She probably weighs 115 and a sz 2, it's the dress.

Frak.

F$#k you very much.

And you as well, you ironic hipster-with-a-size-2-girlfriend bastard.

...
Now you're all pissing me off. I envy you all more than you will ever know!!!!!

Here's the kicker - as with the Grim Reaper, I knew this day would arrive. Still, seeing it happen in front of my eyes, it still stings to see it.

My social life is killing me.

I love my friends and I love London, but most of the socializing here is done with copious amounts of booze. Now I've always been one who more than likes his drink, but between getting older and somehow packing out my social calender it seems like I am perpetually hovering between intoxicated and hung over.

If I were to find out I was going bald like Thomas it might make me snap

Yes, thick hair can actually be extremely annoying because nothing ever really stays in place, and if you hate using products, it can be a *****.

I'm not particularly against using product but when I'm just at home, a headband or something of the sort will usually suffice.

A brah not a bro.

one of my own - the neighbor below me who keeps playing his stereo incredibly quiet, but just with the bass all the way up. I cant hear a single note of music, just the bass thumping my floor. I work from home all day and usually its not too bad, but even my boss said something when we were on the phone earlier. Problem is that I am an asshole, and I will turn something obnoxious all the way up and leave the house for a couple of hours. at 3am.

Thomas, aren't you older, successful-ish, and married? Seems to me that most of the negatives of hair loss aren't a factor at your age.

That depends on how you define older (late 30's), yes-ish, and yes. But then again, I don't identify with being late 30's - I still feel younger, and think I look younger, but I think the late-30"look" is hard to pin down anyway, except that I have a relatively lean and still-unlined face which seems young to me.

It was just - that picture. I mean, it looked like my hairline started at the North Freaking Pole. I thought...surely that's a trick of the lighting!!?!? Ehhh, not so much, old boy...

The other thing, the deep dark, seedy underbelly of it all (besides the vanity) is that I always identified a certain 'point of no return'. Let's say Mrs. Thomas leaves me, or I leave her, or whatever. How appealing am I now, now that I have noticeably moved even further away from Keanu Reeves and significantly closer to Abe ******* Vigoda on the hawtness scale.

It's like...I'd better hurry up and trade you in before the trade window closes. And, before anyone works up a sense of (understandable) outrage over this, I would like to mention that Mrs. Thomas and I have traded this sort of banter in the past, on both sides of the fence. There's no foreshadowing or mysogyny going on here, just some Proustian remembrances of hairlines past.
