well, my 'friend' gave me a ring about a week ago. it's marquis cut diamonds with my birthstone as the centerpiece. this is kind of how i want my engagement ring to look only with emerald cut diamonds. however, this ring is big and it looks great on my finger. his parents gave him the money for it. and it's so shiny. . .it's the first thing that people notice.
i was kind of weary and asked him how many carats the diamonds were. he joked and said 'they're czs. . .you aren't worth THAT much to me.' however, my close guy friend looked at it and said, 'that ain't cubics, baby. it's sparkling.' so, i took it to a jeweler and he estimated it at a little less than 2 carats. i almost fell off my chair. of course, he told me that the ring(if pawned) would get me a nice stack of cash.

hmmmm. . .i DO need a down payment for a car. . .
