Alice? Hardly.

I've been over-thinking the idea of a tattoo. There are so many choices, but I want to get a tattoo that fits ME! I'm super unusual and unique, but I suppose everybody is unique. The members of my church really don't support this particular style of expressing myself. All they have are opinions. It really just makes me angry. We even had a debate where we looked up in the bible where it says we shouldn't get tattoos. This is what it said:

"Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourself. I am the LORD." -Leviticus 19:28.

This was super disappointing to read, but then I did some more research. Reading all of Leviticus 19:23-28 proved something else to me. In this passage, God is telling the covanent people to stay away from other religious practices that will lead them astray. Practices such as eating bloody meat, fortune telling, certain hair cutting similar to priests of false cults, cutting or marking the body for dead relatives, etc.. These prohibited religious practices do not refer to tattoos meant for the decor of the body. Decorative tattoos aren't always used for connections to cultic religious worship. That's just silly.

Anchor tattoos really strike my fancy. I read in another blog that it symbolizes stability..and unwillingness to change. That's not always a bad thing.

Hurray for tattoos!

On saturday, I went to Solo and Ensemble in Cadillac. I played my flute in a duet and in a trio as well. It was a very successful day after earning a Division I rating for both performances. After such a great day, I remembered how much I love participating in these out-of-school, musical activities! Blue ribboned medals sure do look great on my jacket!

I ran into somebody that lies a lot...that little encounter always hurts the worse, and it's always sore for awhile afterwards.

I have recently bumped into a predicament...I'm not sure how to explain it, but I'm sure it will be okay. We shall see.

These were my thoughts for the moment. I wish I had a long enough attention span to spill some more thoughts on this page. I used to be able to dump out the whole dish of beans...something might have happened between then and now, but I'm not quite absolute about that.

Waaaaay full of it, and it's still early,
Emily Page.
