A kiss on the hand may be quite continental....
I don't mean rhinestones...

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

But bent back or stiff knees
You stand straight at Tiffanys

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Plei! I had a dream last night that you and I were all dressed up in fancy clothes and dancing to entertain Wesley. Just regular, you know, out-at-a-party type dancing. And then, because apparently we were drunk in the dream, we both puked in front of a big group of people, who yelled at us to find a bucket.
WTF?

Was it YOUR fault that Wesley had taken it away?
Meanies.

Did they threaten to then take it away? (HEE! Bucket X-Post!)
This cracks me up, in a very flashback to the Chicago F2F kind of way.
PS, sending my love down the well via SA.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Oh, I adore the diamond earrings that used to be Mom's. And I'm still kinda miffed that she lost Grandma's diamond ring. But that's mostly because they were Mom's and Grandma's. Somewhat due to teh pretty—cause they are—but it's mostly associative.

As I was typing my post, I thought about the Chicago F2F!

What is even happening?
I was ignorant of the slave labor issue when Scott gave me a diamond, and I'm fairly glad of that, because I love it, but had I known, I couldn't have loved it. A ring of any sort wasn't a requirement, though.
I also have my grandmother's diamond. I've kept it in the original setting (although my grandfather gave it to her years after they married).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am spared any sort of ethical dilemma by failing entirely to see the appeal of diamonds.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I mean, there must be a line for you somewhere that makes it not boxing
When you're on the ground wrestling? Or when you start to use your feet as offense. Really, I've always used boxing as a vague synonym for street-fighting. (And what little I do know about boxing indicates that rule-breaking -- like head-butts and biting -- occur all the time. So "boxing where the rules are being broken" comes into my head before "not boxing" does.)
I find that any of the Really Precious stones are so fraught with "I might lose it!!" that I almost never wear the ones I have. So I'm just as happy to have semi-precious, like garnet, or not-particularly-precious, like cubic zirconia. I can't tell the difference by looking, and the sense of danger doesn't happen.
