your disk space monitor is messed up. I suppose you changed drive letters when you reformatted
11 July 2009 02:04I'm with you! I don't like diamonds, or gold :P
11 July 2009 04:09My engagement ring is platinum with a nice sapphire. My wedding ring is white gold (though it does have very tiny diamonds). I'm just not a 'classic' diamonds and gold girl.
I'm a fan of blacklight reactive stuff, gothic stuff, tribal stuff etc :)
those lime green lego block earrings are mighty cute!
13 July 2009 16:22The hello kitty and lego earrings are soo cute!
13 July 2009 21:39Inspired by your post, I surfed around Etsy.com for some cute earrings. I found Hello Kitty dressed up as bunches of ASPARAGUS!!! Also, avocadoes and radishes (two separate pairs, not in the same pair). I'm unreasonably excited to get them.
15 July 2009 01:21@Jaimi - Oh my god, link me, woman! I have a USB stick of Hello Kitty dressed as a bunny.
15 July 2009 02:32Asparagus Hello Kitty!
15 July 2009 02:40I just did a search for Hello Kitty earrings and found some of the best stuff!
@ Phyrra - I know, right? The worth of jewellery is whether it looks nice or not. Give me something aesthetic over 'precious' any day.
15 July 2009 02:40@Jen - They ARE cute, but... I already have 2 sets of green Lego earrings which are superior, because they're drop earrings, not studs. Drop earrings are more elegant.
15 July 2009 02:41@ Gio - They are, but anything with HK on it is cute. I want something more shaped like HK though rather than just a picture of her.
15 July 2009 02:41@ Jaimi - HOLY CRAP. That's awesome. I must possess it.
15 July 2009 02:42That same seller has a bunch of other stuff...and perhaps if you message him/her there will be more asparagus!
15 July 2009 02:43Ahhh. Crap. I just went a bit mental and bought all these:

I am always happy to enable!
15 July 2009 02:56I feel quite bad, now. I still really want these http://www.grindstore.com/products/Punky-Pins-Space-Invaders-Earrings_8610.html because they have the guns on, lower, like they're going to shoot them, and that's awesome.
15 July 2009 02:58But I'd better be good now. Gee, I don't have enough ears.
I bought a total of 5 pairs of earrings. The HK ones, the aforementioned avocadoes and radishes (those are not HK, just plain old vegetables, and I confess I bought the radish ones to wear when I go see HBP), some HK guitar pick ones similar to the ones you linked, and hearthstones.
15 July 2009 03:03I really need a better way to store my earrings than just throw them into my jewelry box....
Haha, to match Luna, wonderful. I don't even have a jewellery box, I just tend to hang my earrings on appropriately-shaped things.
