my girlfriend and the dog are bedcover hogs.

Why am I still awake? I feel sleepy. My eyes are droopy now. But as soon as a lie down and close them, I can't fall asleep. Maybe it's because I slept half the day. Maybe it's the excessive coffee I had in the evening. Maybe it's because my lips are so chapped.

Tonight I realized I wanted to re-read the book 'Come Hither' because sometimes going back to the beginning makes me feel more confident about what I know and don't know. But I think I loaned it to someone, and I'm horrible about asking for things back. I feel I should offer some explanation, but I don't really want to talk to them about it. I'm just lame this way. One of my favorite Paula Poundstone jokes was about how she couldn't ask for the money back that people borrowed from her, so the next time she was in their house she just broke something of the same approximate value.

On the train ride home the other night I was thinking about my hair, or lack thereof. And while I love how it looks and feels (I started shaving partly because I'm attracted to other men with shaved heads), I suddenly realized that now I have no hair that can be pulled.....should the need ever arise. For a brief moment I felt rather mournful and nearly committed to growing it out again.

There's always later in life.

no pressure, but...

When you're ready for hair pulling, it might just be too late. Elected baldness is no joke, but remember there might come a day when your choice becomes your destiny...MWAHAHA! (that was a sinister and ominous laugh, BTW). So, hmm, does that mean the other userpic is actually you (or is it some famous person that I don't have a clus about? and I'm not talking about this blonde peace sign dude...)

I'm sure my hairline will start receding (even more), but I"m not anticipating full baldness for a couple decades. I'll probably grow my hair out by then.

Actually, part of the reason I wanted to shave my head (it's not clean shaven, just close clipped) is that I wanted to make sure I didn't look bad in case I did start to go bald -- I certainly don't want to resort to combovers.

I'm not actually featured in any of my userpics, though a couple of them resemble me a little. The blond guy is Spike from Buffy and he's actually holding up his hand to say "Two words." As in, 'I have two words for you.....' I guess it's the prime time equivalent of flicking someone off.
