Damn, the internet is a small world.

It's supercute; I'm totally geeking out on that site.

Rich people live in the imaginary box in my living room. I think someone who buys a $90 bottle of wine IRL is fabulously wealthy. I just can't translate wealth into actuality. It's...the stuff of fiction to me.

My bf's ex was from a comfortable family, and she ran him into the ground with Coach bags, $500 shoes, etc. on a not-comfortable salary. I didn't really get it until a months or so ago. And he keeps just being...stunned by my low-maintenence expectations. He asked me what I wanted for Xmas, and about cried when I said an iTouch case.

Granted, would I love to go crazy with money?! HELL, YEAH! But it's stupid.

I have a bright purple sweatshirt with a snowman on it that I wear as if it was holiday-themed clothing. It's garish and festive, but celebrating...the holiday of Wintertime? I don't know. I also have Christmas socks (mostly because they have penguins) and Halloween socks. Probably Christmas pins and earrings, but I would have to go look to be sure, I don't make a point of wearing them. A blue snowflake necklace that DH got me because it looked vaguely Hannukah-appropriate.

OK, I'm heading out to vote, do one last batch of phone banking, and then to the victory (?) party....

I am so cold that I could weep. My office was warm earlier today. Or warmish. Whither thou goest, heat?

Whither thou goest, heat?

a) South.
b) Away from the socks.

I like something like this for an engagement ring, though with a different color stone. [link] This is not my style, but it's lovely. [link]

Scrappy, I love channel-set rings.

Also, I love diamonds. I know it's not cool, but I do. They have such a great flash and sparkle, and I'm hooked. Although I love pretty much most gemstones, except yellow ones. Er, I guess that means I love white diamonds. Not yellow diamonds. They look like pee.

t edit As soon as I hit "Post," I realized that someone with a yellow gemstone ring is going to come along and give me hell for dissing their shiny.

I was just thinking I don't love them either, especially set in or against silver.

I don't think it's not cool. I don't think that it's cool to make men feel like they have to spend money that they don't have or want to spend to buy them, though.
