I'm already starting to think that getting a SG membership was a bad idea. I'm already disillusioned with college enough as it is; I don't need additional distractions. Case in point: last night I had to write a paper for my Lesbian Cultures class, and I didn't finish it until 4am because I kept getting distracted by naked women. Then I slept through class because I was up so late, so I didn't get to turn in my paper anyway. That's irony for you, on several different levels.

Monday night I saw Kanye West in concert. Awesome experience. I used to not like Kanye very much, because I thought he was too trendy. He was the hot new college kid thing, and I didn't really go for that kind of thing. But then I actually listened to his new CD because my girlfriend adores him, and he's actually a really good artist. He has a lot to say, which is important to me. There are some people out there with a lot of style but nothing at all to say (50 Cent, for example). True hip-hop ARTISTS are hard to come by. But anyway, he put on a really good show. He did all of the songs from the new album and a good number of songs from the first album too. I think our next concert is going to be Gwen Stefani and Ciara in December.

I'm itching to get my first tattoo... but I just got the eyebrow pierced a month ago. I think I should let it sit for a while, you know, wait until I get bored with my appearance again. I already know what the design is going to be. It'll be the word "unfound" in a circle in the middle of my back, above the shoulderblades but not quite on the neck. It means a lot of things, and the circle has significance as well. I picked the word because it is what is written on the door in The Dark Tower by Stephen King. It is about rebirth and the nature of time and space and cosmic irony and untouched potential, and just a lot of amorphous things that I can't really explain if you haven't read the book. But yeah, it is perfect for me.

I know where I want to get my second tattoo, and I know what I want it to mean, but I haven't come up with a design yet. I'm going to get it on the inside of my left arm, where I was cutting myself a while back. I want to cover up the scars, because I'm over that part of my life. I want it to mean something along the lines of 'live your life, don't stay in harmful situations, always keep yourself and your happiness your number one priority,' but I don't know what kind of word/image I can use to say that. I guess I have a while before I have to worry about it.
