A Serious Open Letter To Arcanaville

I would join in the shouting to take Arcanaville out to coffee, but it just wouldn't work out. She's too popular for me.

Eh, i wouldn't mind meeting her for coffee, and romance isn't the point. i'd just like to meet the person that posts under the name Arcanaville, regardless of gender or hawtness. (Not that i'd complain if she was hawt.)

However, i'm in New England, running a shoggoth cannery (or something), and she's apparently in Hawaii. Meeting for coffee is not terribly likely.

My biggest geek/gamer plan for the summer is to attend Connecticon since it's in my general area and i'll be able to take some time off by then. Hawaii? Not so much.


Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...

I think you all are missing two very important points...

1.) Arcanaville posts on the internet.
2.) Arcanaville is good at math.

At last count, there were merely 7 girls on the internet. Also, historically, there have been 13 girls that were good at math.
I think Arcanaville would agree with me here...the chances of her being an actual girl are slim to none.

P.S. Please don't kill me.

Ooo, I'm feeling the love. Careful, though. I might not have a soul.

Jesus christ, I wake up in the morning and y'all have gone berserk.

Awesome.

To engage on a serious, serious topic, as a male, I was once offered by my father a large sum of money if I'd 'cut my damn hair.' I've got a kind of generic, nothing-special brown hair, and I proceeded to get it cut back to Jonathon-Brandis lookalike length, then, because I had money left over, bleach it. Turns out my hair doesn't take well to bleach - I wasn't a blonde, I was more a kind of orangey redhead for a few months.

Also, god damn, people post some interesting pics.

Being a native american, no. I will say that I have been a musician for 27 years, and in the same band since 1986. I play guitar mostly.

Consider yourself lucky. I'm 29 and will soon be a sufferer of full-on male pattern baldness thanks to my genetics. I've shaved my head for years, though, so it is only sometimes an issue.

(Interesting note: I only started to go bald after I shaved my head for the first time.)

Oh, and count me in the "intelligence is sexy" camp. Smart chicks are awesome.

I'm there too, going bald in the front, already have naturally thin hair, AND I'm blonde... so it doesn't look good. I've had my head shaven for the last two years, and just recently decided to grow it out to see what's left. I'm not happy..

I have a friend with solid black hair, who started to go gray in high school. He was less than pleased with this.

I am getting a bald spot on top, I have fine thin hair anyway, and when my hair gets even medium length it appears as though I've been hanging around inside the reactor. I keep it in a crew cut for now, but it won't be many years before I give up and keep it shaved, and then George Carlin's words will ring forever in my ears. (I used to be bright blonde, now I'm a dark blonde. I'm a guy, but sometimes I go red or platinum or gold, just for the heck of it. I think I make a good-looking redhead.)

Oh yeah, I tried growing my hair long, back when I was in high school, and wow, did I look weird. Turns out when my hair gets past a certain length, it curls, but only from right there! Have you seen that Bugs Bunny cartoon where he barbers that orange monster (Edited: Gossamer, thank you Wiki) into looking like Shirley Temple? Yeah.

I tried growing my hair out a few times. The farthest I ever got, my hair was at around mouth-level. While I do still want long hair, I've given up on ever getting any, because it simply doesn't look good on me.

On the balding front, my grandfather is in his mid-seventies, and has gray temples, but a dark top. My mother, who turned fifty in March, doesn't have a gray hair yet. It's still a light blond. I'm hoping to follow in their footsteps.

What about your hair?

The longest my hair has ever been was a couple inches longer than my butt. Now it reaches to about the points of my shoulder blades.

However, I am a girl, so that is not that odd at all.

Hair... is evil. Haha. I have a golden brown color that my stylist says is too pretty to dye. I had it grown past my shoulders a bit in high school, hated it, and kept it close cropped like any decent college boy should. Lol.

And Player, Mr. Fantastic's hair is cute! Also, it makes him look distinguished. = )

I'd wondered what the devs would throw out to distract us from the I15 badge changes.

The answer is this thread. Truly, they are masters of manipulation.

Back when I was first starting high school, I knew a guy named Bob. He was considered lucky by his family because he had kept his hair longer than any other male in his family. He was 14. From what they told me, they all had gone bald by the age of 12. Bob's hair was thinning out, so he decided to shave it and it never came back.

Bad, but funny at the time, story to go with it. Bob was a skinny, almost albino white kid with glasses. After he shaved his head, he was selling candy bars for school. Nobody was buying any, so he came up with a new idea. He started telling people he was selling candy bars to pay for his chemo.
He ended up setting a record for selling candy bars at his school.

Heh. Sort of sounds like me, though I don't let it get all that long these days.

I have three hair "phases."
Short, generally behaves, straight..
Medium, looks like a mess (including one bit that sticks out like a horn growing out of my neck,)
Long, nice and curly.

Medium drives me *nuts.*

Mine tends to stay ramrod-straight. I can't braid it well, can't curl it at all. It's the Native American blood, I think. REALLY annoying.

I have to do my hair into whatever position I want it to take -right- after conditioning, while it's still soaking wet. Otherwise it dries in whatever position it's in and won't change no matter what I do. It's -that- stubborn.

Once it hits my shoulders, though, it starts getting wavy/curly, and turns into a horrible rat's nest.

So at long length it's impossible to take care of. At medium length it's impossible to style. And if I cut it too short it turns into an afro because the hairs themselves are thick and strong. Without the weight of their length they just stick straight out.

The upshot: I have -great- body and volume.
