scarlettsentimentalist asked: Re: tattoo. You could get it higher up on your back, closer to the middle of your back; that way it's hidden, but not trampy. I had a friend in high school who got her first tattoo there, and it looked pretty cool.

This annoys me so much, I can’t even tell you.

Looking for a Grownup Job
Is very discouraging.
How is it I had an easier time finding kickass jobs (i.e. Disney Studios) when I was still in college? That seems unfair.

libraryland:
Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow- You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within…

My New Years Resolutions
