It is in fact a slightly different color, being red-ish/ginger-ish while the rest of my hair is back/dark brown. All of my hair actually has a tendency to change colors sporadically (although not suddenly, and not too extremely). When I was growing up, people would always ask my mother how she dyed my hair, when in fact it was just that way naturally. Its color-changing-ness has diminished as I've grown older, so I was surprised and a bit happy that, when I did start growing a beard, it was a different color.

It does make me hold out some hope for awesome chameleon-like abilities, though

Sweet! Thanks for the advice.

Yeah, definitely. When I was living in Otago as a kid we used to go on day trips to those places all the time. Dad had a little sailing boat that we'd go out on whatever lake was closest (e.g. Wanaka, Dunsten etc). I remember Cromwell is quite nice too.

I suck at smiling intentionally with my mouth open. I either look fake or stupid or both. Also, if you smile too broadly with your mouth closed, you just look like a retard. So I don't smile especially much for pictures.

I got all excited because I thought you were going to be in some sort of recursive sundial, but then it was all oh, he means two pictures.

I just moved all my stuff from my old computer to my new one and have been discovering all kinds of old pictures. I will post some actual pictures soon.

Okay, I understand how you pulled off most of those facial expressions. But how'd you manage this one?

But yeah, very quality phoe-toes.

I have amazing shapeshifting skillz. I can become a tapir at will. Terribly useful.

by **wocket** » Sat Jul 14, 2007 9:23 pm UTC

So I already posted my face a few pages back, but that was before I got metal shoved into my nose.

Behold, the new me:

Neither is a terribly good picture, but both are awesome (in my opinion, at least).

Just barely alive

My outfit in that picture has been described as "the ghost of a jilted lover", which I like.

by **aisling** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 5:01 am UTC

I do quite like your outfit there, VSM.

This is the most recent photo of me, it was taken just a few minutes ago.

by **Ren** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 5:21 am UTC

Awwww, aisling, you're so pretty.

And now for something completely different!

by **Dibley** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 5:26 am UTC

@ aisling

Definitely gorgeous. You look like my cousin, though.

by **liza** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 6:40 am UTC

Liking the new avatar VSM - very debonair!

Aisling should stop being so pretty/having such lovely hair/being near raptors. It's making the rest of us jealous, I tell you!

Quick! Someone photoshop an oboe into those photos! Ren looks naked without one!
On a slightly more serious note, what's your hair colour in that first photo? It looks almost purpley.

by **Ren** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 1:54 pm UTC

Yup. Good call, Somnia.

by **MFHodge** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 2:21 pm UTC

Purple-haired, fancy-dressed Ren = mmmm . . . pretty!

by **Ren** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 8:56 pm UTC

You're from Halifax! My best friend is from Halifax! That's awesome!

Re: Curling.
Curling is for *losers*

(I'm kidding, of course. That friggin' rocks.)

If you say this again in approximately 6 weeks time, I'll be able to make some stupid joke in response. But no, I must bide my time.

Being Canadian, we of course all know each other, so Ren's best friend is my cousin, and haveblue's sister dated my brother, and yeah, we're all just a bunch of happy-super-polite-igloo-living Liberals! (That sort of what you had in mind SpitValve?

)

by **PacifiKate** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 11:51 pm UTC

Yay! Faces for names!! Suddenly you all are human, and I do not fear as much the raptors!!
(Oh, wait. Those are fake pics, aren't they?)

Deception! Nooooo!

Well, I'll let you decide if I be a raptor or of the human form...

Dude, I'm a New Zealander. I pretty much _do_ know everybody here. It's literally impossible for walk around town without seeing a half dozen people that I know. So that's not the type of joke I'd make

Except for the igloo part.

Nah, I was going for the "hey, I'm in Halifax, that means I must be your best friend! awww". Except I'm not in Halifax yet, and it's not a very funny joke.

Here is my face. It is on a head which has a hat on it.

This was taken at WatSUM, the Waterloo Symposium in Undergraduate Mathematics. Both this shirt and the 'usual approach' shirt firmly established my position in the pecking order of math undergrads from across the country.

by **damienthebloody** » Tue Jul 17, 2007 6:31 am UTC

spit, when you go to halifax, promise me that you'll take up curling.
Also, ren's purple hair = win

chrispy1 wrote:Being Canadian, we of course all know each other

Oh hey there I think an old high school friend of mine once snogged your second cousin, once removed? They both got drunk at a party, had a brief, yet profoundly intense kiss, then as they both looked into each other's eyes, a moment of fear passed between them and they left immediately having now not seen each other since.

Of course, since I also curl, I've probably already met and played with/against every other Canadian curler.

by **jmrz** » Tue Jul 17, 2007 9:09 am UTC

jgcrawfo I totally know you from such forums as QC and Aurostion. I got really weirded out about which forum I was on then.

Actually they had curling in the Southland today, so I could have done it from here (after a 3 hour ferry ride and a 10 hours drive)

I think we have like one lake that freezes for a few days a year or something.

But I should try curling in Canada, should be awesome.

by **jgcrawfo** » Tue Jul 17, 2007 2:22 pm UTC

Oh, hey jmrz. I recognize the avatar which puts context on the handle, which is pretty awesome by the way.
I'm not sure if I can deal with being on three forums, that is kind of a lot, bot I am getting to be a junkie.

by **Ren** » Tue Jul 17, 2007 6:21 pm UTC

The Music Faculty puts on a Formal--dinner/partAY every year.

I don't really like dressing up, but my sister convinced me to buy that dress on the condition that I could dye my hair purple. It turned out that it matched *almost* exactly.

by **Shro** » Tue Jul 17, 2007 6:46 pm UTC

@Ren: That is SO cute! I dyed my hair with some cool reddish streaks once. I don't think it matched any of my clothes though. =P

Attentive argyl3 is attentive.

Attentive argyl3 is attentive AND pretty!

Kawa attempts to be contemplative.

Sorry for the blur. The crane is actually not that small. It's certainly not the smallest I've ever done. (I will note, however, that it is the smallest origami paper I currently own.) Perspective does weird things.

Hopefully these work. Otherwise I'll re-upload to somewhere or other. I'm sure I can figure it out.
