We've all heard horror stories. Cornflakes stuck to the chin during sacrament talks, faces plastered with snot, and bleached eyebrows are just a few of many terrible instances. But I learned today that breaches of personal hygiene aren't truly influential until they happen to you personally.
When I arrived home from school today, I promptly headed upstairs to change my clothes before going to my violin lesson(yes, I did go). As I slipped a T-shirt over my head, I glanced at the mirror and noticed something peculiar glinting on my neck. May it be universally known that my room is very sunny at this time of day, and nothing reveals physical flaws like natural light. Thanks to this, upon closer inspection I discovered the shiny something to be a hair-- an unnaturally long and straight hair-- growing out of my neck. You can imagine my reaction. I made a beeline for my tweezers, and extracted the little bugger quickly. It was incredible, and probably should have been framed. The thing was so long it had more split ends than any hair growing out of my head. And then I saw it: another culprit, shorter than the first but much darker. I removed it as well, feeling rather unnerved and curious as to what could have spawned such a monster.
All I can say is this: either I have failed in the plucking industry or my hormones are severely screwed up.
The mirror tells no lies.

Bwa ha ha ha!
Don't worry. We all have stories like that. But we don't usually share them.
You must have been very dramatized. You're startin' to talk like moi!
"The things was so long..."
I love the words was....
I'm just joking! :)
Typo error. My apologies.
You are right, Nat, of course. I suppose openness in this category transcends the bounds of propriety and good manners. I simply found this occurence so extraordinary and marvelous that I could not keep it to myself, and so publicly posted it on the internet to be viewed by all, thus only humiliating me further...
I suppose I have failed in that category as well.
jos--
you know that I can completely sympathize with your dilemma--atleast you aren't capable of growing a full beard! (well, as far as we know....)
This is a pretty spectacular occurance. It's not every day that you find an unusually large glimmering hair growing out of your neck. I agree with Natalie. I'm surprised that you wrote this. I like your post though. Keep it up.
I'm glad that you attended your lesson. How did that go?
Wowza. At least they weren't coming out of your armpit. Blast our crazy hormones!
Joslynn...
Your background on your homepage looks like the color of the dress I just bought only darker. Anyway have a great day!
Um, did I give you permission to disclose my eyebrow bleaching story? It's not my fault I used hydrogen peroxide one week before junior prom...oh geez. I just covered it up with pencil.
One more thing...I stand as a witness that Joslynn gets long neck hairs. I'm done.
