Well, you can call me Roger, since that's my name. =) When I was little, I couldn't wait until I grew up so I could be Mister Anderson, just like my dad. I thought it sounded great even before The Matrix made it popular.
About a year and a half ago, I noticed that there were a few spots on my head, which I shaved every day anyway, that didn't seem to have have any stubble on them at the end of the day. Then, I noticed that after I showered, the drain was plugged with hair. Which just does NOT happen when you keep your head shaved. One day I came home from work, looked in the mirror, and half of one of my eyebrows was missing. I stood there, looking around in the sink and on the floor like I'd find it laying there. (No joke.) I thought "maybe I got some sort of chemical burn" or "did I rub it off?" and a lot of "WTF...where did my eyebrow go???" It wasn't long before all the facial and body hair was gone.
I did some research, found out about Alopecia, went to the doctor, he took one look at me and said "you have Alopecia." The probable cause is stress, I'd been under a lot of it for the last few years.
Hmmm....that's all I can think of right now. With out getting too boring. Feel free to go to my MySpace and send me an invite. If you do, I promise to send you lots of funny cat pictures!
