1. Tell us something(s) you love about yourself! I think that I have a pretty awesome sense of humor. I entertain myself greatly, and others seem to appreciate it as well.

2. What one word you use a lot (or even overuse)? Fuck, for sure. I don't swear at work, or around kids, so I am not sure why I need to do so otherwise...but it is a good word.

3. If you were to get a tattoo today, what would it say or what would the graphic be? This is tough, because I would be okay being covered. I think that I would like #7 to be something about strength. Maybe a Bible verse or phrase. My sisters and I have talked about getting matching ones, but right now, I am not in a good place emotionally with my family.

1. Tell us something(s) you love about yourself!
I love that I stand strong in my convictions. I am happy to have people disagree with me, but there are things that I believe and believe in that are unwaivering. I am proud of myself for getting there at 31 years old.

2. What one word you use a lot (or even overuse)? Friend. I call everyone friend. "hi friend", "how are you today friend" etc.

3. If you were to get a tattoo today, what would it say or what would the graphic be? this would be tattoo number two. it would probably be on my ribcage and it would say "Omm". I'd like my mother to handwrite it. Omm in Maltese means mother. I'm about to become one, and to have my own write the word, would be awesome.

1. I love my eyes mostly because they are somewhat unique in their shade of hazel and I love my ability to be assertive and stand up for what I believe in. (Side note: I'm trying to do this everyday)

2. Totally. Nothing just is, it totally is.

3. It would be some sort of reference to Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven.

Perhaps this: Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.” With a raven. On my back, the top half.

I like the sound of that, maybe I'll get a T-shirt made.

1. Tell us something(s) you love about yourself!
I love that I'm finally starting to stand up for myself. I used to just take it until I exploded (which always ended horribly). I guess it took the mama bear in me to come out to stand up for myself and my family.


2. What one word you use a lot (or even overuse)?
Ridiculous. It's even my most typed word on my phone. And now I'm embarrassed lol.


3. If you were to get a tattoo today, what would it say or what would the graphic be?
It would have something to do with DS. His initials or birthday in a small, simple graphic. I obviously haven't worked out the logistics yet, but it is on the agenda once I stop breast feeding.

1. Tell us something(s) you love about yourself! Physically, I love how much I resemble my family. I know that might be strange, and i know a lot of people who don't like how much they resemble their family, but I live that you can look at any me and any member of my family, and go "Ah, yes, they are obviously related." In personality, I love how good I am at standing up for myself I am. When I was young, I was around a lot of people, women especially, that took a lot of shit from other people, and I think that probably why I don't.

2. What one word you use a lot (or even overuse)? I have quite a few sayings that I overuse; currently its been "Yeah, sure." Even if I'm really excited about something, if you ask me if I want to go, I'll reply "Yeah, sure."

3. If you were to get a tattoo today, what would it say or what would the graphic be? I already have five tattoos, all of which are mythology related. I've been thinking about getting a very much simplified version of this tattoo'd since I first seen it, but I don;t know where.

1. Tell us something(s) you love about yourself!
I'm a very loyal friend and always keep my word/promises.

2. What one word you use a lot (or even overuse)?
Always (see above!) My wife makes fun of me for my certainty, and I try to stop and or correct myself when I say it!

3. If you were to get a tattoo today, what would it say or what would the graphic be?
I have no clue! I have 2 others, neither of which I really love today, so I'll go with wittyandwaiting here and say I'll just get a t-shirt made this time!

How did you figure this out?! I'm totally intrigued now what mine is!!

[megd893]

ionaerebor - why that tattoo? what is it/does it represent? PS - I entirely relate about family resemblance. I look a lot like my Ma, and I love it
wittyandwaiting - I love that you knew what you wanted for a tattoo and then immediately said maybe you'd get a t-shirt made

1. Tell us something(s) you love about yourself!
I love my ambition.
2. What one word you use a lot (or even overuse)?

What

3. If you were to get a tattoo today, what would it say or what would the graphic be?

It would be something relating to my grandmother.   Something to do with an angel and her being in heaven.

megd893, It's of Freyja and her boar, whose most commonly know as the the goddess of love and beauty, but she was also the goddess of war and death, and magic. To be honest, she's just a general badass. She was one of the most powerful seers in the Norse Pantheon, and was taken hostage along with her brother and father as a young woman by the Aesir, who then forced her to divorce her husband, and she was never allowed to return to her homeland. And despite all that, she was (and still is) the most worshipped goddess of the Norse religion, and is the most well known goddess in northern europe. And though I can't relate to any of that, she was kind of my idol as a young woman. That picture in particular is always how I imagined her to be, whereas she's normally portrayed now as this damsel-in-distress, hyper-sexualised woman, and she wasn't really.

Sorry, that was probably far more than you wanted to know, but I could go on about most aspects of Norse Mythology for hours.

Awesome description  I think it's cool how much you love it!

ionaerebor that would be a GORGEOUS and AMAZING tattoo!!

1. Tell us something(s) you love about yourself! I love that I can be radical in a loving and compassionate way. The work I do isn't typical, and can be politically changed, but it involves being non-judgemental (something I'm always working on) and offering caring support to folks in a very personal way. I'm proud to have sought out this work and also that I'm good at it.

2. What one word you use a lot (or even overuse)? I have no idea, ha ha. SO says she doesn't know either Maybe it's just too late for us to figure it out. I should go to bed!

3. If you were to get a tattoo today, what would it say or what would the graphic be? I've been thinking about getting the quote, "You were made perfectly to be loved, and surely I have loved you my whole life long." but I just can't commit! I'll have to wait, anyway. The next one will be #4, I just need to make a final decision. I have a couple other ones that I'll get eventually...
