HNT – My First Half-Nekkid Thursday

Plagiarism Week ’09 marches on! For more information about what I’m doing and why I don’t have an original bone in my body, click here.

At first I was wondering if I was going to do this — as a lot of you people have made it abundantly clear how much you avoid reading blogs on Thursdays due to the gratuitous nudity which appears. But then I realized something: it’s certainly my style on HNT to open with an introductory paragraph mentioning the obstacles encountered when attempting Half-Naked Thursday. However, I always seem to come through for you all in the long run!

It was a cold, icy day in the DC area. Cold enough for me to want to wear socks. That must be saying a lot because I’m usually one to bare it all! Alas, as I didn’t want my toes to turn into icicles, I decided to keep them on after a long day at work.  But sometimes it’s simply just time to take off the pants and kick back:

See that birthmark? When I was about three I fell on some glass and cut my leg quite badly. When everything healed, I completely freaked because there was still this huge stain on my leg! I cried to my mom about it, and she had to explain to me that it was actually there when I was born, and I just hadn’t noticed it that entire time.  True story, I only thank my parents for not returning me to the hospital to exchange me for an unblemished kid.

And for those of you wondering — yes. That is an original HP PhotoSmart 850 camera in the background. Used to be my father-in-law’s. The thing sucks up battery life like there’s no tomorrow, so I retired it.

Have you guys met tymothy? He’s our stuffed monkey I got when living in Durham, NC at the Ben and Jerry’s store. Some would call him a “Chunky Monkey,” but he’s very sensitive about weight issues.

However, he’s certainly not sensitive about nekkidity and wanted to join in!

And, of course, how can HNT survive without a picture of my neck?

Now — head on over to Os’s place for more HNT fun!

(Apologies to those who feel slighted that I didn’t put the “unoriginal bone” mentioned above on display.)
