::ding:: Bat!
Jun. 8th, 2002 05:57 pmThursday was the last day of work at GCS without the bosses. It was a sweet last day... Friday was okay until 2pm, which is when Fay came in. I'd known since around 10 that morning that they didn't want Angelica to come in to work 'cause she wasn't really needed 'cause things were sort of slow... So she came in at 2, when the store was insanely busy and I was in the middle of 2 sales and 3 gift-wrappings. o.O*
She was okay, and she wasted a lot of time telling me about her vacation, but it was such a let-down to have her back. She had made a big deal about keeping the store neat and clean while they were gone -- and we did, it was a lot easier without her around to mess everything up, leave food in hiding spots, leave clothes all over, etc. But while she complimented us on how great a job we did, she also gave us some not-so-subtle backhanded compliments -- praising us for somehow keeping the store clean, and neat, and in order, as if we'd never done it before! Meanwhile, most of the things on the list she left us to do, she doesn't even do -- we're the ones who do them!
I'm just glad I'm going back to work at the UN, and won't be within her reach except on Fridays. I feel sorry for Angelica who'll have to deal with her 4 days a week.
I'm kinda nervous about having shipped the wig I ordered for Kozi's Shiroi costume to the store. I don't think they'll mind, but you can never be sure with them; they get upset over the stupidest things sometimes, things that really don't make much common sense. Hopefully, the wig will be delivered while Angelica's there, before Fay comes in on Monday. Otherwise, I'll have to let Fay know... and just hope it doesn't piss her off. Not that she can do anything, but... I don't want to rock the boat more than I have to to get by.
Two weeks from today (June 22), I'll be going over to Angelica's house again to see Chris. This time, he's touching up Lisa's cousin's old tat and so Lisa asked me on Thursday (over the phone) if I was going to come over and get some more work done. I'd been thinking about it a lot, and so I responded to her question more strongly than I think she'd ever heard me talk before. It was cute... she asked, "Have you had a lot of coffee?" I said, "Why?" She said, "Because you sound really hyper." I answered, "Because I've been thinking about it a lot lately!" Anyway, my answer was that I wanted to wait until I was 100% sure about what I was getting, where. So I didn't want to rush it. 'Cause I have a few ideas.... Then she said, "But you can come over anyway, right? Just to watch?" And I said, "Sure!" She's so kawaii!
But I realized yesterday, when I put Lubriderm on my tat, that it isn't really completely filled in. =( Grrr. So, I'm when I go, I'm going to have Chris fill it in again. By that time, the tat should've healed, and the scabs completely fallen off. (And maybe the aftermath will be a little more substantial... not that I want the tat to hurt, you understand... because I really like the fact that it didn't hurt me so much, but I think I need it to bother me a little while it's healing in order for me to feel satisfied with it. My piercings, for example, take a long time to heal, they hurt to turn for a few days after the initial piercing, etc. But this tattoo... it almost seems fake! It hasn't hurt, hasn't bothered me, hasn't itched... it's driving me crazy, making me question its very existence! ::sweatdrop::
So, I'm really looking forward to having it filled in. Hopefully, it'll satisfy me a bit, so I don't rush into getting another one before I'm ready. Because as it stands right now, I'm practically in withdrawal for another one... and it was only my first! The thing is, it was so much fun! The pain didn't bother me all that much, and it looks so pretty afterwards! Oooh, I need another one!
So, my ideas for other tats. I've always had that idea for the evil faerie I mentioned in a previous post, I just have to find one.... or have one drawn for me; and I'm fairly certain I want it on my right shoulder-blade. I also really want a backpiece, as in... a dragon whose body starts on my lower back, taking up most of it, and whose body/neck comes up the left part of my back, with the head resting on the back of my left shoulder, probably a little above the shoulder-blade, closer to the neck. But, again, I'm not completely sure I want a dragon, or what sort of dragon I want, or if I'll be able to deal with the pain of a backpiece. I mean, what if it was just my leg that holds a high tolerance for pain? What if the pain of a tat on my back kills me? Of course, I want to try it anyway. I guess that is what makes me a bit masochistic...? So anyway, there's the evil faerie on my right shoulder-blade, the dragon on my lower back/middle back/left shoulder-blade... that doesn't leave much room for anything else on my back. Then there's the usagi-faery that I'd considered... I thought to put her on my right ankle. But then I had another anime-related image in mind, a chibi Duo-bat. I'm sure Gundam Wing fans have seen some of the chibi Duo-bats online... I thought, maybe I could put him on my right ankle... which would match my left ankle tat (Shinigami no koibito) more closely than an Usagi-faery. And if I put a chibi Duo-bat on my right ankle, I could put the Usagi-faery below my neck/at the top of my spine... then, I thought, I could have the dragon's mouth open as if to snap at the Usagi-faery. Ah, so complicated....
You see why I don't want to get another tat so soon... I'm obviously not ready to make up my mind about anything but the evil faerie, and I don't have a pic for that yet! ::sigh:: I really need to think about it; and it's really frustrating me that I can't make up my own mind. Usually, when I'm being indecisive, it's mostly that I'm fooling myself into the indecision, when underneath it all, I really know what I want. But in this case, the indecision is real. Grrrrrr!
