see relatedTattoo Reasoning
Recently, I've been questioned a few times about the fact that I want to have more tattoos (I already have one).
I feel that every one of my planned tattoos has deep, personal significance as well as intent to place them in a way that works well with my body. I am NOT someone who gets tattoos just because "I saw a picture and thought it would be pretty". That being said, here are my planned tattoos:
"Peace" (text)Placement - Planned behind my right ear, in the hairline.
Meaning - I find it a little difficult to explain this one to a mixed crowd, but suffice it to say that this is a word that has been spoken over my life countless times. I struggled with it for the better part of a year as I didn't really understand what it meant, yet it kept popping up. Then, I actually had someone say to me that they loved being around me because my presence made them feel peaceful (not verbatim, but I didn't write it down). All at once, it clicked and I realized that I could bring peace to others and would love any opportunity to do so. Since then, I've had many people reaffirm what my friend had said.
ETA - This November, around Thanksgiving.
The Wisdom tri-force from Legend of Zelda with possible accompanying scripture reference. (design)Placement - The back of my right hand. Possibly going to be done in white ink, but I still have research to do. It's not meant to be immediately obvious.
Meaning - This is something that I intend to have done as a shared experience with my closest brother, who is also one of my best friends. It's difficult to explain what this means to us or the brother/sister bond, but suffice it to say that it would mean a great deal to the both of us.
ETA - This is mostly dependent upon my brother. He has not yet decided whether or not he wants to get a permanent tattoo, but this is what he's going to get if he does (as far as I know). I will not get the tattoo without him, as it would be meaningless. Either way, I plan on being in Nebraska when I get it, which won't be until Christmastime, at the earliest. There's no rush as I don't want him to do anything he would regret.
Angel Wings (design)Placement - On my back. I have not yet decided on whether to do full wings or a smaller pair, but I do want the shading to be done in light blue. Man, this one's gonna hurt!
Meaning - I have been planning on getting these for over ten years. The meaning has increased over time, so explanation is difficult, but I believe it started in that a nickname of mine used to be "Angel". I want to hide names of my loved ones (family) among the feathers. It's not overt, but I think it's a nice way to pay them some tribute.
ETA - I don't have much of an idea on when this will happen because I intend to get it after I'm married. After all, I'm going to need someone to hold my hand through all of that pain.
"I have chosen the way of Truth... for You have set my heart free." (text)Placement - On my upper back, above my angel wings. (Possibly subject to change, but most likely placement.)
Meaning - This is my life verse and speaks to my testimony and relationship with God. It's too much to explain here, but it has a lot to do with the reason I'm even still alive.
ETA - Since I'm currently planning on getting it above my wings, the plan is to get it after/when I get those. I don't want either tattoo to interfere with the other.
Unknown text/designPlacement - This has yet to be decided. I'm very purposeful about where I place my tattoos and the design of this one hasn't been fully ironed out.
Meaning - This is a twin tattoo that my best friend and I are planning. She is truly a Godsend to me, and I am looking forward to being friends with her for the rest of my life. We are considering text from a song, but are taking our time with the planning.
ETA - Possibly as early as November, but not definite.
There they are, my tattoos. I probably will get one or more with my husband when I'm married someday. So, we'll see if more are added or not. Please feel free to ask me any further questions as they occur to you.

The Office: Season Four
By Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, B.J. Novak
see relatedWhere have I been?
Why, in the City, meeting GreekPhysique, of course.
This started out as a blog to post the few pictures we took, but now I'm nervous... I might get caught up in writing something that I don't have time to write.
Where have I been?- Working, mostly.
- Working out a little. (More before I hurt my knee. Hopefully more again soon.)
- Actually having a social life.
- Working through a lot in counseling.
- Being a little surprised, flattered, and... confused by guys starting to show interest in me.
- Growing my hair out.

- Playing my new game, Okami, but that's only been since last Friday.
- Too much Sudoku. It's good for your brain, but perhaps not to the point I've taken it.
- Watching The Office, Seasons 1-4 (I got them on sale at Target for $80 for all four seasons.)
- Twitttering quite often. If you Twitter, I'm Eilis_Angelos. PS Josh Groban just got one.

- Getting ready to go to my sister's wedding in the beginning of July.
- Having my credit card info stolen.
- Not taking enough pictures.
- Starting a quilt made out of t-shirts that I don't wear anymore.
- Trying to become less of a procrastinator.
- Not reading nearly enough.
- Attempting to straighten out my seriously screwed up sleep cycle.
John took this one. I just have to say, it was quite warm out.
But what you have to understand is...
I'M the one who has mastered the art of arm's-length pictures.
Just trying for a cool pose but... that car in the shot is kinda nifty.
Here is my attempt at a good pose. Yeah or Nay?
I'm sorry, I really should post more about the actual visit, but my sleep has been really out of whack lately and I need to try to get to bed.
Much love! I'll try to post more.
- Working, mostly.

Xanga TV tonight?
Hey friends,
I know the weekend is usually pretty slow, but I figured I'd do some Xanga TV later this evening, if anyone is interested. If you're interested, I'd appreciate your input.
What time would you like? I'm thinking about 8 or 9EST.
Do you have any song requests? I'm serious. I love to sing and would be happy to sing for you. Actually, you probably won't be able to avoid it.
What questions do you have for me? I accidentally missed a couple last time. Is there anything you'd like to know about me? Or, if you're feeling more general, I could give you my opinion on something, etc. As many of my friends already know, I have strong opinions on good hugs.
PS Hope you don't mind the usertags. I just tagged people who I thought might be interested. Let me know if they bother you.

My haiku for today:
Don't stop being you.You think you're not what they want.
You're extraordinary.I like it. I think I'll try to write some more. I want to get back into writing, especially songs. I have so much running around my head right now. I'm a little afraid to put it out there for others to see. A new brand of "real" for me.
