so, good news: my tattoo plans finally seem to become reality. i just need to get the appointment confirmed now. most probably i'll get it done on 3rd september. for a few days now i've been mailing with a tattoo artist who seems trustworthy to me. he actually complimented me on my choice ('a fire inside' in the font of the afi ep) and made suggestions on how we should arrange it and all. i think i've now settled on 'a fire' in one line and 'inside' underneath. on my wrist. i'm dead excited and can't wait. he said it would probably be around �150 including them preparing the design for me and whatever else needs to be done. i don't know if that's much and i think i don't care because i had a look at loads of websites of local tattoo studios and i also drove by a few that are near my home and none of them seemed trustworthy enough. this one seems all great because it's existed for almost 20 years now and the artists all won some kind of awards and also organise some tattoo events every year. it all seems like a good sign to me. i might sound a little paranoid but i'm not doing this because i want to get tattooed, i'm doing it because i want to get this particular design and i don't want it to be ruined because i've not planned it well and chose the wrong artist.
i went home earlier today. i said i had a horrible headache and forgot my pills. which wasn't even a lie. well, i just didn't tell them said pills were aspirin which i could have purchased from the pharmacy around the corner in no time. but i was also kinda down and tired and just...well...not so well. plus there was nothing to do and staring at the wall didn't really help to cheer me up. so i went home, took two aspirin and went to sleep on the couch. i actually slept for about 4 hours which felt good, though i felt a bit crappy after waking up which is always the case when i'm sleeping on the couch with the tv on and all. i always have a kind of headache that isn't even a headache. it's just...a low buzzing in my head and i feel sick. so i try to avoid sleeping on the couch but sometimes i still do it when i want to watch tv until i fall asleep because that's a bit difficult in my room since i have to lie on my stomach to see the screen. oh well...
tomorrow, maja is coming. she won't arrive before around 10pm, so i guess i'll spend the time before that dyeing my hair and stuff. i don't know, yet. maybe i'll also sleep a bit, so i won't be all dead and collapse as soon as i get home from picking her up.
oh, ha! more good news. since joining WW, i've lost 2,2kg. and that was the result last sunday. after one week. yay. people in the WW community said that it's normal to lose quite a bit during the first three weeks and after that, it'll slow down a little. but they also said that my result was very very good since the average weight loss during that time is around 1,5kg or something. how awesome. at least, this means i'm doing it right. though it's not that much of an achievement because it's really easy. because i don't necessarily have to keep away from *bad* things. if i'm really craving chocolate, i can have chocolate. i just have to live with the fact that there'll be less food then. the only thing i found a little difficult was getting used to my new kind of snack. which means that my normal "oh no, i can't be hungry again"-snacks now consist of vegetable and fruit instead of candy and junk food. yay for red peppers and cucumbers. <3 (ha! cucumbers. how kinky!)
