how ppl in babbleland picture you?
I think i automatically create a vague picture in my mind of what i think people look like...not intentionally, though; it's automatic. (like when you read a book..you picture the characters in your head, right?) do others here do that? like i will assign them a hair color in my mind, etc. and then when i see a picture of them it is a very strange process integrating that new picture of them in your mind when you read their posts..it is almost disconcerting..i wonder if i should ever post my picture..will ppl prefer the vision and familiarity they have had in their heads for months on end? or will i feel like a stranger to them b/c they have to replace the picture they have of me with a new one? gawd i'm rambling today.:) egads.
i wonder how ppl picture me? anyone want to share? i'm curious.:) or any thoughts on anything.....i'm listening............

I don't know. Red highlights, at least. Trendy clothes. Nail art. Large eyes. I don't know. It's just a bunch of impressions, not a portrait.

hmmm..that's so interesting! thanks for sharing. actually my hair is naturally a dirty blonde/light brown color, but i love to do temporary red dyes in my hair..it matches my warm complexion.as for the clothes, i do enjoy trendy, but have a basic bluejeans/sweater/boots outfit on right now. god only knows what i would buy clothingwise if i had unlimited funds to do so.:-)
good guess on the large eyes! right on. they're hazel...i don't wear eye makeup though. only lipstick/lip gloss basically.
concerning the nails...uh...i hate nail polish...used to love it but i'm sort of anti-chemical now, lol....although i do use chemicals in my life, i've eliminated some of the unnecessary ones.
ppl tell me i look like brooke shields, for a little more info. (someone also told me i look like linda blair in the exorcist...oh boy...lol)

P.S. I had you as a brunette. Funny, how the brain just seems to create something, without any intent to do so.

lol:) so much for getting everyone's guesses now that i've told what i look like.:(you pictured me as a brunette? cool! i don't know why i like that. i think i actually picture most of the ppl here as brunettes...although when i first interacted with you on this site i pictured you as a blond lol.:) i'm used to envisioning you as a redhead now, don't worry.:)
<Funny, how the brain just seems to create something, without any intent to do so.
i know...something to ponder!
alesta:)
p.s. to anyone reading, appearances are unimportant to me. i was just curious about this topic.

hi phillipa sweetie,:)
ok, i need to get a digital camera as soon as things are less stressful. may just get a disposable one...if i don't post pic here, i will definitely babblemail one. promise.:) (i'll probably post it here, though. although i am a little nervous about having my pic out there...i think it's pretty safe for me, though.
take care missy,:)
