day 33
I figure that it is about time for another visual update on my beard growing progress:
It's starting to come in rather nicely.
Today in my creative writing class I think I said something a bit naive.
We were reading a poem that one of my classmates had written about a wedding, and the the subject in the poem centered around one person telling another how to meet people.
HOWEVER:
The major irony in the poem centered around the person giving the advice had no date himself, and so I mentioned that I thought perhaps that conclusion could be a bit stronger if the characters were in a different context since I never really thought of it as necessary to bring a date to a wedding.
And everyone stared at me.
And then my teacher told me that I needed to go to more weddings.
So I shrugged, and whispered to myself:
"so it goes, old chap. so it goes."

7:11 PMhaha, great blog storytelling, old chap. it was funny even after i heard it in the real world.
p.s. it's sort of awkward typing this since you're watching serenity a few meters away...

two things:
first, i'm on day 20 or so. i'm not really trying to grow a beard. it just happens and i'm too lazy to do anything about it.
second, i haven't been to a wedding since i was four. however, i've been invited to six weddings and have yet been able to attend. it's not that i'm a bad friend, it's that i live two and a half states away.
