“I carry a quotation mark to the left and right of me,” said one of my favorite authors. Why quotes? When we say “good” or “bad” so quoted, means that it is not exactly what it seems. It means that the appearance, which is not exactly seem that we are .. “What is essential is invisible to the eye.”

Even as an “in progress” piece, it still looks fantastic. I need to remember to keep an eye on this one when she posts completed photos.

Sayreville New Jersey animal rescue center is closing due to sandy. They don't know what to do with animals and are giving them away for free. Tell your friends, they are going to euthanize what they can't save. The animals all have their shots, it's free adoptions.

“After all this time?”

“Always.”

in may, i got this tattoo, and my mother got one to match: the deathly hallows symbol with vsegda, the russian word for always, underneath. my mom and i have always been very close, and during a time when we couldn’t see each other as much, we began to bond over to harry potter. reading the books and watching the movies together.

so this tattoo symbolizes both our love for the series and that we will always be close, no matter what.

Speaking of awesome literary tattoos, LOOK HOW AMAZING this tattoo by Niki is!! The book closes when she closes her arm!! We are so jealous for not thinking of this.

feminineeffects:

my stick and pokes - a (not yet finished) comma and a period.

my way too contrived meaning:

i’ve always wanted a literary/writing tattoo near my hands to remind me to keep writing and keep going no matter what. it’s a visual reminder that the process has started and i just have to keep going and finish it up before i can move onto the next thing.

the comma means that i’ve already started the sentence — the hard part of beginning is over and the process has already begun, but maybe i’m just at a tricky spot and unsure of where to go next. the comma represents a pause and it’s needed so that you don’t run out of breath. it also separates ideas so that they don’t get confused and muddled up together.

the period is the end of the sentence — the goal, the endpoint, the finish line. but the end of the sentence is not necessarily the end of the story. a period is just the end of the thought. the logical conclusion. the thing that needs to happen to let the other, deeper, more meaningful things happen next. it’s seems like the end, but it’s not. the period is not final. it encourages you to continue on to the next sentence and to start the process over so you can see what happens next.

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
