Ahhhhhhh...It feels good to be in my own bed. I've been spending more time on other people's couches and floors. It's kinda fun, but it's also nice to be with my wubbie!
Got Reiki'd yesterday...it was grand. I really don't know what to say about it (only good things). Jules is fuckin' awesome and she's got a great sense of the other world. She made me some bitchin' herbal tea, which I needed after trying to find her house! We talked for a bit, then guided me through the meditation process. She was very patient. I kept going out of body and losing my rhythmn. I walked in not knowing what to expect, and walked out of there feeling like I was high. I kept seeing swirly spirals in front of my eyes. Supposedly, those are my chakras being all happy. It was a great experience. I think now I might be ready for a massage!
Work was fun today. I got there a little late (had plenty of time before we opened). We were up late last night playing some dvd game on the telly. Of course it was about movie stuff, but I managed pretty well. Our team got hosed anyway. We think the other team cheated.
AA was quite a contrast since yesterday. I walked in yesterday and the place was bombin'. There were people EVERYWHERE! Brian said it was like a snowball effect...One person came in to get tattooed, then their 'support' friend decided to get tattooed as well, so on and so forth. Today, there wasn't much going on. I guess everyone is preparing for the holidays.
I got a few drawings done today, and had a visit from a previous client. We decided to do a tiny touch-up on his tattoo. I gave him the tour and we talked for a bit prior to sitting him down. He's a great guy who I am grateful to have met. I am meeting so many cool people up there. It seems there is a better sense of art, as well as more imagination. Sure, tribals, butterflies, and lettering are everywhere, but I'm more and more excited to talk to people. Not that I didn't enjoy it before, I love intereacting with people despite my shyness. I just found myself getting more and more disappointed when I would talk to a client who I considered a little out of the ordinary, and they would bring me the same tribal/armband/kid's's's's's's's's names' Harley shield/rose cover-up. There seems to be much more variety amongst clients up there. Variety = GoOOoOoOooooooood.
Hmmm, what else...still working on an oni drawing. We are collaborating on a body suit project as well. It's still in the brainstorming process, so it's not off the ground just yet. I find the four of us at AA really bounce off of each other. The exchange of ideas, jokes, and advice is soooooo good. Brian kinda does his own thing, but still is an active part of our conversations. I don't see too much of Ryan, but he is definetely grown since going back to school. I never really hung out with Landon prior, but I hope is more comfortable with my presence. I enjoy working with him, and it seems he's lightened up a lot since I started full-time. The counter girls are great, they are always on top of things and know how to light up the party!
Don't get me wrong, there was a lot of shit at CG, but I took advantage of the good times. I just don't think anyone ever realized I was smiling my face off during the good moments. I don't feel frustrated or excluded at all with the new digs. I don't feel like I have to walk on egg shells or be weary when people are just having a 'quiet' day. My nerves have finally found relief, and I feel like me again.
