i shaved my legs with my eyes closed this morning. the shampoo was running into my eyes.

i shave my legs every 4 days all year round. no exceptions. i love having my legs shaved. arm pits too. i shave those even more frequently. when i was a teenager i was very different i let my armpit hair grown freely, it didn't bother me. however, it became a hinderance in keeping my body clean, so i kept it shorter. but short armpit hair is prickly like a man's face. so now i just keep them shaved all the time. it's my preference. i'm not bothered by my long-haired armpitted friends. that's their preference. i'm not political about armpit hair, no more than i am about the length of fingernails. sometimes i feel shocked when i see it on other people, but not because i'm offended, i've simply i forget that armpits are not actually bald. legs are a slightly different matter. i love the silkiness of my calves when shorn. if something comes up that hinders me from shaving my legs the hair slowly starts to bother me. i can feel it getting caught in my socks or pant legs. it grates on me like nails on a chalkboard. one time i was chatting with beckie online and said "i have to go. i need to shave my legs". nothing could have been more important to me than getting that attended to.

i've been thinking about sense of humour. humour is broad, and there's a sliding scale. some people enjoy other people's humour, but don't really express it. some people laugh really easily and thoroughly enjoy other people's humour, but aren't particularly funny themselves. then there are those who are funny and laugh long. and then there are those who are so funny that they can deliver with a straight face. i had a former colleague who laughed the most at her own jokes. that was always kind of awkward to sit thru :S

as i considered humour i thought of the funny people i know, and everyone is different. brendan's humour is dry and sutble - it actually goes unnoticed to most people until they get to know him and start to recognize his quiet side remarks. shannon has weird and random humour. cas, her humour is dry and witty with some sarcasm thrown in the mix. matt is kind of silly. melody's humour is sarcastic and observant. david... he's another story; he exaggerates and delights in awkwardness. tim lyon's humour is honest, he's funny because the things he says are true. ben and megan's humour are very similar in the sense that they can both say funny things with a straight face and they're very quick. however, ben then surpasses meg with his ability to describe things in the most creative ways. he has a way with words for sure. bren makes me laugh because she's very astute, and mike... his humour is kind of self-depricating. anyways... i'm sure that at this point you're starting to get my point. that there's lots of different ways faces of funny. i can't quite pin down my sense of humour. i'm not a joke teller, nor am i sarcastic or random. i'm sure there's lots of different kinds of funny that i haven't identified yet. i guess i fall into one of those categories.

i won't be blown by every breeze.
