lego Hallie Berrie cat-woman has a wardrobe malfunction
You hoping to see Hally Berry's LEGO pegs, eh?
You have to beat the game 47,000 times to see the wardrobe maulnfunction
It's 5 am. I can't sleep, but I'm not quite awake. I'm in a stupor listening to the Flobots on really high volume through my headphones.
Tell us more about the directions you were thinking of for your tattoo... How much (or how little) of what we saw in that CERN image were you thinking of using? Do you favor color or just black ink?thestrangequark said:
A couple years ago I spent more than a month learning elvish so I could translate a phrase for a friend's newest tattoo. It was interesting seeing it written out in tengwar. And of course the last thing I wanted to do was get it wrong.
Dude, I'm trying to be motivated by free-thinking-intellectual-political-alternative-activist hip-hop here, and imagine how much of a relief it'll be if Obama wins, and envisioning the day when the pharmacy can't charge me $250 -- half the cost of my rent -- for the medicine I need to be alive, and you want to talk about sex. Sheesh.^I can think of ways to tire you out.
You know I love you.One thing I'm certain of is that I want color, and the other thing I'm certain of is that I want to use it to bring the two tats I have already into a single, coherent piece. I don't like the look of random tattoos all over, with no theme or style or grace. I have a hummingbird of my own design on the front of my left shoulder and a treble clef on my left upper arm. I want to use the bubble chamber image to bring the two together.
I'm going to be pretty faithful to the image, and other bubble chamber images, and adjust it only to fit the shape of my body (I am very particular about my tattoos fitting with the shape and form of my body, and not being random blots). I'm going to stick with the clean lines, I think, but I'm going to talk to my artist about it. I'm an artist, but I draw -- I know what looks good on paper, she knows what looks good on skin.
As for the color, my current tats are both a steelish grey, with a lot of depth, using blue, black, and white. I've long wanted a teal blue, so I'm definitely going to have some of that. I may incorporate black to help with the impression that the three tats are one piece, but it won't be just black lines. The other color I've been thinking on is brown. I wouldn't use all brown, just like I wouldn't use all black, but I like the idea of using a brown that's similar to my freckles -- something that almost looks natural to my body. I can't afford it right now, so I have plenty of time to think on it.
I don't know if that helps in the visualizing process.
That's brilliant! Only a nerd and a good friend would do that.A couple years ago I spent more than a month learning elvish so I could translate a phrase for a friend's newest tattoo. It was interesting seeing it written out in tengwar. And of course the last thing I wanted to do was get it wrong.

Who said anything about sex ? I was going to suggest going for a run.
Sorry to hear about your medicine. I will try to resist commenting on the, frankly barbaric, American healthcare "system".
You'll be sad, because I'm going to post a topless picture now!
Okay, I did put my nightie back on for the second one.
Well, you can't see anything but my tattoos.
Which is what I wanted to show in hope that they'll help make better sense of my lengthy description of what I want to do to them. Oh, and they look better in person -- I took the pics with my webcam, in poor lighting:
You know what's funny? The first thing I wrote was ...and you want to talk about running a marathon.

It's pathetic, huh? My mother had to go bankrupt after my diagnosis with diabetes at 12 and the subsequent 2 week hospitalisation.
No, they look good... and I definitely get the idea of what you were saying about them having depth by using multiple colors. The humming bird is exquisite! And I know how the cost is such a limiting factor... I paid a little over $100 for mine back in '97, and it isn't anywhere near as elaborate as yours.Well, you can't see anything but my tattoos.
One of the beautiful aspects of the CERN image you posted was the bleeding of colors, so it is understandable why you wouldn't want to limit the design to strictly the lines. That would remove the organic feel.

^ Those look great, tsq!
You know, I've been trying to design a tattoo where I could have a triad, music staff, and open palms with a stained glass appearance. Something to go on my upper right arm. If it turns out anything like what you have above, I would be happy.

Thanks guys! The humming bird is of my own original design with the collaboration of the artist, because as I said before, I can draw on paper, she draws on skin. The humming bird is the symbol of peace in many Native American tribes; I'm half native (I know, I look white). The inside of the hummingbird is this key:
which is a replica of an ancient key found in Norway (I'm also Norwegian, that's why I look white ). When Christianity first came to Norway the pagans there didn't quite believe in it all, but were concerned enough to make keys to heaven. My mother and I both have one on a chain. I'm an atheist, but I really like the reasoning behind the key -- the idea of spirituality being one's own, and the idea that you have to make your own way to heaven.
And, yes, they are super pricey. The woman I go to is very well-known too, so that adds to the cost -- but it's worth it for her skill. The treble clef is actually a cover-up of a very poorly done tattoo I got when I was 16. Each would have cost about 250, but she gave me a deal and did them both for $400; I did tip her $100, though.
I do really want to keep the organic nature of the image. It's math and it's science, but it's nature in its purest, most elemental (figuratively ), form.
J., I think the most important thing is to look for the right artist. Do your research, and find some one who is willing to collaborate, and who really listens to your input.

Despite whatever image I may project on here, I actually have very little interest in sex. I don't even look at girls in the street. I'm overcompensating somewhat when I behave the way I do on here.
I can't say our system is perfect either, but that shouldn't happen.
That's okay, in real life I am quite shy and I really don't know how to flirt. As soon as pursuit of mutual sexual attraction enters the scenario I become awkward, uncomfortable, and I have a hard time even faking it.You know what's funny?

Yeah, I know you guys haven't got the best either -- and the really sad thing? Your system is messing up ours too! Every time people try to make an argument for socialized health care in this country people respond with "Look at the UK! It doesn't work!" They never bother to look at the countries that have good public health care.
Gordy's promising to axe perscription charges for the long-term ill (EG Cancer, diabetes, that sorta stuff). $250 bucks for a few tablets? JEE-SUS! and i hate paying £7.10 for stuff here! that's about $3.65 or something!
and Hermiod may have little interest in sex, but i don't. i'm ALWAYS looking at women and thinking 'Yeah', 'No' or 'Hmmm, maybe'.
me = bloke = horny.

I'm an atheist too, and I've always loved the purer aspects of people's beliefs... the honest aspects, the spirituality. I was raised Catholic and went to a Catholic school (which was part of this Mission) when I was very young. And even though I reached my conclusions pretty early (by the age of 8) I still found quite a bit of beauty in watching the practicing of the beliefs of others.
It is interesting that your part Native American, as that was another strong influence in my family while growing up. When I was young my family adopted (figuratively) Carobeth Laird. We spent hours talking about a vast range of topics (including science, philosophy and spirituality). And she was my first access to a broader view of Native Americans.
Of course the greatest thing I learned from her was that you are never too old to start something new.
Granted, my insurance at the moment is pretty bad, but I do have insurance. With diabetes meds and psych meds combined my monthly co-pays are about $350. That's co-pays! If I didn't have insurance it's be upward of $900 a month.
It gave me, as you said, a respect for "purer aspects of people's beliefs" (I couldn't put it more eloquently than you did. ). And of course, the last message is the most important.
^Both my parents are religious in their ways. My dad is a lapsed Catholic, and my mom was ever-searching for her religion when I was a kid. As a result we were Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, and followed more traditional native beliefs at different points during my childhood.I'm an atheist too, and I've always loved the purer aspects of people's beliefs... the honest aspects, the spirituality.

I'm never in that position. I rarely encounter anyone I find attractive and even then I just find a way to get the hell out of there.
All I ever wanted out of life was to be left alone without having to constantly put out the latest fire but nobody will let me do that. I must have a social life, I must look for a girlfriend, I must do this, I must do that.
I get sick of my work colleagues quizzing me on what I did the night before, never believing that I spend most nights just watching football on TV or playing video games.
There are a lot of countries a lot less well off than Britain who have made it work.
It's been a long time since I was 15 and I wasn't even that interested then.
