Crayola...

Quote:
Actually sounds like a real artistic conception of ancient Egypt to me! Perhaps it is the name! Strangely enough, I always imagine The Ka as a younger version of me, the same drive to be weird and creative and all! My memory is hazy after that...probably Ka is pulling it off better than I did!
(Quote by Lyta, the forgetful artisian)

I like yours and earlier descriptions...I think I'll keep them. And you are right on about memory, friends mock me as an elephant...I don't like it though. I really don't have a drive to be 'different', I think society just doesn't like quiet people who memorize the colours of crayola*...


* Besides disease and medical maladies, I used to try to remember the colours off of the sides of crayons... It's easier then to find them again when they've gone missing in the bottom of the art bin.

From Eomer of the Rohirrim:

So as to make this post slightly relevant, I imagine Lyta as the wearer of frilly pink dresses. Elennar is apparently not: she was my first guess. And we all know that the Downs must have a wearer of frilly pink dresses.
Even though I've seen a number of pictures of Lush, I still suspect her of being our wearer of frilly pink dresses.


From the phantom:
Quote:
Grrr... that means you're cuter than I am. Curse you, Fordim.
Oh, I suppose quite a few people are, Phantom... *angelic*

I can't help but imagine Squatter in birkenstocks.

Mithalwen is tall and grey-eyed like a proper elf, and not at all blonde or anemic like PJ's version.

littlemanpoet dresses like a medieval bard. Must be the avatar influencing that one...

Tall - yes

Grey eyes - hmmm yes - ish but very light coloured greeny-grey - sounds a bit like gollum! Generally a bit short of pigment so I am pale but not anaemic looking - normally have a bit of colour....

blonde - sometimes but not that blonde..... well only when ~I was a toddler - then I got darker and rustier ending up almost Titian - now ... well I started going grey at about 17 and so now it is what ever takes my fancy on the red-gold continuum.... usually redder in the winter ..blonder in the summer.....

If I didn't work in places that tend to have a strict dress codes I would dye it pink. I did it temporarily a year ago for a "pretty in pink" charity day and I loved it (and I won a bottle of champagne). But I am not the wearer of pink frilly dresses. I do wear pink, but usually with black. I am not a frilly person. And I would look like a big pink meringue. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

Mithalwen, that Neil Oliver chap certainly has a better tan than I do.

*Eomer shivers in the Scottish frost*

But it's certainly not the worst likeness of me. Though it is true I look a lot younger. And my hair is curly and a lot messier - in a stylish way of course!

Isn't that right Biff?

I think Lush is a more reasonable suspect for the role of pink frilly dress wearer! At least I'm pretty sure she has worn a dress more recently than I have! (and I was just kidding about the Princess Leia dress--I don't have one. )It would have to have cargo pockets if I were to wear it though! I absolutely HATE carrying a purse!

Quote:
Eomer: Everyone imagines me as blonde. I am thinking about dying it for a laugh...
Oddly enough, I still often see Karl Urban as dark haired, having gotten used to him as Julius Caesar in Xena: Warrior Princess long before LOTR! (Incidentally, I still call Marton Csokas "Borias" for the same reason. Same accent, too!)

At least you have an art bin! I couldn't find an art bin in here if I had ten people looking! I spent my childhood memorizing Spock's serial number, the order, title and number of all the Star Trek episodes, the fact that Walter Koenig (Chekov) was first generation Lithuanian, that Kirk and Spock were both Jewish, that Leonard Nimoy picked up the "Live Long and Prosper" hand gesture from surrepitiously observing Jewish rituals, that there's a reason Mr. Sulu was born in San Francisco...etc.etc. , but that's neither here nor there! (I just wanted to show off...)

How do you type on a keyboard without opposable thumbs? Or is your keyboard simply a couple of paw-shaped keys and a mind-reading circuit?

Quote:
narfforc: I drink orc-brew in the form of Theakstons Old Peculiar, this aids my imagination when I find a mirror and see Aragorn staring back at me (I do have to drink quite a bit of it to get that result though).
Interestingly enough, I had to do this with various other concoctions in order to determine I looked like Carrie Fisher! I always wake up looking like Janeane Garofalo, though... *snerk* Maybe you are a Dun-Uruk? (is that a word?)

And for my final entry and to make this post relevant at all, was is mark12_30 who put the jawa image in my head? Because now I can't see The Phantom as anything else!

Cheers!
Lyta

P.S. Ka, I noticed you had changed your avatar again...is it an identity crisis, or were there simply "too many notes?" heh heh...I've watched "Amadeus" probably 75 times! Cheers!
