Tattoos are Addictive

So it hasn't even been a month since I got my first ever tattoo and my lip ring. But I already want another tattoo. I'm thinking of getting it in March.

I want that in a different font across my side, below the ribs and above the belly button on my right side. I considered getting my belly button pierced but I don't think I'd like it. Plus, I love this quote. "We are not our failures" makes it sound like we are more then the mistakes we have made, we are how we handled those mistakes, how we turned those around, we are our successes.

music music music

I can't sing, I'm tone deaf and I have no musical abilites what-so-ever. I tried learning to play the trumpet when I was 11 and I just failed. But even with my lack of musical abilities I love music. I love how my boyfriend likes most of the same stuff I do. I like that my friends think my music tastes are a little weird. And it probably is kind of weird how when I like a song I get obsessed with it and listen to it until I'm sick of it. These are the songs I'm currently obsessed with:
- Louder than Thunder by The Devil Wears Prada
- Relentless Chaos by Miss may i
- U Should Have Killed Me When U had the Chance by A Day to Remember
- Pretty Girl by Sugarcult (only the live version, the recorded one is crap)
- Make Damn Sure by Taking Back Sunday

Now I should probably meantion 2 out of 3 of the songs above include sceamo and some pretty hard-core lyrics. Actually, the stuff above is light compaired to some of the other stuff I listen to when I'm angry (Chelsea Grin, Suicide Silence). It's just some of the music I like. Not every band I like is hard-core. I also like Ke$ha, Katy Perry, and Foster the People. Hell, I even like semi-indie bands like Florence and the Machine, The Killers, Brights Eyes and The Smiths (i seriously <3 The Smiths. to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die). Often, my friends and family don't get my music tastes. Even Darian, my boyfriend, thinks I'm weird for my love of The Smiths, Ke$ha and A Day to Remember. Although, recently I learned he also loved a couple songs that are some of my favorites (and have been for years):
- Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls
- Cold by Crossfade

Iris has been my favorite love song since I heard it for the first time when I was 12. You have no idea how excited I was when he told me he loved it. I've kind of always wanted to shared that song with a boyfriend as our song and now I can :D it makes me ridiculously happy because my previous boyfriends didn't know or like the song and just thought it was depressing and weird. Another one of my favorite love songs is Reasons to Love You by Meiko. It's just beautiful, like a perfect wedding song.
I think that's it for my review on music today. I'll probably post more later or on a different subject. Thanks for reading :)

Today was one of my weak days. Where I feel tired and sick, my cheeks are flushed and hot even though i feel so cold. I feel so exhusted and sick. My stomach is threatening to revolt. I hate how much I eat. Everytime I eat I feel neausous. Tomarrow, I get to go to the doctor and get a lecture on how overweight I am (the "healthy" weight for my height is 117. I'm 20 pounds over), my smoking habits, and the side-effects of the shot I need. I almost looking forward to it.

Shopping

I love when I have $200 to spend and am creepin around the omaha mall with one of my best friends. Apparently $200 can buy you 2 sweatshirts, the best slippers/flats you've ever owned, acryillic nails, a belt, a steelers lanyard, lunch from Arby's, and a peppermint mocha frappachino from starbucks. It was one of the best days ever. Just sayin'

Learners Permit and Reasons Why My Hair is now Short

So thursday I went to get my learners permit with my grandma (Uma) and Darian. I'm sorry to say I didn't pass but I did get my state I.D with the crappiest picture of me ever. But I'm going back Monday to try again. This is a huge deal for me because I'm going to start Driver's ed. I've been bugging my mom for 2 YEARS to let me get my learners and do driver's ed. She can be so controlling. So this is pretty huge.
Another huge thing is I cut my hair off. It's pretty short now, just under my chin. Everyone loves it. I've gotten sooooo many compliments on it. I like it better too. My long hair was always multi-colored at the ends from accidently getting dipped in paint and ink so often. It's not in my way nearly as much anymore. It's freeing to have my hair be so short. It's lighter. It also cut like 20 minutes off my morning routine. What really made me decide to cut though was Darian's comment that he liked short hair on women and how often my long hair got in his way. So thursday after I failed my test, we went to walmart and I got it cut and dyed dark. He loves it but he also said he loved my long hair. It doesn't matter to him. I've always been "this is how I am: like it or not."
Cutting my hair was my choice.

First Blog :)

So i'm sitting here in art class working on my newest project. I love art. It's the only time that I get to express the weird thoughts and feelings I have and get praised for it instead of unsteady looks. My artwork can be out there and confusing, sometimes completely chaotic or depressing but those are my thoughts expressed on paper by paint or ink or pencil. Thats me. I love how everything I make starts with just one line. One line linked to another, turning and connecting with other lines to make an image. Art is building something from the basics. Creating. It's freeing. I'll probably turn this blog into an art blog with pieces of my life stuck in. Of my own art and of art I admire :)
