Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

For the record, I suspect if other people had legs as hairy as mine, and skin that reacts to any sort of long-term rubbing with ingrown hairs, you'd shave at least every few months. I did go a year or so once without shaving, but got sick of dealing with ingrown hairs from my socks.

At the moment, I've got about month's growth, because I can't find my stupid electric razor.

Also, as a hirsute woman, I can assure you that guard hairs (what make up men's beards and too much of my facial hair) are much harder to wax than that downy woman stuff.

I kind of irrationally resent almost anyone with very little body hair, which includes my sister, mother, and brother. And my sister-in-law. I HATE shaving or waxing or epilating, but it beats the alternative by a lot.

I wear heels when I want to because I think they are pretty. I think men's heels from the 18th century are also pretty. And that every gender should be able to wear or not wear makeup as they desire.

But I acknowledge that my genderqueer self has issues and influences that inform those opinions.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I just saw a commercial for Luvs diapers that I'm never going to be able to erase from my memory.

Then You’re Probably Driving All Wrong

That's all Smith System stuff, which two employers beat into my head years ago. The Smith System driving training is far and away the most useful employee training I ever had.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

It really must be that Time of Year, because I just had my first "spring" shave Wednesday, so that I can wear my calf-revealing sandals without The Socks Of Shame.

God, I hate leg hair removal. I put it off way too long in the winter and then realize I need a machete to get through it.

Yes, this week's warm weather also corresponded with my realization that I could not wear shorts to the gym without shame.

holy shit. that's how I have ALWAYS been driving.

Ha! Me too!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just saw a commercial for Luvs diapers that I'm never going to be able to erase from my memory.

Poop! (There It Is), or something worse?? Could there be anything worse??

No, that was it. There must be someone I can sue for emotional distress.

Ingrown hairs are the WORST.

Yeah, right there with you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It wasn't until university that I spent grooming time around women with armpit hair. I hadn't realised the gender was were thusly blessed.

In her 20s, my sister told me she'd shaved her legs. I asked why, and she said she wanted to know what it was about. I shamed her into stopping.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I just saw a commercial for Luvs diapers that I'm never going to be able to erase from my memory.

I resent so very much that I can never unsee this commercial. Stupid image-retaining brain.
