So yes... updates updates updates :)

Let's start at the bottom and work our way up shall we? Well.. too bad! My journal. My rules. Nyah!

Ok first off... Uhm.. oh! I've done some work on my character.. She has a name.. age... and yes. Hah :0 ) Soon to be a clan too but more work must be done. Also I have a lot of questions I need to ask and understand the answers before I can proceed.

I've decided what I'm going to do for the tattoo in honor of my father. I've decided to go with the idea I had before but instead of chinese I'm going to use thai characters. I mean seriously... this is for my dad. And chinese has very little to nothing to do with his life and childhood. Thai does. So I'm going to work my ass to find the exact characters I need to get this done. To me they're hours towards a labor of love. So they're are hours I am willing to put forth. I've also decided to not go with the Olde English font. At zebra they had this font that was sort of asian-esque looking and that's the one I want. one again I'm going for authenticity here. Not what I think looks pretty. And here's how it's going to be:

(thai symbol for love)
R.I.P.
(thai symbol for kindness)
R.K.M.
(thai symbol for generosity)
08.05.03
(thai symbol for peace)

It's gonna be all black and on my right arm, roughly about the place where the tattoo is on my left arm.

Sunday is the reception for my grandfather. It's gonna be in Napa at my Grandmother's HUGE house/mansion there. It's beautiful. I love visiting that house. It's set back on this long driveway and it's totally hidden behind trees so you can't hardley see it from the main road. And in the living room the ceiling is painted like the sky and the house is filled with tons and tons of antiques and art and things from other countries. I'm at peace at that house. I'm also planning after the reception.. prolly in a week or two weeks to go up there and stay for 2 or 3 days. And if he's up for it I've invited koga to join me. If he can't make it or doesn't want to come that's fine with me... :)

Ren faire is comin up in a week folks!! I can't wait to go. It's gonna be so fun and I've also offered to take the above mentioned person if he wishes to attend. My treat. I mean come on, I'd pay to see him in that sexy outfit anyday!! :) hehe...

I was bored and looking through LJ for people who live in Rodeo and I found an old friend from high school!! I was like WOO HOO!! It was pretty cool.. so I'm gonna go bug him at work sometime just to say hi :)

I NEED TO PLAY DDR!! I feel like a drug addict who needs a fix. Fuck. Does anyone want to go to golfland or some sort of arcade somewhere and game with me for a while? Only thing is... The place HAS to have DDR. I keep listening to Butterfly and everytime I hear it I'm tempted to just hop in the car and find me a ddr machine :)

So it's time for me to dye my hair again. The blonde is old so I'm gonna go back to red. Where the streaks of blonde are now I'm going to do the roots ( ok the person at the salon is gonna do them ) and then I'm gonna have the streaks dyed a nice deep red color and I'm gonna redo the brown so it's a little lighter. :) Woo.. I love getting my hair done.. and my grandma is just gonna have a heartattack if I keep having roots any longer so she's gonna pay for it... no complaints there. :)

So yesterday was tons and tons of fun :)

First, I spent the day cleaning and being productive. Then at about 5pm I left for walnut creek. I hit up Target and bought the items I needed to buy ( bottled water, cd holder, and cat litter. I also bought a notebook to use for research on my character and a smaller notebook for taking down info at CAST )

Then, I had like an hour to kill before needing to be at koga's so I decided to go visit my family in Walnut creek. I chilled there for an hour and a half and got caught up on things. Found out some stuff. My uncle also told me he'd help me with school when I decided to go back. That meant a lot to me. I'm glad to finally be closer to that part of my family. It's something I needed.

So after that and being half an hour late ( Do'H! They like to talk ;) hehe ) I drove the 6 minute drive from my family's to koga's. We basically chilled, ate pizza, watched t.v. and movies, played video games, made plans for world dominat... er.. I mean... eh heh.. nothing. NOTHING!! :) hahahah :) ( I just remembered and inside joke with mikey about that.. haha.. ) And yah. Spent the night cuz we fell asleep watching Harry Potter 2. Woke up late. Watched more t.v. and that's about it... it was fun :) I always have a good time hanging out with koga.. even if we are just folding his laundry * wink *... and dave is a cool guy too.. he's really funny... and oh man... get the two together and I laugh so hard I can't breathe for like a few minutes.. :) haha... always put a smile on my face....

So now.. I'm home and I took mah shower.. and I'm gonna eat.. and yes ;) Woo :) Fun times... Much love.. peace out!

Hey Jessica,

Your tattoo sounds like it will be really wonderful. I've always thought that Thai was a very beautiful written language, moreso than any of the other Asian languages.

I want to see pictures when you get it done! :)

Of course!
