I got my fiber optic Christmas tree last night on sale at 60% off!!!!! Happy, happy, joy, joy! I’ve wanted one of those for years, but didn’t want to shell out that much money. There was a really nice one on sale for around $26 bucks though, and I’m far more pleased than I ought…
Our best friends are innocents. Instead of opinion, they offer acceptance. Instead of judgement, they comfort. They do not hold back, but love without reserve. We whose pets entrust their love to us Know that the price is paid in their leaving. Their flame is too bright, their love too pure Their trust too complete…
The Prof invited me to accompany him downtown when he went to class. It wasn’t as if I had anything else to do, so I grabbed my trusty Acer and set up shop in the campus Starbucks. I should say “one of the campus Starbucks”; apparently center city students live on coffee and overpriced pastries…
For those of you not on the metric wavelength, that’s about one and a half gallons. Eight pints in a gallon, a pint’s a pound the world around. That’s how much they pulled out of my abdomen today. Instant weight loss of about twelve pounds. I don’t recommend the diet, but damn it feels good…
Over the weekend, I had at least a dozen visitors to my diary who arrived through my Salamander entry of 6 May 2002 entitled “New apartments, turtle tanks and work” because they were using a search engine looking for key words “turtle tanks”. I have no idea what gives here, but I strongly suspect that…
Or is it just me locked out? NooNoo – great entry! You might have had to look up some words, but you got them just right when you wrote the essay!
Perhaps you’ve shared some of the magic by showing the unicorn to us? Lovely piece.
Hugs,

PS I liked the font you were experimenting with. I find microscopic punctuation a bit frustrating, too.
How nice that the shop keeper had a horn added for you! Either he really wanted to make a sale or he was a really nice guy.
Maybe you could wear it for a holiday picture and then have the picture around to remind you of the unicorn on a daily basis without having to wear it everyday.
that was a really nice thing for the shop owner to do. it’s a really pretty piece. thanks for the Gumby & Pali take a test visual. i’m sure the other students got a kick out that too.
Very cool story, lovely pin.
i know what you mean though about "collecting"…. i once had a few Opus penguin things because i loved Bloom County. Suddenly everyone assumed i was into penguins in general and you would not believe some of the things i ended up with, lol!
The peek into your heart overwhelms =*)
Your cherished unicorn has beautiful detail and the goodwill of the jeweler.
btw, where you ever 15?
;p
The thoughtfulness of the shopkeeper must have been captured in the piece.

I agree with Lilith. Great entry. I can barely remember being 15.
I laughed so hard when I read that people thought you collected unicorns!
I once had an aunt tell people that I collected music boxes simply because she thought that I needed to start collecting something. I think I got 6 or 7 music boxes that year and was completly confused as to why. Then its impossible not not get trapped because you don’t want to tell people that you don’t like thier gift, but you also don’t want them to keep buying you useless clutter.
Were not where!
Though where you were would have done too.
It’s wonderful that you’ve kept and treasured it for so long. I have little to remind me of good times from those years, and I would like once in a while something tangible to remind me of the girl that I was then.
If you ever do pass it on, be sure you find somebody worthy. 🙂
I wish I remembered being 15.
Your unicorn is beautiful and I can see he is very special, as he just exudes character 🙂
Treasures are special, so take care of him.
I am glad you survived 15!! I remember 15 very well, and it is a hard period in many peoples life.
Hugs
