Thank you, thank you, thank you \*\* TheOnlySaneOne, Khadaji, \*\* and \*\* Raz\*\* for the compliments. You’ve made my day.

And I have to agree with the people who say that Dopers are an attractive bunch. Goodgoogitymoo.

Howdy.

Just so you know, “Howdy.” is too short of a message to post.

Hehe, Treviathan, if I was the type to call people “hot” I would say that about you. And I’m not just saying it because you were complimentary to me. It’s just that I am habitually too shy to compliment people. Tee.

“Hot” is just a weird word. So you are… attractive. Hee.

(I unintentionally ended one paragraph with Tee and another with Hee. What am I on?!)

I am too scatterbrained to be posting in these topics as I forget who everyone is pretty much instantly. 😃 Infinite trouble recognising a face. Someone had really pretty hair a few pages back… acrossthesea, I believe. I love bright hair. 😃

I’ll stop writing now before I embarrass myself further. Nyuu!

Here’s a couple I had taken professionally a few years ago. My SO calls them my ‘Playboy pictures’.

Some good pictures! I enjoyed all 6 pages. 😛

I’m new as you can see.  
What a great way to start; by sharing my physical appearance. I’m 19 years old, live in the U.S., and attend college full-time, for enjoyment.

Try not to judge----the real beauty is inside. 😃

This was taken 6 months ago, and is the only photo I have of myself uploaded to the net. Oh, and I love motocross. My first bike.

[This](http://www.kat22.com/londope_2004_01_24/images/34.jpg) is me. Looking unusually thoughtful and coherent, considering that this was taken at a Dopefest.

Welcome, **LavaRella**! There’s usually a thread or two floating around where people can introduce themselves. :: shamelessly points to sig file ::

Uh-oh. If you start saying that I have a great personality, I am so going to jump off a bridge.

Two reasons for posting to this thread:

The age curve needs to be skewed **up** , and

More proof that its not just the hotties that post to this thread

An [OldBroad](http://www.thefoxworthys.com/boat_pages/marysail-1.htm) where she’s happiest.

And even though nobody really wants to see yet _more_ pictures of me… [Here](http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/redguitargrl883/album?.dir=/4f66) are a couple of me in my new hat being all oh-so-emo and not looking at the camera. 😛

Oh, so _that’s_ what you look like! I’ve met your kids, I’ve met your SO, so all I was missing at the Dopefests wuz yew! It’s very nice to see you. 🙂 (Your SO’s got ugly stuck on him like a cheap suit on a pimp, so it’s nice to know your adorable kids get their looks from you. ;))

Every morning I find post-it notes from **auntie em** telling me the exact same thing. She once even made me a waffle with the syrup spelling out the same message.

“If I’m so lucky,” I asked her, “how come I didn’t get pancakes?”
