(Can y’all tell that I’m just now getting caught up with this thread?)
No worries … I knew you probably meant it that way, I was just tired of some of the false modesty I’d been seeing. I mean, modesty is good, but there’s only so many times I can see someone write, “well, here’s me, hope I didn’t break the camera” and then the photo is stunning. Cripes.
Muuuch better. Now, just shave the beard entirely… oops, sorry, didn’t mean for my fantasy to intrude on your reality!
Me, too. Heh.
I had no idea until just now that you’re a girl. Which gave me the idea that maybe I’ve been mispronouncing your user name – is it actually “jake line” or more like “jacqueline?”
I’ll second fetus: congrats!
You know you deserved it … tryin’ to make me scream, and not even in a good way…
I opened it and got everything but a picture. Big band cover of Van Halen, a buddy list or something, but just a red X for a pic… Not the most flattering shot.
No, and I didn’t have any touble at all. Wait, are you joking? I can’t tell. Anyway, nice pictures Carlyjay. You’re very pretty… though in a dangerous sort of way. Like, I wouldn’t want to be in the same room alone with you for fear of bodily harm. I don’t why I get that vibe either. It’s sort of like… like how tigers are beautiful, you know? But you wouldn’t want to actually touch one for fear of having your face ripped off. Or maybe you’re sweet as sugar-- who knows? Heed not my words, as I lost my mind sometime ago.
Might as well jump on the myspace whoring bandwagon too. I always forget that I have one. Meh. You can send me a message and be all “Hey, you’re that guy from SDMB!” and I’ll say “Yeah! And you’re that other person from SDMB!” Then the awkward silence will ensue as we struggle to find something to talk about. Yay.
Nope. I got nuttin’. Nary a pop-up wormed its way into my browser, and nothing tried to install itself on my system. Sure, it loads slowly because, after all, it’s a MySpace page, but nothing unusual.
Wow, guess it was just me, then … weird! I ran VirusScan on my entire system, and everything’s fine. Sorry for the false alarm, everyone (especially Carlyjay) – I’d just been happily looking at pictures, and suddenly WHAM! Guess it was just one of those weird interwebs things.
(And no, I wasn’t joking. That would have been a pretty lame joke!)
Black text with black background pictures make baby jesus cry
Anyway, I’m also on myspace as well if you’re looking for more awkwardness. And join Bear’s SDMB myspace group if you’re looking for a special kind of group awkwardness.
Pic 1. I mostly wanted to show that one because, of course, what’s in the background. My friend took that picture in her basement, I’m never photogenic in her pics.
And to burn that horror from your minds, here’s me at grad.
Actually, you’re completely right. It’s pronounced Jake-Line. In person, most of my friends do call me Jake. That is one thing that I find so interesting about these threads. People you thought were guys are gals, and vice versa. Along the same lines, Asimovian and I met through a BBS and I had a “I didn’t realize you’re just a touch darker than me” moment when first I met him.
::fans herself:: Whew, it is getting warm in here, or is it just me? Thank you, if6was9. You totally made my week!
