I do smile often - smirk alot too.....roll my eyes alot also. My had a Scorpio friend who would laugh at me and tell me I was very "animated". I love to laugh and can find humor in just about anything. Although I am quite shy and seem serious to people who dont know me. I am often asked if I ever talk - by people who don't know me well. At which point I proceed to commuicate by sign languaging to them - and they quickly run away - and I am happy.
I am suprised you didnt mention that I look sad. I get this one alot too. I can't stand it. I guess some people expect you to walk aroung with a goofy smile on your face all of the time - so they can then tell you that you smile too much.

I believe I give off a very cool and confident exterior, that is hiding alot inside. (Cap. rising)

I think those dimples you see are actually smile creases - or the beginning stages of wrinkles. I do have a small dimple in my chin when I smile.

I have been known to let my dangerous Taurus temper explode. But this is rare - it takes alot. (it depends largely on what sign the moon is in and what time of the month it is also....... )

"Quick to anger yet not usually a serious anger - quick to forgive" (you said something like that)
Yes...I agree with you there. I am easily annoyed by people in general. Right also about being quick to forgive. I CANNOT hold a grudge - on anyone. Even if they don't extend a hand to make amends. I simply and easily move on.

That photo captures your eyes perfectly. I keep wanting to say something about them... but I think then I would just be flirting.

Why thank you!! Say something.
"Please, flirt away!!!" says Venus in Gemini.
You Libran flirt.

You wish you had another picture.....
Well okay. I'll post one. And I think I'll post a self portrait I did a couple of years ago. I will have to take a picture of it and post it that way. So we'll see if that works.

I would love to see some of our other lovely artist's work also. And how about something by your artist s-elf???

By the way how old are you? And what are your Moon and Rising signs? You are a little secretive paras (alot of Scorpio perhaps???). And I need to know everything - it's just my nature, you see?
And stop being bashful - post a friggin' picture.

I'll be back with more pictures later. Need to charge the camera.

You want to know something, fellow Libran? We have the same smile dimples. I have one photo of myself (no, no one's ever going to see it, I'm deleting it as soon as I get a better one), and if you look at it and the photo of you next to your husband... it's almost eerie. Where do you live? I ask because of the photo of you and the two little girls. (or maybe you were on vacation somewhere?) Anyway, you look like a country girl to me. Also like you've seen a fair bit of hardship in your life. But of course we Librans are optimists at heart, aren't we? We take a licking and keep on grinning. I get the feeling you like simple pleasures. Especially the company of friends, and good conversations. Not too materialistic, am I right? I don't get a lot of definite impressions from your picture for some reason, so what I say here is really reaching. Sorry if I'm wrong!

There's something odd about you, buddy. Something just behind your eyes, that I can't see -- that probably no one can -- because you don't want them to.

BloodRedMoon
How do you take such lovely photographs? You make an artist weep for his pencil!
You look like someone who has had a relatively average life for a young American woman. You've been through all the wonderful 'coming-of-age' cliches that moviemakers in the 80's made so much money from. But in the 90's style, of course. You're adequately jaded, as we all are now. You're well aware of the way men perceive you, and know how to use that to best effect. I'm not saying you're manipulative, you don't look like that at all, just that when you want a man, you know how to make him notice you. You're more thoughtful than most, probably like to read a lot. You look like someone who makes a good friend and a lot of fun to be around; you are often light-hearted and playful.
Oh, and I have a question: did Mayfair used to go by 'Wych of Avalon'? The photo of Wych looks a lot like her...

Quiksilver
Hard to say, hard to say. Your face is so small in that picture, and you are squinting in the sun and wind. I really don't want to venture any guesses from it, I'd most likely be way off-base.

I'm sorry for the 'severe' bit. It's those photo-booth pictures, they make you look really different from the other photos -- except for the black-and-white one. It's very strange to me how a person can look like someone totally different in two different photographs. I'll say this about you, you're far from naive. You're a bit of a skeptic, like I said about Trillian. Maybe not as much, though.

Philbird
You are flightly and unpredictable. Your friends say you're liable to fly off at a moment's notice, then land beside them when they least expect it. Your head moves in little jerks, or swings side-to-side when you're happy and singing. You have a habit of staring at a person with one eye, head cocked to the side, as if to say, "What'chu talkin' 'bout, Willis??" You're quite chatty, and sometimes repetitious. Oh, and you like birds...

A note...
This is really difficult to do from photos. In person, I have this on-sight intuition, and it comes from the face of the person in question. The instant I see them for the first time, I know a few certain things about them. This intuition has never been wrong. I really wish my original post hadn't been lost... one night, I was sitting here, going through the photos, and I could have sworn I knew you all. What I wrote that night... I can't remember it, but I know it was right. These descriptions are more cerebral, less intuitive... and probably a lot less accurate. Maybe I can recapture that feeling again someday. If I do, you can be sure I'll post as fast as I can.

*I* used to go by the name WychOfAvalon. Although, to be very fair, MayFair and I look like sisters if you ask me.

editted to add stuff:
Sorry I didn't write as much as I wanted before. It was right before my morning workout and I can't eat breakfast until I work out so I was HUNNNNGRY!

I don't know that I would call my life 'average'. Well actually I could call my life average because it's normal to me but most people I know say it's anything but average just because I've been able to do lots of crazy things many people can't or won't do.

Doesn't everyong go through the coming of age things? Although, yes, it was the 80's for me!! I was 16 in 1988!

lol yes I am jaded but I try to keep it to a minimum -- at least externally.

I do like to read a lot!! I haven't read much in recent years but WOW I used to be a huge bookworm. HUGE!

Life it too short for me to worry about someone liking me or not, or if they can get an adequate "read" based on a few pictures of me online.

I have never been worried about my looks - I thank God every day for blessing my family with good genes, but I also know that beauty is only on the outside and it superficially it does fade as we age- but inside, that beauty doesn't fade. I also firmy believe that although some people may think one person is stunning others may think of them as ordinary. So, one should always go through life as being humble because no one is perfect.

I cannot make assumptions on what a person is like here based on their pictures. I know most of them too well. I see what they write and how they are which changes my perspective - always in a good way. It lends more to the person to know they have flavor that just being a mere picture.

For Example: Looking at my nephew one would think he is very contemplative and sedate. His pictures protray this far away look (those large penetrating Scorp eyes). But, he has an Aries rising (conjuncting my moon) and lo and behold, you CANNOT keep him still. He is the most energetic, fun loving, spirited kid.

So, I see pictures as being somewhat deceiving in that they do not give real impressions but they do lend a face with a name.

Hey, Paras!
Do you see anything in my pic?
(The one w/ the hat.)

If that one's not good enough, there're a ton on http://groups.msn.com/USArmyPatrickFam/shoebox.msnw
I'm the goof-ball lookin' one

I think I'll be a big dork and just post some for you to look at (I tried to find the best face-shot stuff):

Me, back in March, sans make-up (as usual) and very pregnant. With very big cheeks.

My husband, Jase, a couple of years ago with his long hair.

And back in December with his skeeter wings.

Do looks matter? Sure, that's why we all look different. What counts is how much they matter, and to whom.

I like looking at people, and I'm often dead-on right with my perceptions. Based totally on looks? Nah, but it figures in.

This is a fun string.

posted August 05, 2004 02:18 PM         

so paras, I'm echoing others here... when do we get to see you?

Speaking of Saggie/Scorps... I just wanted to second what Nackie said- Pidaua, your brother is indeed HOT.

posted August 05, 2004 02:30 PM         

Paras, thank you for you're kind analysis You gotta gift to see / feel too. Can't wait to see your pic.

Lioneye - gorgeous, Trillian's right about the leo mane!

I have more digi pics from our company party but they're not that great, will put em up when I have time since they're the only online ones I got right now!

Bye for now,
Sheaa

Oh hi Harpyr! *waving*

I never like myself in pictures. I always say I'm not photogenic. I look better in 3D, I think.

I've gotta get me a digi-cam!

Yes, there are many lovely ladies here. (and a few perty darn beautiful chillins too!)

posted August 05, 2004 06:00 PM         

Oh Pidua... what can I say? This is the fourth replacement of this paragraph; I suppose there is nothing I can say. I can anticipate your reactions to everything I've thought of, and none of them are good. Though it's not my preferred resolution, I suppose I will just have to let it be.

Hey, I've got a neat idea. I think I'll actually draw a few of you. I've been looking for good art material, and here it is. Muahahaha...

OK, I'm going to look at the new faces now.

And Proxieme... you scare me.

Good luck with your drawings.

Harpyr,

As always, thank you for the compliment of my brother. He's a cool dude and they are expecting another pee wee in February. That will make a Scorp Sun / Aqua Moon (my sis in law), a Sag Sun / Scorp moon, my bro, Scorp Sun / Taurus moon nephew and Aqua Sun...??? Moon newbie. LOL...I'm betting the new one will have a Sag moon.

Lioneye,

You look great and as I had imagined. I think I told you that before on the other LL photo site. You remind of the pictures of my Leo grandmother in her youth. She also had that very glamourous appearance- very Leo and regal.

and Sheaa....you look like a model in that work group photo - what a stunner!
