About Me:: I figure I should fill this out a bit.

So yeah, I'm 27, going on 17. My invisible business cards list the occupation "computer programmer" in a bold, but tasteful font.

I ascribe the following adjectives to myself: Geeky, reserved, goofy, quiet (ninja-like), romantic, lazy.

My body first expressed its desire for hairlessless at age eight with the complete disappearance of my side burns. Yep, that looked a bit weird. But hey, I was eight. My mom was much more concerned about it than I was. After a few rounds of painful cortisone injections, my hair returned and I was officially normal again.

Five years later my body decided it would try the no-hair thing again, but this time on a much larger scale. I mean, if I was able to live with out side burns, I'd be able to live without any hair at all, right? I assume this was its line of thinking.

Over the course of a year my folicles slowly shut down and by age 14, with a little help from a razor, I was ready for my starring role in Powder (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114168/).

Aside from a bit of transient fuzz on my ears and the occasional bit of chest hair (woot!), I've been super-smooth ever since.

If you are interested in coming to our meeting though, we'll be discussing times and dates so just let me know what works better for you and we can try and accomodate that.
