how to buy a bestie

Pin It

Tattoos.

Marriage.

Children.

Taxes.

Vampires.

These are things that last forever.  Most people are hideously scared of much of the list for one reason or another.

I am not scared of any of them.

As long as the vampire sparkles and has an extreme infatuation with me.

I have been married, didnt scare me one bit.

I am currently helping to raise those two semi-step kids, not scary.

Taxes…whatever, they come out of my check each payday.  Who cares.

Tattoos.  Tremendously awesome.

I currently have one.

I dont mind the ‘forever’ aspect of tattoos at all.  I am in love with the devotion and time it takes to pick one out.  The thought behind it, the tribute, the story, the action.

The only thing that scares me is the puke factor.

The what?

Yup, the Amanda is a freak who puked halfway through getting her tattoo and passed out factor.

One lonely tattoo.

It just sounds wrong to me.

There are no tattoo tea parties here…a party of one is a sad one indeed.

So it needs a friend.

A friend to have sleepovers and go shopping with.

A bestie.

I think her new friend will be coming very soon…

I love all of those things as well!! It took me years to figure out what kind of tattoo to get…plus I’m a weiner and don’t like pain. My sisters and my niece all got the same tattoo on our back that says “Famiglia Bella” Beautiful Family in Italian. But in order for me to not puke or pass out I had to put topical lidocain on the tattoo area before and took 2 vicodin!!! It helped tremendously!!! I want another one now too but need to get a hold of that lidocain shit!!!
Can’t wait to see what you come up with for your next one!!!

Nikki…I am getting an Italian tattoo as well! You’ll have to be surprised as to location and what it says!

OK, so I have to vote against tattoo #2. Sorry. I just don’t like tattoos. Maybe it’s the concept of them being “forever” that bothers me. Forever is a long time.

I vote you acquire a vampire boyfriend instead, because then they’d probably make a movie about the two of you and we could all buy little Amanda action figures and stuff.

I would LOVE to get a vampire boyfriend…as an added bonus I would give you lots of money. So thats always nice.

I already have a tat…so having another one is not a huge jump at this point. Sorry you dont like them. Ill hide it from you at work.

Ha! And apparently I’m the only one in the world who’s not a fan of tats. One of my sons, my sister and even my freaking MOTHER all have one.

Hahaha, so did you throw up from the one in 2006 or does this mean you got your wrist one over the weekend???? I can’t wait to see the new one when you get it!
