Things that are awesome and cool and \o/
Dec. 1st, 2009 01:47 pmBack on the first of November, I wrote/posted a poem called Calavera Road. Got some really nice responses to it, felt really pretty happy about it (and surprisingly, still do--rare for me to be like that).
But I received the absolute best compliment ever, truly ever, when someone on my friends list messaged me and asked if they could use the last two lines for a tattoo. This just blows me away even now, that something I wrote means enough to someone that they'd keep it with them like that, permanent, ink in skin. I know people do quote tattoos--but of major literary and historical figures. It's an awed, amazed feeling to think that someone'd do that from writing of mine.
Anyway, they had it done, and posted an image of it :D Coolest thing ever. http://poppymoon3.livejournal.com/9205.html Sounds like there'll be touch-ups, but I think it's really lovely already.
Seriously, coolest thing ever. If I can ever manage to get published in any form, I don't know if it would feel as wow as seeing something like that. Thanks, Poppy :) I owe ya a hug if we ever run into each other IRL.
