Tourmaline
Sooooo... I love rocks. A while back my fella gave me a tourmaline, a marquis-cut green one, and I just had it set in a ring.

I went down to the jewelers' place (awesome ( Read more... ) -
Not AS sick.
SWEET. Not so sick anymore, and really glad about that. I did many heroic things, including take a bath, read for longer than five minutes, and put actual pants (not weird sick-ville sweatpants) on!

Why write?
SO, finally I feel like I should write - a friend and I were talking earlier about the numerous abandoned journals/blogs/diaries with which we've littered the landscape over the course of our lives. I hate thinking about the number, since each one means I tried something and failed. But, as she said, after many comments about perfectionism and self ( Read more... )
