To beard or not to beard

I haven't run out of things to say. I've tried a couple of times to put posts up in the last week and for some stupid reason my words get lost by blogger. It pisses me off when I take the time to write something and it just evaporates for reasons unknown. Rather then try to reconstruct what I wrote, I just turn my attentions to downloading porn or turning off the computer all together.

I'd been growing a beard for a couple of months. Some would say I hadn't shaved. But I don't see it that way because it makes it sound like you've neglected some duty. I prefer to use the active verb "bearding" which sounds more like you're achieving something.

I noticed in the last couple of weeks the beard seemed to take on it's own identity. It changed my face and because I wasn't 100% used to it, it would startle me a bit to see it in a mirror. I've always been more of a goatee guy. Every year or so I try a beard and I'm usually not happy with the results. This year was no different so yesterday I put my beard trimmer on #2 and buzzed it down to almost nothing. I feel more like myself now. When will I ever learn?

FLG (Flatlinegirl) invited me over last night to play video games with her and LSP (Live Semen Pellet). We played Grand Theft Auto and I sucked. I stopped playing video games around the time they were played with either joysticks or paddles so I'm a bit slow to learn how to use a control with 20 knobs and buttons. I was better at the arcade games within the game than at the game itself. They were easier. But LSP still kicked my ass on them.

LSP is also "bearding". He's been doing it longer than I was and it's getting quite bushy. I'm not sure I could have let mine go that long. I had planned to let it go all winter but like I said, it had it's own identity and the power struggle was making me uncomfortable. I wonder how long LSP can hold out before he brings out the razor.

I borrowed a copy of Spirited Away from FLG. I enjoy anime and I was looking forward to seeing this one. I showed D this morning and he gave it a funny look and said he didn't want to see it. He doesn't want to watch a cartoon (?). I explained that anime was different from Western animation but he didn't care (and apparently he knew that already). I think it's funny that someone who works in the film industry would say something so silly. I'm a bit pissed off at him for being so closed minded. But I'm going to wait a bit before I tell him tactfully that he sounds ignorant.
