Thanks, tommyrot! Guess I should listen to more TMBG. (I had to google that, of course.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, if you ever wonder "what is the sun?"....

We've just spent two hours, and completed 2 pages of math homework. There are 4 more pages left. Plus a week's worth of spelling, which is harder. FML.

I just finished typing up my bibliography for the lab that's due in 35 minutes. I had the lab done on Monday night, but was too burned out at the time to do the bibliography. It only took 20 minutes, so no biggie.
I'm coming down to campus on Saturday to do two more labs and a museum visit write-up, and I'll have to do the bibliography for everything while I'm working on them that day.

I had to think about it for a minute, but I'm pretty sure I know my birthstone. I don't make any particular point of wearing it, though.
And thanks for the commiseration re: naming, everyone. It always helps to talk things out with my people.
Also, thanks to whoever posted the photo of NPH and his family in their Halloween costumes! Totally my happy place today.

I know my birthstone because I found an ad for birthstone gems when I was about 8 and I really wanted one for some reason.

Because books.
I've always known my birthstone. It's diamond, which is nice but inconvenient. Also, really too dressy for me to wear much anyway.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I don't really think about my birthstone at all, but I for some reason have known it's a sapphire since I was a kid.
Holy shit, whales listen THROUGH THEIR THROAT.

I know mine, but I don't especially like it, and I don't own any. My sister, same month, loves it, so there you go. Opal.
Although, if the Gemstone Meanings Blog is to be believed, perhaps I should reconsider:
Its psychological benefits also include increased confidence on a deep level, confidence that is independent of external factors and completely based on understanding your core being. It helps you to realize all the externally anchored beliefs and behaviours you have adopted, and to cast them off in favor of your core self.
ETA: I didn't cheat. I just wanted to see pictures. And, actually, the deeper blue opal is very pretty.
