So as stated before I am a nerd. there is no way to sugar coat it. I'm a full blown dork. I'm coming to terms with it. My husband is constantly berated by me joking that he is a nerd but in reality I'm the level 500 geek. 

here is some of the ways i love to geek out. (please do not judge me as these are not the typical cool nerdy things) 

1. I love to watch people play video games. I say watch because I like to navigate. I'm not good at controlling the character but I love to be a helper. I'm the perfect match for Jesse because he is great at controlling but not so good at solving riddles and remembering where to go.  We have recently played Fable 1 & 2 (we have 3 but i'm kinda board with it), Assassin creed, Castlevainia, and we are currently on Darksiders. 

2. ok, this is my most recent nerdy hobby but i'm in love with it. Magic the Gathering!!

it's a strategy card game. I remembered kids playing this in middle school but I probably just made fun of them instead of giving it a chance.  Well it's the most fun. it was a little rough trying to learn the rules but after a night of fighting with jesse over the difference of flying attacks vs vigilance attacks and what power and strength meant I was hooked. It wasn't hard to hook our roommate and a visiting friend Wendy too. Magic is like Twilight you make the most fun of it until you secretly give it a try then you're hooked and there is no way out. 

3. I love to do math. Almost at anytime i'm doing math problems in my head. I have no idea where this comes from but i've always enjoyed it. I got a email from a friend sending me a link to this awesome tutorial web site where you can learn pretty much anything. On the site they have math tests and i spent hours the other night doing them for fun. Jesse is still making fun of me. Who does that!?!? If you do please let me know i'm not alone!

So i think i better end there in risk of losing the few followers i have! 

So here are some pretty picture inspiration that I've been drooling over 

how freakin talented are these guys!!!?!?!?! I would love to work for them. they build/ make everything in their shoots. ehh in my dreams!!!!

My friend Nicolle is a genius. and check out my beautiful friend Kandy on the left.  

I could learn so much from the amazing lady. Most her work is all self portraits. super creative and stunning. the link is for her etsy account but she also has a blog 

well I could keep going for days but i'll save more for next week.

XOXO 

So as most of you know i'm a tattoo artist. I'm gonna start posting pictures of my favorite work from that week . 

When I started this blog a year ago I was very new to the  blogging scene. I was freshly pregnant and wanted away to journal my transformation to mommyhood. I have to admit that part of me just wanted to be cool and have a blog. Don't you know it's the cool thing to do. 

Quickly into my first year of blogging I kinda stopped caring. Life got busy and hectic and I put it on the back burner only updating once a month if at all. I didn't however stop reading other peoples' blogs. now that it's been a while and i've been following a lot of the same people I have realized what keeps me interested and coming back.  I love the girls that know who they are what they believe and what they stand for. they have their own opinions and style. they do not try to pretend to be cool are something they aren't. I am in no way dissing blogger quite the opposite. I'm commending those people out there that aren't blogging to be something they aren't but instead are proud of who they are. 

Ok that being said. I know now, why i was bored with blogging and hardly ever posted. I never found my voice. I am NOT a writer!! I never have been and never will be a girl of many words. I'm awful with grammar and spelling and often times i just don't care.   Plus i felt like i needed to fit this mold of what all these other bloggers were doing.  I would only make posts about the things i thought other people would think was cool.  well I'm not really that cool. in fact i'm a nerd. a pretty big nerd. I'm Ok with it and maybe you find that interesting if you do please keeping following me cause for now on i'm letting my whole self shine!!! Here comes the nerd!!
