What's going on in your life?

i got my first tattoo on friday!!

i'm not going to post a picture cuz my butt doesnt need to be on the internet. it's an asterisk, brown. i wanted it to look kinda like a henna tattoo, not quite sure if it does. i like it anyway.

Heh, I had already forgotten... We were speculating how the video would end up looking like as the nude dude in it has a star shape burned in his ass with a gingerbread... thingy. The star shaped metallic thing that you make star shaped gingerbread with, that is. Now that I checked (the video, not his ass), it seems that the star has faded somewhat and all that there's left is a faint brown star in his right buttock. I know the guy's mad, but I doubt he'll burn it again even if the star is fading :P

I guess I should make all my announcements in one go...
First up - I'm directing a play.  Think I've mentioned that already.  The rehearsal run has started (fourth rehearsal is tomorrow night) and so far it's looking good, not including the extra work I have to put in writing in an extra part, though it's only a pantomime so it pretty much writes itself.

Second up and probably bigger and better news...I'm engaged!  The girl I've been seeing (the director of the first play I was in with my theatre group) dropped a bit of a hint on my birthday that maybe a proposal might be welcomed (exact quote "I believe you should never get married before you're 30...oh wait, that's not a problem anymore, is it?") so after stringing her along for a while (can't be too eager with these things, don't you know) I popped the question...and she grinned and said "Let me think about itOkay!"

So yes, wedding on the way!  So far the wedding may involve pirates or possibly the final performance of the pantomime.  Scary times.

congrats. i'd love to hear the details on a pirate pantomimed wedding

[Tank]

Wow, congratulations to both of you!

Carib, we demand pictures. Or we're coming to your place and pelting you with tangerines.

Swash, same goes for you!

I was at a wedding in Texas this past weekend of a friend of mine from college. I was one of the groomsman. There were 5 groomsman, 5 bridesmaids/matrons, 1 groomswoman, and 1 Man of Honor (brother of the bride).

It was one of the most "attached" courts I've ever seen. 4 of the brides attendants were married, including her brother. Then of the groomsman, 3 of them were married (also friends from college), I'm in a long-term relationship, and the groomswoman was engaged. The other groomsman was a currently single gay guy. So of the 12 court members, only 3 were unattached.

Haven't done an update on myself in quite a while. Some pretty major stuff is going on.

1. Mom has cancer. We found this out in late November. It's cancer of the bile duct, is extremely rare, and usually has a very high mortality rate. We got lucky in that hers was found much sooner than this particular cancer is usually found. People don't start showing symptoms until the very late stages but she happened to have a blood test and something odd showed up. So the doctor ordered a scan to be safe and there it was. Her liver is currently 50% covered by it. She did a radioembolization first and is on her next to last round of chemo now. Then we wait a bit and she gets scanned again to check her progress. She has struggled some with the treatments but all in all I have to say that thus far it's not as bad as I imagined it would be on her.

2. I had surgery in December for my apnea. They did a UPPP which is where they cut out a lot of stuff in your throat to create a bigger breathing space. They also did what is called a Genioglossus Advancement which is repositioning where part of the tongue is attached so the back of it is basically tucked in to create a better airway. So far the surgery has worked quite well. I've gone from needing a BiPAP (air pressure both in and out) back to just needing a CPAP (just pressure in) and at about half the pressure I needed before. I still have to do a sleep study to check out my sleep officially but I can say that it's a big improvement.

3. My parents took in my step-dad's 12 year-old grand niece for the school year. She was struggling in school but they've got her doing much better. The plan is for her to go back this summer and stay back home but I know my parents are hoping she'll decide to come back. I hope so too. I get to play around with her on the Wii and introduce her to good movies and such.

Lots of other stuff has been going on with my family here in town but those are the major things.
