About Me:
I have had alopecia areata off and on all my life. however since the autumn of '08 it seems to have progressed to totalis/universalis. It never really bothered me because I used to be a good looking guy but now that my eye lashes are gone and my eye brows are sparse it bothers the hell out of me....well sort of. I find having no hair on my body convenient, sensual, and at times extremely erotic though. So having no body hair is fine but not around my eyes.
I have never met another person with alopecia nor have I even talked to others with it. Not until now anyway; and it's hard for me to articulate the feelings I get from having a forum like this available to me. I'd still like to meet others with it though!
When it comes to "me" I seem to be a thinker and analyser. Maybe that is why I like gardening and hiking. The relative silence of both activities allows me to think. Besides writting the odd poem now and again and strumming a few chords on a guitar I'm not really artistic. However I'm trying to mold myself into being more artistic by taking soap stone carving and body casting classes. I enjoy all types of music. If I "had" to classify my musical tastes I'd say I like classic rock best, followed by alternative rock then world music mainly from Africa, South America, Spain, and France. I don't understand them but the beat, tempo, and singing are fantastic. I also like some rap/hiphop, reggae, trance, pop, and jazz.
I have a small tatoo on my forearm and I like partying as much as the next person. A friend recently asked me if I was going to celebrate my birthday in "TRUE Jimmy fashion"; I had to laugh. But sometimes I like doing nothing, you know? Maybe just reading a book, watching tv, or just hanging with the people I love; friends and family.
I love animals. I have 2 large breed dogs but I used to have 3.
I like travelling but I don't really get the opportunity to travel that often.
I'm in a long term relationship and have 2 young boys. I used to have the type of hazel eyes that draws one in but now with no lashes and sparse brows I feel like a bit of a goof sometimes. I know all the psychobable about holding your head high and you are who you are, and I am as confident as the next guy, but I still feel strange sometimes. I think It's because I don't see myself this way, you know? Reading some of your profiles I can sense the confidence, intelligence, and true beauty that you have and I think that is something to be respected.
Do you have alopecia?
Alopecia universalis
Are you age 18 or older?
Yes - I am 18 or older
