OMGoodness! I"m not sure quite yet what I've gotten myself into, but here goes. I just got done reading some co-worker blogs and what can I say, I'm inspired. I"ve always found it challenging to write everyday, been tryin since I was little and I have a ton of little diaries with maybe a few scattered days here and there back at my old home. As it supposedly takes 21 days strait to make a habit, (lol recently learned just by hanging up my coat when I come home), and I'm 22, I'm gonna try and write every day for AT LEAST 22 days. Even if I have to set an alarm on my phone. (like with my birth control when I first started, it was funny waking up to me saying "no babies, no babies, no babies, no babies," just sayin).
I"m really in it now, as it's not recommended to look at a computer screen at least 2 hours before you plan to sleep, and well, my 32" tv is my monitor, so I'm screwed.
I guess I'll start with 22 facts about me, a day at a time:
Day 1. I have 6 tattoos that I have gotten in 4 sittings, and they mean the world to me, because to me I get to carry around the people and things I love everywhere with me, and I think they are all so very wonderful. note: I've gotten all of them within the past year.
Some studies somewhere say that your brain doesn't fully develops until your 24/25 or something like that, (43% of statistics are made up on the spot, lol), and I've heard some people tell me I'll regret them eventually. I do think for myself thank you very much people, and I will NEVER, I repeat, NEVER NEVER will regret any of them.
1. 1St night in San Diego - Drunk - ultimate 21 run with mom, her hs good friend and her daughter. All of whom I spent a majority of my first 5/6 years with. We all got matching Chinese writing for "new beginnings" on our hip bones (my mom and I on our left, Karla and Brit on their right). Not to mention it was all but Brit's first tattoos.
2. March - Harley Davidson dealership - my arms- right: "What if there was no tomorrow?" great conversation starter and kind of a when to live reminder. left: "God, Love, Family, Self, Friends" - My priorities in that order. I used to put myself last but no one wins in that scenario, and I think there are certain friends who become family who do get put before me. As well as a why to live reminder.
3. April 16 - All American Tattoo - Dodecahedron on my right calf. Almost a 3d version of a diamond, a peridot, and a sapphire. (my sister, my mom, and I's birthstones.) for my sister's 18th birthday. My mom and my sister have very similar ones, tho my sister's is still only an outline.
4. uuuuhh - I should know this...- My right foot (yes, FUCKING OOOOOOWWWW!!): BAD in jetson's looking block letters in green/yellow/red cuz I love...bob marley...wink wink. Stands for Bob And Donna, my grandparents who passed away in 2010 3 months and a day apart. They were the Johnny and June I knew. left foot (again, FUCKING OOOOOOWWWW!!): my cat Friskey's paw prints. All I can say is, if you can remember when days were short and years were long, and not the other way around, I had her for SEVENTEEN AND A HALF YEARS!
I miss them all dearly, but this way, they can walk with me everywhere. When I walk to the graduation stage after college, walking down the eisle to the love of my life, walk into the nursery at the hospital, walk in Europe, etc.
No regrets. ('cept now I feel like all my posts have to be that long...eeek.)
