My dad- in his prime (and he is still good looking) looked like Benjamin Bratt while my mom looked like Raquel Welch. Good genes - but sometimes I do not like how big and round my head looks when I smile like the typical Saggie LOL..My bro calls it the "golf ball on a tee"

Mr. Taurus loves it, but still ---I do have that poop eating grin.

My little Nephew is just my pride and joy. He is so handsome already and I can't wait to see my next little nephew or neice. My Scorp sis in law in preggers and we are about to have a little Aqua in the family...Yipppeeee....

Once Mr. Taurus and I have a pee wee I will be sure to post his / her pic

Harpyr, looking good, and so is your son. Hope he washed his hand.

Yin! I hadn't realized you'd posted a pic! What a treat to see how lovely you are.

FINALLY --- After a lot of trial and error I was able to add my picture to the photo album!!!!

I have to say something first, though: what is it with you women??? Chris Rock was right when he called you 'Masters of the Visual Lie'. How can you look so different from one photograph to the next? The few photos of me (that somehow survived the Grave Bodily Harm done to both camera and photographer) always show the same goofy-looking person, from any angle, on any day.

Nevertheless, there are some things you just cannot hide. So hopefully this should make for good reading. I make no claims regarding the accuracy of the following statements; they are just what I see.

Also, these are going to be in alphabetical order, because that is how ACDSee shows them to me.

How I wish I had more than one picture of you. Ah well.
You are quick to laugh, and smile often, as show by those dimples on either side of your mouth. The image that comes to mind is 'jovial Taurus', partaking heartily of all the good things life has to offer. Like King Henry VIII at a banquet, as Linda put it. But those dimples suggest something else, as does the set of your mouth: you are a bit more serious than your casual demeanor leads most people to believe. You spend some time thinking about issues that you feel are important. Your barely-submerged, slightly-more-serious side makes you quick to anger as well. Not a serious anger, usually just offense or annoyance, which you are quick to let go of if the offending party makes any attempt at amends. That photo captures your eyes perfectly. I keep wanting to say something about them... but I think then I would just be flirting.

Astro Junkie
It is your expressions rather than your facial features that speak to me. You seem to be a bit troubled. You bear some inner burden, something weighs on you... I think your self-esteem suffers a bit, and you compensate by trying to project the 'strong woman' image. I'd say you're feisty, and quite sexual (though anyone who has paid attention to your posts knows that much). All in all, I'm glad I don't live anywhere near you. (I mean that in a good way!) I have a question: two of your photos look very different from the others. Is there a time gap between them and the rest?

BloodRedMoon
Ahhh, the first of the Amazing Metamorphosing Faces! You have two photos of you (or so you say) and someone called 'Mayfair' -- but I can't spot the person from the rest of the photos in them! You really must be pulling our leg somehow. Until I find out witch of you is witch, I'm not going to open my mouth, because I'll surely end up eating foot.

Harpyr
You look like a very kind person. Neither photo of you is very clear for my purposes, but I'd swear those are real smiles.

Pixelpixie
The elven lady! I see sarcasm. I see coy looks. You pretend to be shy when you you want to attract someone. I see a bit of worldliness. You're not slow, shy, or naive; You just like to look that way. You're a bitter one to those that have ticked you off. You can narrow your eyes and give a look that would freeze dry ice. I would say you speak rather slowly and deliberately, compared to some of the Chatty Cathy's of the world. A hair spoiled, maybe? But you never take it for granted, you know you can make it on your own.

Randall
I get the impression you're often quiet, with a rather deep voice. You're friendly and compassionate, but you keep it understated. You're not as slow as some people seem tothink. You make your judgements quietly, and you keep them to yourself. All in all, easygoing and friendly on the outside. But you could be a real bear, push come to shove.

Special
You should have kept that nickname; it suits you.

Trillian
Your picture suprised me. Nothing like I expected. You look skeptical in that photo, like you're listening to someone tell a story but you don't believe a word they're saying -- actually, you think they're full of it. You are skeptical, aren't you? A bit suspicious. Few people pull one over on you. You've seen plenty of the ugly side of life, and you're always prepared for more.

Tuesday
Who are you!??! How come I've never seen a post by you?

Virgo-Aries Artist
Well, I definitely see the Virgo. That is such a sweet smile you've got there. You're just as wholesome as wheat bread. I see a sharp intelligence, and the usual Virgo self-doubt. You would be someone I would probably like to hang around with -- but not too much. You Virgos are way too serious and grounded for an airy Libra like me. Virgos and I get on each other's nerves after prolonged close contact. But you're an artist, and I gotta love that.

Xelena Ben
Hmmm. Look at the thin, precise nature of all your features. The word that comes to mind is 'severe'. I wouldn't want to get on your bad side!

Well, I'm disappointed. I think I did better the first time. But that post is lost forever.

But I'd like to know why I surprised both you and Yin so much. May I ask what you were expecting? Don't worry, if you say you were expecting an ogre, I won't hold it against you.

Skeptical? I suppose...but I think I'd rather call myself discriminating. I have seen a lot of the different sides of life, yes, that's true. lalalinda said there are some aspects in my chart that indicate a pretty good perception for the way the Universe works...dunno...but please don't think there isn't joy in my soul, or that I'm only seeing things on the seedy side. There is beauty everywhere...and yet, the Yin and Yang of life is almost always apparent to me.

Thanks paras, very interesting read.

And thanks Yin, you're a sweetie, too.

Did you know there's a computer program called Trillian? I don't know what it does, but I've seen the name.

As for when you get to see me... maybe, maybe after I get a decent picture of me taken, if I can overcome my paranoia, you might get to see it.

I'm not sure entirely what you mean here. The two pictures I have posted with MayFair (who posts occasionally here) were taken on the same night and I have bright PINK hair. How would it be confusing? I guess I should be more clear in the decriptions. I'll fix that now.

posted August 04, 2004 01:24 PM         

I'm sure I look very different than one might expect (no long white beard and hair ) ... pretty average, really.

One of these days I'll figure it out ...

paras Well, the nick trillian comes from a book, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Trish McMillan becomes Trillian when she takes off with Zaphod Beeblebrox, he of two head, and ruler of the galaxy. Fun set of books that I read in college, very dry British humor, they kept me laughing. But I'm so glad I'm not an ugly alien! I think sometimes people don't see me clearly because of Pluto conjuncting my Leo rising.

The program Trillian--which probably also took its name from the book--do you mean the chat program? It combines all your chats, Yahoo, MSN, mIRC, etc., into one.

Yin, thank you, what a sweet thing to say.

Pixie: I think you can be a chameleon, but a beautiful one. The bouncy Leo rising hides the Scorpio underneath.

BloodRedWitch: such a beautiful expressive face, no matter the color of hair. The pink is cool, though.

Now paras, don't be coy. We want to see you.

Got a scanner ... I'll work on those pictures.
