I plucked my mom's chin hairs today. Quite possibly THEE most disgusting thing ON the face of the planet. I don't get disgusted easily. In fact, it's exactly the opposite. I never get queasy, no matter what you talk about while I'm eating. Somehow, though, bending down and watching thick hairs slide out of the pores on her chin at the pressure of the tweezers in my hand was really, truly gross. She was getting ready for the company Christmas dinner. I wasn't going to do it, because I recall being excessively grossed out the one other time I did it. I was walking away when she said, "That's ok, Treavor will do it for me, he's done it before." I'm sorry, but it's just not right for a little 9-year-old boy to have to do that. That's like, 10 years of therapy right there. I could just see him, this wreck of a man, telling a shrink (gaaa I detest them) how every night he wakes up screaming from nightmares about trying to fight off giant man-eating chin hairs with tweezers that just aren't big enough to do the job. So that's my trauma of the day. I have a mountain o' laundry behind me. It's clean, I just have to fold it. It took me three full loads to get it all clean. I absolutely had to do my laundry today, or I would have been stuck wearing like a skirt and tank top to work tomorrow. Without socks or any other undergarments, for that matter. So my parents went to the party, and I spoiled my brother. I let him eat hot dogs for dinner, and didn't make him eat any vegetables. And I let him stay up till ten o'clock. He did this really hilarious thing when I went to tuck him in. He had his light switch precariously positioned so that it wasn't up or down, but kind of in the middle, just high enough for the light to be on. And he was sitting on the top bunk of his bed with an arsenal of rolled-up socks, which he then threw at the light switch until he turned the light off. My brother is so cool. I told him he rocked. Oh, I got our campus newspaper yesterday and gave him a copy. He was soooo tickled that his soccer picture is included with the interview article I wrote. He read the interview and laughed his butt off at the things he said in it. Hmm. What else did I do today? Latin and Psych and Guitar work. Tonight I watched The Kid again, which I love beyond measure for some reason. Whilst I watched it, I worked on one of my sketches. I updated the forum for some c&c . . . http://www.megatokyo.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=4&t=007059 I would link that, but I'm html-impaired. Feel free to copy and paste, loyal fans of my life. I don't know what happened to my html skillz. I wrote a web site in like seventh grade, but now I can't do anything. What a bum I am. Ok so yeah. Rock on everyone. -Igneus
