Okay, now I'm pissed. I had my entry all written out, I went away from the computer to get some lunch, and when I came back there was a blank screen in front of me. What the fuck?

I am not a happy girl right now. I just got some rather bad news from Rob. My 30th birthday is coming up and I wanted to get a dragon tattoo on my birthday. I still have two more tattoos I want to get. One is a dragon on the outside of my right ankle. The other is a hieroglyph of Bast on my left shoulder (facing the one of Set). There is one person I go to for all my tattoos, and that's Chester. All the tattoos I have were done by him. He is a tattoo god. He was able to do super intricate work on my devil dog. I've taken other people to him as well (my Mom, Carrie, Shannon, Chuck, and Kat) and they all seemed to like his work as well. Hell, he was the only person in the tattoo place who was able to do the super small and intricate handcuffs for Shannon. He's incredible. And wherever he was working is where I got my tattoos. From Sunset Strip Tattoo to Sacred Saint I followed him around. And I was planning on getting my other two ones from him as well. Looks like that's not going to happen now. Today, Rob called Sacred Saint to see if I could get an appointment with Chester on my birthday. Not only is Sacred Saint no longer around, but Chester has retired and the former owner of Sacred Saint has no way to contact him. My tattoo god has retired! Fuck! I wish I would have know this, I would have gotten my last two tattoos done by him when I could have. I am not a happy girl. So, unless I can find another kick ass tattoo artist ASAP, it looks like I won't be getting that dragon done on my 30th.

So, other plans... anyone up for heading to Disneyland on Tuesday October 26? I want to do *something* for my b-day. I'm not a party person, but I've never just gone out with friends and had fun on a b-day. I figure, for 30, it's time to start.

I still need to find a new tattoo artist. If anyone out there knows of anyone who can do detailed and intricate work, please let me know. I'll need to see samples of their work before deciding whether to use them or not, but any leads would be greatly appreciated. Fuck. I need a new tattoo artist. But how do I find one that I know can do what I want done and have it look good? I want Chester back. At least for two more tattoos. Fuck.

Okay, on to other things. Yesterday I got my Heart perfume in the mail. It smells exactly like it used to. Rob likes the smell as well. I just think it smells like me. So, I now have my Heart perfume back. Yay! That's going to be my day to day perfume.

Last night Rob and I headed to the Sherman Oaks mall. I needed suits. Our first stop was at Coach to look around. Our second stop was at Sephora. In there I found incredible perfume (and body stuff) for a sexier "night out" scent. It's called Creamy and is by Dessert. It smells (and tastes) like vanilla. No kidding, the lotions, perfumes, etc. all actually taste like vanilla. I put some on and let Rob try it. Let's just say he really likes it. So, I now have the perfect every day scent (Garden Botanika's Heart) and the perfect sexy night out scent (Dessert's Creamy). Hooray for something. Our third stop was at the Limited Too to see if they had any Meepits. They didn't. Our fourth stop was at the food court for some Panda Express. Our fifth stop was at Lane Bryant for suits. I ended up getting three. All of the pants need to be shortened and the sleeves on two of the jackets need to be shortened. I'll see if my Mom can do it when she comes out here (hopefully next month), and if not I'll see if Milt and Edie's still does alterations. One suit is black with dark blue pinstripes, the other is black with dark pink pinstripes, and the last is grey. They all look very good and professional. Rob loves the grey one. So, I now have a total of five suits. Not bad for now, but I'll probably need more once some place actually deems me worthy of employment. My last stop was at a beauty supply store to pick up a bottle of Nail Envy. That stuff works really well.

Last night before going to bed, I totally ruined my manicure. I picked up the bottle of Heart, and the cap wasn't screwed on all the way. A decent amount of it spilled out (can you tell how my luck is going recently) and got on my nails. It totally eroded the polish. Not a big. I just took the polish off. But I did lose a decent amount of the perfume. *grumbles*

So, I'm not in a very good mood at the moment. I've lost my tattoo god and I need to find a new one because I really want to get that dragon done. Grr. I don't mind doing something like Disneyland on my b-day, but I have a feeling most of my friends won't be able to make it due to work or school. Oh well. I can be happy with a small group. I just don't want to drive. I hate driving, I'm sick of it, and I don't want to drive on my b-day. So who knows, I might just do the usual and make my b-day a normal day of nothing special. We'll see.
