Love me, love me, define me
Apr. 12th, 2007 12:51 amMaelstrom was better for me than it has been for some time, thanks in no small part to a resolve to get out and meet new people. The game works much better for a gregarious character, and Blossom is basically supposed to be a curious sort if chap when he's not wrapped up in his personal trauma.
Also helping were interesting developments and profound, if you will, decisions. Faced with a dilemma, it was interesting to see to whom Blossom turned for advice and counsel.
Enough of such self-indulgent frippery, though! The real point of this post is to note that the lovely
kneeshooter appears to have processed his photos in record time, and thus we have the traditional post-Strom sausageAndyfest.
Returning to the subject at hand, I feel it is worth mentioning this rugged gentleman from the recent Vikings! event. Crikey, I would.
(Oh, incidentally, on the subject of facial hair. I decided that I had to shave off the tiny chinrat because Blossom does not have one. For the curious, however, I did take a few shots on my phone, which I have yet to upload, but I am determined not to forget. IIRC I had three positive reactions, a couple of noncommitals and one or two "Oh my god get rid of it"s. And plenty of people politely ignoring it. Which just goes to show.)
Parting shot: Don't they make a handsome couple?

- Always one step behind
- Ahh, a new thoughtful pic

Oh! I forgot to mention.
For VIKINGS! at the weekend (which was awesome) I grew something that could charitably be described as not entirely unlike a beard. It took me three weeks[1].
As has been noted in this journal before (though I can't find the link at the moment), the process of beard removal traditionally happens piece by piece, in order to consider the appearance at various stages[2] During this procedure I decided what the hell I'll leave myself a bit. It's not too itchy and doesn't look too bad; if nothing else it'll be a laugh for a few days. I haven't taken any pictures yet but for reference it's somewhere between the chinrat and soul patch.
This is both fascinating and important, and you are a richer person for having read the above entry.
[1] I'm not ashamed. All my testosterone is focussed somewhere else.
[2] Well, you do when it takes you three weeks to get past the "unkempt stubble" stage. Who knows when you'll next have a chance to see yourself with a ridiculous moustache?
