A little bit of background, which you may or may not find interesting (I'm betting not):

On September 23, 2005, I wrote in my blog the following:

"Why are people always wetting themselves over the Killers? Jesus, they're almost as overrated as the White Stripes."

And on March 11, 2008 (aka today), I said:

"I'm going to go get a tattoo for my favorite band!"





But I still stand behind everything bad I've ever said about the White Stripes! (Oh, and please ignore the rest of my fat arm.)

Seriously, though; I almost never change my mind about anything. So I figure that The Killers, who first annoyed me to death with "Somebody Told Me," deserve some kind of commemoration for winning me over so thoroughly.

In non-tattoo news, I was pestered tonight by the most obnoxious teenage boy outside of Target. He had one of those petitions to get Proposition Blah Blah Blah on the ballot and I'm all, "I don't sign my name for anything I haven't done my own research on." He then got pissy and said, "You're not voting for it, it's just a petition. Do you know what that is?"

And I said, "I know what a petition is. Do you know what distraction-free shopping is?" and pointed to the sign indicating such. He then argued that I was only walking into the store, not actually shopping yet. Smartass.

He also said something irritating when I left but I just thought, "Whatevs, you're not bringing me down off my tattoo high!" Oh, yeah - his petition was about some measure that increases penalties for gang-related crimes. Like normal people, I'm against crime of any kind, but that kid was almost infuriating enough to make me change my mind.

The weather has been so beautiful the last few days that having to work in a windowless office all day has been just a drag. I went to the post office this morning to mail a package and was so tempted (more than usual) to just not go back! Ha.
