#i'll be doing individual fact sheets for all of them so it doesn't really matter anyway

[literally-just-rocks]

Parents just got me top organizer so I figured it would be a great time to show off my entire collection as of September 4, 2017! Additional information under the ‘read more,’ as there is a lot of information:

1. Fusions: (Lapis Lazuli, Sardonyx, Pietersite) These rocks include rocks made of two or more types of rocks.

2. Green rocks: (Malachite, Chysocolla, Unakite) Just a place for green rocks.

3. Pink rocks: (Morganite, Sunstone) Just a place for pink rocks.

4. Labradorite: My favorite type of rock!

5. Agate: (Botswana, Unknown) My unknown one came from a healing kit which included some pretty poor samples. All I can say of it is that it’s blue/green with white and black crystals. If anyone has an idea of what it is let me know!

5. Calcite: (Orange, Green) The small green calcite was the first calcite I got, followed by the tiny sample (again from the healing kit), the large green, and the large orange.

6. Moonstone: (Rainbow, Black) As a Warrior Cats fan I absolutely needed at least one moonstone in my collection. The rainbow moonstone was my first, followed by my most recent addition of the black moonstone.

7. Jasper: (African Turguoise, Brecciated, Dalmatian, Dragon Blood, Leopard, Mookaite, Pinolith) Mookaite was part of the first four rocks I bought that restarted my collection (this is the second time collecting rocks in my life, and far more successful than the first). The dalmatian jasper also came from the healing kit and is my Rock Pupper.

8. Aragonite: I still refuse to believe that these two are the same rock, but I can’t find any information disagreeing with that.

9. Clear/Crystal Quartz: (Crystal, Window) Most are from my first collection, from when I collected rocks as a kid.

10. Lepidolite: (in Mica) I didn’t even know this stone existed until recently, and I am in love.

11. Howlite: (White, Blue, Green, Yellow) Most of these come from an acquaintance of mine.

12. Misc. Quartz: (Smokey, Rose, Angel Aura Rose, Lemon, Carnelian) I thought the lemon quartz was a citrine for so long...

13. Amethyst: They’re very pretty.

14. Aventurine: I had so many of these from my childhood.

15. Hematite: (Specular, Rainbow, tumbled) They’re quite heavy.

16. Tiger’s Eye: Tigers are my favorite animal, and these stone have been my favorites for so long. I still love them, but labradorite kind of replaced them.

17. Obsidian: (rough, polished, Snowflake) I had no idea I had rough obsidian until I looked through my old collection. Where did these come from???

18. Not-So-Quite-Rocks: (Goldstone, Blue Goldstone, Amber, Opalite) Other than amber, these are all man-made. And I’m not sure if amber should be counted as a rock since it’s fossilized tree sap.

19. Pyrite: Handling these all at once turns my hands black.

20. Sodalite: They’re blue.

21. Fuchsite (Green Muscovite): (tumbled, rough) I like to call it green mica.

22. Gypsum: (Desert Rose, Selenite) They’re pretty unique rocks that I see everywhere in gift shops!

23. Misc. 1: These include a dyed geode, some sort of jasper (?), and what I believe is petrified wood from the old collection. Also where I put the plastic separators from the organizer.

24. Misc. 2: (Pumice, Apophyllite, Chinese Writing Stone, Mugglestone) They didn’t fit with the others.

25. Bismuth: My beautiful, oxidized bismuth. First stone I paid more than $2.50 for.

26. Misc. 3: (Peacock Ore, Citrine, Andalusite) Andalusite is another one of my most recent additions, and I’m still learning more about it. I was tempted to put it with the fusions but it isn’t quite a fusion.

27. Black Mica: My first mica addition from my old collection

28. White Mica: All the mica. Found this at work on my university campus.

29. Picture Jasper: I think it’s a picture jasper. It really wasn’t labelled so I had to make a guess.

Wow that’s a lot of rocks! If I labelled a rock wrong or if you know what some of my unknowns are, please tell me! Thanks for reading!

When You're Twitter Famous

Famous Gal: *phone constantly getting notifications*

Friend: Whoa, who's firing up your inbox?

Famous Gal: Hmm?

Friend: Your phone is going off like crazy.

Famous Gal: Oh, those are just my twitter notifications. I don't even notice them anymore.

Friend: I didn't know you were on twitter.

Famous Gal: Yeah, I know. I have a bit of a presence there, but nothing big.

Friend: How many followers do you have?

Famous Gal: Uhm I think it was something like 45,839.

Friend: Wow, holy shit. I only have like 40. You're famous.

Famous Gal: Eh, I'm not really famous. *checks phone* Oh, that's actually 47,328 now. I guess that post I made is making some minor rounds. *sparkle eyes*

Friend: ...So how do you even get that many followers?

Famous Gal: You just have to post the right things. Like, look at this.

Friend: Whoa, that post has so many notes!

Famous Gal: Yeah because it's so weird. You have to find weird things and screenshot them, like one time I found this dude who had a fetish for women sharpening butcher knives but he was also an open fascist so I screenshotted the shit out of him. People tore him to shreds and I got so many followers! Oh, and then once I found this Britney Spears twitter bot that only tweets "help me", but it got deactivated. Oh, then someone tried to roleplay with me as Twilight Sparkle in my DMs.

Friend: You're verified too! You're totally famous! Stop bullshitting!

Famous Gal: Of course I'm verified. I work in broadcasting, you doof.

Friend: Don't you just switch out advertisement tapes at the cable company?

Famous Gal: Listen, the fine details really don't matter. All I'm saying is it's not that big of a deal. Yes, I'm twitter verified and have tons of followers and fans and am also in a group chat with Eric Andre, Rebecca Sugar, Anthony Fantano, the guy who wrote Homestuck, everyone from Chapo Trap House, some irritating Vice journalist that people just sort of tolerate, and that Omocat chick, but that's all incredibly normal.

Friend: Well, is this normal too? *snatches famous gal's phone and tosses it somewhere far*

Famous Gal: What the fuck! Why did you do it.

Friend: I'm sorry, it's normal. Reflexes, y'know.

Famous Gal: You're acting like a bitch.

Friend: God, it's no big deal. It's just a phone, why don't you ask the commies on Chapo Trap House to redistribute a new one for you?

Famous Gal: That doesn't even make sense.

Friend: Neither does 47k followers for a nerd who works at a cable company. *storms off*

Famous Gal: I can't believe her! She threw my phone somewhere into that cavernous looking system of shady alleyways. I can't picture myself actually exploring such a place just for a phone.

Scarfed Individual: *abruptly steps into view* No need to do so.

Famous Gal: Eep!

Scarfed Individual: Sorry for startling you. I've procured your phone. *presents phone*

Famous Gal: *takes phone back* Thank you.

Scarfed Individual: No need to thank me, I'm a fan.

Famous Gal: What? Really?

Scarfed Individual: Yes, I've been a fan of your tweets for quite a while and was pleasantly surprised when I noticed the phone that had hit my head belonged to you. I knew you were in the area. I never thought I'd get to meet you face to face, however.

Famous Gal: Hahaha... I don't remember ever posting anything about the area where I live.

Scarfed Individual: I know, that made it more difficult for me to relocate my town of residence to your own. It was even more difficult finding EXACTLY WHERE YOU LIVED. Good thing I found your phone, right. *wink* I guess all is in order now. I'll see you tonight. *abruptly walks out of view*

*that night*

Friend: *sleeping soundly*

*loud banging at front door*

Friend: Ah fuck. *grouchily gets up and answers the front door* I don't deal anymore, ask Mark. He lives across the street.

Famous Gal: *rushes into apartment* Help me!

Friend: Don't just run into my fucking house!

Famous Gal: I'm being stalked!

Friend: Unsurprising.

Famous Gal: This is your fault!

Friend: I think it's your fault for having thousands of followers on a public website.

Famous Gal: When you tossed my phone, some nutso fan of mine found it and now he knows where I lives.

Friend: Ah, sounds bad, sorry.

Famous Gal: That's all you have to say!?

Friend: I can't help the fact that you're being stalked, but alright. I was a bit of a grouch today, so I'll let you spend the night.

Famous Gal: *hugs friend* Thank you. You're a terrible friend, but in this moment I'd consider you barely tolerable.

Friend: Thanks, even though every single world you say to me further stretches the already strung out patience I have for you.

Famous Gal: Whatever, I'm just going to take these sheets and assume I'm allowed to sleep on your couch without actually asking permission because I honestly don't want to speak with you any longer and am slowly regretting my decision to spend the night here with you.

Friend: I feel the same. I'm too tired so I'll go over how much I've come to dislike you throughout the course of this single afternoon and nighttime conversation.

Famous Gal: Uh, yeah. Goodnight, I guess.

Friend: Whatever...

Famous Gal: *lies on the couch and wraps self in sheets* God, I'm even more tired than I thought but these sheets are so cold. *dozes off*

Scarfed Individual: *abruptly appears from behind couch* You can borrow my scarf, here you go. *wraps around sleeping famous gal like a bow*

Famous Gal: *in her sleep* Mmm your arms are so warm.

Individual: Indeed they are, my dear. I wish I could smooch you, my dear. Goodnight, my dear.

Famous Gal: *yawns* Night.

Individual: *his glowing eyes illuminate sleeping famous gal*

Famous Gal: Please turn off the lights.

Individual: Oh, sorry about that. *click*
