[QUOTE=Monstre] Hey, you changed your username! Sheesh, fall asleep one time while reading the boards and see what you missā€¦ * * * Iā€™ve posted some other pics to older incarnations of the photo thread. But hereā€™s a new one I took recently and posted when setting up a MySpace profile: [Self-made mug shot](http://garnet.acns.fsu.edu/~rmyers/pics/bob1.jpg). It follows the ā€œEnough With the Goofy Fake Smilesā€ theory of self-portraiture mentioned previously by **Clockwork and Candy** [/QUOTE] Where the heck have you been? I havenā€™t seen your username in ages. However, you donā€™t need to smile if you donā€™t want toā€“rowr. Looking good as ever! \*\*LunaV, \*\* youā€™re adorable, and so is the fellow with you in that second picture. \*\*Ale, \*\* youā€™re very cute as well, and you look like a fun guy to hang around with. ---

Jesusā€¦ quite the lovefest in here! Sadly, I donā€™t have any pictures posted on the 'net. Too bad- I am really great-looking! šŸ˜ƒ Wait a minuteā€¦ paging **Rico**!

[QUOTE=Clockwork And Candy] That is _Indubitably_ a great shirt. But evidence in your photographs also leads me to believe that you might be a scenester/trend-whore. And for that my brain is telling me I must hate you butā€¦ you come here (SDMB), so you canā€™t be all bad. Iā€™m rather conlicted. ā˜¹ [/quote] Now you watch it, you whippersnapper! (You are still in high school, Iā€™m assuming, and four years younger than I am - I am entitled to call you a whippersnapper). Try not to read too much into two photos of someone youā€™ve never met before. I wouldnā€™t know the scene from the scenery Iā€™m chewing in those pictures - in which Iā€™m playing mostly folk music, which is decidedly Uncool - and trends are those things that I watch fly by as I look on from the sidelines in bemusement. Donā€™t worry, Iā€™m sure youā€™d dig me. As for you, youā€™re a cool-sounding kid, but lighten up! I enjoy Tom Lehrerā€™s ā€œThe Elements Song,ā€ I study plants, ecology, biology and environmental sciences, I like to write songs about cars that run on happy thoughts and chocolate. Iā€™m a geek. And Iā€™ll believe you about Hot Topic if youā€™ll take my word on this, mmmkay? By the way, I like your hair. Floppy. Besides, would a hipster or trend-whore allow himself to be photographed like [this](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e400/grolby/goofybikegreg.jpg)? > [@](#): > > Yes, but I could be your young boy-toy. Itā€™d be such a status symbol. Think of the doors it would open. Youā€™d be likeā€¦ like Ivana Trump, 'cept without all the ugly. šŸ™‚ Not to butt in on your conversation, butā€¦ actually, you know what? I donā€™t think I need to say anything here :D. ---

[QUOTE=DianaG] Dude, you started it. šŸ˜› [This](http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h234/wisdomy/diana.jpg) is from last December. Friend cut out to protect the innocent. My daughter took [this](http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h234/wisdomy/9dfa47f3.jpg) a couple of months ago, and says itā€™s an excellent example of Momface. [/QUOTE] Thatā€™s your mom face? My momā€™s mom face looks more like [this](http://www.medeco.com/aloa/images/gunny.jpg) on [this person](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v449/frenchified/Baby.jpg). Only instead of telling you youā€™re maggot scum, she says, ā€œI am very disappointed in your behavior. I think you are capable of better. You may now explain yourself and I will listen.ā€ Or words to that effect. Mostly she looks happy, though, but then sheā€™s not really in mom mode, because my momā€™s pretty cool. Anyway, [this is me](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v449/frenchified/sarah.jpg). Senior photo, so itā€™s three years old, but I look pretty much the same. Just have a different haircut. And the baby in the above picture? Thatā€™s me too. ---
