First off, Happy Holidays !

My time off has started off Good yet aloof (?) Not sure how to really describe it. To prep, I bought a lot of books.. like, 16 books (all used of course). I don't know if I'll get through them all but that's my goal. It's a bit far-fetched, but a girl can dream. I also bought three bottles of red cold ones to accompany the many cookies/chocolates I received from my boys friends and coworkers. I'm glad I can do this because I remember very clearly that I was horribly sick this time last year and it sucked.

Anyways, it's the 25th now, so before I gotta be all ~new year, new me~, here are some final xmas pics courtesy of the Hudson's Bay animated display windows:

sadness is a quiet fleeting from the surface but
it dwells in the cracks of our backbones,
molds into our foundation
builds us up from the core then
crumbles. ~

Tattoo this blank canvas

I'm thinking of getting a tattoo.. just a small piece, as a first. I've always wanted a lot of somethings, like a sleeve or at least a half-sleeve, but I don't think I can commit that much of my skin due to society and idk career prospects... But actually, being in the hospital, I've seen a few professionals with open tattoos (mostly sleeves) and it's not even a big deal.

One of my favorite tattooists from Korea is coming to guest at a shop here, so maybe this will be my opportunity to get one. He does really intricate flower line tattoos. I'm thinking of getting a lotus (because I've been obsessed with NANA since forever); or a rose because you can't go wrong with a rose.

I'll let this thought marinate here.
