::Cheesy grin::
I was complimented tonight. I know it's shallow and vain to be so happy about a random compliment from a practical stranger (I mean, we know each other in passing because we used to work for the same department and now he works for a neighboring one), but I am happy. And I'm posting it here to remind myself of that when I'm having a down moment.
So, anyway, we were all sitting at work just talking about whatever and literally, out of nowhere, Geoff looks over at me and kind of stares and then says "Your eyes are really pretty! Like, really. Do you wear contacts or are they real?"
I simultaneously blinked and blushed and then squeed internally because I was just thinking about how boring my eyes were and how I wished they were a darker, more dramatic blue than the pale blue/touch of gray they are. I mean, I've been complimented on them before (again, not to sound vain, but to perk myself up when I'm having a crappy moment), but it was nice to hear it from a guy that I didn't think particularly liked me one way or the other. And it came at just the right time, since I was feeling really blah.
So, yay for me!
