I like striped socks.

My new job is going splendidly, just as I thought and hoped it would. I do 12-13 hour shifts, three per week, which is super because I get the rest of the days to myself! I love the people I work with so far, and I love the patients. Old people can be genuinely hilarious and a joy to work with. I worked with a 96 year-old man the other day who is sharp as a tack, a true gentleman (except when he gets out of bed and just lets the back of his gown fly open), and has many interesting stories to tell from 1913 to the present. He says that it's really nice to be his age because all the people you know are dead and you can do whatever the hell you want. ;)

I still haven't gotten my tattoo yet. The snow was what messed up my financial situation this time around. I just sit back and laugh now, but it seems that things are turning up. I'm not worried about it. I have my design and I'll get the blasted thing done one of these days.

I joined a group on Flickr called "Project 365," thanks to my friend Kristen B. It's a group to which you add a picture you take on a daily basis; thus, you are forced to get off your ass and be a photographer every day for a year. I really like the challenge of that, because it will help me to be innovative each day.

What else? I'm going on a dinner date with my friend Jason on Thursday. He's a really hot Asian (I know Joey will appreciate that one!), and he loves photography (major points), is a great cuddler, and has a good sense of humor. He's smart, too, which is a must-have trait for me. So, overall, this guy has a good shot....so we'll see how it develops! I'm also emailing with my friend Jonathan, who is a Marine currently on his way back to the States from his second deployment overseas, so we'll probably go on a date or two when he returns. I like this whole single life thing. ;)

Other than that, nothing much else is new. I went for tea and shopping with my mum today, which was grand! Hope you are well.
