Jun. 9th, 2005 03:07 pmWell, I got some new elastic thread and tried making necklaces with that. Was going fine, the stuff looked pretty, I made a couple of bracelets, too-- and then I picked one of the necklaces up and the previously sturdy knot snapped and there went a bunch of beads all over the floor.
Imagine my language.
And none of the other knots held for long, by the way. I might just go with using embroidery thread or something. Or just sell the beads. ;-)
In other news, here's a conversation my mom and I had the other day:
Me: "Did you see that the new Pope started complaining about homosexual marriages again, calling them 'psuedomarriages'?"
Mom: *knowing that there's probably something profoundly sacreligious coming, and listening anyway, bless her* "No, I didn't see that."
Me: "Something I'm curious about. If someone were to infiltrate the candidates for Pope next time around, acting like they thought everything not 118% heterosexual was profane, etc., and then got elected Pope and went out onto the balcony and said, "Just kidding, I think gay marriage is a great idea!" would all Catholics basically have to change their viewpoints? The Papal infallibility thing?"
Mom: "I have no idea."
Me: "That is my new goal in life. I shall disguise myself as a man-- a very conservative man-- and then become Pope. And I will skip out onto the balcony in a big, rainbow-colored pointy hat."
Mom: "This is not my influence." (okay, she didn't say it, but I'm pretty sure she was thinking it)
