i did it!!

yes, ladies and gents, Meghan officially got her first tattoo. it's between the shoulders just below the base of the neck, and it's only the shamrock. no text. alright, alright, i'll put another picture up of what it looks like (i heart it so):
yup! it's about two inches across. maybe a bit more. but the goal was to be around 2 inches. it's excellent! happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me...

inhuman? what??

why do people keep expecting me to hate Kyle? this confuses me. how could i hate somebody that i used to care so much for? true, i'm not his biggest fan at the moment, but why would i spend so much energy actively hating someone? i think he would've had to do something fairly monumental for me to be able to be angry with him.

go figure.

in other news, i bought fruit snacks today. damn those things are delicious. i'm eating a pack right now (they're "cherry" flavoured.... i like the strawberry ones better)... mmmm....

Meteorite shower!! i love them. the peak is going to be on Saturday (it's the South Delta Aquarid annual shower, for those of you who care), and i think a group of us are going to go lay out near the baseball fields and watch. apparently, there's an average of 20 an hour, but don't believe me about it. check it for yourself

yep, pretty exciting stuff. in fact, i believe i will go watch right now! cheers!

200! yes!

made it. huzzah

and to honour this momentous(??) occasion, i will... hmm... explain why i want to get my tattoo (photo at the end).

i found this image on a website that has a collection of all things Irish. the site itself is www.eirefirst.com and i found it randomly a few years back. i was probably making a family history project for school (i'm sure everybody and their mother has had to do those a time or three), and was perusing the clipart section, laughing at their lame leprechauns and the whatnot when i found this image. to me, it symbolises (corny alert! corny alert!) how the Irish always shine through, and to have faith. throughout my life, various obstacles have arisen (some large, some laughably small), and between my love for my family and my faith in the idea that everything will be fine in the end, i've managed to pull myself through.

indeed, my family could be the poster kids for Irish-America, with a hint of Russian for flavour. St. Patrick's Day celebrations since before i was born, and my family is the "token protestant" influence in an overwhelmingly catholic celtic band that my dad, along with a few slightly inebriated friends, started over 25 years ago.

yeah, basically, Irish pride. gotta love it.

so, without further ado, my tattoo idea:

isn't it nice? i'd like to get it on my back, just below the collar line (easier to cover up for work than my first choice- the back of my neck). either that, or this option, possibly somewhere on my arm:
(the text font would be different, but the idea is the same)

and there you have it. a 10 dollar answer to a 2 cent question that was never asked.
