i became a man without realizing it.

i've had the same half dozen strands of hair on my chest since high school. this morning, while towelling off after my shower, i looked down to see dozens, nay, scores of the black curly wisps, no longer centered in the center of my chest, but spread all across it. i thought at first that Black Cat had been sleeping on me again, but these hairs were attached to me. i don't know where all this hair came from, and i cannot be called hirsute, but i'm going to take some pride in my new manliness, and show it off by leaving my top three buttons unbuttoned and not wearing an undershirt. until my boss tells me stop, at least. i'll tell him to gaze into the chest hair and feels the power of my masculinity. yay me for growing up!

of course, right after seeing that the hair on my chest had popped up so suddenly, i immediately checked my back too. thankfully, nothing has popped up there. i don't think i'm ready to be that masculine yet.
