The "silly" season gets downright ludicrous

‘Tis the season indeed. ‘Tis the season to be either stressed out of ones head, or downright bored. Drunk on free booze, or, well, drunk on free booze. There is no getting around it, really. Nevertheless, I have gotten around it today; another industry event scheduled for tonight turns out to be being held in sunny Melbourne. More pity them, I am sure.

Crap I am bored. I am working on a stupid report on ecommerce that is failing miserably to entertain me. Maybe I should go and join a circus. I have heard that they are entertaining.

Will report in soon if anything interesting happens.

Hey Tangels, I too have wanted a tatt for some time but have been too lazy/pussy to get one. I think we should both decide on a design / location and have a tatt-off (or tatt-on as the case may be).

Hmmm... A "tatt-off" could well refer to an old woman style crochet or "tatting" session whereby we each attempt to create lace handkerchiefs at a rapid pace. I would be up for that. But if you wish to stand by your initial context, I would want to know how far along in the process you are. Do you have a design in mind? That is the hardest bit I reckon.

chortle.

Do it - just do it! You will love it! It's totally addictive. I want another one, but I am just a nerdy lil white girl, not the biker type that would be required or a third.

Another crocheted hanky, that is.

Chicken - I am waking up the house* to call you tomorrow morning, best that you answer.



*Similar, but not identical to the Tom Jones anthem: 'Burnin' down the house'.

Er ... Sorry to drop you down this stairs this morning chickadee. I am not my best at that hour (she says, yamning and stretching at 11am). It isn't until around 3pm that my brain realising that what we like to call the "moving pictures" show of my life is rolling again and starts eating popcorn and giggling. It normally passes out again at around 5pm.

Right ho, general area and basic design have been decided but I still can't decide on the fine details.

Thinking two parallel lines either side of my spine, probably from upper to mid back. I've played around with a few designs but can't settle on something I like. Once I do though.... Tatt-off, here I come.

That sounds good Ceedy, but I don't know if you can really blow your nose on such a thing (referring to second def of "tatt-off", in case you are the five steps behind everything that I am today, which would make you five steps behind me, in which case I strongly advise getting a hustle on!).

Erm. My ideas for tats come and go. I think that you will probably win the “tatt-off” as per first definition. I am happy to hold your hand, and say, “Eeeeew!”, when it is all red, and “Ahhhhh!”, when it is black and looks cool.

Nonono, I think one of the main attraction of a duel-person tatt-off is the reciprocal motivation such competition evokes.

The lead singer from The Darkness has a tattoo of flames coming up from his pubic area. What if he has erectile problems later in life? This would make that particular piece of body art rather ironic wouldn't it?

Com'on, doitdoitdoitdoit.....

It surely wood (sic) Ceedy!! Very ironic! (not sure what my little pun above actually means, but it says "wood" and I think that makes it funny).

as for your "doitdoitdoit" stuff. Man, I can hardly choose what I want for dinner let alone a tatt. HAY. I have a better idea. Why don't I get a peircing rather than a tatt? Oooooh! That reminds me. I watched Jackarse the other night and saw the main dude get his butt peirced together with a long pin. It was gut wrenching stuff!

I think you should get a tatt AND a piercing. Then you can look at yourself in the mirror and say; "Howdya like that bitch? I scoff at my prior inability to make decisions. Scoff."

Yes, very punny.

I also saw the arse piecing thing last weekend and it made me feel physically sick. How is he gunna wipe his arse for the next month?

That's ok - drop me down the stairs any time!

T'was a high point in an uneventful day!

Must dash - the couch is calling! My unemployed flat mate Marcel is doubtless getting lonely with out me.

Hope you day went swimmingly, maybe you could even go for a swim to that end?
