Very amusing.
Jesus fucking Christ. Are you reading Atlas Shrugged? Don't you know it'll turn you into an asshole for at least two years? When you're college-age and your parents are paying for everything, you're likely to be a big believer in people pulling themselves up by their bootstraps. Ayn Rand appeals to your age group for that reason, but the problem is, once you actually have to pay your own way, bootstrap-pulling gets a whole fuck of a lot harder, and Rand sounds more and more like a creepy Republican. If you're over 25 and you still think her books are great, you're (a) white and (b) an asshole.
So I was worried our friends wouldn't like the wedding gifts I made them. I was trying for something usable, unique, pretty and permanent.




Not too bad, I hope. Hopefully something they will treasure. Just one problem. They got married on September 16th. How hard do you think they laughed after they opened the package?
ps - thank you for all the nice thoughts and good advice. Although I didn't say it up here, things are much better.
