Floating the Day Away...

* Post at least 3 things you've done in your lifetime that you don't think anybody else on your friends list has done.
* See if anybody else responds with "I've done that."
* Have your friends cut & paste this into their journal to see what unique things they've done in their life

1. Had sex with 5 men at the same time
2. Earned 9 bucks performing as a drag queen
3. Had a cat ejaculate on me when I rubbed his tummy
4. Been to Lanzarote, Canary Islands, where Enemy Mine was filmed
5. Shaved my head bald (for women, that's rare)
6. Was security for Star Trek actors at a convention
7. Met Savion Glover and got his autograph
8. Neil Gaiman answered a question of mine in his blog!

So, I'm sitting at work with my new fuzzy purple hat, writing to you now. I haven't been brave enough to take off my hat in front of my co-workers yet. But my head hasn't gotten hot enough to take it off either. I have to admit that I'm scared. Stripping away something that is a source of pride is a scary thing. I look at everyone with their hair all styled and coiffed and I think, their hair is a source of their identity. If you stripped away their hair, they would lose a part of themselves and most likely wouldn't know what to do.

I don't know what to do.

I've stripped myself of something I always enjoyed about myself. Heck, I even took the time to take special pictures when I thought I was having a good hair day. You've seen them. But I need to love all of me, not just a part of me. That's what I keep telling myself. So, the first day of the rest of my life is scary, but all things of this nature should start out this way, don't you think?

Nervous, but alive nonetheless,
