This Blog Post is partly inspired by Natalie and her Santiago comic con blog, the conversation I had with Kirsty and fact that it was my birthday the other day and I want to say thanks to some people.

First off, I’ve been after some ideas for a new tattoo for ages, I know I wanted the heroes helix but wanted it integrated in to something else if I could, so it wasn’t so obvious so in your face as: one I know that people judge and two I know that the concept of BAD tattoos is one that rubs me up the wrong way and I always put a lot of thought in to something so permanent.

With this in mind I wanted to be sure that the tattoo I wanted I wouldn’t be ashamed to show off in public.

Kirsty mentioned on twitter that she was going to get the Heroes helix as a tattoo as well after her friend got one I joked that we would be a cult as that was what I wanted as well.

And it was about this point that I realised that if I’m going to get this particular ink I’m not going to try and hide it.

Now there is logic behind this and stick with it because I may lose some of you.

The logic behind it is I cant think of one of closest friends that I cant say doesn’t show a love of the show Heroes. My best Friend Amy has recently become addicted to it and My closest Friends other than her I met through a Heroes convention. ( I did warn you in my first post I was a geek ).

Everything that has made me who I am now and what I am now ( god knows I used to be a right state) all stems down to the fact that one day I sat down and watched a Tv program recommended to me by my friend Paul. I typed the word Sylar on to a search and up popped the SARMY.

Now the Sarmy ( I know I’m preaching to the converted here) Are some of the most Amazing and fun people I have ever met, will likely ever meet and it’s a pleasure to know them. I was quite late in meeting up with this lot I’m signed up as member 311 but now were in our thousands and its not hard to see why I honestly love this bunch to bits.

Let me fill you in for them what don’t know… the Sarmy is sylarsarmy. (I’m guessing you know who Sylar is or you going to have quit reading by the time I mentioned heroes twice and you probably don’t know me very well anyway.) and we raise money for charity at conventions and through the internet check it out @ www.sylarsarmy.com .

But I digress this wasn’t my point at all !

This is my point.

I couldn’t ask for greater mates I really couldn’t. this time two years ago on my birthday I received no cards from anyone but my immediate family and I did nothing for my birthday at all. I was a right sorry state, my ex was a psycho who didn’t let me have friends, and then when I met someone new I didn’t know how to act because I had no friends of my own.

I decided to go to Eclipse because it was something I used to love doing and because the lovely people over at the Sarmy were going and although I was alone I wasn’t alone.

Since then I’ve not looked back, I really haven’t.

And this is my thank you to you guys.

Sarah, Natalie, Tracy, Emma,Siobhan and Kirsty, you have made me laugh so much that sometimes my sides have hurt so much I want to puke, your all so different and that’s what makes you amazing. I have to say meeting some of the people we’ve met wouldn’t have been as fun without you lot by my side. ( some of the conversations wouldn’t have been so filthy without Kirsty and Siobhan there but that’s a whole different blog post!)

Kenny, David and Jamie, what’s to say other than one day when you three rule the world and sarcasm, alcohol and a shoulder to cry on is needed you better all be there or your going to get your arses kicked. Its not a get together without you guys there and I’ve never seen three people who get on so well, its like watching the marc’s brothers sometimes.

And last but not least Amy, now you lot haven’t met her yet Emma and David will at twilight and I again owe her a lot. Especially in the last year, she’s been a friend for a very long time and sometimes that means you take that friendship for granted, not anymore, and anyway I’ve got her hooked on supernatural and heroes now so she’s sold her sole to me she’s screwed lol.

But what I’m trying to say and I mean this and I’m not the sort to say it in public is a honestly think that you guys have done me the world of good and I cant think of a nicer more honest and loyal bunch of friends.

So this brings me back to the first part of this post.

So it was my birthday yesterday and not only did I get cards ( you all know me far to well by the way lots of the Tennant and the kitty were to be seen ) I got amazing well thought out gifts which means the world to me. Natalie the Pez socks were amazing and rock kitty angel is now hanging o my phone alongside the Zach/kitty combo I got of Emma. And Tracy your badges made me happy as did the chocolate…nomno nom if I get fat I blame you.

The difference in yesterday from two years ago was amazing I actually enjoyed my birthday for once, and not because I got gifts but because it showed that someone actually gives a damn about me and that’s worth more than anything.

So again back to the beginning of the post lol,

So why im getting a helix tattoo is cause of you guys, cause heaven forbid I go off heroes I’ll still have something that reminds me every day of you miserable lot, and every day I know I’ll smile at least once when I see it.
