kevin took me to the chester zoo at 10 a.m. and we walked around for hours in the fairly-nice weather until just before closing time. there was a Batcave (which was actually a HUGE warehouse-like room) there where you walked in and it was really dark with reddish and blueish lights in the ceiling. you could see bats flying around everywhere and touching down on...

i got myself an etsy.com account that i'm going to use to sell my bones paintings and whatever else i end up making. i've been toying with the idea of an online store for a long time, but i never had enough stuff to have actual "stock", nor did i really get the hang of organizing a storefront and that type of thing. plus, etsy...

i ended up taking out my right nipple ring yesterday. after the jewelry was changed in it, it seemd to have moved a lot further down than before and it was putting stress on the bottom of the nipple. after a week, the bottom half of the nipple was growing significantly pinker/redder, so i decided to retire it.

i was worried that taking it out...

since my MA assessment is coming about soon, i've been working in after effects with my footage, scans, etc. to try and work out how to convey observation of the detail and 'magic' of nature to a viewer. it's actually really hard to figure out if stuff is only interesting to me, or whether it would indeed have a shot at being attractive to someone...

i got my nipples pierced on thursday. they mostly look perfect and clean and should be giving me no reason to worry.

i am seriously trying to stop worrying. hopefully, my boobs will not be falling off without my knowledge...
