Give me my dignity! I just came here to see "Honk If You're Horny" in peace.

I got a plethora of beads in last night. The amber and one type of wooden beads are backordered, but everything else came in. I spent the night putting them all in containers. This time though, the chain I got is too big *sigh*. I'll figure out millimeters one day. It always seems like it would be one size when I look at it on a ruler, but it's usually something very different than expected. I think I'll make my own chains from beaded links instead of ordering more of a smaller size. At least this time I got cheap silver plated chain instead of solid sterling (would have cost me over $30 for that 5 feet if I had).

So yeah, it was like my Christmas last night. Amethyst, citrine, carnelian, onyx, snowflake obsidian, labradorite, emerald (genuine emeralds, chip beads are all I could afford of them, but they're beautiful), burma jade, lapis lazuli, rainbow flourite, sunstone, sodalite, the list goes on (something like 25 different kinds of gems). Fun fun! Can't wait to get started making jewelry. But our house is a total mess and we're still in the middle of Christmas decorating. Should be able to get my jewelry making in this weekend.

If I had thought ahead, I would have made up a bunch of stock and done a Christmas trunk show in Five Points or something. I'm reading on the jewelry making groups about all these people making thousands at home shows for Christmas (like they do an open house and have drinks and hors d'oeuvres and people come in and spend a bunch of money on their jewelry).

Imagine.

Crossroads tomorrow night.

String Cheese Incident drummer, Michael Travis' side project, Zilla. Should be a fine, fine show. 100% improvisation. $10 at the door from what I understand. Show will probably start around 10pm or so.

Hope to see some familiar faces! I'm ready for a good time out of the house.
