Hair

I'm thirty-seven years old and I'm still sprouting hairs on my body. I'm assuming this is normal, so that's not the problem. No, the problem is that I'm sprouting hairs on the left side of my chest but not the right side. I have no idea why this is the case. Perhaps the testosterone drains out of my right hand each night while I'm sleeping. Or whatever. ;-)

I like being low-maintenance, so I'm going to let the hair grow wherever it wants to. I expect the right side will catch up at some point. I'm not planning on shaving my chest every morning so things look balanced. If anybody is in a position to notice, I'll create a diversion. Somehow.

Another disappointment is that the hair on my chest and belly is coming in brown instead of red.

See? All outside appearances to the contrary, I can be vain, too.

Welcome to Me-ality.

I've figured out how to add links to the sidebar. I've often remarked that this journal is the closest thing to an online profile that I have, so I'll be adding links that present an overview of me and my attitudes.

My first link is to this entry that I wrote in December that describes how I found out that I have HIV.

I'm dating a rugby team!

Off work early

After a client meeting today, I took leave of my boss about 1:30 p.m. to go tromping (tramping?) through the snow with todc. He met me to drop off a serial-to-USB adapter for the Palm hand-me-down he gave me, and then we walked to Kramer's books near Dupont Circle.

The walk was fun and so was the conversation. I enjoyed talking sci-fi with him in the bookstore. Afterwards, we waited in the metro station for heterodoxy to stop briefly to say hi and collect his hubby before the two of them left for home. I got to see Doug's ring -- it's so shiny and pretty!

Even a brief meeting with my friends brings a grin to my face. :-)
