Recent Alterations

[halloweenjack]

Nothing major, but some recent changes in me:

1) By altering my dietary intake, I've lost about thirty-three pounds since last fall. I hope to continue the trend.

2) Last weekend, I got my left earlobe pierced, and it's already mildly infected. The care instructions warned me sternly to not touch or play with my piercing. Fat chance of that. I think that it's starting to go down, though, since I've started to douse the little earrings that I'm using with Bactine. I may get my first tattoo as early as this weekend.

3) I've also gotten this delightful little nose and ear hair trimmer (yes, I continue to find interesting places to grow hair--puberty never ended, it just took a little break). It has a nice heft to it, and knurled metal grips. I'd probably start wearing mascara if the brush came with a knurled metal grip.

4) I've started in on the Culture novels of Iain Banks. Just started in on the first one, but already it shows much promise.

What sort of tattoo?

Either the Tree of Life (http://www.gnosticassociationny.org/Tree_of_Life_color.jpg), or the weird little symbol from "Heroes" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Heroes_helix.svg), or both. Still deciding.

The Heroes helix would look totally awesome. I'd never seen it before, but the design would look incredible in stark black on skin.
