Today I woke up an hour too early by mistake, but didn't realize it until I'd already been up for 15 minutes. At first I was dismayed, but then I brightened and decided to make the most of it all, because I had realized I could capitalize on this extra time and Nair my wispy blonde moustache. I've noticed recently that although it's not so noticeable most of the time, the lighting in the bathroom reflects on it in a way that makes me feel like everyone is noticing all the time. I bought the Nair at Walgreen's last weekend, but hadn't used it yet.

A lot of them really are quite weird or oddly specific, and they are interesting to learn about. So I thought that's what this website would be like.
