Cassy In Her Own World

So, for the past two years I have been waiting for a time where a tattoo would not cost over 100 Euros, where my family or I had the money to spend on said tattoo and for myself to get the balls to do it. That time came yesterday. On Friday, May 20th, 2011 at 3:10 pm in Vienna, Austria at the Spirit Tattoo Studio, I got a tattoo. And it's permanent. And awesome. I debated long and hard what I would get. Chinese symbol that means something to me? A star cause I think it looks cool? Or something else? I finally found the answer when I was looking through old photo albums. I found a bunch of pictures of my father and I just remembered how he used to have a pin in the shape of the ace of spades. I don't know where the pin went -- after he died we got some of his things and I think it was in them, but we must have lost it at some point or my sister has it -- but I realized that my most prominent memory of him is in that pin. After having a rough time dealing with the fact th...

Write a letter to yourself. So, I kind of forgot about this one, so it's a little late...But to be fair, it's called the 30 Day Writing Challenge, not the 31 Day Writing Challenge. Dear Chloe,   I'm not really sure what they want me to write about in this one. But I've had that feeling before, remember? Your last few entries have been short ones, but there really wasn't much more to say, I guess, because what you wrote really did say it all. And hey, sometimes less really is more. I forgive you, I suppose. But if you do do this again in the future, try and elaborate a bit more. You know probably only 1 or 2 people are ever going to read it, but don't skimp! Maybe they want a little more than 2 sentences and a smiley.   Today is your four month anniversary with Eric. <3 It's good to know your heart still jumps when he says he loves you with no hinting (although yesterday you DID e-hug him into saying it, I suppose. But he could've just hugged b...

What WAS your biggest dream in life (you wanted to do as a kid but no longer can)? I wanted to be a veterinarian for the looooooongest time. But then I realized sometimes you had to hurt or kill animals and I couldn't bear doing that, so I gave the dream up. --Cassy

What is your biggest dream in life (what one thing do you want to accomplish)? My biggest dream that is in the realm of possibility would be to open my own hotel (however unlikely that is starting to look). My biggest pipe dream, that I really really really want but will most likely never ever ever get is to work behind the scenes on a movie or TV show set. Working with actors and directors, producers and technicians is my dream. Hard work that is fun at the same time, and even if it's just fetching coffee and water or something, it'd be worth it. Being a part of making movie magic, something I have been in love with since I can remember, meeting various actors that I've idolized in my mind to the point of no return, working with brilliant people with intriguing ideas I'd never be able to come up with...I want it really bad, but I just can't seem to make myself do something about it. I'm too scared of the possibility (the very likely possibility) of failure,...

What is your vocation? (Why are you here on Earth?) If I knew that, I'd get right to it. As it were, I do not know, therefore I cannot start. I could make guesses, I suppose, but what would that do? Ruin the magic, that's what. --Cassy

How do you handle/deal with both success and failure? I handle success with a smile on my face and failure with an even bigger one to hide my tears.
