sometimes you get absolutely pissed by someone.
 
then one sweet gesture by the person would erase all the horrible shit he puts you through.
 
in my case, it's a group of people who did something really sweet for me today.  it may have been a really small gesture on their part, but hey...it made my day.  and it got plenty of people thoroughly jealous.
 
earrings are such small details.  people used to assume i had ear holes until i pointed out that i didn't.  and when i did get my ears pierced (last october), everyone thought that they were there all along.
 
so where the hell am i going with this?
 
well, my boys gave me a pair of "flourescent light stick" earrings at the zhonghua campfire today.  while i may not have exhibited it, i was truly surprised...and in shock...and touched.  especially when everyone stared, then asked where i got those light earrings from.
 
so for the rest of the evening, i was slip-sliding away...floating...on cloud nine...whatever.
 
the day ended perfect.
