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.
