Do you think I'm special, do you think I'm nice, am I bright enough to shine in your spaces?

As I'm sure most of you are aware, EXCITING NEWS TODAY THAT GIVES ME HOPE FOR HUMANITY

I'm happy to live in a state that allows my friends to get married regardless of their sexual orientation, but it hasn't yet spread to other states as I always hoped it would. I hope this is a sign that might be changing and that this sets the bar for <i>every</i> other state to follow suit.

Went to 2 staffing agencies today, and now have 2 interviews set up for tomorrow. This makes me happy too. I'm excited about tomorrow!

Aaaand I know I just gave away one pair, and I don't want to seem like I'm looking to pawn stuff off to other people, but DAMNIT I AM CELEBRATING NOW SO HAVE SOME MORE EARRINGS PEOPLE





Ok, so I put these together the other day just to see how fine a chain I could manipulate with my current equipment, so they're not store-bought perfect. There is a bit of scoring on one of the links and some small imperfections, although that right earring is twisted in the below pic you can ignore that, it's really not that kinked. They are constructed from parts of a pair of earrings I never wore and parts of a choker I deconstructed. Plus some links added to pull things together. They came out pretty well, I think.

Anyway, if you want 'em, let me know. If you want a better idea of how they hang, I can provide a pic of my strange self wearing them (of course they'll be sterilized before I send them anywhere.

In other news, I have been inhaling napthalene because my mom keeps bailing on me when I try to put the carpet she moth-ball-bombed in the basement. It's making me really nauseous...I had no idea how toxic that stuff is I mean, I knew it was bad to inhale, but I didn't think it could make one that sick so fast. Yikes.

I can't really manipulate the carpet myself or I'd have put it away already.

Ok, time to go iron my other skirt suit.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)[10] classifies naphthalene as possibly carcinogenic to humans and animals.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naphthalene Scan down to health effects.

Open your windows as much as you can. The smell will go away eventually but it's really not good for you.

I'm so not an earrings person, but I think I kind of love those if no one else loves them.

You need to get that carpet away from you, that's no good. Though it makes me think of Mythbusters when they blew up a house with bug bombs...I think they did. It could have been the replicating the myth part. But still, you could tell your mom that you could blow a house up with those.

Good luck with all the interviews/agencies! *crosses fingers* And yay California! It's honestly one of the things I don't get. It comes between equal rights for everyone and unequal rights for some people. At the base of it, if it two consenting adults, there really shouldn't be much more needed to be done about it.

OMG I'm so excited about the prop 8 news!!! Now if WI would get on board. It's so weird, the majority of WI is democratic but we had a law a few yrs ago that got passed that got rid of common law marriage (that is 7yrs together=married) AND gay marriage along with it. I'm still bitter over this loss. As I said to everyone, it doesn't matter if you agree with homosexual marriage or not, these are civil rights they're taking away. First they go after these people, then they come after you and who will be left to stand up for you?

Also, those earrings are SUPER cute!! I'll totes wear them if no one else wants to. I love blue, I canna halp it.

Beautiful earrings! I would snag them if I wore dangling earrings like that. :D They would just be hidden in my hair lol.
