Homemade necklaces!
This is my mother's version:
And this is the original version from the site:
I'll leave it up to you to determine how mine compares.
On a different note, I went to a party last night, hosted by Ryan, with the theme "Take Back the Lion". Tonight was the grand opening of BU's student bar, called the Gait (of all things), and so we figured that all of the hip-hop crowd (that is, froshies, Champlain kids and other such people who go dancing to bad music) would be there and we could have the Golden Lion, the main pub in town, all to ourselves. The party at the Gait was supposed to be a formal event, so Ryan had his party be a formal event as well. He has his own little bar, The Speak-Easy, and there was much fun to be had there. I should have pictures of that fairly soon.
Around midnight, we finally decided that it was time to go and reclaim our bar. We got there, and guess what. It was completely packed with kids in formal wear, dancing to the bad music blasting from the sound system... Exactly what we were trying to avoid. So we left, waited in the cold of a snowstorm outside the doors for the rest of our crowd to assemble and went to the upstairs, which wasn't nearly as full or scary. We had a couple of rounds there and finished the night at the Grec. We didn't get to take back our pub, but I still have fun and that's all that counts.
