because there's always a story

	So the tattoo is 'keep finding pieces of myself in yesterday' which is a line from Axium's "Clean Break." Yes that is David Cook's old band. No I'm not crazy. Well, okay I am. But I'm not just randomly tattooing myself with his lyrics because I think he's hot...
	Most of you probably don't know, but I've been unable to write for... ever. It feels like anyway. Whenever I sit down at the keyboard, or with journal and pen in hand, my mind just goes blank. And while I was never a terribly prolific poster, I've always written scenes and lines and little things that were really just for me.
	So enter my obsession with David Cook. He's hot. He's amazingly talented. And it turns out, I really dig his pre-Idol music. And one night I get my hands on some Axium mp3s. And I'm listening and he sings this line. "looking back on better days, keep finding pieces of myself in yesterday."
	And there it is. I open up Word and it's like. I don't even know. But the words are just pouring out of me. And within 15-20 minutes I've written 6 pages. It's nothing I'm ever going to post. It's something just for me. It may be lame, but I feel like he gave that back to me. And that's why I put his words on my body.

it's still kinda scabby and gross right now. hopefully it will look better within a couple days. definitely by tour. :)

here's the song. Axium - Clean Break or the live version where David tells you what the song is about. :D

IT LOOKS SO SO AWESOME.

[loveflyfree.livejournal.com]

thanks sweetie! how is yours healing?

[alwayseven.livejournal.com]

It looks disgusting. And it's itchy. But other than that it's AWESOME :DDD

[loveflyfree.livejournal.com]

omg mine is just coming off of the horribly itchy part. I swear yesterday I wanted to rip all the skin off of my arm.

pretty. :)

Yours looks AWESOME!

Mine, is terrible. I don't even wanna post pics of it for y'all! UGH

See, I think the dude went too deep and with too many repeated passes over the center bit, so mine is totally NOT healing nicely. I KNOW I'm gonna have to have touchups and that makes me a SAD SAD PANDA.

[loveflyfree.livejournal.com]

awwww sweetie. that sucks. because the star bits looked so fantastic!

and nawwwwww baby!Spencer. how so precious?!

[dramedy.livejournal.com]

<3! How pretty. I've always adored lyrical tats. I want "Something Wicked" on my hip. among other things.

ALSO, MY DAD SAID THAT I MIGHT BE ABLE TO GO WITH THEM TO PHOENIX. So tentatively plan for the second or third weekend in November? TENTATIVE, but HOPEFULLY. OMG. I know it's like two hours(I googled it), but it could work, right?

[loveflyfree.livejournal.com]

thanks! what I love most about it is that I can easily add to it. more lyrics or even like flower vines or something. it's going to be very easy to add on to. which I suppose is both a blessing and a curse.

and YAYE! two hours is nothing. I can totally zip down to the valley and pick you up. it's no problem. *bounces*

[dramedy.livejournal.com]

haha, yeah I can see that. some vines would be nice. >:D *enables*

WHEE. My mom is all for it, now that I just went and discussed it with them, but Dad is like, "FINISH SCHOOL THEN THINK ABOUT TRIPS. HURR." But I'll persuade him. :< :<

My dad's a jerk, changing his mind like that. >:X

[loveflyfree.livejournal.com]

it'll all work out. wheeeeeeeee!

[gothren.livejournal.com]

I wanna slap it so it stops itching. also slapping tats is fun. I may get a new one on sunday.

I'm feeling better and I miss you.

[loveflyfree.livejournal.com]

excellent. I want pictures. :)

and good! I miss you too. invitation to come visit is still open. ♥

[livehead16.livejournal.com]

oh, that is rad! as is the story behind it. :o) if you get to talk to him, you're going to show it to him, right? you better.

also, this - the live version where David tells you what the song is about - made me snicker loudly. hee.

12 days till too-ur!! \o/

[loveflyfree.livejournal.com]

thanks! I totally got it on a whim, but when the idea came to me it was just like. perfect.

and I do kinda want to show him. but really only if I can tell him the whole story because otherwise I'm just kinda the creepy fangirl who tattooed herself with his words. :)

the first time I heard the live version there was a lot of me yelling "DAVID I LOVE YOU." also I have a thing and love to hear boys swear.

12 days!!!! (also. your icon is SO PRETTY)

[livehead16.livejournal.com]

also I have a thing and love to hear boys swear.
i do believe that many of us share that particular "thing" with you. nothing beats the beginning of "creep", but the "clean break" intro is fun in its brevity. XD

your icon is SO PRETTY
thanks! so is yours. sunlit david FTW. natural light does lovely things for him.

[loveflyfree.livejournal.com]

ahahaha the beginning of "creep." I love the resigned 'dammit' after someone guesses the song.

yes. David + natural light = FTW

[expatiates.livejournal.com]

oh, LOVE! and the story makes me happy.

mmmm, i want a new tattoo. i need to make that happen.

[loveflyfree.livejournal.com]

thank you! I love it. I find myself spacing out and just staring at my own wrist a lot at work. heh.

gah. tattoos are so addictive. ♥

[wasoncedelight.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love the way it spirals around. PRETTY!

[loveflyfree.livejournal.com]

thanks! I planned on just getting it on my wrist and the artist was like 'ah. no.' when I told him what I wanted. and I didn't want anything else on my ankles (yet) so I asked if he could spiral it up my arm. I was worried it might look strange but it turned out pretty awesome. \o/

[monkiedude.livejournal.com]

Oh, groovy!
