So, with beer in hand (disguised in a plastic Mets cup), I was walking back from the store after stocking up with pocketfuls of cigarettes (folks starting in recovery are required by law to smoke hardcore, you know), and I heard, "Hi, Chris!" in a sing-song voice from across the street. I looked over, saw a pixie-lookin' girl wearing a tie-dye shirt and looking at me, and said, "Hey!" I soon realized that I had NO IDEA who she was. We were still walking opposite directions and looking at each other. I called, "Who's that?" She yelled out, "HUH?!?" I just kind of shook my head and walked on.

That sort of thing sort of freaks me out.

I had to buy an electric shaver yesterday, for they don't allow actual razors up in the lockdown. I used it tonight. Now I know why I've never used one before: these things SUCK! I've still got whiskers like crazy, it took me probably five minutes longer than a razor does, and it didn't do any wonders for my skin. I spent forty bucks for this? I should just let it grow while I'm there, but with this patchy growth I get, they'll probably tell me look like Charles Manson with mange and make me shave.

Thank dog I didn't use it on my boys.

>>I've thought about getting an electric razor, but I'd probably clog it up with hair gunk before long. Blech.

>>And why would you? :P

Back in my long-haired weirdo days, people would remember me, but I'd forget who they were. I didn't realize how much I stood out until it happened a few times. One of these days I need to find some photos from back then.

I'm honestly not sure. Self-abuse, I guess. =)

Haha, would like to see that. I'm sure you've seen my icon from my own long-haired weirdo days!

Yeah, I had sort of a Mark Arm look. It was weird when girls would walk up to me and introduce themselves. The first time it happened I looked around to see who they were talking to. Hee.

Fer serious, dude. Let 'em ride free.

Not surprised some chick's screaming your name randomly, Mr. Local Hero.

Mani recently got an electric razor, and he's having to adjust to it. He swears you just don't get as close a shave with one. Get some Lectric Shave to put on your face beforehand, I think it makes your beard stand up or something.

Avoid stuff that stings afterwards; you'll get a razor burn like a mofo.

man, I remember letting it grow because I hated having the psyche techs looking over my shoulder while I shaved. I had this crazy monstrosity of a beard when I was done. Good luck!
