needles and jane fonda shudders...
hi. so i finally completed and submitted my freelance application for the local restaurant review thing. it wasn't my best work, but i needed to get it in. wish me luck. =) how was everyone's weekend?
favorite word of the day: gymnasium. the word gymnasium is derived from the combining form gymno-, meaning nude or bare (in ancient greece, they did train in their birthday suits). i'm thinking we should start taking a retro approach to our workouts, yes? (a portion of this was taken from wordsmith.org's a.word.a.day e-newsletter.)
day twenty-five. tats.
so i'm supposed to show and tell or talk about why or why not as far as tattoos go. unfortunately i don't have anything to show you today. i've always kinda wanted something. well, a few somethings. but let's face it -- i have commitment issues. and i'd really have to be sure about what and where. i've always liked the triquetra, or perhaps some stylization of the symbol for the deathly hallows (quite similar to the triquetra). but so far i've just settled for a triquetra necklace. at one point i wanted to get "expecto patronum." and lately i've been thinking about something to do with the four elements, and no, not because of "the last airbender," though i did love that cartoon. but i'm not sure. at this point i probably never will, but who knows. piercings, however, are a different story. i don't have any yet, but i really want to get the upper auricle on my right ear pierced. higher than what's shown in that link, between the auricle and the pinna. but i can't because i still give plasma, and not only would they defer me for a year for getting a new piercing, they'd also defer me permanently for being a gay. because we all have aids. that's the one place in my life where i'm not out. sucks.
