maybe i will, maybe i won't
 No title on this one yet, because I'm not sure if I'm completely done with it or not. I'm really getting into blackwork (a tattooing term for thick, black designs that I am applying to painting with ink instead of putting it in skin). So far, I'm really happy with this. This one I did with my pen in class this morning. Can I have the past two hours of my life back please? if you haven't already, i invite you to look at the rest of my stuff (that i have online anyway) on my site at DeviantArt.

anti-valentine's, bradley for the masses, and a new toothbrush
 One of the most wretched holidays is upon us. Anyone who knows me knows of my incredible distaste for Valentine's Day. Am I bitter? Maybe. It could have something to do with the fact that I've never gotten flowers on this day of uber-marketing from anyone but my mother. However, I feel as though I should explain. Why don't I like it? Because pretty much nobody's ever happy on Valentine's Day. Why do I think this? Let me elaborate:1. The majority of us are single, and the amount of advertising for jewelery and all that crap that we're not going to buy OR recieve gets old. 15 bucks for a dozen roses? Great. That'd be a deal except I'm not buying any. Or getting any. And it wouldn't be such a fuckin' big deal if it weren't for the advertising rubbing it in! 2. Some of the people who aren't single are with people who aren't going to remember, be able to afford the expectations placed on them, or don't necessarily believe Valentine's Day is a legit excuse for different behavior. Thus, unmet expectations and uneven expectations = at least one unhappy person. 3. Why on earth is a holiday necessary to celebrate the fact that you love someone? Isn't love something that should be celebrated all the time? Love IS a celebration. Would you rather have a triple diamond pendant or someone to come home to every night? Why get mad about getting the wrong kind of flowers when you have someone supporting you emotionally every day and night? It seems kindof rediculous to me. In conclusion, I will be spending tomorrow as Tuesday. If anyone tells me Happy Valentine's Day, I will simply reply, Happy Tuesday! Not because I don't wish them well, but because it's just a freakin' Tuesday dressed up all fancy by Hallmark. In happier news, I got a new toothbrush today. And damn does that feel good. I have also provided a picture of my near and dear buddy Bradley, above. Isn't he such a little stud muffin? I didn't realize how much I watch him and everything until I was gone this weekend and I was trying to get ahold of my roommate to make sure he was getting fed and whatnot, because I would be really sad if he were ill or dead. Bradley's such a good little guy. Ria posted at 8:27 PM 6 comments * * * * * * * * *

big questions
i was thinking about the question you get in email forwards of "if you could meet one person, living or dead, who would it be? now i don't necessarily believe the answer can't change. things get different, you know? but for once i have a definite answer. most people say "Jesus" or "Abraham Lincoln", something like that. this is very notable. but i think they answer that question thinking it's only a one shot deal. so here's my answer for right now: i'd love to meet Shannon Larratt (you can read his blog at zentastic.com and he is also the brains behind BMEZine, and if you know what's good for you, you'll check these out). why you ask? well, the reasons are manifold! first, i am fascinated by body modification and would like for my soc/anthro specialization to be in the subculture and workings of body modification, particularly in western civilization. to be able to converse with someone who knows this much about modification and the mod community not from the perspective of a researcher or scientist but participating observer would be, pardon my lax vocabulary here, but THE SHIT. second, he lets the world look at so much ranging from his own mods to the rest of his life. always interesting...we're such a society of voyeurs. third, he seems like a cool people. kinda like Jesus and Abe, they were probably cool people too. Anyway. speaking of the academics on body modification, i got an email back from the professor regarding my symposium in april on mods...we're going to try to meet (hopefully this week). some nice folks have already told me they would be willing to let me take pictures of their work/piercings for a powerpoint presentation (thanks, if you're reading this). anyway, it was bedtime for me about two hours ago...i got called into work early again today for another person that didnt show up. sigh. oh well, more money for books and bills. also, for anyone who's counting, i restarted prozac on thursday, and i have been faithfully taking my medicine every night. and if you don't think i need it, slag off, because my ankle is still kinda nasty from the other night. but i feel a shit ton better, i know the medicine is kicking in, and i definitely feel much more like myself now. yay. night ;D Ria posted at 11:17 PM 0 comments * * * * * * * * *

how i blew my saturday night
 check this shit out. this is what single girls who are on call for work tomorrow do on block break.1. watch documentaries on the show "Cops" 2. play SSX on the PS2 3. talk to intoxicated friends over the internet 4. observe and feed Bradley, the current fish in residence and 5.... put in your curlers in hopes that when you wake up the next day your hair won't actually look like shit. i have never used curlers before...so this is kindof weird. comic relief, no?

refill day
i refilled my prozac today. phew. maybe i will balance out now. between irregularly taking my meds and the raging hormones that come with meunstration, i've been really wacked out for the past few days. sadly enough, i think i need a little supervision with the vitamin p. it's not that i don't want to take it, it's that im just not very good at taking medicine, no matter what it is. i pretty much need someone to remind me to do it every once in a while because there are nights where i go to bed, and try to tell myself, oh, you felt fine today - just take it tomorrow night. however, after a few days of that, i end up telling myself that maybe i can feel fine not taking it for awhile, and then it all comes back and kicks me down. i hate it, and i know why it happens. so in an hour i'm going to walk down to the pharmacy and get my prozac, because even if i have to take a pill every day to feel like myself, its one hell of a lot better than the feeling i get when it's been too long without it. once the exhausted feeling sets in after the raging anxiety and whatnot, you quietly realize that you would do anything to not have to feel like that, and that if that means paying whatever a month for something that makes your brain send and recieve enough stuff to make you feel halfway stable. my roommate sarah is letting me borrow her digital camera while she's at home to put up the new artwork i've done, so that'll be up sometime today. :) i feel better just knowing that medicine is on the way.

all circuits are busy?
Yeah, I get it, Verizon. Bryan and I just got cut off, which happens all of the time. The end of the building I live in gets crap for reception. However tonight, when I headed to the other end of the building to call him back, I got bombarded with "All circuits are busy now. Please try your call again later." Well, it's later, and no dice. Newest little econ project: saving the money for a new digital camera. It would really help out with my symposium. This time, I will keep it in the bag at all times so in case any freak waterbottle accidents occur, it will not somehow fry the inside. I am still wondering exactly what happened with mine. There's another Kodak similar to the one I have now that I can get for just a little over $100, and I wouldn't have to deal with buying battery packages or anything because I already have one of their rechargable setups. I don't think they make mine anymore - honestly, I think (even though mine was given to me as a gift) that it was on a last-call sale sort of deal because Kodak had moved on. Which is fine - it worked great before it went kaput. I still feel like a total ass about that. I could get a reconditioned version of the one I looked at for $85 - I'm not sure how I feel about that. My first CD player was reconditioned and honestly, it did a pretty good job considering how hard I was on my portable cd players. Kodak gives you the same warranty and everything that it does on new products, and has a 30 day money back thing in case something goes wrong. They get tested and everything...maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea, because $35 more bucks in my pocket isn't something I would complain about. If i got the refurbished model of the next one up than I was looking at, it would be the same price as the original one was new. It'd be going up an entire megapixel, expanding the max print size too. Hum. Food for thought. Plus I already have an SD card. Frankly all I need is the camera. | |
