Damn. Now you made me have to post my picture.Dude, you look like Johnny Depp around the time he was killed by Freddy Kreuger.
...He doesn't in real life but the lighting...
Now that's interesting.
*sigh* okay, here it is (hopefully, as we all know how great I am at links)

Grr, the music on your myspace interferred with my incredably much better Coheed and Cambria CD! Nice photo, though. I feel like I recognize you somehow...ever live in the vicinity of Ticonderoga NY or Manassas VA?

This is what happened when I clicked your link Lena:
BORDER MANAGER ALERT: ORGANIZATIONAL POLICIES PROHIBIT ACCESS TO THIS PAGE.
Looks like I'll have to wait till I get home. People at my work were spending too much time on MySpace, YouTube and eBay so they blocked them.

I like that song because I have many young nieces who go to my profile all the time, I'm hoping the message will sink in.
I've never lived east of anything. Grew up in Washington, lived in Oregon, California, Alaska and even did a few days in Hawaii and Canada, but alas, never east. It's okay though, everyone says that, so I just say I look like everyone's friend ;)
Much as I'm enjoying all these good looking gamers posting their pics ... c'mon guys, you're totally ruining the stereotype! Where are all the Comic Book Guy look-alike, live in their mom's basement type gamers and their pics?
... on second thoughts ... I'm good with Lena, Yeux etc. at this stage...
Now I have to post mine. I hope you guys aren't stalkers and stuff. :P
Probably a good one to ask before posting your pic and personal details .... but anyway.
Dont worry, I think you're safe enough here... ;-)
Yeah, I'm not really worried about it, as evidenced by my sticky outy tongue guy. And by the fact that my myspace shows the world I'm a ninja that can shoot fire out of my hands. No one wants to mess with that. >:D
I've had 4 piercings in my life. 3 in one ear, 1 nipple. I took them all out when I joined the Army. I still have scars on my left ear where you can see two of them. Actually the cartledge piercing didn't last 24 hours, I did it to piss off my boss when I was 19. I liked the nipple ring, and might do it again someday.
Tattoo's are something I've thought about getting, but I haven't gotten around to. I keep thinking of getting an Oroborus (the snake swalling it's tail, I know I butchered the spelling) as an armband. I just haven't for whatever reason. But I agree with the sentiment of not being sure if I want a picture on me for the rest of my life.
And Yuex, some of us guys like girls with curly hair.
Yuex, your hair is beautiful! What I wouldn't give for a little curl. Alas, I am the only one in my family who doesn't have hair like yours, instead I have the whole 70's flower power thing going on. Embrace what you have, even if you hate it, know that other women would pay anything for it. (please insert good natured woman to woman insult here)

Well, I kind of fit into the tubby guy with facial hair living in mom's basement stereotype. I've posted my blog all over the place on Paizo, but here it is again, The Shelton Diagram Factory. I'm on there with my dog, who's now much prettier than I am, my artwork, which is also hopefully much prettier than I am, and the tomatoes I'm growing, which will be almost as delicious as I am.
I love these little "get to know each other" parties.

You look quite a bit like my little sister! :)
I wear plain black t-shirts most of the time. They make me look cool and tough.
Actually, I change into my uniform at work and plain black t-shirts is the only thing I can wear underneath my summer shirts and be within regulation. In winter, I can wear a mock turtleneck.
When running around doing errands, I invariably end up wearing a Rush concert t-shirt or something like that. Combined with my urban camouflage pants, which I like to wear because they're comfortable and have lots of pockets, people give me lots of room in supermarkets, as I look kind of like an 80's throwback heavy metal listenin' unabomber.
I wore suits and coats and ties at work for 14 years, so I tend to go a little too casual when not at work.
I pick clothing for its capability to conceal handguns. That's creepy right? Aubrey? Can't wait to hear from you ;)

Waddyamean handguns? I thought you were some kind of Texas tough-guy - not the kind that carts around teensie-weensie little handguns. So, I corrected the sentence for you:
"I pick clothing for its ability to conceal my personal monogrammed M-60s, complete with mother-of-pearl inlaid handgrips and polished mahogany stock featuring a gold-leaf picture of a bald eagle."
Well, I'm overly tame from an appearance standpoint for the most part.
But...today I shaved the beard I have had for 5.5 years off. Currently I have, for the first time in my life, a goatee. Not so sure the look is for me, but I'll give it 24-48 hours before I decide. If not, I think I'll try the clean shaven look for a bit. It's always nice to look 10+ years younger. :)
That and I was just discussing with my wife that I will almost certainly be shaving my head within the next year...
I've contemplated one tattoo for years... never confident I could get someone to do the art right.
Want to have two dragons (one chinese and one european) forming a stylized yin-yang. Fire breath, storm clouds, lots of little details...
And since eberron came out been thinking about getting a Mark of Making (being an engineer and a geek can lead to odd choices)
Otherwise, I wear my wedding ring, and when I am going out without the shiny-yankers (read children) I wear a medallion I picked up at a ren faire with a euro dragon on one side and a chinese on the other.
(Yeah, the symbolism means something personal...)
Hooray for joining the thread late and after Cosmo!
I have two earrings in each lobe. No tattoos, no more piercings. For some reason, every time I do something drastic like that to my body I get drastically sick. That, and the last set of piercings took over a year to heal. (Imagine that with a nose ring... *shiver*)

Not too creepy, my mom picks out upper undergarments that have the side panel capacity for her firearm. When we're out and about, and she sees something amiss, she flops her right arm like a chicken (she thinks she's being subtle) to check for her handgun.

-witty comback to Lena's insult-
I'm slowly starting to like it. Very slowly.
Thanks for the compliments, guys!
Vatnisse, thats just Jake. He likes strange things and likes to share them with me. It used to be videos and now its just the random movie poster.
*sigh* okay, here it is (hopefully, as we all know how great I am at links)
meOooh, Lena's purty! That picture most defienently does not suck. I swears it.
Now I have to post mine. I hope you guys aren't stalkers and stuff. :P
Snarl... When girls who look like the two of you complain about your looks, the barbarian in me wants to grab my swords and storm the halls of mainstream media!
I'm slowly starting to like it. Very slowly.

I know how you feel. My hair can't decide if it's curly or just poofy, and it took me a long time to finally accept and like it. Also helped that a good friend gave me a ceramic hair-straightener as a gift...
(Also, I think your hair is absolutely beautiful! If I didn't think it would totally ruin the tentative truce I have with my hair, I would try to get it to perfectly curl like yours.)

I recomend the book Curly Girl. It really really helped me out. Honest to god, swear on my dice it did. You gott love your hair for it to love you.
How did this thread turn into hair talk? Weird.

Things like that just happen 'round here.
Speaking of hair talk, I highly recommend the Garnier Fructis line of hair products. The "Length and Strength" shampoo/conditioner really does what is says it does - my split ends have all but disappeared using this stuff. The intense conditioner cream works quite well, and best of all, the products don't have a funky weird medicinal smell to them. Lightly fruity, slightly tropical.
As I read this, I´m terrible average (besides being about 6`4`` and 225 lbs). I have no tattoos, no piercings (I find them mostly ugly), no mods at all. I wear my brown hair short, and have a modern goatee, slowly turning to white. And I wear glasses.
The only strange thing I do is that I wear only black clothes, if it is below 30 °C. Of course, not on a LARP or something similar (did I tell that I play Vampire Live also? Go figure...
I thought about a tattoo, but it was not important enough to me to spend money on it, and I´m feeling to old for things like this already.

Looks neat! Thanks! (Eh, they were talking about hair cuts earlier. All works out.)

Sweet! I'll help!
Lillith, I feel your pain. I got my hair chemically straightened once and that lasted about a week too. Oh well.
Oh, go on...
Cute gamer girls with a penchant for barbarian rages... where were the likes of you 10 years ago...

Oh, I forgot to post to the other thread, but kudos on your "Young Master", James.
What sort of sword do you guys do? If it's Japanese just get a bokken and use that when you're in public. It's pretty obviously a peice of training equipment, and there's nothing wrong with a bokken anyway - if it's good enough for Musashi it's good enough for anyone. I always use mine when training, even if no-one can see me.
I use a pair of 28" english long swords made by starfire swords. Specifically I have the 3 pound "light" stage versions, not the 6 lb authentics. Since they are theatre pieces, I can't really get in trouble.
I use to have a set of bokken, but they apparently get brittle when stored on a rack above a heater... oops

Yeah, I'm always on the look out for a new conditioner, since that's what I mainly use on my hair. I'll try anything once, though I've been playing around with a conditioner that puts 'red to auburn' highlights. Total crap that smells weird. It seemed like it was a wash, which I've used before, but it was too diluted to do anything to my hair now that I've cut all the dyed ends off.
Stefan, my dad got his first tattoo when he turned 40 (I think, maybe it was 38...). He got a Thoth with a sundisk underneath. Its pretty big, and gorgeously done. I think it's one of those "Oh crap, I'm getting old!" kind of things. Now he has three-an Indian design on the other arm and "618" on one of his wrists, which was a silly joke thing. We both thought that the tat would affect his job but it hasn't as long as he wears sleeves. So, I guess my point is that your never too old?
My girlfriend's secret (well, actually her mother's) for silky hair is to wash it with a bar of pure soap and then rinse with a dash of apple cider vinegar mixed with water. Cheaper than shampoo and conditioner and much better for your hair. A few times a year she washes her hair with a beaten egg and it goes really shiny. True story. No-one she has introduced this method to has ever gone back to using hair product.
I have 3 tattoos that are lined up across the top of my back. On the left shoulder is a stylized celtic cross (for faith), on the right shoulder is a celtic knotwork 1/4 moon (I'm Cancer, better known as a moon child) and the last one is the most special to me, at the base of my neck is a wolf head (my protector). All of them are grayscale. I only want one more but I haven't found an artist to draw it for me yet. I want my state outline, colored in w/the flag with a yellow rose and a blue bonnet surrounding it. (Yes, I'm 100% Texan)
I've colored my hair pink, yellow, blue and then went back to my natural dark brown.
I tried piercing my ears 3 different times and finally took my bodies hint that it didn't want metal shoved into it.
The only jewelry I wear regularly is a watch. Occasionally a ring or 2 and bracelets. I like stone and leather jewelry and if I wear metal it's only silver.
Not too creepy, my mom picks out upper undergarments that have the side panel capacity for her firearm. When we're out and about, and she sees something amiss, she flops her right arm like a chicken (she thinks she's being subtle) to check for her handgun.
