A Plane! A Plane! (...Tattoo...anyone?)
Hmmm.... so lately, i've been thinking. a surprise, i know, but especially after our awesome lecturer last night, i really want to get some kind of tattoo(s), yeah, plural. I'm not sure why, andmaybe every forcibly-rebellious college-aged kid goes through it, but lately i've been thinking and i have some interesting (well, interesting to me...) ideas in my head.
First- this one is kindof random, and i'm a little embarassed at the source, but i've been doodling a design for years that i just recently stumbled upon in a book about famous British Brands - the design is a logo for the British upscale Japanese restaurant in London, Hakkasan. The pic is below, and obviously, i would just get the backwards kk... It's supposed to be an homage to the symbol for 'good fortune' while still looking cool as hell. I'm game.
Secondly- after our speaker last night, an idea popped into my head... with all of the concious labeling in society, he wrote his last name over and over and over on his body in pen- it took hours to do, and looked amazing when photographed. obviously i wouldn't cover myself, but i like the idea of a somewhat inconspicious band around my wrist or something similar that in very small script repeated the family names that represent where i've come from....
again, just a random idea...
___________
now that that's out of my head, i can get back to obsessive journalling for crappy Luther classes.... for some reason, the idea of producing a journal for the sole purpose of having someone else grade it and tell you that you need to 'think about your audience in this paragraph' is beyond me. I understand them wanting us to reflect on our expeirences, but Mark and Carol really need to lay off the grading a little bit..... they're unrelentless really...
maybe the social tonight is what i need to chill out. unfortunatley, i don't feel all that social this week. i feel rushed, pressured to finish things, and altogether wierded out about the idea of the house being turned over to the guys (and kate, as she couldn't find tickets for london) this weekend. Why is it that on the one night that i'm supposed to attend a social, i feel somewhat reclusive? Ryan has an awesome hand-written sign in his room that reads BE IN ENGLAND TO BE IN ENGLAND. it's brilliant idea- really simple, but gets the point across. I'm not here to watch tv or sit online... i'm here for a cultural experience. the problem is how inconvenient it is to become part of the city.... especially as it gets cold (so crisp today) and dark (pitch black at 6), it's only going to become more of an obstacle to make this work....
wish me luck

Dear Sexiest Man in England,
I think the tat idea is pretty sweet. Just don't get it when your drunk, and think it over a lot.
On the matter of journaling for stupid luther classes? Give them the address to your fucking blog man, you've got crazy-prose-like-its-going-out-of-style,-style.
I also agree with Ryan's sign. You should get out a lot. I mean you travel a lot already, so I understand that your flat time is like home time basically, and naturally Kevin likes to cuddle up with that friend that never breathes, sleeps, eats or talks back unless its a friend on skype, the internet.
Dude, daylight savings makes it dark before 5:30, so things could always be worse.
Drink a pint for me bro, keep up the bloggalicious blogs, give me something to do in between repeated email and facebook checkings.
Love you man,
Justin
