A day to celebrate!

It’s official, Arizona!

I’m finished with my work this semester! I sent in my project scans plus my academic essay yesterday afternoon! Then I filled out an application for Starbucks (again. I canceled it the first time because there’s a “strict policy on no facial piercings or visible tattoos” but I was then informed that many Starbucks baristas here in Oly have facial piercings, and I’ll need to meet with them about it. An I can wear long sleeves, which isn’t that big of a deal. It’s not like I wore all black this summer in Arizona for my last job… hah).
Anyway, yeah! Once Saturday night’s show is over, I’m completely free of basically all obligations! Also, yesterday I got the tattoo products I ordered, such as needles and stencil carbon paper, which means… Tattoo Shoppe E. Horton is ready for (more) business! And speaking of tattoos…

I got my eighth tattoo this afternoon. It’s the second paragraph an second edition to my developing leg piece that I call my “literature leg”.  It’s a paragraph from my favorite book, Looking for Alaska, and it says,
”We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They forget that when they get old.
They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail.”

It only took an hour, so luckily I was able to lay through it despite my fun, cute pneumonia… hah. But now, I have to go to the call tech for tonight’s show. Only one more day of things to do and then I can just relax and sleep forever and work on not being so ill. My love, as always!
