as if inside our skulls, instead of the brain, we felt a fish, floating, attracted by the Moon.

Tattoos again


I keep thinking about tattoos. I wanted a jellyfish tattoo, but I've been thinking about it, and I'd rather have something with more meaning to me.
When I was in elementary school I was obsessed--and I mean absolutely obsessed--with wolves. I knew everything there was to know about wolves (though I've forgotten a lot of things), and I wore those grandma-style dark blue tie dye howling wolf shirts basically every day. I also loved werewolves.
I'm not so obsessed anymore, but I do still consider wolves to be my favorite animal, and I feel like I'd like to combine my wolf obsession with my physiology/osteology/pathology obsession.
So I decided on a wolf skull.
Not sure where I'd get it, but I'm leaning towards a tramp stamp. I hate the connotations of tramp stamps, but I honestly do love the way they look. I once saw a girl bicycling though town with a tramp stamp of a photo realistic freshwater bass. It was awesome. I'd love to have a realistic, non-cliche tramp stamp like that.
I googled up some wolf skull photos and naked-lady-back photos and combined the two until I found a design I liked, adjusting the jaw on the skull so it's mouth isn't gaping quite so much.

Of course, whatever I decide on wouldn't be something I'd get right away. I want to be absolutely certain about my design, and once I'm 100% sure, I'll wait a year or so, just in case. I'd hate to get a tattoo I'm going to regret.


I'm also still pretty set on my Stephen King quote tattoo for my left wrist. Times new roman font, as clean and simple as possible.
"He thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts."

Speaking of IT, apparently they're going to remake the movie version! I'm so pleased. The movie is good, but it's nothing like the book, and no where near as good.

Day 12 — Whatever tickles your fancy

Ele e fodao, mas eu sei que eu sou tambem


I'm super bored with the music I've been listening to lately, so I've rediscovered my love for iTunes' genius feature. My favorite find so far is the playlist created based off of Jimmy by M.I.A.

Waxing nostalgic lately, but in a strange way...
I feel stagnant. I want to move, I want to get things done, I want to be exciting and alive.









Day 11 — A photo of you taken recently

lol gross apple core. I swear this photo has context to it, but I don't feel like explaining because it's unbelievably lame. I'll just... whatever. Nevermind.
