  6. the quote is also in reference to the tattoo she had on her lower back. I changed the words to fit to her instead. On her lower back she had "he asked her what her favorite work of art was, but never could i tell it was him" so i changed it around to fit about her instead. This quote is from a Rufus Wainright song called "The Art Teacher" I believe she got this tattoo with Sarah? So Sarah has this same tattoo.

    Kacie really loved Rufus Wainright. She introduced me to him. He signs really long ballad songs but he has a beautiful voice.
    The full lyrics for the Rufus Wainright Art Teacher song are:

    There I was in uniform
    Looking at the art teacher
    I was just a girl then;
    Never have I loved since then

    He was not that much older than I was
    He had taken our class to the Metropolitan Museum
    He asked us what our favorite work of art was,
    But never could I tell it was him
    Oh, I wish I could tell him --
    Oh, I wish I could have told him

    I looked at the Rubens and Rembrandts
    I liked the John Singer Sargents
    He told me he liked Turner
    Never have I turned since then
    No, never have I turned to any other man

    All this having been said,
    I married an executive company head
    All this having been done, a Turner - I own one
    Here I am in this uniformish, pant-suit sort of thing,
    Thinking of the art teacher
    I was just a girl then;
    Never have I loved since then
    No, never have I loved any other man
