Fighting the Craving

I have been craving a new tattoo like crazy recently.  Well actually, I've been craving another tattoo ever since I got my first one over two years ago. [god I'm getting old!]  It's a strange craving for me when I am terrified of needles & have threatened to punch a nurse on more than one occasion when getting blood drawn. Still, I am in love with them & can't wait to get another one.  It's true what all my friends said, don't get a tattoo cause you're going to want more.  Well I did & I do. 

I have a few tattoos planned out that I would like to get but really it all comes down to the issues of money [damn you green paper!] if I'll be able to get one or not.  In the mean time, I've been looking through pictures of tattoos like crazy to help satiate my craving.

This girl has sushi tattooed on her left arm!

This is almost like the key tattoo I want.  Only slightly larger & on my ankle...  someday.

UPDATE:  So turns out looking at tattoo photographs does not help my craving, it only makes it worse...  Damn it.

What I Wish I Was Doing Currently...

Final project due dates are fast approaching & with them, my insomnia & lack of motivation.  Whoo!

Paper Birds & Indoor Swings

I adore this room.  The color, the wallpaper, the bed.  It is simply amazing.  I feel like if I were in a space like this I'd be more motivated to be creative.  I think I'm going to have to redo my room at home this summer.  Definitely help me get inspired and maybe help me figure some things out.

Dainty Squid posted some of them a few days ago and I just fell in love [like with most things I see on her blog].

puppy included?  >.<

I'm Only Happy When It Rains

Strange as it seems rain storms make me incredibly happy.

LOVE:

- Flashes of Lightening
- Followed by Loud Booms of Thunder
- The Smell In the Air Before It Rains
- Puddle Jumping!!!
- Dancing In the Rain
- Blackouts with good friends. 

Hump Day Blues

WeHeartIt is my new favorite site to browse.  It is the best place to find beautiful, inspiring pictures to help me kick this bad funk I'm in.  That combined with the lovely musical workings of The Perishers & I will beat this day yet!

Anywhere But Here

Places I wish I were right now besides where I am:

IRELAND
Stroll the Irish hillsides by day.  Spend my nights [and afternoons] in a local pub.  Fall in love with an Irish man.

>source<

LONDON
Wander the streets of London.  Go to awesome rock concerts.  Drink lots of tea.  Fall in love with a Brit.

SAVANNAH
Lay in the parks and do nothing.  Be inspired.  Create art.

HOGWARTS
Need I really say more?
I'm still not convinced the owl carrying my acceptance letter didn't get lost during some freak tornado.  At least Harry Potter world opens soon so I can go and live my dream...  maybe sneak into some corner of the castle and never leave.

Lost: Creativity [and the ability to function]

>source<

This about sums up how I've felt today.  I've been in such a haze.  I can barely concentrate on anything or focus on what I need to do let alone be creative with it.  I've decided to try and relax a bit this evening [and by that I mean work in my room instead of in the design labs].  Hopefully I'll be back to normal come tomorrow so I can kick some ass on these killer projects that seem to be eating my soul.

Do the Bunny Hop

Well, the blog isn't even a month old yet and I'm already neglecting it.  I'm such a bad blog owner.  >.<
Being a senior in college in the final month before graduation is really taking its toll on me.  I've been crazy busy this past week with no end of the insanity in sight. 

I did take the weekend off however to go home & enjoy some Easter goodness.  The Easter bunny (aka:  my mom) was very good to me this year, getting me the movie 'Tapeheads' with my love John Cusack & 'The Informers' by Bret Easton Ellis as well as the traditional pile of chocolaty goodness.

My mom also got me this adorable bottle of perfume that I was oogling last month.  The scent is Mandarian Tea and while just this mini bottle was a tad on the expensive side, the scent was just so amazing.  Plus it's made by a company called 'Love + Toast'!  How could I not love it with a name like that?!

Well that about sums it up for now.  I hope everyone had a nice Easter.  As you can see the blog has changed slightly.  I still want to play with the layout a bit more and make a new banner but that will have to wait until after the craziness has died down a bit. 

Until then!
