I shaved my beard today. And I got a lot of reactions, so I’ll tell you about them.
Before/after
At home
Becky didn’t say anything, but she saw me shaving in my bathroom and she’s seen me without a beard before.
Babygirl asked me why I got a haircut. To her surprise, shaving is not a haircut.
At school
Megha loved it, she was also anticipating this day heavily because I dropped a hint earlier that this was coming.
Kristin said I looked like a kid, but liked it.
Tom was ecstatic.
Sarah had no big comment like Juan.
Deb was expecting a much bigger surprise today and was dismayed about the relatively small change (she was expecting me to have grown a third arm or something).
Sanjam couldn’t stop staring—I think she wants me now.
Yu-ching and Wen-yen were surprised too wanted to know why, Will, why?!
On AIM
Kristin found out that I shaved by way of my new buddy icon, since I change it daily.
At home
Mom was very sad at the development and said that I just ruined her day.

You look to be roughly 12 years of age in the new picture. Doesn't COPA require children under 12 to have parental approval to post online? You DO have parental approval, right?

What is this bullshit comment approval? Just cause spam attacks blogs like white on rice, or like a cat on a hot tin roof, or like a bat out of hell, or like a big dog. Some of those don't really apply, but when in Rome.
