"That's Me!" Avatar Week? (Silly idea inside.)

[Jenee]

Rockin' 'stache!

It better be, he's had it since his early twenties and he's not giving it up anytime soon.

Nice pic! My wife wouldn't let me fling our kid into the ceiling fan.

He's too overprotective of the child - his first, my second. I was the one throwing the baby around while he was screaming for me to stop.

 

[JustKate]

Justkate, you actually do look kind of like I imagined. I always associated you with Janeway because of your name and the fact that I see you on the Voyager board a lot. And you actually do kind of resemble her!

Why, thanks, Destro. I call myself "Kate" because it's one of my actual real life nicknames, though - I honestly didn't even think of it in relation to Janeway until I saw all the various Janeway-related avatars. Context is everything - even with nicknames.

 

[JustKate]

I am not going to get to see the movie until next weekend. You people make me sick!

Heretic!

Don't think I'm happy about it because I'm not. At all. "Resentful" comes to mind. But I can't stand really crowded theaters, so this weekend is out, and I have a gigantic deadline looming next week, so next week is out. Avoiding spoilers all that time is going to be quite the challenge.

Anyway, I've decided to try out another avatar of myself. I gotta say, I was very hesitant about this whole idea initially, but now I'm quite enjoying it! And it's wonderful to see what all you beautiful people really look like.

Kudos to you, NCC-1701, for a terrific thread!

I like it. And I am lovin' all these faces.

 

[Neopeius]

If I can get someone to photoshop my face and a younger, skinnier body on my avatar, I'll do it.

Good Lord, you're lovely!

 

[AstroSmurf]

Wow - nice avatar AstroSmurf - looks like a still shot from a TV show!

Thank you. All I did was set the camera on the tripod and hit the timer.

AS, Shameless will be here any minute to flirt, guaranteed! But I don't need to tell you that...

Nope you don't. And I would feel odd if he didn't. I would know immediately that I had lost what little charm I had left.



And I would like to echo everyone's sentiments about this wonderful thread. It is nice to really see what everyone looks like. Old friends now have faces to go with their names!

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

*rushes in, sees AS* Well ... hello there.

 

[Neeka Keet]

Shameless has this awesome dudedar that I really admire and am slightly frightened of.

 

[WillsBabe]

Woo-hoo! Very nice to see you, WB!

And you! *waves" I'm really enjoying this thread. I'm finding it very liberating and off-putting posting with my own avatar (a bit like going topless on the beach! )

Very glad to see you, Kustirider. I am one of the old ones (let's see...the animated series debuted the year after I turned 15)

And you're looking great on it! TWOK was still a whole year away when I was 15.

I am not going to get to see the movie until next weekend. You people make me sick!

I'm off to see it this afternoon. It's my reward for doing more DIY. I have a date with a paint can and another with Bones McCoy all in the same day!

Kustirider, it's great to see you here. You remind me of me when I was your age. It's great to know that all these years later, there's a new film for 15 year olds to enjoy! (Did that sound patronising? Wasn't meant to.)

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

And what's more awesome/worrying is that i was out and about today!

 

[neogothboy74]

I got this idea when I witnessed a conversation in another thread the other day where one poster found it questionable that another used a picture of himself as his avatar.

Thanks.

My roomie who also comes here told me about this thread.

And the picture is definitely me. And my aforementioned roomie took it, though it's 3 years old now. He goes by Plague on here, and he's an amazing photographer.

It's nice to see everyone.

Oh. And when I was 15, I believe Next Generation was gearing up to air Season 3. DS9 was still 3.5 years away...or something like that.

And the picture is definitely me. And my aforementioned roomie took it, though it's 3 years old now. He goes by the name Plague on here.

Durn. You had to out me as the photographer on that one? I really like the contrast on it, but I otherwise hate the way it came out. It doesn't do you justice, but I'm glad you like it.

 

[neogothboy74]

^ I guess this means you're awake. lol. And yes, I like that picture. As does my grandmother.

I like your picture too. I don't recognize that one.

 

[RAMA]

OK after the excitement of the ST movie I have put up another avatar of myself.

RAMA

 

[Gepard]

I have put up another avatar of myself.

Only this time you have an excuse.

 

[RJDiogenes]

Heh. Typo Of The Week.

Not a typo

Thanks, teach!

Whew! Nice save.

And to join the 15 meme: When I was 15, it was the Bicentennial. And I don't think they had even started talking about the Star Trek: Phase II that eventually became TMP.

 

[SPOCKED]

TAS premiered just a few days after my 15th birthday

 

[Australis]

*rushes in, sees AS* Well ... hello there.

Called it!!

 

[Jenee]

If I can get someone to photoshop my face and a younger, skinnier body on my avatar, I'll do it.

Good Lord, you're lovely!

**blushes profusely**

Thanks Neopeius. You're not so bad yourself.

Love the mustache and glasses.

 

[Roshi]

Australis, you look like mrcoaster! It's uncanny!

 

[Servo]

Star Trek: Generations came out when I was 15.
