- About Me:
- I signed up for this site (the 3rd time now haha), to make friends who have the same interests as myself, and extend my possibility of finding a girl who is as loyal as I am.
If you have a problem with me, there's 7 billion + people on this pale blue dot, so go away.
I'm in the universe, and the universe is in me. Giggity.
I love life, my family (includes my 2 cats and 2 dogs) and friends very much.
I have alopecia universalis (my immune system thinks hair is bad, thus I cannot grow hair anywhere on my body. It kicked in when I was like, 6 or 7, so yes I have had hair. It is not harmful to me, so no I am not going to die, but it has had it's emotional toll on me.)
So now you know why I'm a hairless weirdo.
I also have Type 1 Diabetes as a result of being prone to endocrine disorders with said alopecia. I was diagnosed March 7th 2014 with an AIC of 15.3%. I have these two things, but they don't have me. Apparently my body likes to attack itself.
I am heavily passionate about heavy metal (although I do enjoy other genres of music). I do flyers for concerts/events and I have made logos for bands.
As far as politics goes, it disgusts me.
And for religion, same. Paganism and Buddhism (although Buddhism isn't religion) are okay by me. These two quotes somewhat sum up my opinion:
"We do not know what awaits each of us after death, but we know that we will die. Clearly, it must be possible to live ethically--with a genuine concern for the happiness of other sentient beings--without presuming to know things about which we are patently ignorant. Consider it: every person you have ever met, every person you will pass in the street today, is going to die. Living long enough, each will suffer the loss of his friends and family. All are going to lose everything they love in this world. Why would one want to be anything but kind to them in the meantime?" - Sam Harris
"If religion were true, its followers would not try to bludgeon their young into an artificial conformity; but would merely insist on their unbending quest for truth, irrespective of artificial backgrounds or practical consequences. With such an honest and inflexible openness to evidence, they could not fail to receive any real truth which might be manifesting itself around them. The fact that religionists do not follow this honorable course, but cheat at their game by invoking juvenile quasi-hypnosis, is enough to destroy their pretensions in my eyes even if their absurdity were not manifest in every other direction." —Lovecraft in a letter to Maurice W. Moe, August 3, 1931. Available in SELECTED LETTERS I
I'm a very strong introspective individual, I intend on living life to the fullest, enjoying all of the experiences whether they're ups or downs.

Hi Ben, Welcome back!
Hi Ben.
In case you're not yet aware, I wanted to let you know that there's a Wisconsin group that can be found on Alopecia World: Alopecians in Wisconsin. Maybe a good group for you to join? It's a helpful way to know what's occurring in our area; hope you will join. If you need help finding us, just let me know. Susan
