Bunnies and Cupcakes

In December, while I was in Cape Town, Sissy phoned me and told me that she thought it would be a cool idea if we got concept tattoos of each other. I told her I agreed as I had had the same idea a few days before. So when she landed in the Mama City we missioned around tattoo parlours but ended up not getting inked in Cape Town. So finally on Friday evening, into Friday night we got our tattoos. We went to Tattoolya (where we had gone for our family tattoos). Cayla and I trust Ronald, and love the work that he does and I think holding out and going to him in the end totally was one hundred percent worth it! I have been tattooed a few times before, but I am most recognisable by the rabbit I have on my right hand wrist. My sister incorporated this into her design, a rabbit or bunny sleeping on a cupcake. I got just a cupcake. The significance of the cupcake is that I call my sister "Cake" (Cayla), and she also has an obsession with cupcakes. SO this was a no-brainer. The tattoos came out exquisitely. I am so proud of the work Ronald did! I love them.

Lyric of the Day

AFI happens to be one of my favourite bands. I know I say that about every band, but hey I even chose a design from one of their albums covers and now wear that design as a tattoo on my wrist (wow my cell takes crappy pictures).

This song also stands as a favourite. A song about frustration and friendship. Seems apt to me, sometimes a song sums up the feelings you have inside and through those simple words you are able to tell someone how you feel. I just wish sometimes that I could send a song to someone, or play it for them, and then they would have an "aha" moment. You know that shizzle Oprah talks about.

I think this could work in countless situations. "I love You, let me play you a song".

"You're a jerk, let me play you a song". "I'm heartbroken, let me play you a song". I think you get the point. Now let me play the song.

"It's the same old situation,

it seems it's coming 'round again.

I wont play the fool,

I'm not screwin' around.

I only play to win.

I only want what I deserve so who are you tryin' to kid?

No more waitin' around,

no more hangin' around,

no more draggin' me down.

no more, no more."
