OK since I am older and meaner I will claim that I thought of the Serenity Logo tattoo first. It will be my story and I am sticking to it. I came home from the movie, saw the logo on the computer and told my kids I was getting one. I just need to get rid of this 20 pounds of prednisone weight and the 150 pounds of A weight that is the ex and I will be on the way to the tattoo parlor.

NV - I really dislike tattoos that can be seen in polite society - mine are on the small of my back and my hip. I do not mean to offend anyone - but I hate seeing a really nicely dressed girl in a fancy outfit with a huge tatto on her sholder or somewhere visible. It just doesn't sit right. I also, btw HATE sleaves on men. Its too much! I think every tattoo should have a meaning and I just can't see that there is a meaning to all 400 on a mans arms.

Now you will all think I am a fuddy duddy.

FMF_ um I think if you use the word fuddy duddy it automatically makes you one:) Just kidding hon...now you know we'd all be happy to help you with that 150 extra pound ex..I bet if we hit it hard enough it'll fall off and die:) Hey I think it was the simultaneous impulse of 2 intelligent, charmins, fabulous women...we should sync up and get them on the same day or something:)
CK- I'm so impressed that you can sew. I always wanted to be able to sew. I took a sewing class in school and after sewing my hair ( at the time waist length) into a waistband and then attempting a pair of shorts and coming up with a complete waistband and both legs on one side...I've given up! As for the chest thing...Since I've had these since 7th grade( oh holy hell that was 1987) when I weighted 90 pounds and I still have them even though I lost 120 pounds I'm kinda done with mine, but I figure if they work for you...go for it. Oh and out of curiosity have you ever had people assume you've had implants? I once had a woman I had never met come up to me and say "oh hon don't you know how dangerous those implants are?" Wanted to smack her!

They sure are!

FMF: I don't think you're a fuddy duddy...especially since you're younger than me! I do agree on the tats. I've never been overly fond of them, but especially the public ones...male or female!

MSG- Bullet bike and expresso lip gloss. Hmmmm? That won't be leaving my mind for a bit.

CK- What kinda health problems are we talking about? Don't mean to pry, just concerned for my fellow BROWNCOATS.

FMF- You in no way bear any likeness to Elmer Fudd. (Giggles) I have to keep my pieces under wraps working in a facility with teens and all. Some sleeves are good and some are bad. It is all about taste and artistic expression. I must say that alot of the trainings and conferences I attend have alot of folks wearing long pants, long skirts, and long sleeved shirts. Alot of these folks are revered doctors and lawyers and working professionals. Kinda strange to see these people relaxing in another setting with a mix of elegant color and old street gang tat's.

FMF, I agree with you. Anything done to excess doesn't always sit right with me.

When I was on the high school swim team, Alex Bauman was swimming for Canada in the Olympics (Now I show just how old I am). He had a Fleur de Lis (french thing) tattoo on his pec. I wanted to get a maple leaf. Still to date toy with the idea. But I'm not 17 anymore, while I'm still in decent shape, I'm not sure if I'm "too old" for it now. Plus I'm not keen on shaving my chest all the time.

Now I'm being the fuddy duddy...

I didn't get one until 1996. I figured I was old enough at that point. So age isn't the issue. If you want one, then get it. But remember, it never goes away! Even if you have it lasered, the tattoo will still be there in the skin, it just won't have color. Dang, a Fleur de lis sounds cool!

then put it on your back Safe:) I don't think you can be too old for a tattoo..'sides it's not like you're 90:) You're not even old silly;)
NV- yeah I always love it when we get grown ups at our school doing a tour or wanting to see our programs and they end up mixing or talking to one of my wild kids..the contrast is cute ( as is the slightly fearful look on the grown up's face)

Not...fuddy...why does everyone have tattoos but me?

Oh, the 14 thing. Right.

On surgery: I suffer from a common birth deformity which causes my chest to dome inwards, creating an odd little pocket of incredibly hard bone. Occassionally handy, usually a nuisance, as It drives me away from swimming and other shirtless activities. It is gone as soon as possible.

On this morning: Well, I did it. Picked up a nasty scratch from flipping that gorram go-se quad (its actually pretty dashing, so I shouldn't complain!) but I did manage to get to her house.

Nothing particularly earth-shattering happened. I got to her house at some ungodly hour (was late, actually, on account of the Baja)and talked to her, about pretty much everything from two years ago to the present. Then I told her everything I'd felt for the last two years.

Didn't laugh, which is good. Didn't do the 'here's a stalker back away,' which is better. She was kind of buffaloed, apparently having no clue of it.

After the nostalgia-confession, just sat on the lawn and said nothing. After a half-hour of comfortable silence, she started to talk.

Told me she didn't feel the same, but that I'm still a friend, and then I left.

So, didn't go half as bad as I thought it would.

Questions, comments, queries? Alright, back to tattooes!

Yep, I've lost weight and mine haven't budged either, hehe. I've lost 25 lbs since my husband and I got together (mostly by eating healthier in an attempt to make *him* lose weight, but that hasn't seemed to work, lol, and these last 10lbs have been due to illness), so now I'm 5'2", 110lbs, with 30FFs. We moved to southern California a few years ago, so between the way I'm built and living in the implant capital of the world, I'm pretty certain that everyone thinks they're fake, hehe. The funny thing is, I was asked about it *before* we moved down here but not once since. Implants are just so normal here, no one thinks to ask. However, doctors do like to ask me twice if I've ever had surgery, lol. Hard not to just give 'em the old

My mom started teaching me to sew when I was 8, and I'm glad she did. It's come in handy for making my own swimsuits and formal dresses, but my real love is making costumes! I haven't made a Firefly outfit yet, but I've got sketches lying around, hehe.

Oh and health problems -- autoimmune diseases mostly. I have thyroid disease, and another they're still trying to diagnose. Lot of joint pain, mostly hips and knees, for about 2.5 years now. They've ruled out arthritis in the joints and any neurological causes, so now they're looking at autoimmune diseases that cause inflammation in the base of the spine. I'm on a pile of prescriptions for all the different aspects of this, and I walk with a cane when I get really run down. My doctors are really careful about changing anything about my set up for fear that it'll aggravate this disease (they won't give me the flu shot because they're afraid it will make my over-aggressive immune system flip out again and attack something new), so surgery for breast reduction has to be put on hold. At this point I just want a diagnosis, so I know what I'm dealing with and what the long-term prognosis is.

But I really can't complain. Other than this health thing, my life is pretty sweet. I married a great guy, have a job that I love (working for my dad, no less!), and we just bought a place here in SoCal, so even the weather is good. My entire family are Browncoats (all nine of us, I kid you not -- though we're going to have to work on my brother's fiancée) and I'm close with all of them. Things are really really good. I just have some pain and get run down in the evenings, so I have to take it easy and sometimes walk with a cane. Things could be much, much worse. But thanks for your concern. :)
