Pictures...

Little impromptu photo shoot last night in my room...did a lot of creating last night...until 3:00am.  Had an amazing ballet class...poured sweat...did a perfect triple pirouette which ain't bad considering my 5 year hiatus and came home full of energy and ideas. I couldn't stop and the more I created the more ideas came and then it was 3:00am and I couldn't make my brain stop. Now my body hurts...but have dance class tonight and dinner with friends so gotta suck it up! I'm excited to get my hair cut tomorrow! Dance is making me so happy right now, everything feels good, I can feel my body changing remembering more and more with each class and shrinking. I am having to get a whole new wardrobe! I have 3 bags of clothes on my floor right now to sell/give away. It got to the point where I literally was holding my pants up with a belt...and then I decided OK guess it's time to invest in some new pants...size 29 waist baby! That's a big deal for me not just one random pair of pants but all pants fit me that size...some 28...yeah that's nice! I would like to loose 10 more pounds but just want to get in shape more than anything. 5 would be nice ;) Hope you like the pics! xo

Sometimes I can't sleep...

Boys need not apply...

Yeah it's like that...

Don't push me I'm not ok...

 

I've got your heart on a chain...

I don't play nice...

   

You're not the only one...

New Love...

Ciao bella's! Sigh....oh yeah I'm supposed to be blogging not staring longingly at this picture...right...oh and don't kill me mom I'm your first born! My newest tattoo...my newest love an art piece by the amazingly talented TARA MCPHERSON.  Discovered her art a couple years ago at the San Diego Comic Con...I love finding new illustrators there! I fell in love instantly and my sister bought a print of this piece. I was thinking of getting it for a while and the time was now! It turned out perfect. Thanks to Chummy at Temple Tattoo in Oakland California who hooked me up! I'm soooooo freaking excited about this tattoo! I can't wait to get more!  I think I will get 3 more this year one really big one for....you guessed it...Dirty Thirty...I'm working on the art for it right now. I'm also contemplating a new piercing...just contemplating...though the urge to run out and get it is strong...trying to subside those Gemini urges. Deep breath mom, everything is going to be OK...(remember you love me)...And now my new favorite quote...casse-pied...little hellbreaker in French...xo

Dirty Thirty...

Yes it's true my Dirty Thirty is approaching....not until the end of May but I have started to celebrate my significant birthday a bit early. I was lucky enough to receive a nice sized tax return and since it's been almost 2 years since my ipod was stolen from me I gave myself an early Dirty Thirty present...a new black 30 GB ipod engraved with Dirty Thirty and my Birth date. New love...it's hard to choose between the ipod and my newest tattoo, they are both awesome presents to me! This morning on the bus to work having Team Dresch drown out the crack head next to me made me so very happy. I would say an ipod is key to life survival in general but especially living in a metropolitan area and on public transportation it makes it much easier to ignore idiots! It's self preservation and it's nice to have a soundtrack to walk to. It will be so nice to take it to the park and read while listening to music. As music is a gigantic part of my life, the absence of my ipod was very difficult. It may seem self indulgent to start giving yourself presents 3 months prior to your actual birthday but hey you only turn 30 once and this year is all about me. Yep, I want to be self indulgent, it's about time I do that, spoil myself a bit because no-one else is going to do it! Now to work on my designs for the other 2 tattoos I want to get before my birthday....

Extra Extra!
