don't buy cheap threaded earrings, lesson learned... threads failed before i could get it in, but at least i didn't have to learn the lesson a hard way, like losing an earring in my sleep
what kinda potmetal ass "stainless steel" were those made of to have threads fail like that.. i know the kind of force even quite fine threads can take in stainless, it's waay more than barely finger tight...
oh, and totally worth mentioning that if you happen to be somewhere nearby me (colorado, or i'm visiting your area) and you want a sony a100, i'm happy to give it to ya :3 i don't use it so much since having gotten newer bodies and i'm happy to spread the photography bug
tonight i took pictures of all the things i capture pictures with balanced on my hand, with a plush bee in my jacket pocket ya know, just normal night time activities
