| Konnichiwa! okay, no need to explain, the title says it all. I'll start off with my friend's story. Her name is Kathie Chan and it's written by her. I absolutely loved the story that I had to put it up here. If you like her story, you can praise and worship her by emailing her at pure_angel666@hotmail.com. On with the short story! |
~GETTING INKED~I didn't say it eagerly or even like I was interested. I said plainly, simply, conversation-like, "What do you think about tattoos?" hoping that they wouldn't have much against it. ...BIG MISTAKE...Dead silence...my father, who was concentrating on carving perfect slices of meat off the turkey, was now wide-eyed and staring at me like I had told him I murdered somebody. My mother pretended not to hear, and my brother cracked a smile, knowing the outcome. Then, there was me. An invader on foreign land. Simultaneously, both my parents said, "You better not get one. Not in your life." |

| "Why not? It shouldn't matter to you what's on my body. I mean if I regret it I'll just hide it in another tattoo, or get it lasered off. Besides I'm not going to get something stupid like the name of my high school tattooed across my chest. And it's not about just getting a tattoo, it's about the design that intrigues people. It's a conversation-starter, a piece of art, and it's not ugly - it's quite nice, if you chose the right piece - like a nice butterfly. Besides, doesn't mom have her eyeliner tattooed on her? Please don't double-standard me." |
| If you can imagine, I didn't say it rudely or disrestpectfully, but clearly enough so that they knew I was serious, and I didn't want them to lecture me on not getting a tattoo because in their mind it's nothing but horrible and bad, bad in some way I don't know how. |

| Maybe it's the thought of getting something different and permanent that scares them so much. Maybe it's the thought of regretfulness that sometimes(but not too often) comes after realizing what you've done. |
| Oh well, I guess I'll never know why it scares them so much, but I know for sure that I'm[super-ticked] at them for looking down on me and assuming. If I can't get inked now, I decided that later in life I'll give my parental units a heart attack by becoming a tattoo artist...ahhh, the beauty of having dreams to look forward to... |

"Today I let go of all my fears The past has no power over me -Today is the beginning of a new life." "I may not be smart, but I know what love is." -Forrest Gump- "In order to love someone, you must love yourself first." -me- "Sometimes it seems like there are too many roads... and you are not sure that you will ever find the right one, but that's because we all make our own story... and exploring is how each new adventure is begun." "Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, the romance - and you find out you still care for that person." "A sad thing about life is when you meet someone that means a lot to you, only to find out in the end, that it was never bound to be and you just have to let go." "Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back, don't expect love in return, just wait for it to grow in their hearts but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours." "The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them with our own image, otherwise, we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them." "Never take on a fashion trend that doesn't flatter your figure." "When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often, we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us." -Helen Keller- "God created men before women because you always make a rough draft before a masterpiece." "Valentine's Day is a masochistic holiday. If you're in a relationship, then this is the one day you're supposed to say I love you and send gifts to ensure that it means more than the other 365 days of the year; and if you're single, you feel miserable." -Sarah Michelle Gellar- "Love can sometimes be magic. But magic can sometimes...just be an illusion." -Javan- "You have too many knives, but not one is sharp; not even sharp enough to cut bread." -Linn Yuen- "I have many problems, problems which can't be solved.

I despise being a star, yet I crave attention." -Faye Wong, a chinese singer- "We are not seperate in spirit, We are in it." -Plotinus- "I love you Not only for what you are But for what I am When I am with you" -Roy Croft, Love (first stanza)- "For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone ... People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed. Never throw out anybody. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm. As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others." -Audrey Hepburn- "To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly." -Henri Bergson- "Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself." -Leo Tolstoy- "Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be." -Thomas a Kempis- "We know what we are, but know not what we may be." -Shakespeare- "Cherish your vision; Cherish your ideals; Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, if you remain true to them, your world will at last be built." -James Allen- "Be the difference, that makes the difference." "Only time can heal your broken hearts, just as only time can heal *his* broken arms and legs." -Miss Piggy- "An organization is like a tree full of monkeys - all on different levels, some climbing up.
