Inspired by Diowe’s character sketch of Audal, I think it would be fun if we all did sketches for EVERYONE! It would be a nice exercise for creating clearer descriptions of our own characters, no?
I have the clearest picture of Lotheus in my mind, so here goes (I probably have it all wrong ;))
Lo:
>Short, smoky black hair with flecks of white
>Piercing, squinty, dark blue eyes—tend to look black in dim lighting
>Strong set jaw, yet a narrow face
>Long and lanky build
>Tallest person here; about 6’0†or 6’1â€
>Big feet
>Thin mouth that spreads into a witty, crooked smile
>Low cheekbones
>Not a large nose, but not a round button nose either; pointy
>I can't decide; glasses or no glasses? I'm going with just reading glasses—simple black ones
>Relaxed almost flippant posture
>Dresses on the professional side. Not like suits everyday, but just not slacker clothes
> Married? Kids? No clue. I want to say no to the latter though
Hobbies other than writing:
>Watching football
>Jazz music
>Reading the newspaper while sipping on an Irish cream latte from Gloria Jeans, no the whipped cream or sprinkles
>Politics
>Being outspoken on views of politics
>Annoying others due to tendency to be outspoken about views on politics
:rof3: :rof3:
That was entertaining
-
uh-oh.. that was good. Try me! I think I've left some clues.
-
Oh, man! I'm so interesting!! Oh, and no offense, Chelsea, but WRITING IS NOT A HOBBY!!!! :wink: Now I'm going to have to post a real picture. You'll be so disappointed. I'm gonna find a picture of a guy that looks just like this...
-
It would be fun to post all of our pictures sometime.
Not that I want to go first or anything. ;D
-

Not a hobby? What, do you mean it's work? Well, yeah, but you knew what I meant. :wink:
And I forgot something:
olive colored skin
-
waghhh...what about mine??? No WAY am I ever posting a photo. Only Patrick knows my secret identity (oh and Diowe) but that's how it's going to stay, becuase google tells all.
-
google tells all hmm? I don't get it?
-
OK, I have a picture I use for instant messaging at work. I'll share it. Hmm. You know there is no way to upload pictures to this forum. I think it might be turned off. Hold on while I see.
Oh, and Chelc, you were so dead on with Loth's character sketch, especially the part about the Irish Creme Latte.
-
google tells all hmm? I don't get it?
If you knew my name and you googled me you'd find a picture of me, where I work and all kinds of goodies. None very interesting!
(Patrick if you try that and post the picture that comes up...the t-shirt deal is off!!! But if you're curious, prepare yourself to be very disappointed.)
-
Pat what about the politics part? That was my favorite. And you're next btw >:D
-
jw, funny, I wish I had thought of that. But I didn't. But you might as well post it since I've already seen it. Or, you can post it in the beta testers area, that is private and only other beta testers can view it. Any regulars which are not beta testers, just let me know and I'll grant you access.
Anyway, here is mine.
-
Loth's politics? Hmmm? Not a subject that comes up very often.
-
Darn. I was taking him as the political activist type. Phooey. >:(
-
I don't care if YOU"VE seen it. Yikes..it's the WORST picture of me ever. I am not a hunchback, although that picture would certainly make one think so.
I could do better than that if you give us a photo section in the beta testers. that's fine. Immaturity has preserved me...I do not look my age, nor do I act it.
right, Patrick? :yes:..(nod yes, Patrick...there's a t-shirt at stake here).
If you want a picture of me up there, you'd better do better than that!!!
-
Honestly, I figured that picture of you had to be several years old. It's not?
This is the picture I use for work instant messaging. So far, no one has gotten the hint to just leave me alone.
-
So now that there already is a pic of Pat on here...who should I sketch next? ???
-
Oh, does that picture really tell you a lot?
-
well, it did mess my vision up a bit :(
I thought you had sandy blonde hair. And longer than that.
-
:( I'm too boring.. you don't want to sketch me. :( :( :( :(
-
Well, now that you have said that, I am compelled to try describing you ;D
Later though...when I'm not tired (omg it's a miracle! I'm TIRED!)
-
Beta board???
No fair! I won't get to see because I was a good girl and stuck to writing instead.
-
Nice hair Pat.
;D
-
If you knew my name and you googled me you'd find a picture of me, where I work and all kinds of goodies. None very interesting!
Ah but I do and I did. My daughter and I both agree that you look like Ann Hathaway. It's a lovely pic.
-
Ann Hathaway? OOooh. Cool. I want to see now ;D
-
Ah but I do and I did. My daughter and I both agree that you look like Ann Hathaway. It's a lovely pic.
Wow! you are good friend and even better liar!
Ann Hathaway? In my dreams! More like Sandy Duncan. Most of you are too young to know who she is. But heck if i did not hear that every single day when I was in high school. One idiot even tried it as a pick up line. (oh..yeah..it worked. Four years later when I finally got over it).
The worst part? I even have her same squeaky voice.
So forget my profile..i just did it.
Short, not slim, not fat, glasses. brown hair. Large smile. Always talking. Never in a skirt. Drives a very old volvo unless I can get the good car away from hubby. never seen in a skirt.
In fact, i really relate to Diowe's monkey. We could be twins.
Did it fit your vision of me? Ann Hathaway? NOT. What is she 5'8. I'm just scraping 5'2.
-
I can get the good car away from hubby. never seen in a skirt.
Who is never seen in a skirt, you or your hubby?
You know who people always say I look like? I can't understand it, but I've been told I look like Paul McCartney. Many times. But don't get your hopes up ladies, I think these people must have been blind and drunk.
-
I'd take a comparison to Paul McCartney over Sandy Duncan...even for me! (and old as Paul is, I'd take him too. He's available no?)
P.S. neither my husband nor I wear skirts often.
-
I'm sure we are all curious to what Pat looks like. Using our good friend Paul, I created a (very rough) representation of what he could look like.
(Hope this works)
-
Wow, I do look like Paul. I should have a serious talk with my mother.
-

Wow, Patrick, I thought you said you were 40... ;)
-
hmm. yes. a serious talk with your mother Patrick.... and perhaps an exorcist.... were you aware your head's on backwards?
-
See if this works...
-
Hah! Now you illusions are SHATTERED!!! Muhahahahah >:D
-
Hey, that avatar was dead on. Is that you or Patrick?
-
Hey, that avatar was dead on. Is that you or Patrick?
Hmm, I think I'm offended.
-
OK, I have one. It was taken a while ago. It shows the state I was in after waiting 6 months for replies on my first ever batch of query letters.
Give me a few minutes to track it down...
-
You know how it can be, running to the mailbox 12 times a day, just to discover nothing (or worse, a rejection). This is what it did to me, and is the primary reason I came up with QueryTracker.
-
Why are you in a straight jacket?
And it looks like you cropped some person's head off and stuck it onto another picture. Hmmmm
-
My goodness! You just don't know who is really posting a real picture or not.
Here is one of me... ;D
-
I can vouch for mine and Lo's pics. They be real.
Do frogs drink coffee?
-
I love the effect of the fly, Java ;D
-
"Excuse me, waiter. There's a fly in my coffee."
-
And the award for coolest frog in the history of frogs goes to...
(opens envelope, gasps)
Miss J, do come up on stage and accept your trophy >> :award:
-
Can I hop on the stage instead?
-
:rof3:
-
Can I hop on the stage instead?
I really think this post was to exploit the award emote.
What'd you think?
-
I was meaning the award post, not my own.
:crazy:
-
Can I hop on the stage instead?
Of course. How could I deny a winner?!
In lieu of carpet, we will lay down the red lillipads for your path to the stage.
(P.S. Re: Trophy emote: Yep!)

Oh my! What to wear, what to wear.
-
OK, I was asked about the straight-jacket. Read the attached, it should explain things. Maybe.
-
The story behind this, several years ago Loth and I created a wacky online store. It was just for fun and we would have :censored: if anyone actually wanted to buy any of it. Here are a few more.
-
And, we had our own line of t-shirts back then too. Here they are (that's my daughter doing the modeling. She made me obscure her face because she was so embarrassed being associated with us.)
-
Well, I guess I might as well post this one, too.
-
:rolf: :rolf: :rolf: :rolf:
Funny..
But strangely scary at the same time.
hehehe
-
Oh, man that's good to see again! The cremation kit was shot in my dining room while I was working on it. Good times.
-
Wow you two...that's hysterical. How long have you guys known each other anyway?
-
As I said before, I forget which thread, we have been writing together for about 19 years. My wife likes to call him my "second wife," though he doesn't get the side benefits. I MEANT INSURANCE!!! Pat was actually one of the groomsman at my wedding, but he should have been the best man. I know HE would have thrown me a bachelor party. And I was the best man at his divorce. :rolf:

Nice save there, Lo

Well, I don't want people getting the wrong idea. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

My sarcasm has been all but ignored, Chels, thanks. Thanks for destroying my dreams of sarcasmness.
-
sarcasm? YOU?! HA!!
-
Wow, you're mean. I just said I was kidding. :'(
-
Loth, you and Patrick are psychotic genuses! I loved the ads you have. The home cremation kit is my favorite!
Okay, I want to sketch GG.
GG is long and slender, standing at 5'9", with black hair that hits her waist.
She wears high heels when ever she can, and loves to shop. (When she has $) She at least likes to window shop with Lege.
She's a cat lover.
Slightly excentric, she does have conversations with people in her head, she is great fun to be around.
She is looking for that right guy to come along, who looks like her Gabe BTW.
She loves chocolate coffee ice cream.
Loves her brother.
Plays the lottery on occasion.
Drives a blue sedan.
Loves the enviroment.
Not a fan of G.W.Bush.
All around good person.
How'd I do?
-
Pretty close, except the last one. That was WAAAYYY off. ;)-
-
Wow, you're mean. I just said I was kidding. :'(
Suck it up princess :wag:
-
You didn't notice my blue winky in the last post.
-

Okay, I want to sketch GG.
GG is long and slender, standing at 5'9", with black hair that hits her waist. 5'7" and brown hair, but it used to hit my waist and probably will again...I've been lazy about cutting it and am thinking of letting it grow out
She wears high heels when ever she can, and loves to shop. (When she has $) >:D I only wear high heels when....I don't wear high heelsShe at least likes to window shop with Lege.
She's a cat lover.
Slightly excentric, she does have conversations with people in her head, she is great fun to be around.
She is looking for that right guy to come along, who looks like her Gabe BTW.either emorexic lead singers (with Gabe like looks) or teddy bear types need apply.
She loves chocolate coffee ice cream. ;D
Loves her brother. ;DWe just had lunch and went hiking today!!!
Plays the lottery on occasion.
Drives a blue sedan.Silver SUV
Loves the enviroment.
Not a fan of G.W.Bush.
All around good person.hehe I think Loth's kinda right about that last one >:D
How'd I do?
Wow. That's....startlingly close.
-
So like the silver SUV better. Mine's white.
So now Chelc.
Chelc is 5'4 1/2" and bounces off the walls.
She has short brown hair.
She drives her teachers crazy with hysterical comments, but gets away with them because she's so smart and cute.
She drives her mom's car when ever she can.
Her hobbies, besides writing and QT, are hanging out with friends, especially Bri, and going to the mall.
She likes watching scarry movies and scaring the pee out of her friends.
She is loyal to a fault, and would go the extra mile without thinking about it for someone she loves.
Oh yeah, if the oportunity presented itself, she would indeed make out with Michael Johns!

haha, you're pretty good!!
-
Dang! :rant: I almost put 5'7" but I din't because you remind me of a good friend of mine and she's 5' 4 1/2". That's why I went that route. Next time, just instincts!
Who's next? I have pnemonia, so I have all day to sit around and play on QT. Seeing as how I can't breath well enough to do anything else. Well, I guess I could work on my MS.
-
pneumonia?! oh, poor thing! feel better soon!
-
Thanks Joan. I can't spell worth anything, and I'm too lazy to look it up.
-
Thanks Joan. I can't spell worth anything, and I'm too lazy to look it up.
ha! i think fluid-filling lungs is a pretty good excuse to spell badly.
<cone> there's spellcheck here </cone>
-
<cone> there's spellcheck here </cone>
but my computer's slow, and it takes like 3 minutes for spellcheck to come up. I can look up all the words by then. See, lazy.
-
well, i never use it, myself, which is pretty evident with a very very quick survey of my posts.
shameful, really, since i tutor SAT prep! luckily, i already took the stupid tests, decades ago, and so now i can misspell and misgrammify as i please...
-
We're not really sticklers for spelling I don't think. No mixing business with pleasure! :wink:
-
Good. I do spell correctly in my books, if that counts.
