I must confess...
- I REALLY got a tattoo
- it is REALLY of a fictional bird
- and I REALLY love it!
The bird is a mockingjay. It's a figment of author Suzanne Collins imagination and a symbol she uses in her Hunger Games series to represent strength, survival, and freedom. I had been wanting a bird tattoo for a while and knew that I didn't want the same thing everyone else had. When I caught a glimpse of this on the Internet, it just resonated with me. I think it also reprents living life under your own terms. I really connected with the books and the heroine of the books. I like things to be original and most of all have meaning. The night before last, my husband was trying to get me to convince him why he should like it, because he thought it was lame.
He thinks it's fantastic. (I knew he would.:) Jose @ Outsiders Ink (in Tulsa, OK) did this tattoo (as well as my "Twilight" tattoo). He is an amazing artist and gives great attention to detail. I highly recommend!
- We were at Outsiders for NINE hours! We all got a little bored after a while and I so took pictures of myself while sitting in the bathroom. Do NOT ask my why. I really have no idea.
- Remember those New Moon candies I was telling you about? I bought some...one of each (x3). I decided to break open one of the "Bellas". I'm not sure how many WW points they are, but I ate it anyway. Pretty tasty. I bet the Edward or Jacob one would have tasted better...maybe I'll give them a try.
Aren't they cute? They say "bella" w/ a Cullen crest.
- My good confession for the week: I was CRAVING Chili Cheese Fritos in the worst way on my way home this morning at 2:30AM. However, I did not cave. I did not go to QT and buy the "big bag". I wanted to and I wanted to chase them with a large cherry vanilla Dr. Pepper. Didn't...didn't do it.
Hope everyone is having a FABULOUS Friday! Enjoy your weekend!!

Mmmm! Chili Cheese Fritos. I'm so proud of you for not giving in... I don't think I could do that. LOL!
Again, absolutely LOVE that tatoo!
love the Tat!!! looks great!
Very nice tattoo. I'm glad you got something that is unique and that you really like.
Saw your tat when you posted it on FB last night...still love it and and maybe even love it more knowing the story behind it!
Yep, that tat looks cool! I know if you'd have told me it was a "mockingjay" I would have been like, "What is that?!" : )
That is cool looking but it looks pretty painful to me...ouch!!! Glad you got something unique that you really love!!! Hope you have a great weekend!
Ouch, but it looks cool. Wish I was that brave. The candy is too funny, you crack me up!
I love your tattoo! The Hunger Games and Catching Fire are without a doubt two of the best books I've ever read! Did you hear they're making a movie of The Hunger Games? Supposed to be out in 2011.
Have a fabulous weekend!
OUCH!
You go girl!
Wow, he is an artist! Better you than me :)
Yeah for the willpower.
The scale is finally going down for me now that I am doing a better job with counting points.
Love your new tattoo. He did a great job :)
Oh i love love the tattoo!! what a great choice! i am hoping to convince my hubby to get a tattoo with me when he returns home next summer...i am thinking something that we can put together that will make something...like each have a half of a heart of some sort...i dont know...i have a while to plan!!
Oh my.
I hate Fritos. You know how I feel about tattoos...
I do like chocolate though... no matter who or what is on the label.
:)
Ha...I knew you would be in trouble with Vivienne!
Well, I agree with her about tattoos, but I don't hate Fritos! I like them with bean dip!
i did a google search for mockingjay tattoo (maybe b-day present for my girlfriend's 30th). this is pretty badass.
