I don't remember anything horrible about your face, Enny. At the most, I think that you might have the problem I have -- that with long hair and no facial hair, you kinda look like a girl. But that's not really a problem. Bishonen seem to be pretty popular.

[Kiahdaj]

I had upper-back-length hair for several years when I was younger, and I was pretty insecure about the way I looked, at the time. I have long since began cutting my hair shorter, and I definitely feel that I look significantly better. I know that is in part due to simply looking better as I aged, but I think that my hair has a lot to do with it. Some people just can't pull off long hair, I guess. Also my biggest mistake was probably not cutting it in any decent style.

 

Anyway, it's certainly worth a shot, if you're concerned with your appearance. You can always grow it back, if you don't like it. And it can only be so much worse, huh? At least you won't have people calling you a hippy and telling you to cut it all the time.

I have no clue what a bishonen is, but I agree with the facial hair bit. The day I can grow a proper beard and mustache is the day I will rejoice ;-;

 

And Kiahdaj, you continue to make me wonder how old you are.

 

I don't get much of the hippy thing around here, as "queer" from literally everyone that isn't my friend or in my direct family (Though even they have accused me of being gay more than once). You know! Arkansas things!

 

And now that you mention styling, I don't even know. For the past like, eight years, nothing's been done to it. I just let it grow however it wants, which is usually parted to the left and above the eye, and when I cut it (As many as sixteen inches at a time, as per last time! It was mid-back..), that's it. They just make it shorter. Well, my mom does. We don't really have many stylists around here, and I will never, ever trust any of the ones we do have not to make me look like a fucking idiot. So I'm at an impasse, I guess.

 

Idunno. I'll post a pic of myself later, I guess. What's the worst advice a bunch of strangers on the internet can give me, amirite?

 

EDIT: I took like, six-hundred pics of myself and guess this one is alright. Weird strand of hair over the eye thing..

 

Cough.

Bishonen means something like "beautiful boy", I believe. It's a character type seen in anime -- the long-haired, slender, almost feminine, young man with flocks of fangirls who write really bad fanfics about him.

 

I used to get "hippie" and "queer" and on occasion "princess".

 

But yeah, I don't really have any advice. I eventually got tired of comments like that, so I grew my beard out. Then I got tired of not being able to wash my hair when I was sleeping in the store where I worked, so I shaved it all off. And I've pretty much had short hair and a beard since then.

[Kiahdaj]

I guess that goes to show how often I type the word 'hippie'. Thanks, sushi.

 

Anyway, I was actually never called gay for my hair, so that's interesting. Because it's definitely not a "gay" thing to have really long hair, as far as I know. At least hippie makes sense.

 

And Enny, I don't see anything wrong with your face, either. Now I'm just starting to think that you might actually look better with long hair. I think you could pull off shorter hair just fine, but I think the long hair actually suits you.

[Dracky]

Used to have shoulder-length, curly hair. Had a couple of people call me "Goldilocks", but aside from that, I didn't really get many negative comments about it. Got tired of taking care of it and buzzed it off.

 

And Enny, you look pretty cool with the long hair. You look like you should be in a band.

[Quetzal the furdragon]

Any point on the ears? A particular rhythm, harshness or technique?

 

( curious )

 

Conversation has since changed, but I don't care, fuck you all I'm a dragon

 

The base is really nice, and I love someone rubbing the balls of their thumbs back and forth across them. Oh god. OH GOOOD YESSS

[Guest]

If Bishonen has any ties to modern anime it needs to die in a fire and pls don't associate the term with me pls, thx.

 

Thanks for the positive reinforcement I guess, guys. I'm wired to think you're lying to me, but I'll try and take the compliment. It'd be nice if people I know in real life, or like, a single woman ever could say the same about me, aha. But for all it's worth, yeah, thanks.

 

I've never been in a band, Dracky, oddly enough. I wanted to learn the drums when I was younger, and probably could have, but my resolve towards literally everything has always been nothing but disappointing, all my life. I'd like to purchase a keyboard sometime in the next year or so and learn that, but who knows? I'll probably just regret it in a few months. I was doing alright with learning a borrowed one a while back, and think actually paying for one would do me well, but I don't know.

 

 

More topic-change I guess, I've always had a lisp. Not like, thith kind of lithp, but a kinda, idunno, my S sounds slur, and sound weird. It's annoying. I just took note, and took my mic into audacity to start listening to myself speak, because I'm starting to become aware of how I sound in Skype calls, aha. Anyone else have an issue with lisps? I actually form my S's in three different ways, randomly, and none of them sound remotely correct to others, so I'm at a loss. People will explain the correct way to me, and I'll do what they're describing, and apparently it's still wrong. It's annoying, and just makes me even more worried when speaking to people, aha. I mean, I don't think about it most of the time I guess, and people don't typically comment on it, but man, as soon as I become aware of it, it's all downhill.

 

I'm told by a friend online that I have a pretty good voice, which is nice to hear, then he's like "..but that lisp" and it's just like awww ;-;

 

Yeah, anyone else?

[TheSanctuary]

Not with the lisp per say but a few of my friends have issues with v's for some reason- have a friend for example that always says thery instead of 'very'. Also know one person who can only say hippopopamus - no matter how many times I get them to say it slowly correctly-

 

The brain. How does it work? Oh there's an interesting question - are you at the stage of possession? If so does your tupper' have the same speech pattern?

 

Just to add to the appearance notes - your fine and I sympathise with your plight sir. I had zero female interest for the first 18 years then suddenly several appeared literally within a month. Don't worry so much you do indeed have the band member look goin for ya.

That seems pretty absurd, and funny to me, haha.

I'll keep it brief and say that I can't possess, have no clue whether or not my tupper shares literally any trait with me, and if you have any other questions regarding Peaches, to refer to my PR before asking because you can probably answer literally anything yourself just by looking at the last post.

Another thanks, I guess. Maybe some day, huh.

 

Anyway, I'll get this damned impediment fixed some day. Probably. Maybe not, but I can hope :l
