"my coworker's throwing this tattoo party type thing for me, september 8th."
"like you're tattooing people there?"
"yea."
"that's cool."
"yea. i wish i could invite more people and schedule more people for tattoos. so far only three are scheduled. three little ones. i wanna do more but i don't know if i'll have the time or engergy. ...know what would be so awesome? if i had like a partner-type figure, someone else who did tattoos, who could do these tattoo party things with me."
"i couldn't do it. i mean i'd want to but i suck at drawing, so i'd suck at it. i'm not a good choice."
"there's several people who have expressed interest in letting me teach them things but i don't know if i should. there's this one guy tim, and then there's this guy ed but he's really young. he's only like a teenager. then there's michelle...."
"michelle? she wants to do tattoos?"
"yea. she mentioned something about it."
"she's probably not a good choice. she has too much other stuff goin' on. she has other stupid stuff going on that she's always doing. she won't put the time into it that's needed. she won't take it seriously enough. she's not a good choice."
"ok. ...then again maybe i shouldn't be thinking about finding someone to teach; maybe i should be thinking about finding another apprenticeship and continuing my education. i already know there's still a lot more i could learn. i already know i could still be so much better. ....but whenever i think of the idea of looking around in shops around here for a new apprenticeship, i get afraid that the people i ask are going to know the people i used to work with. then they're going to ask those people about me and then those people are going to badmouth me."
"they would badmouth you?"
"maybe."
"why? what happened at the shops you used to work at?"
"my boss did me, so then i stopped respecting him so then i stopped listening to him so then that pissed him off and he fired me."
"did, like, sex?"
"yea."
"oh. haha. it's just funny the way you said it. you said it so like nonchalant. 'he did me.' ...well, you let him."
"well i said no the first time, and then he just kept trying. if someone keeps trying over and over again doesn't that kinda just make you think, 'oh, maybe there's a reason i should just give in' ?"
"yea. as in like, if i just give in then they're finally gonna stop bugging me?"
"yea. exactly."
"like you're tattooing people there?"
"yea."
"that's cool."
"yea. i wish i could invite more people and schedule more people for tattoos. so far only three are scheduled. three little ones. i wanna do more but i don't know if i'll have the time or engergy. ...know what would be so awesome? if i had like a partner-type figure, someone else who did tattoos, who could do these tattoo party things with me."
