How do you imagine other BDers

[Fordim Hedgethistle]

SoN -- Hmm, according to your description of me, I sound like the love child of Beorn and a wandering hobbit lass. I've been called worse.

You also stated, however:

he may wear glasses (but probably doesn't, except for reading), and always dresses like a friendly professor: slacks and hiking boots or loafers, a collared tee shirt with pens in the breast pocket, and a gold (-colored) watch.

Now, I am not given to vanity, but this is not the first post in this thread that has me portrayed as an academic fashion-disaster -- so to clear this up. . .

I do wear glasses, reading or no, but they are funky, German-retro inspired affairs with thin wire, purple frames; they are roughly rectangular.

I never wear "slacks" or "loafers" or tweed or collared tees, and I do not have pens in my pocket. I don't wear a watch. I wear jeans (Loose or Comfortable fit Levis or *horrors* Gap). I wear tee-shirts or, during the winter, long sleeve sporty shirts (pullovers, no collars). My feet are almost always clad in Adidas gazelles -- either my beloved black gazelles or, sometimes, the red. I also have a well-worn pair of Doc Marten's that I have loved almost to death. I do wear hiking boots, when I'm hiking.

My hair is black and I wear it long -- yes, I'm an Elf of the Noldor. Well, not quite, I used to wear it long but recently it has come back a bit and is only shoulder length. I am not tall, sadly, coming in around 175 cm on a good day.

So there! Harumph!

By the way, you Son of Numenor are of average height and build. You have brown hair and may wear a neatly-trimmed beard (but I don't think so). You need glasses but refuse to get any. You are square-jawed and very handsome. Your eyes are dark. You have hairy knuckles (sorry).
