The Beard Is Freakin' Me Out

So far, my growing beard has received mostly positive comments. Many are simply polite, some are clearly genuine, some unexpectedly genuine. A small minority do not like the beard. Overall, it's the reaction I expected to get. The original plan called for a week's growth. Seeing how well the beard is coming in I am tempted to grow it out a little longer. However, it's becoming a little weird to see myself with the hairy beast on my face so I don't know that I'll make it past Saturday. We'll see. I still haven't told my parents, and since I don't think they read my blog, they won't know until my brother mentions it or I tell them. On a weird note, I realized today that my dad grew a beard when he was about my age. Maybe he was a little younger, I don't quite remember. That freaked me out in that "you grow up to be your parents" way.

Update: I think I'm gonna upgrade to Flickr Pro so I can create more albums. Then I'm gonna transfer over my photos (and get full-size backups!) Plus, I like the community feel a lot.
