Plucked my eyebrows yesterday.

I don't know if I am generalizing here, but this seems to be something that women, more often than men do? If so, I don't know how you do it without getting pissed off.

First of all, I'm half blind so I had to lean over the sink which caused a backache. I know I should have a hand mirror, but I don't.

Then you have to get the stupid hair right in between the tweezers, and then squeeze the tweezers and pull. It seems to be difficult to maneuver that hair in between the tweezers because every movement is backwards in the mirror.

Finally, I really tried to keep my composure while doing this, but I lost it. About every 5th hair or so, there would be one super long one that I just could not get in between the tweezers, which caused me to talk to myself as follows.

OK, take your time, you can get it.

Get in there, hair.

Don't let a little hair defeat you, it's just a hair.

Jesus Christ it's in there, why isn't it coming out when I pull?

Fuck what's the problem here?

GET IN THERE!

GET IN THERE!

YOU BASTARD!

YOU FUCKING BASTARD GET IN THERE!

10 MINUTES ON ONE FUCKING HAIR!

YOU'RE DEAD MOTHERFUCKER! GET IN THERE!

I need to know when this is coming.

I've never plucked an eyebrow in my life except maybe once in high school after which I concluded, nope, not happening.

If you're in high school, I don't have to worry. If the bastards start springing out all over the place in later years, I'm going to need some time to psych myself up for it.
