YES, LET’S HAVE PARENTS REACTIONS TO TATTOOS THAT COULD BE QUESTIONABLE IF YOU CARE ABOUT THAT SORT OF THING STORY TIME! It feels like a Saturday, right? I’m bored.

That’s my Twin Peaks tattoo. Most construe it as an ode to pie and coffee which, well, sure, those are two of my other favorite things. (fact: that’s strawberry rhubarb pie, not cherry due to a lifelong avoidance of cherries after seeing my grandfather tie a knot in a stem. No one should see their grandfather do that, it is vulgar). 

My dad saw it for the first time about two months after I got it while we were taking his dog out for a poop. He did a double-take, stepped back, and said calmly, “Well, that’s your funniest tattoo, anyway.” This is true. He has never spoken of it again. 

Between this and the 1969 Peugeot I run errands on (something about girls’ butts and old French bikes), I am basically a lightning rod for total fucking creeps all of the time. Well done, me. 

lulinternet:

this is a hall and oates tattoo. this tattoo is on my body. every time any hall and oates related news surfaces, i get a barrage of ask box messages, emails, texts, IMs, etc, from friends and strangers ready to be the first person to let me know something new and cool (lol) has happened with hall and oates. 

today, i had the pleasure of being tagged in a facebook post about “callin’ oates” a new hotline that gives you the option to listen to four different hall and oates jams (and they’re all jams)

you should probably check it out, the number is (719) 26-OATES 

fun fact: i’ve cleared a bar that was over-capacity once when i karaoke’d option #1

another fun fact: the first time my dad saw my hall and oates tattoo he said “..is that your mother and i from our wedding??” (they’re divorced and he was horrified) and before i could answer he said, “…wait, is that prince?”
