beck and i got tattoos. we freaking rule. pictures to follow... ;)

so these are the tattoos that i'm thinking of... i like the butterflies (if i got a butterfly it'd be in the small of my back), but i also like the idea of a small cancer symbol or moon off to the side on my lower back....
butterfly 1
butterfly 2
butterfly 3
cancer symbols

I was just stretching and I decided to see if I could put my leg behind my head and I can only I kinda got it stuck there for a second and that would've been pretty embarrassing if I couldn't get it unstuck.

so i think one of my neigbors is smoking pot... there seemed to be the smell of it coming in my window... just like when i used to live at school... my downstairs neighbors smoked pot all the time, and my room always smelled of it... so i was just sitting there now watching tv thinking, hmm... smells like first semester freshman year...

check out the lawnmower tattoo near the bottom of this page... :)

so beck got me thinking about tattoos... she sounds like she's definately getting one, and she sent me a link to tattoodles where she found some pretty cool looking celtic designs (she liked the ones in celtic p13 and 15). I looked at the ones she liked (pretty hella cool), and i started looking around trying to pick what i'd get if i was going to get a tattoo.. i always thought that one on the small of my back would be cool... it's a good spot. completely nonvisable in a professional setting, but when you want it to be seen, it's not hard to show it off. and really, the concept of me having a tattoo would probably really shock people, and i love that. i realize that the impression that i give off when i don't know people very well is that i'm shy and nice. and that's true, to an extent :) i am shy. but lately, i've been getting over that. and i'm nicer than most people, when i want to be... coming off as sweet and innocent has always worked for me... but i love surprising people when i bust out with something that they completely thought i'd never say/do/etc. i've even been surprising myself lately... like with actually wanting a tattoo... i really like the tribal butterfly designs found on tattoodles tribal section pages 6, 21, and 24. i can't decide which one i like the most though... check 'em out and leave me feedback...
(song of the moment: cheap trick "i want you to want me")

beh. finally finished with the paper. so glad to be done with that so i can goof off again... actually, i have something due for tomorrow evening, but hey, I have all day tomorrow to take care of that, don't I?

soyeah... this weekend was pretty cool. got to go out friday night (to the parting glass in saratoga) and had a good time... beck and i went with her brother (alex) and their friends steve (a state trooper) and (matt) neary. the drinks were good, but i'm not all that into irish music... alex and i had that white stripes song, hotel yorba (1,2,3,4, take the elevator at the hotel yorba i'll be glad to see you later, all they got inside is vacancy) stuck in our heads all night (it was on in the car on the way to steve's) but we didn't know all the words so we'd just start singing it periodically and bouncing our heads around and beck would get all weirded out cause she didn't know that song... the next night i played it for her so she could get it stuck in her head too, i'm such a good friend... it's such an insidious song, you can completely forget it and then all of a sudden it pops back in there and doesn't leave... afterwards we stopped by the troop station to take breathalizer tests. i can't believe cops do shit like that in their off time... :) so kinda supertroopers... soyeah... breathalizers sound like those wierd whistle toys that you used to get as prizes at fair games... it's just too funny that they sound that weird, i'd freakin crack up so bad if i was ever really given one (i mean, they know you're drunk when they're giving it too you anyway...) so after we confirmed that we were drunk we went to steve's house... i didn't get much sleep that night...

i didn't sleep when i got home either so i was really out of it pretty much all day saturday... beck, alex and i went to the fireworks that evening in halfmoon (it was 'halfmoon day'), which were pretty cool... the fair part was pretty lame. they had some weird game where they put a rat on a flat wheel with a bunch of colored holes around the outside of it. then they spun the wheel while the rat was covered with a basket and let the rat out midspin. then the rat would wonder around the table until he found a hole he liked and crawled in... the point of the game was that people bet on the color of the hole that the rat would climb in. what a weird carnie game. beck was pretty offended for the rat. she said she was going to call the aspca on the carnie, but alex pointed out that she probably saved that rat from medical testing and i said that the rat is her entire livlihood, so no action was taken :) afterwards we went to starbucks for a round of caramel machiattas and then went to my parents' house (where i was spending the night) to watch supertroopers. that movie is just too freaking funny. it was the first time beck had seen it, and she loved it also, and now she owns a copy...

soyeah, sunday i went to a pancake breakfast that beck's fire company was having to laugh at her being a waitress but she wasn't waitressing so i couldn't laugh... her grandmother made applesauce for the breakfast, and it was hella good.... then i went up to fresno's to meet the usual sunday group for lunch and afterwards went to crossgates where i almost forgot about bringing my dad to the airport so he could go to saudi arabia... had to speed home and pick up my dad... we had to stop at staples on the way to the airport so he could pick up a graphing calculator for his friend in saudi's son (apparently those calculators are much more expensive over there) and when my dad asked the guy at the counter for it he looked at me and said, "For high school?" how annoying. that guy not only thought that i was in high school, but that i had to bring my dad along with me to staples to help me buy a calculator. eww. i mean, come on. i know i'm kinda young looking, but i don't think i really look like i'm still in high school. and eww, if i had to buy a calculator, i wouldn't need my dad to help me >:(

soyeah, after i dropped my dad off i swung back by clifton park and picked becky up and we drove around for a while listening to my just recorded hella good minidisc. has all great songs on it. including puddle of mud's "she hates me." that song just freaking kicks my ass. i don't know why i love it entirely... maybe because it's kinda refreshing for some guy in a song to be all distracted by the fact that he got dumped. or maybe it's because he says 'she fucking hates me' and it sounds cool... i dunno. anyway, i love that song...

must stop wasting time. must work on shit for school or will fail.

dammit. internet quizzes are an addiction. i can't believe i've been sitting here for like, an hour wasting time on them when i've got so much work to do!!

Here is the result of your Weirdness Purity Test.
You answered "yes" to 30 of 116 questions, making you 74.1% weirdness pure (25.9% weirdness corrupt).
According to the scoring guide, your weirdness experience level is:
Quirky - In a somewhat disturbing way.

I can't believe that they think quoting lines from popular movies and shows in normal conversation is weird...

still doing nothing productive. i got a tie on the "which carebear are you" quiz. that's kinda annoying...

See what Care Bear you are. See what Care Bear you are.

soyeah... still taking internet quizzes instead of doing my work. and really, i figured it out, and i don't think there's any way i'm going to finish this book in time. i suck so much.....

the last test i just took was long and wordy, but it told me that i'm a benevolent ruler: Your distinct personality, The Benevolent Ruler might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. You are the idealistic social dreamer. Your overriding goal is to solve the people problems of your world. You are a social reformer who wants everyone to be happy in a world that you can visualize. You are exceptionally perceptive about the woes and needs of humankind. You often have the understanding and skill to readily conceive and implement the solutions to your perceptions. On the positive side, you are creatively persuasive, charismatic and ideologically concerned. On the negative side, you may be unrealistically sentimental, scattered and impulsive, as well as deviously manipulative. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms.

It's kinda sick that I enjoy that it says that I'm deviously manipulative...

beck emailed me the link to this quiz:

You are Spaceman Spiff! Zounds! You are the intrepid Spaceman Spiff, the engaging explorer ensconsed in an unending universe of exotic and evil extraterrestrials! You're brave, but you should give that dictionary a rest. Take the What Calvin are You? Quiz by contessina_2000@yahoo.com!

we were both spaceman spiff :) i should really be working on shit for school... i'm so good at not doing work. if there was a job in which you had to rationalize your way out of doing work, i'd be excellent at it.

1,2,3,4 take the elevator
at the hotel yorba
i'll be glad to see you later
all they got inside is vacancy.
