until woodbridge decides to intervene with my self-amusement...

22. Having someone tell you that you're beautiful.

so the 'high' feeling oni lasts a second or so before i'm dropped back to earth realising that they're really lying...

downside is that when you relate it to someone outside...
the person looks at you weird and asks "funnie meh?"...
