“so if I asked you about art, you’d probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written. michelangelo: you know a lot about him. life’s work, political aspirations, him and the pope, sexual orientations, the whole works, right? but I’ll bet you can’t tell me what it smells like in the sistine chapel. you’ve never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling, seen that. …you’re a tough kid. and I’d ask you about war, you’d probably throw shakespeare at me, right? “once more unto the breach dear friends.” but you’ve never been near one. you’ve never held your best friend’s head in your lap, watch him gasp his last breath looking to you for help. I’d ask you about love; you’d probably quote me a sonnet. but you’ve never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. known someone that could level you with her eyes, feeling like god put an angel on earth just for you. who could rescue you from the depths of hell. and you wouldn’t know what it’s like to be her angel, to have that love for her, be there forever, through anything, through cancer… you don’t know about real loss, cause it only occurs when you’ve loved something more than you love yourself. and I doubt you’ve ever dared to love anybody that much.”

“but I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. so I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane.”

is your tattoo finished yet ? could you maybe post a pic of it ?
Oh yeah! I can’t right now because I’m at work and that’s inappropriate haha but I willll. Something about it doesn’t quite “look finished” to me. I think it’s because I expected it to be completely filled and my artist thought my skin pigment should play a role in the coloring. In a few months I’ll probably go to get it 100% filled.
What is your favorite breed of dog?
Golden Retriever!! I love labs too since they’re what I’ve grown up with my whole life. But when I finally get my own dog I’m gonna do a goldie :)
I feel like I’m just going through the motions. Not really making any particular decisions about my life. Not making moves. Changing course. Just… moving along.
So much madness happening around me and I’m just cruising. Hmm.
