Very well said.
2509:
When I was little, I believed in Santa Claus. All the other kids believed in him, and there was an overwhelming mainstream culture in place supporting my belief in him, and my parents told me he was real.
I also tried burning ants with a magnifying glass. Not over and over again, like a serial…
is so fucking awesome. A perfectly worded and lovely little thing that nicely sums up why I love living outside the box, without a TV, and with only a loose plan (mind, I have ambitions a-plenty, but no set desired path)

May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.
Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody’s ever made before. Don’t freeze, don’t stop, don’t worry that it isn’t good enough, or it isn’t perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.
Happy New Year!
Neil GaimanJust so ya know, I’ve set up a blog over at runskinnygirl.tumblr.com that’ll be dedicated to keeping me accountable to myself for getting back into, and staying in, shape and generally being fit. whoo!
I set up a new one so as not to spam my twitter feed every time I update. But, just in case you were interested, it’s there. yay!
Back story, in case you were unaware: I had my right tragus pierced in Feb of this year. I loved it! It healed and I thought all was well. Today, I went back to my awesome piercer (Nick at Ace Tattoo in northern Denver. <3 that guy!) to have him do my left side tragus.
He took one look at my healed piercing and went “er…. it migrated…” which is rather bad, when someone has as tiny of a tragus as I do. We spent the next 20 minutes discussing options and what would be best, vs what he could do. He recommended that we order some titanium rings and pierce the left tragus with that. The titanium will heal better and reduce the migration. Further, we should remove the jewelry from the right tragus and re-pierce it with titanium once its healed, so they are cosmetically similar.
I also asked about my navel. I had that pierced like, 8 years ago, but I’ve never been really happy with it. Its a super shallow piercing and just… meh. Nick said he could do an anchor just above the belly button but actually re piercing the navel wouldn’t be best… So I took that piercing out to let it heal over too, with a plan to do something else with it in a few months.
So, I planned to add another piercing to my collection today. I ended up losing 2. :( Booface. But, it’ll be prettier overall once I’m done… so it’ll be great then. If all goes well, I should have my left side done before I leave for St Louis on Aug 17.
