oh, I like much of this jewelry (warning, there are some Jilli font items, but all metallic): [link]

The first ring on the rings page = MUST. HAVE.
am not cool enough for this. I kinda wish I was. But what do you wear with it?
You are more than cool enough. You kind of define cool. In addition to the suggestions other made of camo and animal prints, what about leather?
We're having a lovely incidence of ice fog out there. I think this should stay off the roads and windshields--at least till nightfall--so at the moment it's putting a very pretty white fuzz on the branches of the trees.
The pretty glass-encased spiced cider candle I got as a housewarming gift years ago turns out to have been designed so that it can't be lit by a bic without drizzling boiling hot wax on your hand in the process. Luckily it got me on my drawing finger callus—anywhere else and I'd have a second degree burn instead of a minorly ouchy red spot. WTF, candlemaker?
However, by the light of the pain candle I have finished wrapping all but one of my Christmas gifts, changed my linens, reorganized a bookcase, and gotten a load of laundry started. That spiced cider scent is the smell of accomplishment.
And pain.
I'd try a candle of pain if it meant I got that much done.
Yeah, I've gotten a second degree burn on my other hand from batik wax and the scar is still faintly visible 24 years later.
If I'd had a match or punk or something I could angle downward it would have been fine, but I had to upend the candle over the lighter flame and the wicks had a thick coating of wax that splattered like hot grease. I can see where the wax fused its way into my skin, but it's thick enough in that spot that not much heat made it to the flesh underneath.
