yeah, so i didn't study today at all. now i must do it all tomorrow and monday. lame-o.
had another fun talk with the ex today. you know, sometimes my brain just fails as a computing machine. i have known this girl for 2 or 3 years, seen her date lots of people, a few of them friends of mine, dated her myself, been dumped for what seemed like no reason at the time, and watched the way she acts with her new boyfriend. all this, and i just realized TODAY that she is scared of commitment. how the hell did i miss that? what the hell has my analytical brain been DOING?
its official folks, at the age of 20 i have pickled my brain with alcohol. that or i did too many drugs in high school. probably both.
on an unrelated subject, i totally drew up a design for a half sleeve (my usual alternative to studying) that i really really like. my original plan for the allotment of tattoos across body parts was that one arm (left) was to be about myself, and the other one (right) was to be about family, where i'm from, etc. something like that. so far the left one is correct, both are things about myself i don't want to forget when i'm old.
i HATE people who drastically change idealogically when they get older, and brush off their former beliefs with "i was a kid" or some similar excuse. i wanted to make sure that i am constantly reminded of my ideals from when i was 19, cuz i was 19 when i got both of them, or if i do get old and grow a right wing shaped tumor in my brain then i have the mark(s) of my youthful stupidity forever on me and i will live every day with regret.
anyway, since i kept with the one arm for myself, i figured i'd keep the other one for roots. and so, at long last and with much effort, i have designed my sleeve. on the outside three swallows with a banner wrapped around them that says "just an old sweet song..." and the two top ones are each holding one side of a treebranch, which wraps around my arm, and on the inside of my arm (matching the heart under my left arm!) will be a peach. a few leaves and some stars or *majesty* or something will take up some negative space and add balance. and if anyone doesn't understand the meaning is, he or she should probably be drawn and quartered. this is what i did today instead of studying.
well, at last i was productive. i could have just played halo all day.

yes! Raging Burrito in midtown is closing--but the decatur location will remain open.
I hate people that change too. I guarantee I will still be the same indie-rock vegan dork when I'm 40, getting pissed off at George Bush the 18th for fucking up the world. Everyone that says you have to grow up and be pragmatic is just giving in to their cynical side, and I hope that never happens to me. Or you!
The tattoo sounds awesome, be sure to post pics when you get em.
Also- I used to work at the Raging Burrito in Decatur! Its like a block from my house! (Maybe I've even served you before?)
