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

So yeah, I'm 28, going on 18. 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.

Sorry to hear about work and your wrist but I am glad to hear you're good otherwise. I'm living on my own now with my girls and although I do get a bit lonely from time to time I am able to start doing things I wasn't able to before which is great. It's like being a caged bird, set free! I am going to try to get a support meet together for November, hopefully I'll see you then! Take care of yourself!!! :)
