03/14/2002 Archived Entry: "I have a strange confession to make..."
Okay... I have a confession. You already know I'm a little strange. Maybe now, you'll all know just how kooky I really am. I've decided that I'm ready to share the true extent my kookiness with the world. So here it is...
Every once in awhile I reach over to my husband's belly button, scrape out the belly button lint and then hold it on the end of my finger and make a wish on it. Then I gently blow it away. It's kinda like making a wish with a puffy seeded dandelion and blowing the seeds away in the wind. Only it's belly button lint.
But last night I found out I'm not the only one who does strange things with BBL (belly button lint for the uninitiated). In fact, someone's created a whole web site and survey about BBL. Apparently, you have to have just the right amount of belly hair in just the right places to create BBL. The site discusses all kinds of whacked out (and not-so-whacked-out) theories about where BBL comes from, why it's often a greyish-blue colour, who gets it and why. They even asked people to fill out a survey and participate in belly hair shaving experiments to determine why BBL exists.
But nobody admitted to wishing on their husband's belly button lint. So I guess I'm strange.
