I'm with y'all on this one. ironmaiden - do you get any of your earrings from the amazing street vendors we have here in the city? They are cheap, abundant and beautiful. My mom pierced my ears when I was a baby and I hated it until I got to college because I didn't like having stuff on my ears. Since then, my annoyance with jewelry has shifted to rings (I need to be able to use my hands very freely or I go nuts) and I have become the big, dangly earring queen. I only have 23 pairs right now (probably another 10 or so at my mother's house waiting for me), but that's on my college student budget and after having lost a handful in the last year or so. On a side note, don't you hate one only *one* of them breaks or gets lost? I end up staring at the good one on my dresser and hanging on to my sad little hope that I can fix/find the other for days before I have to give up. It makes me craaaaazy.
