Hair -- TMI?

November 21 2006

So I have shorter hair than I used to. But I didn't just now get it cut, I got it cut about a month ago.

Anyway, so my sister thinks it is absolutely gross that I have hairy legs. However, she is repulsed by the idea of a guy shaving his legs. I pointed out that there is no way I can win, she resorted to "well, it is because you have white legs with dark hair, if you had only tanned... then it would be brown on brown.....ooooooooooooooooo."

Likewise, I have hair on my belly and chest. Some find this repulsive, others believe it is a sign of manliness. I really don't care, I know I am a guy and I will not and cannot stop it from showing up.

I don't have much facial hair. I can avoid shaving for about 4 days and BEGIN to look like a bum. I want side burns. Those would be sweet.

My sister shaved my neck when she cut my hair. I really wish she hadn't. That just blows. Who wants a sharp back-neck? That is the lamest ever! Especially when you have had a girl tell you how soft it was back there, and that she liked it. It is like burning the teddy bear that scored you some points with a lady. It is just plain foolish.

Meanwhile, my sister is haunted by her friends making jokes about her back hair (she has none). She keeps wallowing in her frustration, "BUT I DON'T HAVE BACK HAIR!!!!!!!!" Such that she even took pictures to prove it. Guys are funny, and I know where they are coming from -- it is fun to mess with girls, especially when they are cute and show some signs of naïvity (sp?).

In other news, I love Latin. I think I even want to learn it before classical Greek. I have Romans 8:1 on my wall in English (NIV ad 1965), German (Luther Bibel ad 1545) and Latin (Latin Vulgate ad 405). Superhappyfuntime. Übergemütlichespaßzeit!
