omg grilled cheese!

via

so i think i sorta touched on this before, but i randomly get these pregnant lady level cravings for certain types of food.  lately it's been grilled cheese.  i got one on saturday night when we were out drinking.  it was pretty amazing.  partly because i had drunk munchies, and partly just because it tasted really good.  and to make that even better, i was allowed to bring it back inside the bar and properly enjoy it with a rum and coke.  but instead of making my grilled cheese craving go away, it just made it worse.  and now i want one again.  and i will totally creeper stare at someone like this girl is if it means it will cause them to make me a grilled cheese.  i have no problem with making someone uncomfortable enough that they cave in and do what i want.  who cares if it makes them think i'm weird?  i just got a free sandwich out of it.  totally worth it.

sketch number two

so it's almost time.  only eleven days until i get me tattoo.  got the second sketch from shad today (you can see the first sketch here).  getting a lot closer now.  pretty happy with the overall body position.  only thing i asked him to change was the tail.  i want it to be loose, not against the body of the horse.  and really long and flowy.  but this is a good idea of what the overall positioning is going to be.  next he's going to do an outline of the water color pattern.  can't wait to see how that turns out.

high five! sorta

so the cheese blarg is having another little contest.  this time you were to submit a picture of an animal high five.  the preference was for a drawing, but since i can't draw animals all that great, and i do have this super spiffy cool camera, i figured i would go for the taking of a picture option.  honestly, i think it would have been easier to just try and draw the stupid cat.  trying to get a cat to high five you is not as easy as it sounds.  and it doesn't even really sound that easy to begin with.  the end result sorta looks more like my cat trying to desperately eat my fingers in an attempt to get at the treat that i was using to bribe her more than it looks like a high five, but whatever.  i should at least get a b+ for effort.*

* b+ because i cheated and used the auto setting on my camera

first sketch

so i got some rough sketches from shad today.  doesn't really have much in way of the style of the tattoo, since he is making sure he gets the positioning right before he starts on that.  i'm liking the legs of the one on the right and the head position of the one on the left, and probably moving the back legs and rear end higher up to make a more dramatic angle.  i can't wait to get it done!  i'll post more pics as i get them, and of course there will be pic of the finished product.  so excited!  squeeeeeeee!

to see some of shad's work (that is more interesting than my foot) check out traditional tattoo on facebook or on their website. 

plan two

so plan one for taking over the world involved slowly and methodically infecting everyone with my cooties and then finding a way to make said cooties turn on everyone and force them to do pretty much anything i said.  so far, that's not working out so great.  so i came up with plan two.  which, very simply put, is boobs.  more specifically, my boobs.  because lately, they've been looking pretty damn awesome.  and so far they have got me way more things than cooties ever did.  like cheap and/or free drinks, faster service from bartenders, free things in WoW, the interest of guys i want to take home with me, the interest of girls who i might take home with me if i have about three more drinks, and so on and so fourth. over all, i think boobs will be a much more effect way of becoming supreme world leader.  and it allows me the opportunity to have accomplices.  i may be the only one who has my cooties, but way more people out there have boobs.  this is turning out to be a way better plan than the cooties one.  now if only i can find a way to make this work on gay guys. 

 

oh and i call that my "free drink shirt."  think you can figure out why?

too good to pick up shit

so my local craigslist had an ad posted for "ranch helper wanted."  seeing as how i know how to do most of the shit that goes on on a ranch, i figured i should check it out.  the ad stated that they wanted someone to clean stalls, do turn outs, and other general barn chores for a few hours each weekend and they would pay $10.00 per hour.  oh and that they wanted someone who had horse experience.  so i'm thinking this is great, i have free time on weekends and i have tons of horse experience, this would be a good way to make some extra cash.  so i send them a copy of my "horse resume" and figure good things will come of this.    apparently not.  in response i got an e-mail that stated "i am afraid you are far too qualified for this position.  we are just looking for a weekend ranch help and it would only be for two hours each time you come.  i hope that you find a bigger ranch which can offer you better opportunities."  apparently i'm too good to pick up shit.  le sigh.  i really could have used the extra cash.  oh and the other ranch that i had applied to back in november that said i had "the perfect amount of experience" at my interview but then never called me back posted an ad again.  i just don't get it.

updates!

so yeah i fail at regular updates lately, so this post is just going to be one massive update.  first off, vegas was FUCKING AMAZING!!!!  in fact, we loved it so much that we are going back again in september.  the borderline alcoholic side of me loved that it is socially acceptable and even encouraged to walk down the street at 9:00 am with a yard long margarita.  i'm pretty sure i did enough drinking to last me until my birthday, which is good because i probably won't be able to drink until then anyway.  but i just have to say that the big girl side of vegas is just too much fun.  i did get a lot of free or almost free drinks by acting like i was going to gamble and then cashing out when i only spent like $0.50.  i finally got to see the fountains at belagio, the volcano at the mirage, and the new version of the treasure island pirate show.  the only time i got carded was if i was buying alcohol in a store, so apparently i'm old now.  there was an awesome fireworks show on new year's eve.  eight different hotels on the strip shot fireworks off their roofs.  i got to the point where i was swimming drunk, and if you don't know what i mean by that, it's probably a good thing. so that's my sweeping generalization of an awesome weekend.  as always, pics are here.  and no, i did not get married while i was there. 

as for other updates, i collected on my christmas gift from my guy and got the monroe piercing.   i'm super happy with how it turned out.  and honestly, the initial piercing didn't hurt at all.  because ed is amazing.  only reason that it's sore now is because i talk a lot at my job, so it's constantly moving.  i didn't tell my mom about it for like three days because i thought she would flip out, but despite herself she actually likes how it looks on me.  i can't wait until next month when i can take this stud out and pop a little fake diamond in there. 

more to look forward to next month: it's my birthday on the fourth.  which means i'll be even older.  to help myself cope with the emotional pain of getting old, i will be having physical pain inflicted upon my skin.  which means yes, i am finally getting a new tattoo.  this is my birthday gift to myself.  for the few people who don't already know, i will be getting a chinese style horse on my left rib cage, which is to be done by shad over at traditional tattoo.   had my consult appointment with him over the weekend, and i'm beyond stoked about getting it done.  don't worry, i will be posting plenty of pics.

so i think that catches you all up with the major updates.  oh except for this one: having a runny nose fucking sucks balls.  and not in the good way.
