And IF everything went as I planned this post should show up on the home page

You know, I’ll be the first to admit it: I haven’t a clue about relationships between people. I am not necessarily talking about the love that is in relationships, but more so the dynamics, the inner workings of it. Don’t get me wrong; I know what I want and especially know what I do not want. I just can’t figure out why people just can’t make a clean break. Why is it that a break up has to go on and on and on?!
A person in my life has broken up, and discusses this vigorously with me, and got together with someone at least a dozen times in the span of six months. First he’s too demanding and wants a lot of things she doesn’t want. Then they get back together because he still makes her laugh – only to break up two months later for the SAME damn problem – and then the circle starts again.
And the funny part of it all? She is a people user and puts it, falsely, on her feelings. Sure, some of the feelings are real and she, like everyone, deserves someone to be happy with, but this is just insane. With the snap of a finger he comes crawling back. He lets himself get used because he doesn’t want to be alone either. Are people THAT desperate to not be alone they’ll be miserable instead?
I get it, I do. I wouldn’t want to be alone for the rest of my life, but I have enough strength in me not to be with someone just for the sake of being with someone. It would destroy me. I’d rather be alone than miserably together.
One, a study of 89 11 and 12 year-old children in several Glasgow schools, showed that in many cases, the children thought a man hitting a woman was justified if she had done something wrong. Virtually all the children thought it was acceptable to hit a woman who had been unfaithful, while 80% of them thought it was justified if she was late getting her husband’s dinner on the table.gaelick.com, How we justify abuse and rape | gaelick, Feb 2010

After watching Criminal Minds I got yet another idea for a tattoo. Yes. I am getting sick of these ideas constantly floating around in my head and I just want to get them done already.
So yes I got the idea watching Criminal Minds, but no I’m not that kind of a fan girl. This is a quote that Prentiss says at the end of last night’s episode ‘Retaliation’. It is a quote by Washington Irving: “There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief…and unspeakable love”.
For me, it just fits. I’ve always had the hardest time showing my emotions and I was not supposed to cry, because I thought I’d drown in my tears, and with the help of therapists I am overcoming that. That quote by Washington Irving just says it perfectly.
And now comes the figuring out of the where the heck I want to put it. Like I said in one of my earlier posts, I have ideas and places for most my tattoos… but some have changed a little. I will not be getting the stars and hearts on my hands on advice from the tattoo artists that it just wouldn’t look good. I might get them somewhere else though.
Right now I am going to concentrate on finding out where I want to put that quote and how it is going to look. I don’t want the simple text I want something around it, perhaps a story book, or a piece of paper or something like that. So I am going to look at a few designs on the internet, come up with my own thing and take it to the artists and see what they think of it and if it would work on a certain body part (once I figured out which body part it is going to be).
First up is getting the rosary; I am saving up for it as we speak, putting aside every pocket change that I have and, if I can spare it, 10 to 20 euro’s a month. So hopefully, by the time my birthday rolls around, I’ll be able to get the tattoo. My goal is 200 euro, so I know that I’ll be good for about 2 hours of tattooing, and I’m over the one third mark and saved about 85 euro.
I’m getting more and more excited. I’ll be going back to the shop sometime next week and get talking about a drawing and securing the date (all based on if I actually GET the money together). Like I said, I am gunning for my birthday, March 25th, and it IS a week day so they should be open. I also need to make sure that I’ll have enough time to get to therapy, since that starts at 7pm. They open at 2pm until 5:30pm, which could make for a PERFECT time since I’ll be able to get back in time for that and bring some cake too!
Only two more days and then I’ll have made it through NaBloWriMo. This is the first time I have participated in it, but I plan on doing it every time. It keeps my posting quota up and inspires me to actually sit down and write.
I had no friggin’ idea that cataloging my books was going to be SO MUCH WORK. I have a dozen books and some I want to sell and some I want to save. I am planning on making a list of everything I got so it’ll be easier to see which books from a series I still need to get.
I’m trying to find a way in which to order them, so far I’m using Excel and I hope I can find a good template for that.
Here we go again with the new look. It is basically the same, I’ve just changed around some colors and backgrounds.
This will be random, in no particular order. just what comes up in my mind.
- I finished the main part of therapy 16 November 2009.
- It seems I *will* be keeping contact with most of my group members.
- This makes me really happy.
- In fact I’ll be going to P’s birthday next Tuesday.
- I got her a GREAT present and now all there’s left is the card.
- I seriously *need* to clean out my desk … *again*
- I seriously need to fold my clean clothes and put them away
- I need to get a *good* desk lamp (makes scrapping in the evening way better to do)
- If you call me at nearly 1am in the morning… actually speak or apologize, don’t just hang up.
- I need to find a cheap way to get a new desk
- I need to sort my books and dvd’s and put them up on eBay (or MarktPlaats) to sell.
And that’s about it for now. More will come. I’m sure. Right now it is bed time.
It seems that my luck of not getting really sick is running out. Day before yesterday I felt a little tickle in my throat and I knew that it is one of the signs for me that I would be getting a sore throat. It always starts with a tickle and then if I do not get my throat lubricated, it’ll start to annoy and trust me having your throat be annoyed is NOT fun.
But it is not only the throat, it is also the tonsils that are getting annoyed. Whenever my throat gets annoyed and getting a ticklish feeling, I start to feel sick to my stomach and have the slight feeling of needing to throw up. NOT FUN.
And now I am getting a nose cold too. I’ll be going to the pharmacy tomorrow and see if I can get something for my throat and nose because the ibuprofen isn’t working at the moment.
So I just totally made it to posting every day for a month! Awesome! Started October 16th, and now it is Nov 16th.
All I need to do now is finish NaBloWriMo!
