Isn't That Refreshing




 After neglecting my blog due to a bout of laziness, I've decided that some of my posts are a bit of a downer and I need to perk things up. I like to complain a little more than I should, I'm mean, insensitive, and I can be overly pessimistic. So I try to keep myself in check. Sometimes. 
As a general guideline, I try follow a negative statement with a positive one, for the sake of balance and what-not. 
A recent example: 
I was approached at my place of work by a nice young man who politely introduced himself as Colin, said that I was gorgeous, and asked if I would consider meeting up with him for a drink after work.
I quickly replied with a stern, "Absolutely not."  
The young man looked confused, crestfallen, and then suddenly angry.
Reminding myself of my resolution to be more positive and sensitive of others' feelings, I assured him, "Don't worry, It's not that I don't like you, I'm just not attracted to white men."
Positivity and honesty -- it's a win-win.


Some obligatory updates from the last couple weeks:
  • Had my first, really fantastic Valentine's Day. Never thought I'd say that, considering most men are too afraid to indulge me in the schmaltzy, romantical stuff that is VD. You know, flowers, cards, what-have-you. Why is it so strange to men that I love flowers? For the love of god, did ya'll somehow overlook the fact that I have a huge fucking flower tattooed on my shoulder? Idiots. Anywho, my boyfriend DID get me flowers and slaved over an enormous, home-cooked dinner that was waiting for me when I got off work. It was so insanely adorable. He got pretty upset when his veggie medley/rice towers collapsed under the weight of the oozing hollandaise sauce. What a lucky girl I am.
  •  Speaking of tattoos, I got my shoulder touched up last weekend and I'm very pleased with the results. 
I've been dying to start a new sleeve for my leg, as I haven't had a new tattoo in years. Once the touch-up was finished, I decided that I needed more.
So, I showed some concept pictures and drawings to my tattoo artist, and I'm happy to report that he is presently drawing up the design for my next tattoo, which will hopefully start this summer.
