How do you imagine other BDers

[Saraphim]

Saraphim: you seem moderately punk-ish to me... (again, i mean that in a good way) and i imagine that you always have a manga or anime book close at hand.

Well, you're definitly right about the manga bit. I suppose my Sephiroth avvy kind of hints to that. I suppose you're right about the "punkish" part as well, to a certain degree.

I do wear over-large pants and I have a collection of T-shirts (mostly with witty lines or band names, and bought from the internet) that I wear over a cotton dress shirt.

My brown hair is rather flat and almost comes to my shoulders, but I usually pull it back. I'm taller than I would like to be, at 5'11. I have very thick glasses and more ear peircings than my father appreciates.

I usually consider people by their avatars as well. Eomer of the Rohirrim will always look like Eomer to me.

But here's some more:

Perky Ent: I imagine you as the funny trickster-type, with a big grin and dark hair that hangs in your eyes.

The Barrow-Wight: You're the kind of person (in my head, at least) that wears sweater-vests, but also a ponytail.

Everyone from the Nearsighted Elves Society: You all have glasses. (Tee Hee )

[Everdawn]

Pio: Ive just been laughing at myself for the past few minutes. Totally the opposite of how I saw you. Its funny isnt it?

OK and Meela- I havent seen around for a bit. But Ive always imagined her as this crazy ebony haired lass who strolls around all day in long dresses lamenting Denethor.

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Estelyn, to my mind, is, and will always be, Princess Fiona.

That's what I get for keeping the same avatar so long, but I don't think I dare change it anymore! (Besides, she's the only fairy-tale princess who's not too saccharin sweet for me.) Perhaps I should use the ogre Fiona picture for awhile, so that those who see my real photo or meet me in person will be pleasantly surprised?!

There's a similar old, closed thread on the Barrow-Downs forum called What do you think the Barrow-Downers look like? - you might enjoy reading through it. Alas, many of those named there, including Maril, who started it, are rarely or no longer active here...

[The Saucepan Man]

Nah, I don't think belching and shaving will go with the image, Esty.

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

You'd be surprised.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Saraphim, I wish I had flowing blonde locks!

[Sleepy Ranger]

Sleepy Ranger: No, you don't look like your avatar. You have a mischievous face, and brown curly hair that looks like you just woke up. You where T-shirts and broken in jeans, and when you aren't on the computer you are skateboarding.

Mischevious face? Actually its not but I'm mischevious like always except when it comes to certain people then I'm a well mannered snob (bet nobody thought of me as a well mannered snob) . Its not curly but its dark brown and yes it does look like I just woke up. T-Shirts and broken in jeans, that fits me to a tee. How true. But you forgot the glasses, with a power of 7 and 8 (left & right, respectively). Just wish I could eggplant.
And I only skateboard when I'm not playing cricket or football or on the computer pr PS2 or reading LoTR.
So thats a bit of me. Now make crazy mental images.

[Sirithheruwen]

NightKnight: I don't really have a mental picture of him, but I always imagine him, when not on the 'Downs, skateboarding or surfing.

Also, in my naive little world that is the Barrowdowns, almost everyone is under the age of 30, excluding some, namely: Sharku, The Barrow-wight, The Saucepan Man, burrahobbit, piosenniel, and Estelyn Telcontar. (Sorry, you guys!) The others are 20-somethings and teenagers. (Lucky you! )

Also, I seem to imagine prominent males on the 'Downs to also have very prominent noses. Those people are: Sharku, The Barrow wight, The Saucepan Man, Kransha, burrahobbit, and Fordim Hedgethistle.

I like your avvie too, Sirith!!but yeah. there are a bunch of BDers who (in my mind at least) look like their avatars. you, Sirith, are one.

*sighs* Red hair and startlingly green eyes? *sighs again* I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

Sirhirtheruwen: bohemian chic, carrying around a notebook with doodling and random passages stuck in it. Constantly murmuring jokes and quips under your breath to make everyone around you crack up.

BTW, I have one more question on that: do you mean Bohemian as in "from Bohemia", as in "artsy-fartsy", or as in the way that I dress? Just curious to know...

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

artsy fartsy, the way you AND i dress, apparently...

[Son of Númenor]

Fordim, I was thinking more along the lines of Harrison Ford in The Fugitive, pre-shave, aged forty years.

Just kidding. Let those tears flow.

Edit: I just saw Saraphim's "sweater-vests... ponytail" description of the B-W. Priceless.

[Carlas]

Having very little imagination of my own I always think of people as their avatars, whether it's a person, animal, or object. Like Orofaniel who I will always imagine as a crazy dancing mouse. I even started thinking of myself as a chinese woman with green hair, but was disappointed when I later looked into the mirror (I actually changed my avatar today, but that lasted all of ten minutes).
