TC, but of course! Why else would a guy grow his hair out for? Just let me know next time you’re in the northwest…

I don’t know about man of mystery though, I’m pretty open. Heck, at one point on the site you can see what I ate for breakfast every day for 6 months… 6 months of pointless diaries and the like. It’s only vaguely hidden too.

techchick:  
I just haven’t run into a computer person with blonde hair yet, male or female. The females have short dark hair, maybe earrings and a leather jacket. The males are nerdier with spiky hair at times. Just kidding.Stereotypes.

I often shock people with my blonde hair…they think I might be better suited (talking stereo types) for a receptionist type job. Even though I don’t have math skills I work based on spacial (sp) understanding, which is why I understand cars and their inner workings.

It’s “if this does that (picture in mind) then why this?”

I am weird, I am a pretty handy person even if operating systems and applications piss me off, I still dig it all 🙂

WOW! Hey, techie, take your pic, add a few pounds\<ok,ok, it’s really _smfhffjk_lbs\>, ☹ and you almost have me! I,too have long blonde hair, wear glasses\<blind w/o them\> and I wear my hair parted on the right side most of the time. I’d love to post a pic of me, but I have NO CLUE how. If someone will tell me how, I’ll do it!

MadPoet, you look rather yummy! what color are your eyes, btw?

Santi, I like your little goatee, very nice.

fogmage, not bad, not bad at all.

You all look very nice, and some of you like I thought you’d look, and some of you different. Makes me wonder what fellow posters think I look like?? Hmmmmm. 😕

You sing in my consciousness like a counterpoint to my life.

If I spiked my hair, I would have trouble getting through doors.

## PB: Brown eyes, thought I am starting a colored contact lens collection, so that is subject to change without notice.
