"I may have to think of a new nickname." Do so if you think it's important, although personally I think people worry too much about their LJ nicknames. Several of my LJ pals have changed nicknames more than once ... and yet it hasn't affected the quality of their posts one bit. It's what you write that I pay attention to. But then again, some people will spend the better part of a week searching for just the right ring tones for their cell phones, since they are under the impression that the right ring tone better expresses the sort of person they are (frequently for the worse, as far as I'm concerned).
"Opal is just quartz with 3-9% water added to it." I did not KNOW that! How interesting. I love opals, especially black opals. I once saw an older gentleman who had a beautiful black opal in a heavy silver setting on his finger; I had to restrain myself from chopping off his hand to get it.
