"can't waste time so give it a moment"

maybe this has been clear in recent postings. maybe it hasn't. but, i'm kind of interested in the idea of getting a tattoo.

andrew tried to get me to get one when he came to visit before christmas. and i said i would think about it.

now, i think this is totally crazy. ME. getting a TATTOO. is it totally crazy?

especially in the last few days, i've even been considering it more. earlier tonight i was even googling information about tattoos, designs, etc. and then i realized what i was doing and said, "wait, what?!" and then stopped.

but then, i was cleaning off my kitchen table and found a green envelope. i thought, "hm, what's inside here?" and i pulled out the piece of paper inside, and it was a $10 off any piercing, tattoo or tanning package from some local parlour.

and i remember getting it in the mail. and i thought, "why would i save this?" it was from a while ago. like, maybe early december. why would i save that? i've vowed never to get another piercing. and tanning is out of the question. i must have subconsciously known that in the near future i might seriously be considering getting a tattoo.

AND THEN.

just now. like, ten minutes ago, i said, "oo i'll read my horoscope for today (saturday)!" and so i did.

AND THIS is what it says:
If you've been considering a major renovation to your look, now is the time to get that new hairstyle, tattoo or wardrobe upgrade. It may be superficial, but it does affect you at a deeper level as well.

FOR REALZ. now, when i was reading it, i read the first part "if you've been considering a major renovation to your look" and immediately thought, "actually, i have." and then they list 'tattoo' as one of the choices! and then i got butterflies in my stomach.

because,
1. i just got a new haircut (my supercuts super cut.)
2. and i just got a wardrobe upgrade (red plaid shirt!)

so, the only one that really applies is tattoo. isn't that weird?

man. i think that's crazy.

but then i think about how freaking cool the tattoo would look with my red plaid shirt. am i right?! yes.

i wouldn't want the tattoo to be big. maybe like, a little bigger than a quarter. silver dollar? how big are those? maybe the size of a toonie. (canadian 2 dollar coin)

that's a good size for a compass.

man. this is some crazy internal debate going on right now. did i ever think i would be debating on whether or not to get a tattoo? NO.

pretty soon i'm going to start doing other things i promised myself i would never do.

like, swearing.

(although, sometimes i swear when i'm alone and then i feel bad about it. that's my confession for the day.)

sometimes, i wish i swore. because i think sometimes it sounds really good. but, mainly just good on other people. i don't think i would be a good swearer.

also, i can't swear about Ruby Tuesday because she's just a baby!

no. i will still try my hardest not to swear.

the tattoo is still an open discussion, though. what do you think?

MAN. it's just so permanent. like, i feel that nothing in my life has ever been as permanent as a tattoo would be. except for my piercing, i guess.

perhaps this is just my 'almost 4am' self talking.

maybe tomorrow i'll wake up and not even remember writing this blog post. like a few weeks ago when i pulled my all-nighter and totally didn't remember confessing my love for Tony in that blog post. i still think that's crazy.

so today, the Ben Folds song of the day has been 'Fred Jones, Part 2.' can't stop listening to it. that harmony at the end? yeah. son of a gun. so good.

and actually, i have been wondering about this. and thinking that maybe because i've been listening to Crash Kings so much, that somehow their piano rock music has reawakened my Folds love.

Tony always talks about how much he loved Ben Folds Five and that's why he wanted to start another piano rock trio. i guess it would make sense that i've been inspired to listen to Ben Folds again recently.

also - that band, Paper Tongues? yeah. they remind me of The Bravery. i only know one song by The Bravery. but, Paper Tongues reminds me of that one song.

hm. ok.

UM. OK. WHOA. I JUST GOT THE BEST GOOGLE MAIL NOTIFICATION EVER.

i signed up for the Google Mail Notifier, that does a little pop up every time you have a new email. and it makes a little 'ding' noise. and i JUST heard the ding and looked over at the little pop up telling me what my new email was....

"Robert Schwartzman is now following you on Twitter!"

for realz. that's the email i just got. at 4am. 1am los angeles time. um, wow. this is an amazing time in my life right now.

reading that email and seeing the names "julie evans" next to the name "robert schwartzman" is pretty much all i need to be happy. i've reached my life goal.

actually, remember when i shook robert's hand? yeah. and kara touched his chest. wow. that was a good night.

i should go to bed now before i start freaking out with excitement.




sorry. i just needed a visual. and heck, it's always good for your eyes to look at some Schwartzman. i believe that was recently proven by the American Medical Association. i think robert looks like jason in that picture.

ANYWAYS.

OH OH!!! i have more exciting news!!!!!!!!

i painted my nails SILVER!!!! yes. silver. i feel like i'm in Star Trek. i don't think they had silver nails. but, they would.

one of the residents here let me borrow her silver nail polish after i was admiring it on her nails the other night. AWESOME, right? yeah.

i might buy this nail polish that supposed to be the "it color" right now. it's called Mint Candy Apple and it's from essie.com. i like the color a lot. it reminds me of Sarah Jessica Parker's Academy Awards dress from last year.

i also decided that i want a "smoke" nail polish. like, dark grey. i'll make it happen, don't worry.

this spring might bring changes to my life. next time you see me, i could be walking around in a red plaid shirt, orange scarf, compass tattoo on my arm, with mint green nail polish, tweeting back and forth with robert schwartzman!

wow. that's like the ideal version of myself. just walking around like that...

aw man. ok. NOW i have to go to bed before i get too far into fantasy land. also known as: my head.

have a great saturday! go out and do something fun! treat yourself to some lovely.

my dad is with me again! so far, we're having fun. not sure what today will bring. we'll see where it goes.

when i woke up friday morning i never thought that by the end of the day r.schwartz would be following me on twitter. and now look!

ok. for realz.

good afternoon, good morning and good night!
