Dumb

Ok, so I can't work on my draft cause the PC won't read what was supposed to be a universal file format. Anyway, I was playing with my quill tattoo idea/drawing on myself, and I had it PERFECT, I was so happy, it was gonna be over my heart and have written "Tell them stories" under my boob, kind of coming from the larger crow... but then, I realized, it was backward. I was looking in a mirror. IDIOT.

So, now I'm all disappointed, cause it just isn't the same if I move it to the other side... besides, the heart is slightly to the left. I mean, the quill is what's important, not the text, but I also wanted the text on its own, and I thought combining them would be cool. Meh.

Universe, give me a solution.

(Let's see if this works)

EDIT: I did find several photos of text tattoos that were intentionally backward- it makes sense, and it does agree with my philosphy on tattoos: they are for you, and no one else. Of course, going with that philosophy, I might as well write it upside down so that I can read it when I look down.

Hmmm... it's a thought. It's a thought...

I am all sorts of entertained by that idea. In both serious and non-serious ways. I have this image in my head of people trying all awkwardly to read the tattoo upside down... except that, given where it's located, I suppose there wouldn't be that many people attempting to read it. But its at least a funny image in theory. :P
