Everything I Wish I Didn't Know

Well I finally did it. I finally slept past my stop on the bus this morning. Luckily I woke up before the next stop instead of on the drive back to Kingwood because that would have sucked. Disaster averted, I just had to walk a bit further.

Welp, that album cover has popped back up online so if you haven't seen it yet and want to then here.

My shaving frequency has gotten back to pretty much everyday. During the week at least. Oftentimes I will stare at my face in the mirror trying to convince myself to shave when I am sleepy. Oftentimes there is a pair of tweezers on the counter. Would I have the patience and the pain tolerance to "shave" with these tweezers, whisker by whisker? Oftentimes I have wondered this. I'd never have time to do it before leaving for work in the morning, but it might work as an afternoon project. Anyone else ever have this temptation? If I ever take the plunge, I will film it and make a sped-up video, and find a way to post it. I'm sure everyone would want to see that.

"...big blundering Hagrid, in trouble every other week, trying to raise werewolf cubs under his bed, sneaking off to the Forbidden Forest to wrestle trolls......" - Riddle to Harry in CoS.
Is Tom exaggerating when he says this? What the blood is a werewolf cub, a little kid that turns into a wolf fortnightly? (I know fullmoons don't happen that often, I just wanted to say "fortnightly") So Hagrid tried to keep little kids under his bed? That's mean. Why does he need to raise them, did he kidnap them? It doesn't make an ounce of difference, I'm just surprised it didn't strike me as weird until now.

I think you would have the patience, but not the pain tolerance to "pluck" your face, and I'm surprised you never found that "werewolf cub" line strange.

Is that a challenge?
I am equally surprised.
Highest kudos on the quotage.

I think your point about the werewolf cubs actually points to the general nature of werewolves themselves. Since werewolf literally means "man-wolf," it is likely that only full grown men are eligible for the transformation. I mean, who has ever heard of a female werewolf? Ridiculous!

Playing by the same rules of Old English, a female werewolf would probably be referred to as a "wifwolf", "wif" being OE for "woman".

Anyway, what was this referring to? Oh, the cubs. As for that, I don't know.
