I'm So Excited / I'm So Scared
January 14, 2007 | permalink

I went with my sister The Star this evening to get her first tattoo. And believe me, I do mean first; she already has the next one planned out. In the picture is the shirt she wore especially for the occasion, which I thought was funny as hell.

She was really cute tonight, actually. She was nervous that it would be unbearably painful (it wasn't) and that she wouldn't be able to communicate what she wanted to the tattoo artist clearly enough (she was) or that she wouldn't like it as much as she'd thought she would once it was done (she loved it). It's been awhile since I felt 'big brotherly', if that makes any sense. While I am 4 1/2 years older, she is nearly thirty, and I've thought of her as an adult instead of as my kid sister for many years. Playing that role tonight was nice.

I was touched, actually, that she asked me to accompany her. The Star, as you might well imagine of someone who gets such a nickname, has no shortage of friends (both tattooed and not) who would have gladly gone with her and been her moral support. I'm really happy that I was able to be there with her tonight, instead.
