Mmm...pretty

Today, BF and I went to the gem and mineral show on the upper west side. Lots of assholes here. I was kinda surprised. When I went to the show in Museum Village, everyone was really laid back and friendly, but the people at this show were nasty. Not the kinda birthday I was looking for.

Anyhoo, I ended up purchasing this here Adamite specimen from the Ojuela Mine in Durango, Mexico. Isn't it pretty? You can't really see it in this photo, but it's crazy sparkly. Happy birthday to me.

Best birthday ever

Amongst other things, I got flowers. I love flowers.

Ooh, a box of rocks for my birthday!

So, tomorrow's my birthday. It's not a date I typically look forward to, but this year, I have high hopes. Obama was elected, I've got a present waiting for me at home from ThinkGeek and, AND, this weekend is the New York City gem and mineral show, held by the Excalibur Mineral Corp.

Here are some specimens I'm hoping to get my hands on...

I'm so excited. I love me some rocks.
