Campbell's 'Soup at Hand' is God's greatest creation.

Don't you love how this says, "Soup at Hand....soup" What else would it be in there? Soup at Hand ...rice.

When someone asks me if I'd like a receipt, I always respond with, "Uhh...sure," When I know that it'll just end up in a crumpled heap at the bottom of my purse with the others. Why do I do this? These receipts are kind of like drama, or unsavory situations in life. If you don't want a whole bunch of them building up, then don't ask for them. You have the option. And that is the metaphor of the day, kids.

God, I'm deep. I am now 18, so I thought I'd pass on some of my newly acquired adult wisdom. Ok if I had any adult wisdom, I'd pass it on, really I swear. I unfortunately don't have any of that, but I do have a picture of the first real adult thing I did. As dirty as that sounds, I'm just talking about my tattoo....

It says "Sempre Famiglia" which means 'forever family' in Italian. I think my sister and mom are getting matching ones :) It surprisingly was not painful at all. It hurt a little over my hip bone, but it was bearable. It just felt like scratching. I definitely want to get another one, maybe the one I intended to get in the first place, which was the Shakespeare quote. On my actual birthday day, I went to Guru Tattoo in Pacific Beach, and the people there were really kind of rude and acted all elitist. They were WAY overpriced too. I hated the vibe there. So I didn't get a tattoo on my birthday. The next day I went to a shop by my house that my sister's boyfriend had gone to, and it was a really nice, relaxed atmosphere. The guys were really nice and cool, and there were no "holier than thou" attitudes anywhere, which was nice. I got my tattoo done by a French guy named Denny, and it looks amazinggg. I'll definitely go back there.

I also went to a drag-show restaurant place on my birthday night called Lips. It was uhh...interesting. I'll say that much. I hate when people try to drag me on stage, or like make a scene because it's my birthday or something, so I was scared to death the entire time that they'd try to take me on the stage with them. Not that I'd really mind, I just would be really embarrassed with everyone in the entire restaurant staring at me. So yeah...interesting.

Overall, I don't feel much different being 18. It's just kind of a bummer that I can now be scheduled to work 5 hours at Hollister. They only pay you for 4.5 hours, because you get a 30 minute break instead of 15 minutes, so for that extra 45 minutes that I have to work, I get a grand total of $4 more. SO. NOT. WORTH. IT.

And then yesterday was Halloween. I worked, then came home and handed out candy. I don't ever think I'll go out on Halloween. It's not my thing. I'm such a homelover it's ridiculous.

I also plan to go blonder soon. :D Stay tuned.

HOT- The new CD playing at Hollister. It has 'Kelsey' by Metro Station which is my faaaavorite song by them. And it has a pop-punk version of 'Silver Bells' mixed in as well. <3

NOT- How itchy my tattoo is. D: ahhhh must. scratch.
