I am defined by my color

Relaaaaaax!

It's nothing anything remotely to do with racism or all the things that we humans use to integrate and again separate from one another.

I'm just talking about my mood ring. *beams*

Yesh, you heard me. My fwaaavorite mood ring that I've held on for many, many years--which, may give you an indication of just how not so young I am getting! 

"But it's just a bloody mood ring!!", you groan.

AHA!

Yuhsee, I've had this ring ever since I was 10 where mood rings were all the rage back in the 90's. The moment I bought it, it never left my thumb for a moment. Even when I took showers. Even when I went swimming. Even when I found out I'm allergic to costume jewelry. 

Eeeeexcept.....when I could no longer shove my ring into my then ever pudgying fingers. My mood ring's lifespan was hastily shortened and I was bummed. So, I put the cherished ring into a tiny Ziplock thingamajig and forced it to sit in the darkness of my drawer for allll eternity muahahaha!!

LOL no, I'm just kidding.

I'm turning 23 in four months (you do the math, lazy people!) and in preparation to my impending US trip, I rummaged through the Drawer Of All Things Bling and came across the ring.

Eyes glistened.

Memories came flashing back.

Hmmmmm....I've lost 50 pounds. I wonder!

*Slip*

*Tilts hand*

*Whooop!!*

Not only does the mood-ring-from-long-ago fits, it's loose!! Wahahahaha!! 

*Jumps with joy but not really because don't want to get giddy*

So now, I'm back to wearing the ring! I'm really not used to wearing rings and only feel comfortable if I wear it on my right thumb and semi comfortable on my right index finger. But then again, the mood ring is kinda thick so would perhaps explain the discomfort. One problem though, my mood ring no longer works! It's a permanent greenish-blue color....err, does anyone know what that means? :P

And yes, that is a giraffe.
