Oldhat, Dorkmuffin, Stoto, Fauxhammer, Greasemonkey - *blushes until a third of my blood is now on my cheeks* Thanks...!
Alan Tyson - Indeed it is, although it also gives you the very strong feeling of being naked, which is gradually fading away.
Paul Sizer - Man, that is EXACTLY what I thought when I was done shaving. That and "oh fuck that goddamn lock of hair WON'T GO AWAY", followed by frantic shaving.
Alastair - Thanks. When I finished shaving, I looked in the mirror and thought, "Well, at least now that I look marginally less friendly, freshmen and other people will stop coming up to me on the street with plastic cups badgering me for money". When I left the apartment, I was assaulted by one of the most insistent beggars I've ever met. I need to start walking with a gun or something.
@Andre: It looks good. I hate the skinned look and think most people look horrible with it, and i totally preferred your wavy hair, but you actually manage to pull this off! Though you look a bit like a gangster. Please add lots of gang tattoos and a wifebeater.
*GULP* Sorry all, but in Robin's defense, it was a very discreet, respectful toast pic; nothing trashy and very sweet, actually. Nothing for her to be self conscious or timid about. : )
Oda - Thank you! Trust me, I prefer the hair as well, but it's been so utterly terrible recently, I needed a sudden change. It'll grow back. Hopefully. Also, you look absolutely stunning. Lovely hair.
Oldhat and Paul - Aw, Robin, don't be shy! I agree with Paul, it was a really nice pic (and I know it wasn't a naked toast to me).
Oh hi. I've been dragged away from the internets due to work and other such things lately. I worked 25 of the last 48 hours and woke up today with a loss of direction because I didn't have to be anywhere. So I grabbed some people and went to see Sucker Punch instead.
Edited to add: Wait, Oda's hair is redder than mine. This must be corrected. ;)
You know Andre, I was trying to work out why the bald pic was unsettling me and I realised your stubble looks unnervingly, in that light, like a robotic steel skull-frame on which the skin grafts haven't full taken in the back. I want to peel your face off like a bandaid.
Speaking of unsettling, I had some photos taken at the Sydney Zombie March over the weekend.
(y'all can check the rest of 'em out too if you like, I for one cackled with glee at the minecraft zombie and was greatly impressed by the dedication of the man gnawing on his own prosthetic foot)
Lucien, I may not be able to outdrink you, but I can at least look more sober than you. We were about equal that night and I was still getting served drinks. :P
hehehheh, i'll buy the tits argument. i've been thrown out of bars in toronto dead sober because some people think i look scary, the booze sometimes magnifies this effect, but i can operate pretty drunk, if that actually means anything, even though, i have, no idea, how to use, commas,, .
edited to attempt to explain how i managed to get kicked out of bars while dead sober, but i figure it's probably uninteresting and would take too long. going back to my original strategy of shutting up now since i have no photies to share.
Finally got the nerve up to get a tattoo. I've lost 10% of my body weight in 13 weeks, figured I'd earned a little protection. (goddamn it this stings like a son-of-a-bitch how do you inked folk do it?!)
