long time no see!

Wow, it's been forever.

I got a new computer (my old one died) so perhaps I can begin posting again.
I also recently began a sketchbook...something I have not had/been diligent enough to do for years. So perhaps in addition to some more regular posting I might actually have some drawings to put up!

Ciao for now!

who's gonna save my soul now?

I have started a love-affair with iTunes. I got a gift card awhile ago and am just now enjoying the benefits. It's a chance for me to get some guilty-pleasure type music that I normally wouldn't pay for despite my enjoyment of the songs. Wahoo!

I have a cold. I was having other, different, health problems earlier this week---why is it that all of my issues occur at once? It's lame.

I'm finding it hard to concentrate. Boyfriend is at work right now. I want to be working on my projects but my mind keeps wandering. I think it's because I'm sick...I start to get tired of focusing and just want to lay down and listen to music instead.
Despite this, I am making some progress on my secret project. I am so excited! It's slow going, but at least it's going...

Oh yes, and I have realized that I should no longer buy clothing online. Usually it's the size that's the problem, but this time it's the colors: the colors on my monitor and in person were so different! So now I have ANOTHER trip to the post office to return them, and the website doesn't cover postage. So I'm out $6. Lame.

And I'm realizing just how crazy everyone is. Really crazy. I mean REALLY. I know I'm far from normal, but... I at least try to cause other people happiness rather than strife. I know now that that's not the case for most everyone else.
Why do people like causing others pain, discomfort, confusion, strife, anger, sadness? It's so weird to me.

And those are my thoughts for today.
P.S. I'm happy that it's raining!

photo of the best tattoo ever!

my latest tattoo!
it's a drawing by Chris Sanders. You can check out his work at www.chrissandersart.com

oi

I got a new tattoo! I will post pictures a.s.a.p!

I am struggling with my personal projects. I'm not at work as much but I seem to be lacking creative motivation. Ugh.

Speaking of work, some people have mentioned training me on the book floor. I am excited about this: I think I could be an asset to the book end of things. I'm not sure if they'd pull me out of cafe completely---I think it would be cool to spend half my weekly hours in cafe and half on the book floor. Best of both worlds!So I'm going to try and find out what's going on as soon as I can. I don't like not knowing what people are planning for me!

I am excited for work tomorrow so that I can show off my new ink. It really is the most amazing tattoo ever.
