Ooh, good call. Wow! That was...not what I expected when I clicked the link. They are very curly. They look like stuffed animals. Giant awesome stuffed animals.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, this tattoo is a mindfuck. I would not be able to not stare.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I figure that's the point. If people are going to stare anyway, give 'em something to stare at on his own terms. I kinda think it's awesome.
But I am currently obsessed with ink right now. Okay, actually, I'm currently obsessed with finding photos that show the left side of Tom Hardy's tattoos. Most of the shots are of the right side, which I can understand, what with the awesome and everything. But I'm pretty sure the left side would be awesome too, if I could find pics.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I imagine the person gets stares regardless, so why not make them interesting? Woah.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I would not be able to not stare.
Me neither.
At one point I was thinking of getting a "zipper" tattoo on my knee, on top of my surgery scar. But that tattoo is a lot freakier....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
See, I can easily not stare at an amputated limb. I would be glued to the eye-freakery of that tat. I completely couldn't have guessed what it was before the full shot.
Liese, don't make me search for you. Have you looked at the new Tom Hardy Party web site?
Amy - Dec 08, 2010 7:23:53 am PST #9609 of 30001
Because books.
Searching out pictures of Tom Hardy seems like a perfectly cromulent way to spend the time before Onerous Tasks begins! I approve!
As long as you share your findings.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So yesterday I learned that my sense of the Ancient History timeline is riddled with wrongness.
I picked up a new biography on Cleopatra and was startled to find a few choice facts. I quizzed JZ on these and she had a roughly accurate notion of what occurred when, so I will put it to Natter.
Ancient History Quiz (no googling)
How many years between Nefertiti and Cleopatra?
Answer: 1300
How man years between the death of Cleopatra and the birth of Christ?
Answer: Twenty five years or so.
The next one I should of known if I'd thought about it for more than ten minutes, but I was still surprised.
What was Cleopatra's ethnicity?
Answer: Macedonian Greek. With a little bit of Persian.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So clearly I need to spend more time on the History Channel.
