03/30/2002 Entry: "WIN IT!"

I want to rant today, but it seems my ISP is acting up on me. Probably due to the rainy weather. It always acts up when it rains. Let's just hope it'll let me post? I've disconnected and reconnected about 6 times now. It won't even let me check my mail. I'm typing this offline.

The most amazing thing about today is probably the crystals. You know those lovely Swarovski crystal beads I love so much? I bought a whole lot today. About 200 crystals worth. Of course I'm broke again, but that's besides the point. I made a whole bunch of jewelry today out of them beads. I discovered something useful, which might or might not be of interest to you, that Bron's fishing line (a braided ultra-thin spiderline) works way better for making jewelry than any other type of line I've ever used. It's ultra strong, and fine, and the knots I make come out really small, too. The downside is one reel of this line costs about RM 50, the upside.. I take mine directly out of Bron's reel. Heh. He doesn't even mind.

I've also discovered how to make small round 'balls' out of the beads, that you can thread a necklace through, and it looks amazing. I've been making a few because I had so many different color beads, and my favorite one is the pink one of course!

And, as cliche as it may sound, I like it so much that I want to give one away. Just send me any sort of fansign, and on April 13th, I'll have a voting for the quirkiest/cutest one and I'll send it over to you (even if you live in Afghanistan.)

You'll even get to decide what color you want it in, but the one shown is in pink/magenta, and if you want it with a solid wire choker type thing or a silver chain. And I do have a backup plan (in case you guys aren't as enthusiastic as I am and no one sends me anything!) - the first one wins. See? I really do want to give it away.

I'm finally buying myself a CD burner, which is probably something I should've done a long time ago. It's not a high-end one which I would've liked and cannot afford, but a mid-range one, which previously I'd have labelled as 'unreliable' but with Burn-Proof, I don't think that'll be a problem for me.

I'm gonna catch some zzz's. :)
