Ink

Guess what time it is!

It’s Labor Day weekend!
It’s my last Friday as a 37-year-old!
It’s time for me to start thinking about redesigning the blog!
It’s Friday Five time! This week’s theme is Ink.

1. What are the coolest and ugliest tattoos you’ve ever seen?

Much like my weird desire to get a navel ring before I turned 35, I want a tattoo before I turn 40. At this rate I’ll have a blue mowhawk at 50. But the tattoos I like are dainty and colorful, much like Joss Stone’s foot tattoo.

As for ugly…I don’t think peoples’ faces don’t translate well to tattooing. So the worst tattoo I saw was someone who had their child’s face on them and it was drawn poorly across the widest part of his arm and…wow.

Okay fine…I need to see this again.

2. Have you ever had a meal in which squid ink was an ingredient? How was it?

I had squid ink pasta once but I don’t remember it tasting differently than regular pasta. It was just purply black, which was a turn off in itself.

3. Are you one of those people who has a favorite pen, or one of those people who just uses whatever’s at hand? What’re your favorite pens like?

I’ve commandeered one of WM’s good pens and I use it at work for my tasklist and timesheet. Other than that, no…I use whatever’s around. I prefer pencils anyway.

4. There’s a box of colored markers on the table, and someone tells everyone assembled to grab one. If you have first pick, what do you take?

The Sharpie brand because they smell sooooo good. Oh, colorwise? Royal purple.

5. Have you ever written on a wall in a public place?

No. I’m too chicken to vandalize things. I have stuck angry post-it notes in places. I know…a post-it note. I’m such a revolutionary.
