Say Cheese

[Syuurin]

So adorable! Reminds me of all the baby pictures of me with cats.

My daughter seems to make the same thinking face that I do: [ATTACH]1156[/ATTACH] And yes, that black hairy mass next to her is Manowar, and she loves her dogs. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

Adorable pensive babyface! I'll have to post some more pics of my boy when I get the chance, he's just getting bigger and bigger... as they do.

Speaking of cats, here is me + cat. We have another one but she hates being held and would probably kill me. You can't really tell, but I really need to cut my hair. I wish I could grow it out, but I'd have to start straightening it again because it gets frizzy and waves ridiculously otherwise, and I don't want to do all that damage to it anymore. I'm jealous of your hair, Iceni; why it is so fabulously straight and un-frizzed? ):

I can't really help it, but everytime I see this threadname, I think this thread is about cheese, literally.

That's because cats are not pets, they merely tolerate your existence because you feed them, but when they get annoyed with you they'll claw your ass. Sorry, I'm not much of a cat person, I train dogs and feel that they're far superior, but will admit that they do take more work and don't allow you as much independence. However, they are there for you when you need them, and will do whatever job they're given to the best of their ability, in addition to not stinking up your abode. I have curly hair as well, and it is a bit to maintain when long, but I wouldn't trade it. I advise everyone to keep their hair long, I think it looks better in almost any case, but that's just me.

Mine's not curly--just wavy, and it doesn't wave in a pretty way. If it were curly, I'd keep it longer. The cat in the picture is extra sweet, as are most cats I know. She even knows how to play around with hands without using claws. Cats are the best. ): Our other one was rescued as a kitten, though, and never got over being skittish. (We have a dog, too, and she's great; I don't actually mind if you don't like cats, haha.)

You'll have to go ahead not minding that I don't like cats, you may have noticed my Super Moderator title which implicitly states that I can ban you for disagreeing with me. All in good fun of course, I'm honestly hoping you do stick around. We get high traffic here, but very few of those become regulars, and it looks like you're a good fit with what we're about here. We like to talk metal AND other non-metal things, no flame wars, plenty of silliness, just good people. I think you are a great addition to that, and I would imagine that the others would agree. Let me know if you have any questions or need anything. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

pls dont ban me i love dogs swear on me mum But really, thanks! I'm definitely intending to stick around. It's been a long time since I had a small forum to be a part of, and it feels great to get back into it. Nothing like talking to people with a mutual interest about things that have nothing to do with that interest.

I'm jealous of your hair' date=' Iceni; why it is so fabulously straight and un-frizzed? ):[/quote'] I made a concerted effort to wash my hair very well that day, I went to an Easter lunch which is where that picture was taken. That said, my hair usually is straight because it's saturated with oil. Right now my hair is matted and stringy because DC weather is a muggy bastard to this lovely mantle of mine.

[Syuurin]

Not necessarily a bad thing--oil keeps the hair healthier. Mine gets that way too, but I've found that since I stopped straightening it, some oiliness can actually make it look better rather than worse. Don't even get me started about humid weather. Houston is the actual worst place. Even Chicago can get bad, since I live right next to the lake. It was worse when I straightened it (everything was worse when I straightened my hair, apparently...), but holy hell do I hate humidity.

[Iceni]

I did actually consider whether Houston was worse, since it was my benchmark for humidity but I do actually think DC is worse, the summers are murderous. I cannot go outside for more than three minutes before I start sweating and my hair gets messed up. Seven minutes and I might as well not even have showered. It's the only place I've been where it's ever been hot and raining heavily. Even Alabama isn't that bad. Of course, considering I want to do work regarding Central Africa I've probably seen nothing yet.

[FatherAlabaster]

Man, I don't miss my hair at all. I've had it long three times, and the last time I chopped it off was just after my son was born. So much more comfortable, and honestly better-looking for me, long hair hasn't suited me for years.

[~Mere~]

I've been told many times that I have too much hair and asked why is it so long

lol I can see that with a guy. I like this one too, "how long you gonna grow it or keep it that way". Till it stops growin, I dunno Baffling...

[Iceni]

I like this one too' date=' "how long you gonna grow it or keep it that way".[/quote'] That one just annoys me, I tend to want to ask 'Well, how long are you going to continue wearing pastel shorts and loafers with no socks, you nosy prick?'

[FatherAlabaster]

The real question for these people is, "how long are you going to go around worrying about what other people do with their hair when it's clearly none of your fucking business?" One of the nice things about living here is that nobody looks twice, or gives much of a shit what people look like. And there are so many metalheads here that "the look" is nothing exceptional.

[~Mere~]

Ha! I am clearly living in the wrong place

[Frostaudn]

Jup, me too. People here are already prejudged when they see a guy with long hair. Or women withtattoo's or piercings.

This summer is kind of dry, but last summer was actually terrible. Same situation, humid rain all week long. .-.

Guys should always have long hair. It's 500% more attractive. (Well, unless you don't know how to pull it off.)

Clearly I should move.

I agree in some cases, but most of the time, guys don't take care of their long hair and it looks like shit. I don't know why it's so difficult for some, but it's worth the time to keep it from looking like a straw broom. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
