as a bonus my mother has a photo of me as a stupid teenager after i spent the money i was supposed to use for a haircut on getting my hair dyed forest green
at least my teenage rebel phase only lasted a couple hours because i immediately regretted giving myself clown hair

if you can get it long enough taht you can use a tie to do a man-knot/tied ponytail, it looks sexy on guys. but yeah the transition period where it's like poofing out around your ears an dsticking off weirdly to the side long but not long enough to be able to do anything with, that's the awkward part and takes awhile to get past.. you should probably trim the bit of hair near your sideburns infront of your ear with scissors as that part can get ridiculous

in that period you can still look sexy if you slick it back like an 80s corporate raider.

i already alluded to this, but since it is cool and predates a lot of jokes:

byte is an intentional misspelling of bite (to keep it from being confused with bit). comes from an old ibm computer where instructions had a target address and a 'bite', where the bite indicate how many bits to operate on at that address (e.g. LOAD(0x1F1,3) to load 3 bits from 0x1F1). 8 was the maximum number of bits you could bite, and that became the fixed standard.
