It seems everyone knew I wanted those earrings and they all decided at the same time to get them for me. Go figger. So, when I tell my guy friend about the other two pairs I now have, I plan on saying something about how my parents, my brother, and a friend who is just like another brother to me (him, of course) all got me what I most wanted! In that way, I both thank him again and point out that it is not seen by me as a romantic gift AND that I don't see him in a romantic light. Yes, I will talk with him at length about his not having a chance in hell, but I think I'll use that family comment to start off that discussion.
Anyway, thought you guys might find that interesting. I personally find it hilarious and told my family that I'm just going to have to get more piercings so I can wear them all at the same time.


Marla, I think this pretty much rules out your "diamond earrings = sexual favours" rule. And if that doesn't, I'd really rather not hear about it.
