I'M GOING TO JAPAN!! DAMN STRAIGHT, I AM FINALLY FINALLY GOING TO JAPAN! WOO!
right, now that we've got that over and done with....
so yeah, im going to japan! i've got a degree to finish off first (oh god, my dissertation is killing me, and ive got an exam next week too...), but after thats done it's me off to japan! my wonderous wonderous friend alice ([link]) is going to go with me if all things go to plan - we'll do the fun holiday thing sometime in august hopefully! that is also part of a larger cunning plan of mine to go there for a good long period of time and work out there... but more on that story later!
on a side note, a friend of mine has asked me to maybe design a tattoo for him. i'm kind of honoured, but if i think about it too much also a bit worried... god, poor guy, what if i can't come up with something he likes? or worse, what if we figure out a design, but then once he gets it done he hates it?! gah, the pressure!! so many ways this can go wrong... and i really like this guy! i can't ruin his first tattoo!! i've been working on trying to figure out a tattoo for myself for years now (my hand tends to have a different design every day these days...), but im cursed with an insanely indecisive nature... well, lets hope i can come up with something. the best plan really is to just draw on him for a while, though the downside is if we come up with a design he likes, id then have to transfer it onto paper so it can be copied, which is always more of a challenge than you'd think...
