Hi! I just saw that post and wondered what the difference between soda and sparkling water?

okay friend soda is this delicious liquid diabetes that’s carbonated and has this nice sweet flavoring. (Like Coke or Sprite)

Sparking water is just carbonated water and it doesn’t seem like it would be bad but it doesn’t taste like water should and the bubbles are :-( so its all around a Not Fun Time.

Watching Joe and Anthony Russo’s cinematic masterpiece Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

There’s only little part of her visible, but I already can see that she’s very cute!

What kind of item would you most likely buy from an antique store?

Oh, that’s a good question. I love antique stores; probably because my mother dragged me into every one she could find during my formative years. The very smell of old wood and dusty books and musty linens makes me nostalgic for my childhood. I’ve bought many things from antique stores–old records that you can’t find any more, books where the corners are starting to crumble, hats from the 1940s that look smashing on me.

But my favourite things to find in antique stores are bits of jewelry. I once found a sliver bangle that was part of an estate collection. I bought a gorgeous old cameo from an old man in a shop on a side street in Rome who could tell me who he bought it from. I have a vintage marcasite ring that I found in a dusty velvet box in the back corner of an overcrowded shop. None of my stuff is expensive–I don’t have the dosh for the good stuff, dammit. Not until I write that best-selling novel, lol! But it’s all greatly loved.

I love old jewelry. Partially because it suits my aesthetic, both in vintage form and reproduction (my favourite piece I keep going back to right now is a garnet-and-gold reproduction of Josephine Bonaparte’s coronation ring), and partially because there’s something about wearing a piece of jewelry that someone else treasured, that they cared for, that someone gave them perhaps to celebrate a special moment, or to tell them they were loved, or to comfort them when they were grieving. Jewelry is beautiful, it’s art, it’s decoration, and it’s oh-so-human. When I go to museums, it’s the jewelry collections that often speak to me most, more so than the art. A ring on display makes me wonder who wore it, how many generations it was passed down, what stories it might be able to tell. I see a necklace and I wonder who clasped it around their neck, what occasion they wore it for, what happened to them. Jewelry holds our stories, secrets, hopes, dreams, tragedies, and I think that’s just amazing.

What do you find most charming in others?

Put a word - fish tank

oh my thank you! 

Fish tank:  When my sister and I were very young, we wanted to have our own pets. And we promised to take good care of them, because we were definitely old enough. Our parents resisted to give us any sort of rodent or dog or cat, but we did get a fish tank full of tiny fish. We picked the fish carefully! We picked their food carefully. And that’s when we stopped being careful. 

They died after a week or so. We were, in fact, not old enough to keep pets.

Put a word - teeth

fact: I had to do a surgery because one of my fangs was growing sideways overtop my other teeth, and they put a wire on it to guide it down. The gum never grew over it, so the fang looks bigger and it also wouldn’t sit in the right place (it still kinda juts out) and you can see the wire from a specific angle.
