.
I checked out Lauren's place that I'm moving into, and painted my room. This house is amazing. Rent's cheap for me, the house is huge, 5 bedrooms, 2 floors, backyard, and the place is ~120 fucking years old. Good location, too. My room is bright yellow-orange and I'm so excited.
I want to seriously talk with my father about starting on a lifetime father daughter project/investment/dream come true. Since he was a young man he always wanted to build an off-the-grid house, but never managed to, what with the army, my mother, and all. He turned 50 last weekend and we were talking about energy efficiency (....yeah) when he was telling me all about how he knows all what he wants to do, solar panels, living in a windmill, wells, collecting rainwater, vegetable gardens, plumbing systems, and how he was frustrated and a little depressed that this was his dream and he still hasn't done it. I told him he should do it, but he said he didn't know how he could get the money. He retires soon and guess what he has for education? An english degree. I suggested he teach, and he seemed to think that was an option. We half-joked with one another about pooling our money and making a house (or cottage) like that we could share and pass down. I really think I want to approach him seriously about it. I don't have any really long-term goals (I think becoming a tattoo artist would happen relatively quickly), and I think this would be an amazing one, and give us a much stronger relationship. I'd love to help my dad achieve his dream. I probably couldn't help very much as far as the financial aspect would go, but I think just being there with him would really help. He'd also be overjoyed at getting to work on something with his daughter, and get closer. We've never had a very good relationship, but it's on the mend, slowly. I don't know how being a tattoo artist would work out with this plan, but I can focus on the details later. I want to build this place with my father.

So my mom's driving to Burlington to be with her dad while he dies........ She just got called about this like 20 minutes ago. I'm not going. I don't know what to think? I haven't seen him in over a year and I feel really guilty, I kept ditching him to go see Alex.. My mom doesn't want me to go with her. My cousins aren't allowed to go visit him either. I feel bad for not having seen him for so long, not for him being on his deathbed... I mean, I've known it was coming for a few years now, but man, that sucks, my poor mom, you know? Both of her parents will be gone soon (her mom died when my momw as 8)... I feel bad for being so detached from that, though. I just feel really bad for not having seen him in a long time, but I can't go to a hospital to watch my grandfather die. Natural human fears of the dead and dying, I guess... I KNOW I'm going to regret not having seen him in so long, though. I was regretting it before he got sick. Man... :\ Guilt.

The Everything Test There are many different types of tests on the internet today. Personality tests, purity tests, stereotype tests, political tests. But now, there is one test to rule them all. Traditionally, online tests would ask certain questions about your musical tastes or clothing for a stereotype, your experiences for a purity test, or deep questions for a personality test.We're turning that upside down - all the questions affect all the results, and we've got some innovative results too! Enjoy :-) | Personality | You are more emotional than logical, more concerned about others than concerned about self, more atheist than religious, more dependent than loner, more lazy than workaholic, more traditional than rebel, more artistic mind than engineering mind, more cynical than idealist, more leader than follower, and more extroverted than introverted.
As for specific personality traits, you are adventurous (90%), intellectual (87%), romantic (71%), artistic (66%). | | | Stereotypes | | Punk Rock | 67% | | Old Geezer | 50% | | Prep | 46% | | | | Life Experience | | Sex | 33% | | Substances | 24% | | Travel | 11% | | Politics
Your political views would best be described as Liberal, whom you agree with around 50% of the time. | | Socioeconomic
Your attitude toward life best associates you with Working Class. You make more than -0% of those who have taken this test, and 100% less than the U.S. average.
| If your life was a movie, it would be rated PG-13.
By the way, your hottness rank is 69%, hotter than 94% of other test takers. | TAKE THE TEST brought to you by thatsurveysite

So, how am I?
It's been over a week since I last talked to Alex. I told him he had to be the first to call, and he said he would soon. But I'm beginning to cave. Is this a bad idea? I don't know.
I finished at the tattoo shop yesterday. They got a cake and sang 'for she's a jolly good fellow' and got me a present (a handbag with a skull and ... guitar crossbones on it... and an HMV giftcard for I"m not sure how much), and a card they all signed, and a photo. My boss gave me a hug. I'm going to miss it there. Everything's going away right now, it feels. I cried on the bus a little, I'm not sure what about.
I'm in a bad place. I cry in public. If you know me at all, you'll know that's really not how I am.
I have to go back to Norman Johnston to finish english, they won't let me do correspondence. I offended the principal when I met with her because I was very sullen and untalkative, but I guess she just doesn't know how I'm feeling right now.
Very few friends left in Ottawa.
No more boyfriend.
No more awesome job.
Don't look like myself anymore.
No more boyfriend-vacations to look forward to (pretty much the only exciting thing in my life)
And, now I'm going back to a school I hate that makes me feel like a delinquent.
I guess I'll apply for some crappy jobs or something. I don't want to do much, being around other people is exhausting, trying to be happy and all that. Pretty much my only ambition is to get a job and save up for that dragon & peony tattoo I've been wanting for the past 2 years or so. I guess that would cheer me up. Maybe save up to move away or something. Once Justin's gone, what's left for me in Ottawa? Besides my family, I guess.
I am so silly, I just want to see Alex again and put in a silly ... get-him-back-plan that is so typical of girls. I want to go see him, I wish I could figure this stuff out. Some girls are so good at that, I don't understand, I wish I was one of them. It's so frustrating, I know I can handle this relationship, but I guess relationships take two.
I'm sorry to everybody that's been trying to make me feel better, I've been very rude to everybody. Advice just frustrates me.

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I respond by asking you a couple personal questions so I can get to know you better. If I already know you well, expect the questions may be a little more intimate!
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
1. Are you working now?
Sort of. I'm doing a co-op program to help me wrap up some high school credits. It's unpaid, and I'm doing it at a tattoo shop. I've been there 3 1/2 months and I'm done in about 2 weeks... 1 1/2? I get tattooed for free :D. And there's a chance they will hire me on. I need a real, paying job something awful.
2. Do you still Rp?
No, I don't. Last time I did was last summer... I played a few D&D sessions (like 4 or 5) when I went back to visit friends in New Brunswick... I met my boyfriend there! He was the DM :D. When he came up on New Year's, and my other friend did too, we were SUPPOSED to have a (short, like, one or 2 sessions) game of D&D but he had a raging fever so it didn't happen :P.
3 What're you up to now?
Basically, the tattoo shop, wrapping up high school, having a long-distance (like 6 hour bus ride away) relationship, needing a job to make money, thinking about moving out & what I might be doing with my life... thinking about art schools... Toronto School of Art is looking pretty good to me, but I don't think I can get in for the fall semester at this point. Also, I'm going to Disney World in April :D. And.. I dunno.. Hair's brown now... have a tattoo... parents are divorced... in love.. yep, that's it.
4. Do you like Rice or potatos more?
Potatoes.
5 How much IS that doggy in the window?
I don't know but I was definitely singing that not even an hour ago.

My hair's brown now. I asked for blonde. It has ridiculous tiny blonde highlights, though. People at work really liked it, and Ben called it "hot", but, whatever... I think I might give up on my blonde ambition and go for flat dark brown, for my hair's sake. I want tiny bangs. Some sorta exciting haircut that's not too strange. My tattoo is coloured! I got tattooed for like 2-3 hours... it was pretty fine, except for when parts nearer to my chest got revisited for the THIRD time... owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww fuck.
I'm done at Living Colour in 2 weeks... oh man. Weird. But, I spoke up about being interested in taking of Hayley's old job once Amanda leaves... I don't know if they wanna hire me though, and I don't know how long I'm even going to be in Ottawa... arg. I really want to move in with Alex somewhere for his work term. Really badly. I need a job to save up, dammit.
This long distance relationship is totally frustrating me. It will probably be better after midterms, though. He never answers his phone! And I can't see him for like, 3 or 4 weeks... And obviously, another Valentine's opportunity blown... Bah. I hate being a girl and caring about stupid shit. Stupid. I wish I could spend more time with him, I want that week at the cabin before Christmas back... It was pretty perfect.
I was pretty cheerful today. I kept getting amusing ex boyfriend news... I'm pretty sure I saw Andrew working at the Rideau Centre KFC. And Joel's dating an older, married, religious woman with a young teen kid & making out with her in movie theaters. He's happy though, and it's just pretty funny. I hope he doesn't get his ass kicked, though.
