Hmmmm. Okay by me. There are a few similarities…operative word being ‘few’…but they’re there.

Let’s see. I’m thinking early- to mid-20s, on the petite side. Of course, very active and bubbly. Chestnut or blonde hair.

Close? Or pathetically off-base?

By the way, am I the only one that thinks “Hypergirl” would be a cool name for a superhero?

a lighter shade of nocturne? Since you’re just approaching night…

Hehe, change that to “trying to pretend he’s still a young guy …” and you’d be pretty close to reality.

I’m thinking small with pointy ears, hangs around in the forest dressed in green tights giving travellers a hard time: telling impossible riddles, answering questions with questions, giving horrible directions (“you’re going where? nah, you can’t get there from here. you have to go back where you started from and try again”)

Hmmmmm. As maternal as a 23 year-old can be, I guess. 🙂

For a lot of dopers, I don’t even picture them as human. Okay, that sounds mean, but for some, I imagine some pretty strange things:  
xizor: I don’t know why, but I think of a really cool robot.  
Lizard: a gecko, like the one I just flicked off the screen door.  
Gunslinger: the Marlboro Man  
Jack Batty: a cross between Dracula and Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas. He always has a bowl of Potato Stroganoff Hamburger Helper nearby.  
Whammo: Wasn’t there a toy manufacturer called Whammo?  
dropzone: a FedEx parcel drop-off box.  
tatertot: a crispy, golden brown tatertot.  
UncleBeer: Homer Simpson

Thanks for the description xizor - Mischievous forest sprite,hmm?? Oh and just green tights?!?

I’ve read too much star wars to see you as anything other than a colour changing, humanoid reptile with a pony tail! How are the pheromones?

Add my little french fry arms and you’re right on target, Audrey. 🙂

I see **Ayesha** as having a long mane of blonde hair, curvy figure and a michievious sparkle in her eyes. I also picture her as a flamboyant dresser.

I think that **Audrey** would look like me, but more so. That’s a compliment, btw. Think the younger, prettier version of Tracy. Oh, and me the real me, not me in my potato persona.

Whenever I think of **Dry** , I think of a japanimation guy, with funky hair. You know, I wouldn’t have to imagine him if he’d just send a dang picture.

Actually, this is _exactly_ how I was thinking of you, Green Bean! To compensate for my depressing predictability with Green Bean, I’m gonna abandon the obvious choice of _Homer=the Simpson patriarch_ and say that, to me, Homer will always be a fat guy with no arms or legs flying over a fence.

Allow me to explain - First I had no idea how old you are (12 yrs younger than me) and for some reason, when I here the name Audrey, the first thing that pops into my head is “Audrey Meadows”. Also you were the first person to acknowledge my juvenile Hamburger Helper references - I just felt so loved {sniff}.

And, Hey guys . . .
