Chinese people and their hair. Sometimes it's hairlhairious (yuk yuk!), sometimes it's just gross. Do you kind of hold yourself from blurting out laughing when you see some guy with the 3 hairs growing from his mole, or maybe just some random hair growing from a spot it has no place being in? Maybe you can't help but to stare at the eyebrow hair whose length commands respect and says "I'm the king of this brow!" Well, quit it... because I have one such eyebrow hair.

Yep, it's almost 1 inch long, which makes it 3 - 4 times longer than the bush surrounding it (out of context, this line could be very embarrassing). Such hair builds character. It also evidences that I don't groom myself meticulously. It's true. I don't trim my hairbrows -- which is supposedly done by brushing your brow hair upwards and trimming the hairs that exceed the area of the brow, then repeating downwards. I don't trim my nose hairs either, which is probably called for. Whenever A complains about them, I just pluck whatever I can get my nails on. I guess trimming would be less painful and save me the tears that form in my eyes.

So, should I trim this aggressive brow hair just to "fit in"?
