Boots To the Cofused...

ok, sorry this is out of place but, if you are wondering who in the name of Tolkien is "Jareth" follow this link:

www.ealasaid.com/fan/shrine/jareth.html It gives an analysis!

thank you.

Question Describing an Random Title

Quote:
Funny you should say that about Feanor, Morai. I imagine him the same way.
It's amazing (and occasionally scary) what my muses can think up.
Quote:
I can think of one important difference between your image of me, and Morai's.
Hehehe....nothing like mixups in gender to brighten up my foggy day.

Anyway here's another:
The Ka: I see you as a person that walks around in a whiteish/gray cloak. You have platinium blonde hair and icy blue eyes. The hair is usually spiked and on occasion you put red tips on them. Your silent-brooding personality sometimes frightens people, but once they get to know you they like you a lot.

I wonder if I am too mysterious for people to guess about me.

THE Ka I can't help imagining as Eowyn, ever since Oddwen's little crazy scene starring Eowyn as Ka and Arwen as me. Except, Ka doesn't have such tidy hair.

Wish i could come over and paint a big old Jareth in for you... to make you feel better.
Heh. Actually, I've got a big empty wall I need to do something with...probably just LotR posters and such, since I have very little artistic talent for anything looking remotely realistic...I'm just good at designing jewelry! (and making it...but what I make is never as good as my designs...why does copper have to be so hard to work with?)

Oh, and I have my closet back. But still no door...

Quote:

Bowie! It's Bowie! *throws glitter*
I'd come over and watch 'em with you if I could...but you don't exactly live within walking distance...there's the little obstacle of an ocean...

I did that in the hall today...loudly...with my Labyrinth-fan friend who's been conspiring with me to get people to watch it... (three guesses which part I did )so far two successes, and lots more people who want to see it...we'll just have to throw another movie party!

Believe it or not I have no image of any other downers. I've tried racking my brains but nothing. I shall correct Fordim slightly, though.

He is the same height as myself, but of slightly lighter build.
(He's 5'10)

His hair is brown and somewhat wavy; it might also be touched with a few hints of grey, but these hairs lend him dignity. He is a man who would look good in glasses, but he does not wear any.
(Yes he does)

His arms and fingers are long and graceful. His eyebrows are faintly bushy over intensely focused eyes, which can sometimes become oddly distant as he wanders through the labyrinths of his dreams, even in the waking world. He has a very closely cropped beard.
(No beard)

davem wears brown clothes; not all brown, but many earth tones, with the occasional touch of dark colour thrown in. He dresses surprisingly well, if conservatively. He wears jackets every day.
(Actually he mostly wears jeans, & only wears a shirt & tie for work)

His face is angular but not jagged, giving him the look of an aesthete, but this initial impression is overborne when he laughs at jokes that others do not find funny for his wit is not common, sharp as it might be.
(No, his face is round, but his jaw is slightly angular)

He loves trees and wooded lanes, and will speak to himself audibly when he knows that he is alone. He likes to ride the bus and look at the other people, imagining what they are like when at home.

He smokes a pipe when he reads, and drinks ale rather than lager. He is friendly to strangers, and kind to animals.

(He tends to avoid strangers, being overly shy. He (i)never(/i) smokes his pipe while reading, as coffee-caramel tobacco creates such thick clouds of smoke that that would be impossible)

I could correct Fordim... on some things--- but I won't.

Except on the boots... rarely wear boots.

WRONG!!! ha ha! What? do you think i'm Gandalf?! but as for the personality part, very good. Your physical guess... really bad. i walk around in my black/maroon cloak. and i do not have "platinum blonde" hair... i hiss at those people in Seattle but, i do love to tinker with my hair. Scorpio. really think about it. As for my eyes, close but go darker.

hope this helps others.

Whew...that's a relief. Usually my physical descriptions are frightenly accurate. This is a nice change, and no I don't see you being Gandalf. You, I think look much younger, twenties perhaps. I meant platinum blonde hair, not silver/gray.

Meh, I'm not a big follower of astrology. Though I do know my own sign in both Greek and Chinese. (Not that I'll ever voluntarily tell anyone.)

Guess I'm still eluding people on my identity....

slightly, but I'll give it a shot.
Morai....
She (you are female, right? Kind of hard to tell. If not, tell me and I'll amend this rather radically) has long black hair, about 6" past her shoulders. She has a way of looking classy whether she's working in her somewhat massive garden or attending an orchestra concert. She's outgoing, but needs time far from the madding crowd.



That's all I can see. How'd I do?

Hmm... twenties you say? Well, i will not say anything except, you are not anywhere close with the age. Only that, you need to keep guessing with a unusual concept in mind. maybe then...

Alas and to my great sadness, I do not have red hair. *sobs*
Well, being a child with red hair is not always a blessing. Going by the alternate name of 'duracell' until I was about 8 was not nice, but thankfully from then on it darkened to a more mahogany tone. And remember, there's not need to be sad for it's easy to be a fake redhead.

Someone I had imagined to have very dark red hair was davem, but it appears I was wrong. I think Bethberry may be another redhead, as Mithalwen may be, too. I think it's the sparky temperament. I know it all too well myself.

I don't really draw up too many mental images of people's appearances, but some 'Downers do come through strongly, mainly where they remind me of other people. What I do often get strong images of though, is people's personalities, whether they are outgoing or shy, if they are sitting at a messy desk, what kind of thing they may be wearing. It's such fun to guess though...
