How do you imagine other BDers - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Folwren · 01-28-2008, 07:55 PM

Oh, Gwathagor! My image is shattered - destroyed! No longer will I think of you as my height, dear me, no. And no longer are you Gwathy. Ha. Anything but...especially when you're scowling, as you usually do.

Gwathagor · 01-28-2008, 08:05 PM

*chuckles wryly to self*

No more Gwathy. Splendid.

I know it is a bad assumption, but ever since you revealed your Pogue-appreciation, I had a strong picture of you as of the male gender. I know, it is bad to assume that, but most people I meet who actually know who they are, well, are male.
Which is sad too, because Kristy MacColl was with them for awhile, and she was (and is) amazing! I would have figured more women would be aware of The Pogues just because of her for starters, but I guess it is mostly of where I live that no one has a clue who they are. *sigh*

I know the Pogues... but only by way of a male punk friend... so I don't know if that counts much.

The Ka: gratuitously long black hair, skin that ranges, depending on nothing in particular, in tone from albino to a burnished copper. Heavily lined eyes. Always very heavily lined eyes.

(Charmed. Actually, I take that rather as a compliment - it must mean that somehow, somewhere on this vast Downs, I have behaved somewhat like Sam. Sam's my absolutely favoritest character, though I dont' think you knew that. *scratches head confusedly*
Could you tell me how you came to that conclusion? And what do you mean, "looks like Sam" precisely - can you say?)
-Folwren

It WAS a compliment! I love Sam! It was one of the highest compliments anyone can receive! But I am sorry if I offended. And how I came to that conclusion, well, when TheGreatElvenWarrior had her avatar as Sam with his frying pans I kept mistaking it for yours and vice versa. They did look rather alike at first glance and I guess after that the image of you as Sam kind of stuck. Rather sad perhaps.

Oh, and A Little Green, how did you know I have sandy-blond curls? That is amazing. How long are they?

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 01-30-2008, 12:12 AM

I would have never thought of Gwathy like that! He looks like he should be in some movie, because he has the looks to be a movie star

... well, that's just crazy, of course I know someone who's better looking!

(That's male)

And wait, Lauri who are you getting me confused with?

I don't know where did that assumption come from. You just seem like a person with sandy-blond curls

I've figured out that picturing people to look like their avatars can be dangerous. No problem with doing that to people like Folwren or Groin (the dwarf thingy though, not the John Wayne (yet...)

), but when you start picturing Menel like his avatar something must be awry...

I know The Pogues Ka, though I must admit I only really know one song by them as a group, but the lead singer has been on Jools Holland on occasion so I've seen him more often.

With me, so you shoudl have no fear. I'm sure many people wish they were confused for me.

Well, it's surprising that Lauri would get me confused with anyone one the Downs. But, you seem like a nice person, so I'd rather get confused with you that someone else...
