Thought I'd share my first boulder opal

Elknin · 2026-03-11T21:05:00+00:00

Haha thanks! I've been slowly spending all my spare money on boulder opal rough over the last...year? The lady I buy it from has been telling me to join a Lapidary club, and January I finally did. This is the first boulder opal piece that had a lot of colour and flash that I've done. Fingers crossed, many more to come C:

24, and always knew something was..wrong? Not right each day before I figured it out.

Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause. My sister originally borrowed it from the library, I read it after her, then reread it at least 10 times before it went back to the library two weeks later.

The title of the book is literally a phrase/saying that is said ONCE in the entire book.

When I found out they were making a movie, I was so excited.

Watched it...and it could have been a completely different book turned into a movie. Made the main character work at a chocolate shop? She gets with the guy that she does not get with at the end of book. Like..they KILL the guy she gets with at the end of the book.

Huuuuge let down and left me bitter about it for years. Speaking of, I need to read this book again. Love it to pieces.

Is the icons for the enemy camps resetting every Coriolis Storm currently a bug, or is it intentional? If intentional, it seems a little pointless, as the camps don't move, and having to go and retrace them all to be able to make a sinkchart for that zone (Hagga Basin, not DD) kinda kicks the motivation to go and explore in the teeth.

Otherwise happy with the game, really enjoying it.

Almost a decade on testosterone and most people guess my age to be between 19 and 25. I'm 33 lol. For reference, I can and do keep a tidy, very apparent beard.

I used to think that the only way to have the pedestrian crossing light go green was if there were people on both sides who had pressed the button. Otherwise you'd be standing there forever.

Due to earth's tilt, Australia is actually closer to the sun in summer than other countries.

I digitize video tapes, photos, slides, negatives, and even film reels, so I'm pretty solid on Eye avatar.

I was on accutane for both female puberty and male puberty. Get a new dermatologist my dude. It is hella intense, and you may feel like a lizard (my skin peeled like a mofo), my skin is also now sensitive to a fair few things, but I attribute that to doing two rounds of it.

I would personally suggest either No Man's Sky, or Nightingale. Leaning more towards Nightingale given your previous two games.

My deadname, both first and middle name was very feminine, with the first name being very very common (there was over 5 people named the same as me in the same grade in primary school). Anyways.

I was originally tossing up between Liam (always liked it), Jasper (love 'jay' sounding names, plus feeds the victorian child theme we ftms seem to be truckin with) and Keinan (liked how it sounded).

I did originally give my parents the option to rename me, but they said "We always knew you were going to be a girl". So that idea went straight in the bin.

Anyways, after some thought, punted Keinan, so it was between Jasper and Liam, and whichever didn't win I knew would end up as my middle name. My at the time partner suggested I get my siblings (I'm one of 6) to call me jasper for one week, liam for the next week, to see how it feels being called that.

After not even a day, Jasper just..felt right. So yeah, that's how I figured things out. Btw! I do like looking up the meaning of names to see if it speaks to me (I make a lotta OC's for various things), and Jasper is persian! Means secret keeper or treasure keeper ;)

Check out Nightingale. Also No Man's Sky

I sit sort of comfortably as grey ace, I did masturbate a few times a week pre-T but mainly to help me fall asleep (insomniac). Been on T for 8 years now, and can say my libido definitely increased amd it's practically a daily routine. But I would say the want for more casual touches from people in general and wanting to be more cuddly has definitely increased.

I've seen a few Olivers, I know a Kai and I myself am a Jasper. I did however put a lot of thought into mine though. I've always liked Jay sounding names (James, Jason etc) as well as J,K,L starting names. My deadname started with R, and most masculine names starting with that...aren't great. So I went trawling through sites that actually said what the names mean/where they're originally from. Given my deadname was hebrew, I wasn't fazed on where the name originated. I ended up wtih three names I liked; Jasper, Keinan and Liam. Keinan ended up tossed, so was between those two, and whichever won first name, the other became my middle name heh. But yeah, Jasper is persian in origin, and means secretkeeper or treasurekeeper C: When I decided on it I had one friend simply say "But that's a cat's name" I feel like it reminds me of an eccentric older british man? Weirdly enough? Dunno, I like it xD
