THE TOUGHEST GIRL I KNOW THAT HAS EVER LIVED


i know a wonderful wonderful girl. a girl named sarah davies. i've known her for a very very long time.


she makes me laugh in that kind of way, where it becomes painful and although you don't want the lols to stop you need them to stop otherwise you may 1) die or worse 2) piss yourself. but she's also definitely made me cry before (as evidence, a to-this-day laughed about family joke involving me needing to wear a helmet called the LIL JAMMER if i'm going to play with sarah).


(ok on a side note i have to tell you about this helmet.. i think it belonged to the davies and it was definitely from the 80's.. it was white with all kinds of fun graphics puked all over it... it said LIL JAMMER on it.. in some jazzy font.. i think in hot pink.... it's the most ridiculous thing you've ever seen (thanks to the 80's) and seriously isn't lil' jammin the opposite of what you want to do with your head? even if you are wearing a helmet? was this helmet encouraging me to put my head under a moving tracker wheel? or get it stuck between a wall and a parked car? who thought calling a helmet the LIL JAMMER was a good idea? i guess the 80's was a pretty crazy time..)


ANYWAYS.. the point is sarah has always been this tough as nails, wonderfully boisterous, can-do-will-do type of girl.. and probably the only girl.. or possibly person who would sit through 3 hours of impounded wisdom tooth removal (all 4) without anything more than bullshit local freezing that didn't work.


most people, upon realizing that the freezing wasn't working would have pulled the plug, like ASAFP.. you know in like the first ohhhhh 7 minutes.


but sarah is tough. not pretend girl tough, not pretend guido tough, actually tougher than everybody including jesus. she sat through the whole goddamn thing and even after like 2 hours and a million failed needles of freezing, when the dentist finally offered to stop and finish up on a different day, sarah said this:


"just. fucking. finish."


...


how did she not pass out? how did she let those motherfuckers get anywhere near her with the pliers and drills, sledges and dynamite needed to mine those fucking diamonds? sarah sat through it like the friggin all star tough guy she is cause she's actually made out of what heroes are made out of. she's the type of lady who's probably going to rescue families and animals from disasters some day. sarah definitely inspires me to be less of a panty-waisted sissy cupcake... also have i mentioned what a crippling babe she is?


anyways anyways anyways. the real point of all of this is to say: i adore sarah and love that we've been friends for so long and that we've been having some really good times lately.  The other weekend we decided to get tough guy tattoos... naturally sarah sat through it as casually as you'd sit through a pedicure. enjoy some pictures!

SKIN FUNERAL FOR REAL

well i finally stopped being a complete sissy and got a tough guy tattoo.

i'm still mostly a sissy. don't worry. i know it would be no fun if i was all tough. its really the most fun pretending to be tough and then actually being a kitten. 90 pounds of 'fuck you'? no more like 110 pounds of used kleenex (NOT in a sexy way)

anyways.. after having an amazing night at the arcade fire a few of us savages decided to do tattoos... originally kurt and i were going to get our matching parent tattoos (we're too cute RIGHT?) we were going to get our parents initials... but we couldn't figure it out quite right.. so decided to wait... then we talked about doing brother/sister tattoos.. but also couldn't figure that out.. (you'll notice i have shitty pen all over my hands in the pictures.. cause i was testing out all kinds of GREAT ideas...)

ANYWAYS.. i was determined to stop being the little idiot that always talked about stick and pokes, walked around with pen covered hands, but had absolutely ZERO to show for it... SO i went with something i've been kicking around (read: drawing on my hand) for the last little while.  i'm super in love with it and am so happy about the slight increase in my toughness level... ALSO my friend kortnay let sam and i draw on her and then she got the drawings tattooed (she is legit tough, lemmetellyou)....

SO HERE YOU GO, JUDGE AWAY (also - i know that it doesn't look very clean in the pictures ((which i actually think is funny)) but i assure you we were being safe and not being dum dums about it.. K? believe me?

thank you kurtis, kortnay, sam and michael for sharing in this very special night. i am actually pretty impressed with myself.. if you know me, you know that i cry when i dye my hair and get overwhelmed ordering food at restaurants.. so this is a pretty major stepping stone towards me not totally sucking at life.

me entering a world of pain (but not really...cause im so tough... but writing that has made me wanna watch the big lebowski)

there you go kids. the all seeing eye triangle (haha minus the eye) and relax...

the most stoked.. haha

just the cleanest table you've ever seen

i drew this heart on kort-yay's fingy.. and now its there forever! sorry little k! haha hope you love it!

before kort when in for round two

the final works or art :) thanks michael, you're good at this, srsly!

yes, i know.. i got street art tattooed onto my body for life.. but its only been two days and this little fucker has already helped me to chill outt... its the best advice and i'm so happy i keep it close at hand (HAHA IM SUPER FUNNY)

SKIN FUNERAL THE II

please some hand tattoos now or soon or something. also maybe some neck tattoos (is that too much to ask?)

also i drove a motorcycle last night and it ruled. my friend sage is teaching me, she also super rules (sage is one of the kings - which is the gang that i blogged about but called us the nights cause i'm a dummy.. but that gang, the one that drinks wine and has lots of lols... anyways...)

so also please one motorbike, size small. thanks..

xxxx (permanent on my body)

ALL MY FRIENDS ARE TOUGH GUYS (and i'm just a little whimp)

so you know how i was talking about my friendy Jessica Sands (miss punk wok, amoung other things).. WELL do i have something fun for you!  not only does she have a tough guy tattoo, it's the Cancer Bats logo done by the singer, Liam! holy moly, amiright? thanks Jessica for sending me this picture to add to my 'all my friends are tough guys' collection (and all my friends really are tough guys... so more photos coming soon!!!)

BIG TALK NO WALK

still no tattoo.

I might say, that I tried pretty hard on saturday to get one, but I also, would say, that I didn't actually try very hard at all.

it was just a crazy day. I think I did some wallowing instead. I'm pretty sure the time slot that was for tattooing was spent sitting on weird cement in a small nook on Frances street.

IT HAPPENS

but hopefully it will happen soon.

next time I'll have to remember that wallowing is not as cool as getting a tattoo.

eternally XOX

last night was my first night of collecting pictures of stick and poke tattoos.  I'll continue to post more pictures as I get them......

fun fact: chris tattooed that cat onto his own leg

SKIN FUNERAL

we get to play a show this saturday for a motorcycle shop's summer party.  when I first met some of these guys I was kind of afraid of them but it turns out they are all KITTENS. some of them do stick and poke tattoos and are really really good at them.  my brother and I are planning on getting our first tattoos ever, a la banger. I keep talking a big story but I'm the ultimate sissy, so we'll see if it actually happens.  IF it does.. you'll hear about it here!

I also want to post some pictures of all my friends amazing banger tattoos.. SOON!
