The ritual slaughter of my bank account

I've got to graduate soon, before I'm all out of dinero. Back in July, I sent in my tuition money, a total of $1,500. Two nights ago, I bought my parking permit, a total of $192. I've yet to buy any books. Argh. I always joke that pretty soon, there will be coin machines in the restrooms with little signs in each stall that read "please deposit 25 cents for each piece of toilet paper."

As far as my wacky pain in my side, I've figured out several things. I musn't reach for anything with my left arm, twist around on the left side, lay on my left side, or take deep breaths. Crap, this better be gone by the time school starts. : (

Last Friday I made an appointment to get one of my latest tattoos touched up. I got three chinese characters on my sternum. At first, I only wanted 2 characters, but added another at a later date. I've got other tattoos, so I knew what to expect. But what made this a little difficult was the location. I have to wear something that buttons or zips in the front. It was 92 degrees today, so I figured I wouldn't wear my jacket with the zipper. That left a light weight sweater. This was my third appoinment for this tattoo, and I've managed to avoid flashing Julio, until today.

I've been friends with Julio for almost three years now. After my ex quit the shop Julio works at, I didn't see him as much.

He was all finished and getting ready to tape me up. I let my right arm fall off the bench right as he was putting the "bandage" on. The problem with that motion turned out to be that it totally exposed my right...... side. (ahem, and you know what I mean.) I tried to non- chalantly as possible fix my sweater since we were in the middle of a conversation. After I was taped up and properly clothed, I tried to tip him and he refused. (Touch ups are free.) After he gets back from vacation, we're going to start work on another piece.

It's not as bad as it would have been, in terms of humiliation, if I'd been 16. Don't get me wrong, I'm embarassed. But maybe he didn't see anything.

Maybe he didn't notice.(?)

Sean: Wish me luck on that motrin thing!

Hey Vadergirl! I guess you could say I'm in total denial. It's just too wierd to think that he actually saw *something*. ~Tragic

thanks for stopping by today and your kind words of encouragement. If I could hug you, I'd hug you loose, not because of your touched up tat, but because I feel emotionally drained at this point. I guess you could say I want it all to end/stop. But don't worry, I'm not that desperate. I value my life too much, whatever value it has now.

Thanks agian for coming by today. Luv ya.

Hugs and sloppy wet kisses....
