laugh at me if you want
i've wanted a tattoo since long before everyone had them. now that everyone has them, it's not as exciting of a thought (as dan slowey once said, 'not having a tattoo is the new having a tattoo'), but i still think about it once in awhile. of course, if i got one i would want something more creative than a butterfly or a flower. what would i want? i would want something written in elvish. the script is so beautiful and it would be fairly unique. i just can't figure out what i would want it to say. i've considered 'eucatrastrophe,' but i'm not totally sold on it. and so i've been stumped for years. and then theonering.net tweeted this:
and someone responded with this:
that's tolkien's symbol, guys. so cool.

although i actually think tolkien would be anti-tattoos, so that won't work
Yes, but they are pretty...I like the flower one best...
Maybe you could just draw it on yourself for fun in permanent marker...then it doesn't hurt and will wash off eventually. You can change designs weekly!!! :-D
:)
and i prefer the non-flower one, actually
i saw a girl last night with a smiling banana on her arm. really? with all the options out there you choose to have a smiling banana on you for all time?
what's a eucatastrophe again?
a 'good catastrophe.' the amazing event that turns a story around for the good.
"...among the marvels [of the Gospel] is the greatest and most conceivable eucatastrophe. [This] story has entered History and the primary world...The Birth of Christ is the eucatastrophe of Man's history. The Resurrection is the eucatastrophe of the Incarnation. This story begins and ends in joy." - J.R.R.Tolkien
Ooh, that's good. Wonder if Wales could be a eucatastrophe. ;)
