I have a tendancy to base what I think people look like on their avatars.  Not that I think Slink looks like his avatar, whatever the hell that is, or that AlohaDawg is a dancing monkey, but rather that there are categories of people in my head that correspond to categories of avatars.  Goofy avatars, geeky avatars, cutesy avatars, etc.  Beyond that, how I picture people is really sort of inexplicable.

But JL, you don't look like a 50s housewife, even if your avatar does.

I've also been trying to decide if my avatar is:

a) Goofy
b) Geeky
c) Cutesy, or
d) Etc.

Maybe someone should start a poll...

As for Slink, I always pictured him as slim and tall, with sandy brown hair, fair skin, and blue eyes.

Well, OK... I'm tall (6'4"), thin (I weight about 10 and a half stone, which I think is about 140lbs, but I'm not sure of that), purple hair, fairly pale (almost anaemic), and indeed blue/grey eyes. Oh and I've got a great nose! It's the only feature I'm happy with...

I'd reckon slightly goofy 'cause of the smile, but then I think most kids look goofy. They're not my favourite thing.
I can see how you wouldn't turn out looking all Quasimodo though.

Oh, and the suit makes it!! How old were you in said picture!?

[jough]

I was 25 when that picture was taken.  I just look really young.

This is one of my favourites, too, from a year later, when I was six and a half:



And one more, of me jamming on my little guitar when I was three:



And then thirteen years later:



Note the thick-framed 80s glasses in that last one.  And the "devil's lock" of hair.  Yikes!

Plus the scarily 80's gueetar! Good to see you lost the bowlcut over the years - acceptable to kids, not beyond, unless you're like, in a Beetles revival band or some shit. And well, even then that's not all that acceptable.

[AlohaDawg]

6'4 and 147 pounds??

Slink, hold on while I upload you some butter-and-suet sandwiches...You gotta get some weight on before Sally Struthers starts showing up at your house.  No one wants that.

Groovy purple hair, though! I'd say I wanted to see a pic 'ceptin that would sound kind of like I like you which I do but not "like you" like you if you know what I mean and

never mind.

SLINK I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A PICTURE

AND I MEAN THAT IN A WAY THAT IS NOT GAY

BECAUSE I AM A LADY

Sheesh, do I have to do everything for you people?

Sheesh, OK, just for you peeps (ugh I hate photos!).
These are old though, I have no moe recent pictures. I look a whole lot better now!! And my hair doesn't come out quite as purple as it is in that picture.


and in the vain of the guitar posts



I promise you all, for my sake, and how bad I look in those pictures, if I get round to getting new pics done I will post one at some point. Since I will have short hair from, well, I would have by now but my car died and I'm waiting to sort something out so I can go get it all torn off!!

[jay-ell]

Whee!  Thank you Slink!  I didn't think you'd really do it!  What a sexy thing you are!  

Who's next?  AlohaDawg?  Asherdan?  Nabu?  Beuller?  Beuller?  Beuller?

[jough]

Slink looks pretty much exactly as I pictured him, but without the cigarette holder and monacle.

[CortJstr]

Me at Fletcher's in Bawlmer for 2001: A Punk Odyssey with Mary Prankster.

And me in front of the Leesburg, VA courthouse for International Achewood Day.

[edit: I had the links backwards.]

Cigarette Holder? Monacle? That would detract from my lovely eyes and probably take out half the necessary nicotine. I'm not sure Marlboro really work in Holders, not classy enough and all.

Whee! Thank you Slink! I didn't think you'd really do it! What a sexy thing you are!

Bah, if only! But thankyou! Kind of takes some of the terror out of posting my mug in public! Hell I tend to wear surgical masks when I go out in public afterall... well, not really, but i'd consider it if it wouldn't get me more attention than I get anyway.

Dude, seriously scary arms!!!! I think I'll have nightmares of contortionism tonight.

I would like to assert that I look nothing like my avatar, although I may very possibly look goofy.
