I have an embarrassing problem that I have lived with since birth. If you’ve known me for any length of time, you may have noticed. I’m not particularly self-concious about it, because you have to look really closely to realize that I have a hideous deformity. In fact, the only time I obsess about it in public is when I’m listening to my iPod, even though the headphones cover it up. BUT! That’s just the problem. I have been foroced to wear headphones my entire life.

Unlike the rest of you, I have abnormally small ear holes. I have never been able to wear earbuds because they are all too big. Yes, I have tried the ones that come in super-small toddler sizes, but they are still too big. So. It’s been headphones–big, bulky, black, ugly–headphones. UNTIL NOW.
I have finally succeeded in finding the perfect pair of earbuds. I have been released from my prison of ugly over-the-ear headphones, and have moved into the blessedly small territory of the earbud. These suckers are comfortable, they block out noise as well as the more expensive Bose headphones, and–better still–they fit my mutant ears. This is a red-letter day for me, to be sure. And something tells me that Kevin will be pleased not to have to listen to me lament about my freakishly small and hideously deformed ear holes anymore. Hooray!
