Today, I REMEMBERED!

Tatoos...

funny story about this little guy!
My parents gave me $50 for my 18th birthday to buy whatever I wanted.
THIS was it!
No rhyme or reason, just the fact that I thought I'd be COOL with a Tatoo. (um..didn't work!)
So, I go in there thinking I wanted something cute and whimsical. Then I realized that is exactly what i didn't want, but I didn't know WHAT I wanted.
The man picked out this and told me he had just drawn it etc...
What the hell, so I picked it.
Half way through he told me that I was really brave to put myself out there like that. He didn't know many people that would let the world see something so intimate just by looking at them on the street.
Of course, I had NO idea what he was talking about and started getting really nervous.
I asked what he meant and he said, "oh didn't you know that this is quickly becoming the universal lesbian symbol?"
WHAT??
hahahahahahahahaha!
I think I turned 5 shades of red!
He of course was kidding, but he SURE got me!
It was really funny because I was so lightheaded that his 4 yr old daughter was feeding me candy!
Fun day!
Wish I would have gotten something else though, but hey, it will always remind me of my youth!
