Day 168: Modification

Coming up on Thursday: Body Modification!

I haven't entirely decided what I'll be getting. I was planning on getting nose piercings, but my parents have already expressed their extreme displeasure at the idea ("we'll stop supporting you" sort of stuff), so I have to come up with something else. My 101:1001 list offers up dermals and labia piercings; the former isn't a terrible idea, and the latter is a bit too personal for not having a piercer I know and trust. I want dermals down my back and on my ring finger, but I've been wanting surface piercings on my chest for quite some time, and that might win out.

I finished 5 books for fun! The last one was called "Night Life" by Caitlin Kittredge, which was quite enjoyable. All five books were, really, though most of them were dredge of the literary world. I can't give you all the titles simply because I didn't document them, though two were from the Gloriana St Claire series, one was an Argeneau novel, and the fourth remains a mystery.

I received my sketchbook, so I'm starting to brainstorm ideas. Unfortunately, there's no theme to go by for my journal, making it infinitely harder to come up with ideas. At least a theme gave a starting point to sprout off from. I might just do last year's theme in this year's sketchbook (Time Traveler). I had plenty of ideas for that; I just never had or found the time to sit down and do it. I'm currently looking into buying some new art supplies for my sketchbook. Mainly pencils, spray paints, and pastels.

That's all for now, I suspect. I plan to focus more on my list in the next coming months, especially once I get my short break from my esthetics program. I'm hoping to get some externing done, as well as helping out with a creative team project, so my break between CIDESCO and esthetics will be a nice size.
