It really is the thought that counts
OK, this requires backstory.
My friend Dex woke up one morning several months back and couldn't walk because her knee is fucked up. Anyway, she then also moved in to the building down the street, and because we're neighbors it was easy for me to help her out with things. And we were joking one day that I was her valet, which turned into me being her Ianto. And this became a running joke among my friends.
So then Clio went to Dragon-Con last weekend and got me a personalized autographed picture of Gareth David-Lloyd that says "To Evelyn, from one teaboy to another".
The glee this brings me cannot properly be expressed in words. Not simply because of the picture, but because of the thought and plotting that went into it (Dex and Clio apparently had a whole plot about what it should say and how it was necessary). It is a silly little thing, but it makes me feel so special. And actually, they do that a lot, my friends, which I suppose is part of why they're my friends.
