updates

Just thought I'd do an update on what's been going on in the land of Paige lately.

-Today was my dads birthday. My brothers and I bought him an x box 360 and he was so stoked

- I have been working hard on getting my new tattoo together(Or my boyfriend has, he is the creative one in this relationship lol) It should be ready very soon and will hopefully be imprinted on my body forever in the next month or so

- I have some spare cash which I intend on spending tomorrow when I go shopping. Hopefully there are some good sales on!

- I bought a new book today, Don't Tell Mummy by Toni Maguire. Strangely there is no blurb on the back of the book, it just says, 'I felt secure in my mothers love. She would tell him to stop. But she didn't.' It sounds like it's going to be a bit of a heartbreaker espeically seeing as though it's a true story

- I don't think I've ever mentioned this but I am an avid gamer when it comes to Super Nintendo &Nintendo 64. I have been on the hunt for Mario Kart 64 for months and months now and I finally got it today! Got my ass handed to me by Nick but soo fun. Now all I need is Bubsy &Donkey Kong Country for my Super Nintendo and my life will be complete.

- I am obsessed with Law&Order SVU and have started watching all ten seasons again. I was on season 7 yesterday, up to one of my favourite parts on one of my favourite episodes and the motherfudger kept skipping. I took the dvd out and dicovered a big ass scratch on the disc. So depressing!

- I joined a package swap on someones blog today. I can't wait for it! I have always loved the idea of having a penpal in a different country. Who wants to be my penpal? =D

- Lately I have been revisiting my teenage years in the form of music. I have been listening to a lot of songs I used to be obsessed with when I was younger. Mainly Brand New and Bright Eyes. If you haven't heard of these bands I would suggest Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades by Brand New & Lover I Don't Have To Love by Bright Eyes. Old school but still amazing.

- My naughty kitten caught a lizard today. I don't let him get lizards, because I actually like them. Usually I'll run all over the house trying to catch him and let him go but by the time I noticed the cat had a lizard the poor thing was in shock and its tail was in 2 pieces. I felt horrible I couldn't save him ='[

- I think I'm almost out of my rut! yayyy. I have decided to take a couple of weeks to focus on myself and really think about what I want before I even start looking for a new job and it has payed off. I'm feeling so much better alredy =)

- Has anyone heard the song Tragedy by Brandi Carlile? They played it on Grey's Anatomy a million years ago and it took me that long to find the song title and artist. It's such a beautiful song. Vaguely reminds me of Imogen Heap whom I also ADORE. Grey's anatomy has the most amazing soundtrack

- I've been baking a lot lately. Mostly muffins/cupcakes/brownies. Just from packets so it doesn't really count for much but I think I'm going to start trying to make my own from scratch.

And that is what I've been up to lately :)

Take care my loves

tattoos

I'm going to put it out there, I LOVE tattoos. I love cute little tattoos and huge intricite tattoos. There is no way in hell I would be able pull off anything like a sleeve, nor could I afford it or handle the pain. But I do have 4 tattoos and for some reason I am not a huge fan of telling people this(kind of a hipocritical blog post then, yes?) and I am not a fan of flashing them to random people or explaining them to random people. I'm not sure why but it just makes me uncomfortable. I love looking at others but I am not really a tattoo 'judger'. If I don't like someones tattoo, I'd obviously never tell them but even if I don't like it I can appreciate the amazing quality and effort put in. I don't really know what my point is, I think I'm just rambling.

Anyway, people always seem surprised when they discover I have a tattoo. They are even more suprised when they find out I have four. And of course, they want to see them. Mine are not huge or incredibly detailed and they don't make sense to other people. I have strategically placed them so that they are rarely visible to others because I strongly believe that a tattoo is something you should get for yourself and not something to just brag about. (I am not saying that a visible tattoo is there for bragging rights, I'm just saying I didn't make mine that visible because random peoples questions about them make me uncomfortable) I feel I'm being judged when I show people that I don't know my tattoos and I really hate that feeling.

I got my first tattoo done locally by someone who shall not be named and he royally fucked it. I mean it is UNFIXABLE. Which is crazy because I have seen some of the detailed work he has done and it is usually flawless! I am trying to save money to get it removed and then re done properly in the same spot. Because of this incident, there is only one tattooist I will let touch me and he recently moved about two hours away. I have had a new one on my brain for about a year now but I just cannot seem to find anything or think of anything I'm really in love with. I want a big one but I don't know if I'd look silly with it because I'm petite. I'd love a wrap around tattoo on my lower front/side/back but have no idea what I'd get.

Like I said, I don't know what the point of this post is. Just rambling my thoughts I think.

What are your thoughts on tattoos? Have you ever got one and been unhappy with it?
