Thanks, dirtylibrarian! I’m wearing the blue pair right now!
Y’all: what’s the best surprise you’ve gotten in the mail?

A stuffed raven toy, completely unexpected. Still sleep with it every night, even though I’m 18 and counting. =)

Last summer my boyfriend sent me two dozen roses, completely out of the blue. It was just what I needed after not seeing him for weeks (he lives six hours away when we’re not in school :-( )

A little painting from this guy, which was completely random and unexpected.
But gorgeous!
That actually just happened yesterday, I haven’t posted about it yet.

My best surprise gift was from livygrrrl, who sent me an Anakin Skywalker t-shirt from Hot Topic out of the blue. Even better, I had been wanting the shirt for months, but never bought it, then she bought it for me and didn’t even know I had been coveting it!
That made my day

Someone bought me a Ray Charles CD of my wishlist and I still don’t know who it was! I loved getting that in the mail!

Oh, I’m glad they arrived. I know the grey ones are a bit worn, but they are the same as the blue, and I really loved them for a while, but they just don’t fit as nice on me as they do on you.
