Gorwingel- I've seen your picture, but since you changed your avatar, I'm now picturing you with your real face and hair etc, dressed in that red dress your avatar has. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Am I the only one that thinks your avatar lady looks like she should know Squatter's fencing guy? They're from different time periods, but the absolute first thing I thought of when I saw it was "Egad! It's Squatter's avatar's wife!"

Niluial, for some reason I've suddenly started imagining you as being quite young, not sure why, it's not your posts or anything...and in my mind you're blond. But just cause of you avatar.
Oh yea I am blonde nd I am in my late teens.. so you can call that young. But I must admit I do act like a three year old [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Oh and I spell like one [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I wonder what could have given ou that impression... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] Fun? I don't know. I hope so though. Coll? If you mean cool [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] , I don't know either, and wouldn't it be rather conceited to say "yes, I am"? Age... well, you're close. I don't have pink hair, though it would be great fun, and I do have glasses but I don't wear them enough. And, strangely enough, they're sort of like the one in the picture, just thinned. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
Bekah- for some reason, I just started imagining you as having black hair and brown eyes, because I saw a photo somewhere today and I thought it looked like my idea of you. So that's you for now [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

~Menelien

Bekah 05-17-2003 03:25 AM

Send me your address and you will be corrected for life! I do not have black hair!

I'd like to have it though, only I would most definitely not suit it.

Ah well...I have some other pics of N.Z., too, apart from my own pic.

Taken by yours truly.

I would imagine Aman is referring to straight hair hanging down either side of your face (imagine early David Beckham, if you're British!) rather than what you hang at the window. I don't think I've ever seen Beren stuck until now!!!

Lossentilien 05-17-2003 08:05 AM

I kind of see Beren as...well, a llama. Wearing a big green tshirt.... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

I can't believe this is the first time I've encountered this thread... it's brilliant!

GaladrielOfTheOlden I think of as being Galadriel (surprise, surprise...)

Quote:

Meela: For another odd reson I thought you had fiery red hair and green eyes. You had freckles but not a lot. You are hyper and fun and are about 24-25. You are short, and small. And of course everyone loves you.
Great guess! I'm not going to say what i actually look like, cos I want everyone else's opinions first, so keep em coming in, people!
All I will say is I'm not short.

Arafangwen, I imagine you have hair like Eowyn's, with gorgeous blue-grey eyes. About 5' 7". About 17?
Wow! Sounds beautiful! But none of it's right [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] . Am I that difficult to figure out [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] ?!

Rynoah, the Overly Happy, I see you as a deep yet simple thinker(do you understand that?), about 5'8" or 9", beautiful shiny long brown hair, with eyes that have seen more grief that befitting for someone of your age, or any age for that matter.

Anyone else for me? I don't think I'm that hard, but that's just me [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] .

Ah..curtains. I get it. Sadly, no, I have very hobbit hair, it's quite curly.

Arafangwen 05-17-2003 12:38 PM

I was about to say that Beren! I'll guess you anyways.

Beren, I see you as a fairly tall guy in your late teens or early twenties, 5'10" or taller, curly brown hair, with knowing eyes, and freckles on your arms.

I honestly don't know where that last part came from.

The Saucepan man, I envision you as a medium height man, around 5'8" or so, brown hair, greyish brown eyes(if you understand that), and an arsanal of jokes and irony just waiting for a victim [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] .

I'm going to stop asking people to guess what I look like because it seems that none of you have even a remotely accurate guess. Unless you think you can do better [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] .

LadyElbereth 05-17-2003 01:00 PM

Whoa! I envision Child of the Seventh Age way differently than you, elven maiden Earwen!

I picture Child as a very wise woman of around sixty with beautiful white hair and a gorgeous smile! She's tall and slender and has deep crystal blue eyes.

I think theres a different name for them in America. Erm...bangs maybe?

That would be correct, though many have forsaken them altogether for longer hair. I did sometime before I was seven. Whoops! I should stop now.

Arafangwen-LOL! Phew, I was right. Im sorry, but I love guys with curtains/bangs. Especially blonde ones. Sorry...

Arafangwen 05-17-2003 02:45 PM

Oh Aman! I never said I didn't [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] . I only said most over here have forsaken that look for longer hair(the girls that is, the guys tend to spike it). I share your view! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] *eyes the phantom with intrest* [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img] [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] I do think they are rightly called curtians though.

Yes i would also think so. Here in Australia we call it 'curtians!

Amanaduial the archer 05-17-2003 02:59 PM

Curtians? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Bangs always makes me thinks of like two mini, explosion like blobs at the side of someones head. Curtains is better. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Nope, I'm not tall at all. I'm in my mid-teens (as the '87 suggests [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] . I do have curly brownish-blonde hair, but no freckles at all.

Arafangwen 05-17-2003 07:51 PM

Beren, I only just remembered you already revealed your age and that you're short. I would've posted it that way had I not been, umm, out of it shall we say. I've been on medication for almost the past week fighting pneumonia so I can't think quite straight, yesterday I told my mother she was not my mother but my Aunt Ginger(the most ironic part about that is that I don't have an Aunt Ginger). I probably shouldn't be on here at all, but I'm bored since I have to stay home, therefore I post.
Everyone,If I say anything absurd, or offensive, please forgive me, I am not "well".

GaladrieloftheOlden 05-17-2003 08:19 PM

Wow, now that you said that about Beren having 'crtains' I get these mental images of a lamma walking around with maroon velvet curtains on its forehead... that's what I change my mental image of you to, Beren. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Aman and Arafangwen, just this morning I looked out my window and saw a blonde with curtains. Oh wait, that was a mirror. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 05-17-2003 11:21 PM

*shakes head* Phantom, if you don't deflate your ego a bit, I'm afraid your head won't fit in a car much longer. That could be a severe disadvantage. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Belethfacwen 05-17-2003 11:49 PM

Squatter - Agent Smith
Lush - Cameron Diaz
TheXPhial - Trinity
Maril - A woman with brown hair, elegant wire-rimmed glasses, and a labcoat.
Diamond18 - A woman with rich dark hair in a red gown and some diamond jewelry on, laughing, with some champagne in her hand. (Elegant.)
onewhitetree - A chipmunk from that show I used to watch as a small child. ;-)
Legolas - A middle aged man with icy eyes and a serious, serene look.
The Barrow-Wight - A transparent ghost.
burrahobbit - A sensible looking old man that can shapeshift into something like his avatar whenever he feels like it.

That's all for now, that was fun indeed.

Tarien Ithil 05-18-2003 12:00 AM

Hey Beleth!

LOL! That is SO Maril! I love your choices! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

OK, I'd better stop raving now and git to da point otherwise the BW might bite my head off... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I like the Cameron Diaz-Lush idea, but I think maybe a Catherine Zeta Jones or a Liv Tyler [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Just a thought [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tarien Ithil 05-18-2003 12:03 AM

And, just to add in Nil here, [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] I see her as a blonde, blue-eyed, bubbly, high-school (o, I could go on forever) [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] girl always talking and babbling on! That's why I like her! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lol yea your right about almost everything, but I have finished High School [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] hehe [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]. Although I act like a three year old!!

Niluial 05-18-2003 12:31 AM

Tarien Ithil: Tall (ok tall for her age) and slender young high school girl! She has brown hair with brown hazel eyes with a small twinkle in them..... ok forgive me if I am wrong!! But thats how I see you!!

Gorwingel 05-18-2003 01:04 AM

Sophia, I thought that maybe people would think of me looking like my avatar now that I have changed it (but I don't mind that).

Well if Squatter's avatar is of 16th century British royalty than maybe they would know eachother. But my avatar can't be Squatter's wife because mine is a painting of a very young Elizabeth I. I chose it because she is one of my personal idols, and this is (in my opinion) the most beautiful painting of her that was ever created. I would die for the dress that she is wearing. I have actually considered many times trying to recreate it.

Sophia-Is this where you got the idea for your Mona avatar? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Yep, you're very close Nil. I'm tall, but not TOO tall, if you know what I mean [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]and yeah, I've also finished High School. I've got blue eyes and browny-blondish hair, but you were very close! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Just go back to the post where you checked the box, click on edit , uncheck that box, and finish the editing [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] ! Hope that helped!

On topic, Niluial, I also thought you were still in high school, a graduating senior mabey. There goes that idea!

Nope….. I wish I was though. Those were the fun days! I am in University studying Law and if you want to know my age you can ask me in pm for I don’t like giving out personal details… [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]. I probably come down as a fifteen year old on Barrow-Downs for I act young and sometimes.. yes childish. But Law School can get very serious and strict and I suppose this is where I have all my fun… well where all of us have our fun [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]!!!

No- I'm pretty sure his is some guy from an Olympic Fencing team, but it was just my first reaction anyway [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img].

My Mona avatar was posted by Saucepan Man on a thread in the quiz room and I thought it was hillarious so I saved it, and in a fit of boredom stuck it online and used it for an avatar. Unfortunately [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] I look nothing like her.

I don't know as that will ever happen though, seeing as my parents still think you guys are all serial killers out to kidnap us all and sacrifice our blood with that of a rabbit. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Yeah, they are crazy.
