Character Images

here goes.

Jay. When I very first joined, I thought Jay was a guy [Jay's a pretty common guy's name here] I was pretty glad it turned out she wasn't, because every guy I've ever met named Jay has turned out to be a jerk. [And jay is not :)] Jay .. I picture her with dark brown hair and eyes [no idea why]. She's the sort of person... you'd meet her at a party, sit down and start a conversation, and when you stand up again you realise she knows your whole life story. I can't imagine the amount of blackmailable crap she must've accrued about people... she's a great listener, and somebody you can tell would be a really great friend. The sort of person who'd put aside all her own problems to help you out with yours. For somebody so crazy, she'd make a really great psychiatrist. That is, if she doesn't go nuts from reading all the crap I write to her. :D She's really friendly, and I think she gave just about everybody here their first pm. [well, technically I gave myself my first pm. But Jay was a close second. :D]

Koa. The person I'm proud to call my forum sister. She's the sort of person who'd look kind of bored and lonely sitting in a bar surrounded by people, staring at her drink as if it holds the meaning of life. But at home with a couple of close friends, you couldn't shut her up even if you wanted to. She's nice, but by no means a pushover, stronger than she seems. If you met her, you'd probably think she was some nice, quiet little nothing, and you'd be dead wrong. My favourite thing about koa is that she's not afraid to admit her own humanity.

shea. shea is the sort of person.... you'd see her holding a book and say 'hey! I ALWAYS wanted to read that book!' And she'd say 'really? here. have it.' Just like that. She's the sort of person who'd spend a Saturday afternoon baking cookies, and I'm real jealous of that, because my cookies are inedible. She's so nice it's suspicious, I wonder if she's had a past as a bankrobber or something. :)

psychojones is new, and looking for somebody to analyse him. :) He's incredibly kind, and seems like another left-brain. :) We should run around posting up calc equations to scare all these creative people. :D Definately no competition for the title of 'forum psycho' tho' we seem to think on similar wavelengths, so he must be a little crazy. :)

ihrocks is by far the most sagacious person at the whole forum. I love to read her posts because they're so well thought out, I wish she was here more often.

sindhu has a real passion for literature. She's the sort of person.. I'd sit around on the first day of school and say 'I really hope I get sindhu for English! she's the best!' [if she teaches highschool english. I can also picture her as being one of these slightly eccentric, humourous academics] I bet she's a good cook. I don't know why.

abdo. abdo's an enigma. Just when you think you've got him pinned down, he'll turn around and do something totally unexpected. An intelligent person who'll behave like the biggest idiot, a nice guy who'll write like a total arse, and a person who claims not to read, yet hangs around in literature forums. makes things a little more surreal, makes you feel inclined to start the sentence 'you think you know a guy....' in other words, a total weirdo. :) I'll miss seeing him here.

My first guess: Female (both of them), around 17-20 (both of them)
Fact: I guess I’m right
I suppose both of them are the kind of girls who are popular in schools. Pretty, very smart, funny, easy going, and cheerfull as well. Kinda remind me of those gals who made me sing "why can't I be you" when I was still in high school. Popular like Britney Spears…with a brain of course. (Don’t get angry Faye, it really is a compliment)!

[. [/B]

Dead wrong :D (talking 'bout me, wont say anything about Faye).
I'm older than 20, and never been popular. On the contrary, I was the fat ugly one everyone made fun of, and that affected my self-esteem quite a lot. In the last years of school I was actaully very popular among my little group of friends, the ones that know me really well and are my best friends still now. I've always wished I was anyone but myself :D

Aww that's me. Going out depresses me to tears, but at home with friends noone can stop me!!! That's what I like most, not damn nights at a smokey pub surrounded by idiots...

Back on the guesses, I don't know why but I'd say crisaor is 24...:rolleyes:

Hey sub, I am 17. Pretty good guess in the age department, maybe the embarrasment comes from asociation.:D

Koa, you remind me of a photographer for national geographic, I bet your pretty skilled at what you set your mind to.

Sub, Your pretty cool, probably early twenties, with an unique perspective on life. When you know what you want, you get it. I bet your going for or have a phd.

Faye, yoy are like my sister witty smart and willing to slap one upside the head for the fun of it. I believe that you like life, and tke things as they come.

Fool, If I dind't already know that he was in high school, I would say he is an old-school hippie. He's pretty cool and accepting.

You are pretty well correct on all counts, faye-with one MAJOR Exception- I'm not a good cook! Fact is, Making a just about tolerable cup of coffee is about my limit! Rest of the time, if I don't have nice people around, willing to feed me, it's cornflakes and instant noodles perpetually! Sigh- especially since I have a hearty appetite!:)
I'd Looove to have you in any class of mine, BTW!

And sub.. you call me ma'am once more I'll... I'll... I don't know WHAT I'll do!:D

I am the anti-Spears. :D

Fact: Sindhu told me that Isagel is a she, much older than 20.
I really like her posts, which are constructive and interesting to read. I don’t really notice her artictic side in the forum, and yet everyone here said that she’s an excellent artist, so I must be missing something important here :(. I'll be more attentive from now on

[. [/B]

Hey! I´m not that much older...I´m not even 30. Young people these days..no respect... Hrmph.

I´m really glad you like my posts. I wonder what it is that make us see people as male or female on forums? In your case it was mostly the Thom yourke picture. I did not know who he was, and so I thought it was a picture of you :-).

Don ´t worry about the "artist" thing ... The people writing it are being very nice. Sometimes I write poetry.

IWilKiku: Jay Gatsby, stretching out his arms, gazing fixedly across the bay at the green light above Daisy's dock, and thinking how its really two green lights and they both look like 36DD's.

Fayefaye: An extraordinary mind encased in an ordinary heart.

Den: Zoltan the Squirrel's best mate, snuggling in for winter in her nest, occasionally peering out onto the world to see what the day has to offer.:)

Crisaor: Grunewald painting the Crucifixion http://www.eldritchpress.org/jkh/gr5.html

Amuse: An echoing voice resonating through a tunnel of distortion all the way to Nordstrand. On a bad day. On a good day, a broad expanse of endless sky.

Fact: So far I’m sure about the male thing, but I don’t know about his age.
Intelligent, very nice and friendly. I like him cause he’s not only good at books but also in music. I suppose he’s the kind of person that people like to hang out with, cause he knows lots of interesting and fun stuffs to tell.[/B]

LOL!! Thats my favorite yet!

and on THAT note, :p :D this thread's back!

It's interesting that VBD's second post is on this thread.

Here's how I've pictured Kik and will always do no matter how wrong I know I am:

http://www.mtv.com/news/photos/s/sim...ages/flip2.jpg

^ 20-ish, happy-go-lucky, friendly, a prankster, fun...

Here's how I had been picturing emily until I saw her actual picture:

http://madstop.org/moonhaus/girl.gif

I definetly pictured kik as that too, but not emily that way. As for you ajoe, I see a little kid that climbs too far up into a tree and falls down and scrapes a knee, then a few minutes later finds a taller scarier tree, but is laughing all the while.

fayefaye but with her hair tied in a bun and less racy:

verybaddmom: (without the gun)

http://www.nicocityhunter.com/persos...bloodymary.JPG

Do you guys think I need to start imagining people in a more realistic way?

Koa: (you know how I associated your name with Koala and koalas have two ears..? thus this image...)

http://wholesale.animegamers.com/com...ko-company.jpg

No way, these black and white cartoons work well along with the comments of without and but with. ajoe stay in your world.

Isagel: (who reminds me of someone I know and thus shows up an actual human being)

http://www.msstate.edu/dept/biochemi...avis,jenny.jpg

simon: (petite, somewhat bitter, not a big smiler)

http://pobladores.lycos.es/data/pobl...81hatoko07.gif http://www.pack.clara.co.uk/albc/graphics/voice/05c.gif

I'll do the rest later cause my computer has slowed down due to a massive attack of pop-ups. Seriously, who invented this thing?? :mad: :mad: :mad:

The only problem is the socks match, I'm all smiles.

Are you all smiling because your socks match or you all smiling is one of the problems? :confused:

I am smiling because I am happy.

Oh my GOD, what is that from? Something on TV. I feel like it's a cartoon. Ugh! I hate it when memories are just out of reach. I'm getting Lain, Sakura from Silent Mobius, the Last Unicorn, all of which I know are wrong. But it's said in that kind of voice...nrr.

By the way, Simon, I always imagine your voice as Lain's (Serial Experiment Lain). But more down-to-earth...not like when she goes, "Wha? What...is...happening..."

As for images, I don't really picture anyone here. Not in a way that I can describe. More like an ectoplasmic form with hair in the back of my mind.
I have always felt like Az was small, with shoulder-length hair, possibly braided, pulled back in a big bun.
And VB, before I saw your picture, I thought you had long hair and wore purple lipstick. I don't know why. :p
AP I think is tall with dark hair, but that used to be a bit darker.
Den, Kik, and Simon (from your discription), I knew how you guys looked before I could form my own image, so... you look like you. :D
Crisaor, I think of as a soccer player, because of the Maridona thread.

is simon a girl???

Yep. She said so, too, on the Voices thread.

oops...didnt pay much attention to that one cos was busy and there was too much to follow :D

amuse: (I can't picture you as a girl yet, but when I think of amuse, I get Father Time from Histeria)

edit: blech, I hate geocities and angelfire cause they don't allow direct linking; oh, well, just copy the link, open another browser, and paste it there (the image won't show if you click the link)

imthefoolonthehill: (cynical in an adorable way)

http://dky.nease.net/xfile/hikaru%20no%20go/mitani.jpg

OMG, that's perfect! Perfect Fool face. :D That's kind of the way I picture him too. That's his "you-just-hit-me-with-a-zinger-but-I'm-resisting-my-own-force-of-insight" face.

fool is soo cute! like a cranky puppy!

um, ajoe: it's not appearing. lol re: gender. i guess father time is the best, best male to be! :) :D

It should appear. Like I said, copy the link above, open another browser, paste the link there and click enter. I picture you as him meditating, btw. :cool:

ahhhhh...

!!! :)
