Very nice. Ah...to be young again when colouring one's hair doesn't cause an office panic/expulsion nor calls for an exorcism.

Is that a fly in the upper corner that you're trying to catch?

Lhunardawen, nice. Note that, being me, I see a person whose head can spin round like an owl...which is a little creepy.

I'm not sure youth applies... I've spent the past two days with my father's voice in my head asking "And just who do you expect to hire you looking like some dumb punk kid? I certainly wouldn't have you working for me."

Is that a fly in the upper corner that you're trying to catch?

But of course.

You're sweet. But that's because the photo's too small to show it, I now realise.

There's a certain trick to it. I could teach you, if you like.

Fea, you amazingly manage to look good in anything.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Thanks for the inlightentment Hookbill, now I just need to cut my hair, let my beard grow, gain a few pounds and then use that die. . . .

Of course I would have to stay away from fea as well, otherwise I would steal her thunder.

[Folwren]

Eh, er...hm...I will refrain from any comments.

But, tell me, seriously - why can't people be satisfied with natural hair colors??

I love it. I've seen people wearing similar shades, and am so envious.

I love my haircolor - but would love to try something different, just once, because I love color so much.

[Durelin]

Satisfied, sure. But why not have fun with it; it's just hair?

Love it, Fea...it reminds me of when my friend dyed hers a sort of dark turquoise recently, and I was surprised how good it looked... I’m now considering that colour myself. XD

Do you know what sort of dye she used? I'd love to play with shades of blue...

Since it's been a while, here's a rather recent (2 days ago) photo of me. You can even see my guitar on my bed in the background! My flat cap is about in the bottom left corner, see if you can spot it.

If you mean teaching me how to look like picture #2, (1) I can look haggard without any assistance (it's genetic), or (2) if you hadn't noticed, there's no way with my current hair style that I'd ever be able to accomplish said feat, regardless of training (and long hair takes up time that I'd rather use drinking coffee) or (3) learning to spin my head completely around might sound like a good thing, but, as a parent, sometimes it's better not to turn around and to just keep walking.


Fea, I'm reminded of the commercial for those little teeny breath mints where the woman juggles a bunch on her tongue. Your picture could be inserted in the last 5 seconds of the ad with the tag line, "Now in pink lemonade!"

If I were you, I'd be sending your photo now. And when you make it big, just now and then remember us little people.

[Mithalwen]

I spray coloured my hair pink for a Breast Cancer fund raiser. It was fabulous.... made me feel so happy. Wish I had done it when I was at college and it didn't matter .... but a girl in the office I am now has pink streaks ... but she is a lot younger

Oh, but it so comes in handy for surprise pictorials. Even planned ones, come to think of that.

I'm suddenly reminded of this Calvin and Hobbes cartoon - Calvin's dad pretended that a disembodied hand (his own under his shirt, actually) was trying to strangle him, just as he was about to tell Calvin a bedtime story about it. The poor boy dropped asleep promptly.

Before the chat skwerlz come out to get me, let me say that a second look at that photo makes me think that Fea's trying to reach her nose with her tongue, but doing it wrongly somewhere. Maybe her eyes should be looking down instead of up.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Well, I've thought of posting this. I went to the Doctor Who museum in Blackpool recently and I got a photo or two that I'll share with you Downers here.

[Bêthberry]

Gosh, scrolling back I find I missed alot.

Hook, I am green with envy (not that we aren't all already green here anyway)--a Doctor Who museum!!! Do the proceeds go towards paying for better sets and special effects? Did you get to cosy up to any of the companions?

al, I see that the tye dye colours were omitted this year. Nice variation and do you always manage to get your kids to line up that way for dinner or do they do that just for the photographer?

morm, you've got yourself a bunch of sweeties and I love your pink shirt.

I can't think of anything to say to Knight of Ni, er, ah, Gondor and Sleepy Ranger and TM, so I'll leave it at 'keemo sabe' (and that's a real trademark) until I know you better.

Actually, I had thought that it was Ancalagon from chat who reminded me of Matthew McConaughey, esp because of the dragons in "Reign of Fire." You don't suppose that oblo and anca are doppelgangers do you? Do virtual doppelgangers exist? Maybe they've cancelled each other out and that's why they're not in chat?

Di, I really like those set of pictures...you look very nice. Also, I look forward to seeing your real tattoo, when you do get it.

Speaking of tattoos, about time I show off mine, which I've had for over a month. The other pics are of me after I had my hair remodeled:

[Oddwen]

I have a few pictures that I took a few weeks ago and am fairly happy with - thought blast them 'round the graveyard.

Here and Here.

Also, here are some cute duckies.

[Orominuialwen]

Although this picture is rapidly approaching one year old, it's still much more accurate (and flattering!) than the last one I posted of myself. It was taken by my best friend's aunt last fall for my senior picture. Unfortunately, it got lost after I submitted it for the yearbook, so I ended up with the picture from my ID card in there instead.

[Thinlómien]

This summer I was in Berlin and I saw penguins there.

That's not a particularly good picture of me, but the penguins are, of course, the main thing. (Though, I see, my sister failed to zoom at them... )

My favorite of those was the one where you looked like the apathetic model...

I really like that picture. Wasn't it your Facebook default for a while?

There couldn't be a more fitting backdrop for your picture. Also, your expression says, "I'm a wolf and nobody knows it!"

That's not a bad idea actually, I'll keep it in mind. I'm getting a real rose tattoo sometime this month (that's the plan anyway). Then, a cat, and then, Daffy, then a map of Middle-earth all over my back and a Silmaril on my stomach. You may decide for yourself where I stopped being serious there.

I don't think I've seen that third one before, it's cute!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Lommy, I'm definitely using that for a Newspaper.

I think the proceeds go towards building a TARDIS for Rustle T Davis to use and bring back all the old Doctors for some random reason.
