Oh, I almost forgot.

Because no family gathering would be complete without somebody saying something stupid about my tattoos ...

(My 14-year-old cousin says something about wanting a Breaking Benjamin tattoo.)
Me: NO. No boyfriend's name, no stupid cartoons, and NO BAND TATTOOS. If you're going to get anything, for God's sake, don't get something from a band. (Unless it's someone MUCH better than Breaking Benjamin, but I didn't tell her that.)
Her dad: Oh, come on, you have a movie tattoo! *points to my LotR tat*
Me: That's a book tattoo. I didn't get it because it was in the films. I got it because I wanted something from fantasy or horror literature.
Her dad: Yeah, but they made it into a movie, didn't they?
Me: *headdesk*

This, by the way, is the same man who got Elmer Fudd as a devil on his arm.

Oh, and somebody just called to cancel my overtime for tomorrow night at 10:30 at night. I mean, I know I work night shift, but come ON.

See, THAT'S okay. Zeppelin, Elvis, the Beatles, Hendrix ... something with some history. Breaking Benjamin? Oh, hell, no. Not unless they turn out to be Wyld Stallyns or something. (Not that I don't like them, but honestly.)

See, I tell my mother it's okay. She's like, "Meghan, what if you don't like them in a few years?" Well, that's well and good ... if in ten years I don't like Zeppelin anymore, at least I'll remember I ONCE had good taste!
