Help with Font and Placement
by Melissa ([info]ittybittyelise)
at January 7th, 2010 (01:08 am)

Hello! I've had my heart on getting this quote from The Little Prince tattoo'd on me since last summer: You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. The only thing I'm unsure about is font and placement.

In terms of font, I want something realy classy and neat looking. I'm really fond of Jane Austen and Renaissance, but I'm a bit paranoid that Jane Austen is going to bleed and become difficult to read over time.

Font Examples )

As for placement, I haven't the faintest idea. I like how the quote looks with the forever sandwiched between the two commas, so I don't really want to split it into two lines, but if it must be done, I'd like it split how I've done so in the image. I don't want it on my back because I have bacne scars (TMI, I know) and I don't want it on my stomach because I plan on having children in the future and I'm terrified of the tattoo abuse that would occur. Hmmm... I think that's around it. I know I sound really picky, but I would REALLY appreciate any suggestions you guys could offer and I promise to keep an open mind :)

Cat-shaped hole in my heart

My creation


Raise a glass, sing her name, and praise her long (15 and 3/4 years!) and beautiful life!

Her Royal Highness, my best friend, the fluffy feline MOSFET* has trotted her way across the Rainbow Bridge on this dark grey day.

I will not describe the harrowing tale of her last week of life, a bravely fought medical battle which amounts to such a short fraction of her wonderful reign.

I would rather instead to remember her joyful demeanour, her musical mews and squacks upon my arrival home, and her enduring habit to snooze, every single night, purring upon my chest until I had drifted into slumber. Her younger years brought kneading muffins into my flesh until it tickled, her elder years evolved a deep comforting purr that could set off nearby car alarms. She loved to rest her chin upon nearby objects and rumble so that her whole body would undulate.

Her ultimate sport was to hunt was shadows cast from a human hand onto a sunny wall. Second prey to that was a catnip-infused cloth cigar which was flung until the air and pounced and chewed upon until it was disemboweled. She was an indoor cat for her entire adult life, but it didn't prevent her from clicking her sharp teeth at the birds orbiting the feeder on the other side of the window. She had a spot on the floor where she shed 90% of her fur and made vacuuming more efficient. She loved entering the bathroom whenever anyone had to pee to lean against their shins, and sometimes she'd peek into the shower to ensure that the occupant had not drowned. She was sometimes my shadow and would follow me from room to room without complaint as I wandered. Sometimes, in frustration, she would attempt to lift up or destroy a patch of carpet by working it over with her front claws. Another hobby was sitting on top of anything you were trying to read.

Her favorites were being scritched on either cheek, massaged on and around her ears, and rubbed under her chin. Petting her full body usually made her stand up. Her special occassion gourmet treat was to lap the water drained from a can of chunk tuna.

Her name originated from a physics class I was involved with as a teenager, during which myself and other classmates were puzzing to recreate how our professor had rambled from the topic of quantum physics to basic electronic circuitry without pause or transition. The only logical connection, we agreed, was that Schrodringer's Cat had to have been named MOSFET. It struck me as obscurely had-to-be-there-funny then as it still does now. (A friend in college thought this was also clever and later named his own cat CMOS)

She briefly even held a career as Industrial Records' A&R rep. As she was patrolling the live/work loft one day, it occured to us that having mail addressed to her would separate the dozens of demo tapes we got every week from the urgent bills and official correspondence. The crowning moment was when we read a letter from a hopeful singer/songwriter describing how he had met MOSFET at a club and how she had insisted that he send his tape in for consideration.

It took me a long time to place her ancestry, being mostly mutt but showing distinctive features such as extra spikes of coarse fur off the tips of her ears and inbetween each toe, not to mention the feather duster that was her tail. It appears she was a Siberian, which also came to explain how no one I ever lived with ever complained of symptoms; Siberians do not produce the antibody that causes the feline allergy in humans. Inadvertently, I had gotten a hypoallergenic cat. Don't know if I can do that on accident ever again.

So the Queen of her Domain and the Pink-haired One lived together with love and joy, happily ever after. I have no doubt we gave each other the best life possible, full of unconditional love.

Having her with me my entire adult life tho has left me in a bit of a dumb stupor. I don't know what the other side of this looks like, without her by my side and under my feet. All I can hope for is that she is at peace and remembers in spirit our companionship.

I miss you, you fuzzy bastard. I love you and can only thank you for being the best companion a girl could ever ask for.

Be well, and sleep peacefully on the chest of the universe.

When I was in PHP, we were allowed to bring in one drink per day.  However, we weren't allowed to use the refrigerator.  So, if we wanted to have whatever we brought cold, we either had to drink it in the morning, or we just had to drink it warm.  

Or so we thought.

After a few weeks of experimenting, I figured out that if I froze the drink (always diet Dr. Pepper) the night beforehand and then wrapped it in tin foil until I wanted to drink it, it would still be cold in the afternoon when I wanted it. 

But then it would fizz up and overflow when I took off the cap.  I just couldn't win. 

For some reason this memory makes me sad. 

So, I'll do a stupid meme. 

01. Three jobs I have had in my life:
Ritter's
Cold Stone
On the Border

02. Three movies I would watch over and over that I like:
Stand By Me
The Outsiders
Girl, Interrupted

03. Three places I have lived in:
Indianapolis
Greencastle
Inside my own head

04. Three shows that I watch could watch over and over:
Arrested Development
The news
Everwood

05. Three places I have been to:
Mexico
Canada
Haiti

06. Three people who e-mail me regularly:
My sister
My mom
Christina Wagner

07. Three of my favorite foods:
Ice cream
Yogurt
Grilled cheese

08. Three places I'd rather be right now:
Somewhere warm
Greencastle
Bed

09. Three friends to tag:
Anyone

10. Three things I am looking forward to this year:
School
Seeing John more
Graduation

11. Three people of the opposite sex I have cried over:
Derek
Nathan
Mason (not for romantic reasons however)

12. Three favorite beverages:
Diet Dr. Pepper
Decaf coffee
Coke Zero

13. Three future children's names:

Making dye go further
by ALICE!! ([info]dyingscene)
at January 7th, 2010 (12:43 am)

I have a great amount of hair. It's not really the length that's an issue, it's more the thickness. (My hair is actually just middle-back length, but breaks ponytail holders like nobody's business.) So I typically have to get a lot of dye when dying my hair. Last time I dyed, I used 2½ bottles of Special Effects and still have a big section of hair in the back that didn't have a bit of dye on it (it's okay looking though because I was dying myself pink from a light red).

I was wondering if anyone had an experience with attempting to make their dye go further? Possibly by mixing with conditioner or something? Does this dilute the color a whole lot or is it not really that noticeable?

My hair has grown a bit since dying it last time and I suspect that I'll need at least 4 bottles.

to make this not just text, a picture containing a boob stressball! )

Just had a question/ wanted to see if you guys had any input..

I am doing the no shampoo experiment has anyone else ever done this? Results? What do you think about it? I'm doing it because I am really tired of trying to choose a shampoo that works for me, honestly all shampoos i have tried make my hair in some way feel funky, just not right. And to make things clear I would still shower and go through the motions of washing my hair just minus the shampoo. I have read mixed things online but some say that once your body/scalp normalize your hair could be on its way to prettier and healthier state. So I want to know what all of you think.

and for fun here are some pics of my boring hair

My hair nao


anddd what i am trying to grow it back out to :(

 I really don't know how to style my hair at the moment.

I have a portion on the side of my head that was shaved, and it's growing in. 

The rest is just, there I guess haha I'm trying to let it grow out longggg.

I put it in a pony tail, or do some (sort of) braids, or pig tails, or wear a hat. 


I'm getting very sick of it and I'm so tempted to get a pixie cut again.
