I've been posting here as "dude" since around February this year. At the time, I wanted to be completely anonymous. But now I don't. So I signed up and got an avatar and stuff. You might recognise me (I've posted a few pictures), but it's unlikely. If you click on my avatar it will link to my MySpace profile.
This is a great forum. Great people, too. This makes sense, because long hair generally goes with free thinking, liberalism, rock and metal, etc.
Might as well formally introduce myself. I'm 16, and I live in Newtown, Pennsylvania, US, a suburb of Philadelphia and Trenton. My last haircut was in April 2005. So that's around 15 months. It was about 3 inches long then, though, so I guess you could say I have about 21 months of growth. My goal is... as long as I can grow it. Well, really I want it well below the shoulders.
I like classic rock, progressive rock/metal, and glam rock. I started playing bass guitar recently. It's something I definitely think I'm going to stick with. I've been playing a Fender Squier bass guitar that my sister gave me. She used to play guitar and bass guitar, but only for a couple years, a few years ago. So recently she said she doesn't want her guitars anymore and that I can have them. Bass guitar is definitely a fun instrument to play.
And I'm a cat person. I like cats. A lot. I have two of them (and two dogs).
Okay, I'm done.
Welcome, dude! I mean, Jake! Actually, you've been on this board longer than I, so it makes no sense for me to welcome you, now does it?
Anyway, your hair looks great!
peace,

Welcome again Jake, glad you feel that way and your hair is looking superb.
I also love progressive rock and my favourite band is an english one called Pendragon.
Take care.
I actually remember the name "dude", it was for a hair update, and it looked great by the way. Anyways, welcome to the board.

Duuuuuude! Er, uhm, JAKE, I mean. Good goin'! I, my(s)elf, began the longstanding, devoted goal of hair farming at fifteen, my sophomore year. Two years later (drats! I wish I could find a snapshot from back then!), it reached my shoulders. The longest I've ever had it, though, was nearly a foot & a half long. Cut it, thoughtlessly, two years ago, for no other reason than being in an inappropriate-for-me relationship. Wehyullll, that's all in the remote past, fortunately, and I'm once again regrowing it. They say that hair grows a half a foot a year. It varies, though, from one individual to the next. Mine's faster growing. Anyway, ya look great & lotsa continued good results!
Best hirsute regards,
Anadae
Hi Jake, welcome to the forum (again!)
