I *totally* buy into my culture's consumer imperatives.

It's true.

In my culture, I have been informed that if my masculine unit truly holds me in high regard he will demonstrate this by generously bestowing upon me tokens of his affection as embodied by sparkly things in a box.

I GOT SPARKLY THINGS IN A BOX FOR CHRISTMAS - woo hoo!

And I do feel completely and totally validated.  I hereby reify my culture's memes.

What sort of sparkly-things-in-a-box were they? I'm guessing either earrings, or a necklace and earrings set :-)

(I *make* sparkly things, which could be put in a box...but have no masculine unit, so have to validate myself in other ways)

Aquamarines in my ears. Whee! :)

Sparkly

Those sparklies are advertised relentlessly during football games. Savant just used to pass me a shiny rock every time an ad came on -- you know, the kind you can buy by the pound, from rock tumblers?

Good enough for me. I still would not have said no to a culturally-reified rock, though.

*sigh*

Aquamarines are great. Hey, let me introduce you to my latest vice: pinterest jewelry (and if you like that, there's one for raw gems, also).
