I spray coloured my hair pink for a Breast Cancer fund raiser. It was fabulous.... made me feel so happy. Wish I had done it when I was at college and it didn't matter .... but a girl in the office I am now has pink streaks ... but she is a lot younger

Oh, but it so comes in handy for surprise pictorials. Even planned ones, come to think of that.

I'm suddenly reminded of this Calvin and Hobbes cartoon - Calvin's dad pretended that a disembodied hand (his own under his shirt, actually) was trying to strangle him, just as he was about to tell Calvin a bedtime story about it. The poor boy dropped asleep promptly.

Before the chat skwerlz come out to get me, let me say that a second look at that photo makes me think that Fea's trying to reach her nose with her tongue, but doing it wrongly somewhere. Maybe her eyes should be looking down instead of up.

Do you know what sort of dye she used? I'd love to play with shades of blue...

Sleepy Ranger · 07-11-2007, 03:41 PM

Since it's been a while, here's a rather recent (2 days ago) photo of me. You can even see my guitar on my bed in the background! My flat cap is about in the bottom left corner, see if you can spot it.

Knight of Gondor · 07-12-2007, 12:54 PM

I've sent this to Tigerlily, but she hasn't posted it yet. It's a more recent picture with better background.

mormegil · 07-16-2007, 12:03 AM

It's been a while and the family has changed a bit. Well no new kids yet but those two I do have grow quickly so I figured I update the picture.

Kath · 07-16-2007, 07:40 AM

Ah morm you have a gorgeous family.

Beleg Cuthalion · 07-16-2007, 08:14 PM

That pic of you makes me think of Brett Hull.

The Only Real Estel · 07-17-2007, 11:59 AM

Wow nice spot Beleg. That is pretty close..

Nogrod · 07-17-2007, 12:04 PM

Your daughters are just adorable Morm!

Mine are a bit older already but I remember when they looked that pretty, fragile and innocent...

Enjoy your days now as the times will change!

It will get better by the years, though...

For a moment there, Clementine's and Klaus' pose and poise made me think of Galadriel and Celeborn. Then I dismissed the thought as unfair to your gorgeous dogs. RAWR!

You and the Mrs. are pretty good looking dawgs too.

The Might · 07-30-2007, 07:27 AM

Well, guess it's time for a little update, since I have cut my long hair two months ago and I didn't upload any new picture.

Anyway, here's me in Spain:

The vacation was really fun, and I very much enjoyed their beer. (if you don't know Spanish, then I can tell you my T-shirt says "Save water, drink beer"

Legate of Amon Lanc · 07-30-2007, 03:14 PM

Hmm, I was going to say that you look completely different without the long hair, then after a while, interestingly, I came to a 180° turn and came to the conclusion that you actually don't look as differently.

You probably could do a commercial with the beer, at least the photo gives the feeling that it's a shot from a TV commercial... only it cannot be seen what beer is that which you are holding... (though whatever it was, I don't believe it will hold up to Gambrinus... or Radegast, for that matter!)

I can't think of anything to say to Knight of Ni, er, ah, Gondor and Sleepy Ranger and TM, so I'll leave it at 'keemo sabe' (and that's a real trademark) until I know you better.

Actually, I had thought that it was Ancalagon from chat who reminded me of Matthew McConaughey, esp because of the dragons in "Reign of Fire." You don't suppose that oblo and anca are doppelgangers do you? Do virtual doppelgangers exist? Maybe they've cancelled each other out and that's why they're not in chat?

Di, I really like those set of pictures...you look very nice. Also, I look forward to seeing your real tattoo, when you do get it.

Speaking of tattoos, about time I show off mine, which I've had for over a month. The other pics are of me after I had my hair remodeled:

Oddwen · 08-02-2007, 09:33 PM

I have a few pictures that I took a few weeks ago and am fairly happy with - thought blast them 'round the graveyard.

Here and Here.

Also, here are some cute duckies.

Orominuialwen · 08-03-2007, 12:12 AM

Although this picture is rapidly approaching one year old, it's still much more accurate (and flattering!) than the last one I posted of myself. It was taken by my best friend's aunt last fall for my senior picture. Unfortunately, it got lost after I submitted it for the yearbook, so I ended up with the picture from my ID card in there instead.

Thinlómien · 08-03-2007, 04:31 PM

This summer I was in Berlin and I saw penguins there.

That's not a particularly good picture of me, but the penguins are, of course, the main thing. (Though, I see, my sister failed to zoom at them...

)

There couldn't be a more fitting backdrop for your picture.

That's not a bad idea actually, I'll keep it in mind.

I'm getting a real rose tattoo sometime this month (that's the plan anyway). Then, a cat, and then, Daffy, then a map of Middle-earth all over my back and a Silmaril on my stomach. You may decide for yourself where I stopped being serious there.

I think the proceeds go towards building a TARDIS for Rustle T Davis to use and bring back all the old Doctors for some random reason.

Mithalwen · 08-04-2007, 04:24 AM

Lommy's picture reminds me of a recent TV advert where this little girl (much younger than Lom, probably about 4 years old) has a beloved toy penguin and when her parents ask her what she wants to be when she grows up, she replies "a penguin".

But other leaders there were too, who offered help to Gondor; Thinlómien of the Far South, with her penguins, was one, though the histories speak not her name.

Thinlómien · 08-13-2007, 12:39 PM
