Finally after three sessions, my tattoo is finally done! I love this so much and even though it was so incredibly painful, totally worth it.
Would you believe me if I said that the owl is covering two sparrows?

I love it!! He's super intense looking! Totally worth the pain
Do you mean he's covering the two birds in your profile picture?

Nick, I think that you're taking something way too seriously that was being done with a sense of humor.
Yup! They're under his wingsI love it!! He's super intense looking! Totally worth the pain

I was tired of people mistaking my sparrows for doves, hummingbirds, and basically everything that wasn't a sparrow lol
Is that an eagle?
Awesome! Where did you get it done?
I'm a total tattoo nerd, I love seeing pictures

Nick, you're doing that thing again where you see criticism and aggression where there is none. We liked the puns. Higgins was just being irreverent, which is his thing.
I actually fell asleep during the shading/colouring and scared the hell out of my tattoo artist. Because tattoo gun piercing my skin did not wake me....the freezing cold cleaner he used jolted me awake and made me go "Gyah!" Which in turn made him jump back in fear. Good times
It's clearly @Bubble181Is that an eagle?
He's so sneaky!
No, I'm doing that thing where I'm being needlessly criticized (and they're being a dick about the way it's being done) for just wanting to show something funny between my girlfriend and I.

Nick, you're considered a valued member of this forum.
As such, you're family.
As such, you will be treated like family.
This means one of the other forumites will punch you in the arm from time to time, or try to scare you with a rubber spider, or that sort of thing.
It's a gesture of familiarity.
If you don't like it, please say so.
But don't hide yourself away.

No. Sorry, but you are taking it all wrong. They were making silly jokes about a silly pun battle. Stop, go back, and read it again. You're overreacting.
I suspect that kind of needling touches a nerve with Nick that is more reminiscent of his dad criticizing him (a wild guess). It is friendly teasing to us but if it prods a tender nerve, then it isn't fun.
@ThatNickGuy, we love you. Not as much as @infamousalix loves you, mind, but still.
I slept on it and no, it still bothers me. Don't know why, but it does.
The fact that he never even bothered to say, "I'm sorry, I never intended to upset you" (even privately) just bothers me more.

Soooo.... a good time?
And the Epic Win is mine for having been too unwell to join you all?
At least it was only the cat that puked on your astronomy book. That's an Epic Win...sort of.
!! Don't tempt fate by typing that!!
Massive thunderstorm! Thunder lasting for over a count of 18!!!! But we are good and dry in fort awesome! War canoe tomorrow! Just finished the movie at visitors center .
All done moving except for a couple small things and 3 large things. This weekend we are watching the dog owned by the inlaws and tomorrow we will be at our new home. This has been worth the late nights at crap jobs and classes to lead up to what feels like a very productive life. Still need to ship for basic essentials to get us through the week and prepare for meals and such, but this feels wonderful. I don't think I've ever felt this good about my future.
I stole this and made my own version for my 8 year wedding anniversary next Monday! (been together since 2002 married in 2007)
