Was just contemplating the logistics of my trip back to PA for my brother's birthday. As it is, I still have to scrape together bucks for his present. He said he wants some stupid video game, so I'm probably going to get him a gift card for Electronics Boutique.

But I said I was going to get him a tattoo, and damn it, I'm going to do it. You know, it's one thing for me to go to the tattoo parlor, but it's quite another thing for me to bring my poor, defenseless, strapping six-foot-tall brother to the tattoo parlor and pay for his horrible permanent scarring. Half the fun is going to be showing my grandparents, because they don't even know I have any tattoos, so they're sure as hell going to flip out when I proudly show off the never-going-away-ever-ever-ever-EVER picture I had inked into their only grandson.

You know what's the best part of all this? I was supposed to be the good child. *cackles maniacally, then dies laughing*

And that little bastard better not have grown any taller in the last few months. Damn it, I'm the older sister. I'm not supposed to stand next to him, look up, and glare as my inner Ralphie's Father snaps, "You used up all of the tall on purpose!"

In other news, I love Sublime's "Date Rape" way too much. Also, one of these days, I so need to make a Kaylee icon that says some variation of "Look, they have boywhores! Isn't that thoughtful?" 'Cause that's totally my personality, but that line ... *dies*

There is no such thing as loving "Date Rape" too much. Ever.

I wish I'd been able to do that with my much to tall baby brother. Unfortunatly he went out and bought himself a tattoo for his birthday. (and now wants me to get one that matchs his)

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

My reasoning to my mother is going to be, "Look, the kid was going to get a tattoo anyway. Which do you prefer ... he goes out with what little money he's scraped together and gets a crappy tattoo from a disreputable parlor, or I pay for it at a good place and suggest something that's not going to embarrass the hell out of him later on?" I figure that should keep me from getting slaughtered in my sleep when I go home for his birthday.

He wants something Chinese or tribal, though, so that shouldn't be too bad. And hell, if I like what he gets, I may get the same thing, too.

I'm still waiting for my mother to ask me again why an 18-year-old boy needs a tattoo, so that this time I can snap, "To more easily identify the body." 'Cause that won't piss her off. ;)

At least my mother likes tattoos, and wasn't to upset since little boy did get a nice tattoo and it was from a good place. Our dad on the other hand. We plan on showing off tattoos to him when he pisses us off.

Oh, I loved my dad's reactions to my first tattoos. I figured my mom would be pissed, but I was worried about my dad.

When I came home from the tattoo party and showed them to my parents, my mother's first reaction was, "You know, I've always wanted a tattoo." (And she said it with Bryan standing right there, so she can just shut it.) But my dad kinda laughed and said, "Is that permanent?"

Yes, Dad, I went to a tattoo party and was the only person to get two temporary tattoos. *eye roll*

My mom wants a tattoo, or she used to. Dad on the other hand used to freak when I had temporary ones. I can't wait to see his face when my brother shows dad his tattoo.

Parents are so odd.

::Is laughing too hard to move:: Mind if I Metaquote you on that?

Sure, go right on ahead. And thanks! :)

Heh. I'm the younger sister, but I can definately sympathize on that. At 6'2" my brother is taller than everyone in the family, including our older sister. As good sisterly types, we are not amused. Of course, just about everyone in our family is taller then I am, including two of my three nieces. The third one is only 6, I figure all she needs is time.

And people wonder why I always wear heals.
