SORRY FOR THE LACK OF POSTING, I have been out of town & Iām bad at typing on the phone.
Sunday, I donāt really remember much of what we did tbh. I feel like we laid in bed for half the day. It was my birthday & I played with @blooketchupās toddler a lot, he is a precious angel & I liked how he was like a little friend to be carried everywhere. I would not want one permanently but I would like to borrow him for a day a week or something, that would be nice.
Saraās mom made me pink camouflage cupcakes for my birthday & we had a nice big meal. After dinner, Sara & I laid in bed some more & got drunk off a minuscule number of Mikeās Hard Lemonades. I looked up nude photos on Reddit & left comments like āiām a little drunk, great dick manā on many of them. Then we texted Saraās brother to bring us Doritos & he did & I ate almost the whole bag & they were genuinely the greatest Doritos of all time omg.
At this point I was supposed to seduce Saraās brother because she was lying weirdly zoned out on the other half of the bed so we were basically alone but I had determined a slow approach was best for the seduction because he is like a timid wild animal one must be slow & careful with. I let him play with my camera (that is not a euphemism) & I asked him to draw & I laid down at the foot of the bed right by him while he drew items I requested. This seemed to calm him & so I will continue to do this each timeĀ I visit until like ten years from now we are banging on the regular because he will associate me with pleasant calm feelings (sry Sara hope you quit reading by this point).
Monday was my last day in town & we were gonna go get me a tattoo. I had researched a little & found a place I wanted & they said a walk-in was fine for something as small as I wanted. We showed up in the middle of the day & the incredibly awkward receptionist said to check back in an hour, which I was fine with because it was a walk-in & I knew that might happen. We went to a rock store & wasted entirely too much time in there & I spent WAY too much money on a pretty rock heart & a pretty tiny smooth heart (so now I will carry FOUR rocks in my pockets at all times to rub when I have anxiety, great job me). After an hour, we called the tattoo place back & they said to check back in another hour.
We killed some time at the pet store Sara works at talking to her super amusing coworker who said I would be his soulmate were he not gay & then decided to just go sit at the shop. We got there & I felt really uncomfortable, they were wanting to discuss changing my design & I didnāt feel assertive enough to say no & then the receptionist said he had to go get food & it was going to be a little while before we actually saw the artist & I felt really, really awkward & icky in there. I thought it was a normal awkward & icky because I often feel awkward & icky in new situations. I understood I was a walk-in so I wasnāt expecting immediate service, but it didnāt really seem like they were servicing anyone while we were there & no one really talked to us & it was nice & clean but didnāt feel right.
We ended up leaving because Sara didnāt have a ton of time left to get home to watch Liam before her parents left. We called a tattoo place her brother had recommended that we had ignored because it had slightly lower reviews, I immediately felt better after talking to the artist on the phone & I had a good feeling about it & then we got to the place & it was a lot smaller but felt muuuuuuuuuch friendlier & I immediately felt better. Sara had to leave before I even went back & I still wasnāt nervous, the guy was really nice & he made changes I requested & I wasnāt at all anxious, he did everything smoothly & was really nice.
It kinda hurt in some areas but it wasnāt really any worse than a cat scratch. I thought it actually felt mostly pleasantly painful, to be honest, veeeeeerrrrrry much like cutting. I think it wouldāve felt amazing on my back & I was tempted to be like YEAH JUST DO SOME SCRIBBLES ON MY BACK but I donāt really want a back tattoo lol.
ANYWAY the tattoo is perfect & I adore it. While he was doing it, the artist was like āThis is really fun! When you sent over the pic I wasnāt sure that it would look too good but I really like it, actually! Cool design!ā & that made me feel better because I couldnāt see what was happening since my arm was up too high & I was lying down. I was planning on getting some lyrics written on my other arm in a few months but now I think Iāll get them on my ribcage instead & get something in a similar style on the other arm to make it more symmetrical, idk.
Got back to Saraās house & played with Liam for a little & then I read him a bedtime story & put him to sleep, horribly sad because I told him I was leaving in the morning but of course he didnāt understand, he is two, so I had to just hug him goodbye & he thought heād see me in the morning. :(
I left around 8:30pm, which gave me 15.5 hours to get home (for a trip thatās about 7 hoursā worth of driving). Got really sleepy right off the bat & intended to sleep for maybe 20 minutes in a parking lot, instead woke up seven hours later at almost 4am with only one eighth of the trip done oops.
