from darkness into light

Micah and I half fell asleep sitting on the couch. Long talking into the night. It is and was good. Solid. Honest. These sorts of friendships are important, and not something I take lightly.

My tattoo oozes a little blood. John, the artist, commented once on how little I was bled during the work. Perhaps because my feet have poor circulation, especially in the cold. My legs did tremble a lot, and it had much to do with the sound.

Oh, and how I do understand the addiction now. It hurts and it doesn't, this sensation I can't adequately describe. Fascinating. I lost all track of time. It might have been fifteen minutes, it mght have been three hours. Micah said I would widen my eyes sometimes, in a most alarming manner. I wish I could have seen myself. I tried very hard not to watch what was happening.

I'm going to work in my slippers tomorrow. No one will stop me. Though I am tempted to go out and buy a brand new pair of shoes.

We ate cheesecake, drank coffee and played cards. I treated myself to a giant almond cappucino. A day totally out of time, and of much joy.

Let me be the first to congratulate you!

Once your tattoo stops hurting, it will start itching like the dickens and you can't scratch or it may damage the image.

I know exactly what you mean about the sensation. After I got mine, the first thing people asked was, "Did it hurt?" I didn't know how to answer it. It did, but it didn't. I think the noise was the worst part.

I can't wait to see it!
