Just before I restart my computer, can anyone say what they see in my name? 🙂 (spent last five hours typing up a long list, and this infernal machine’s been on too long) ---

**xtisme** - I misread this as xmastime the first time I saw it, and s/he’s been covered in tinsel and red christmas tree balls every since. **Scylla** - A lovely young woman with long red hair ( so much for first impressions…) **Tenatcle Monster** looks exactly like [this](http://ghastly.keenspace.com/images/cast/glemph-1.jpg) **Left Hand of Dorkness** look like [this.](http://elfonlyinn.keenspace.com/dorkness.html) ---

> [@misstee](#): > > **myrnajean** is probably not as old as I imagine her, but here goes. > **myrajean** is a little old lady who dyes her hair silver, only it comes out with more of a bluish-purple tint. In the late evening she gets prank calls from silly teenage girls who say this " Myrna, your hair is purple" . Aaaaaaugh! I’m griefstricken!! Thats what happens when you get stuck with a name from the 40’s! No, I’m just barely 40 years old, auburn hair, green eyes, and I look pretty much just like I did in my highschool ID, except for the extra 25 pounds I added. Since I started at 125, most of it I needed anyway. ---

> [@myrnajean](#): > > No, I’m just barely 40 years old. I knew you weren’t as old as I pictured you to be. **cactus waltz** Female, brown hair in her late 30’s, likes to dance, but doesn’t have a regular dancing partner. Likes to Bar-B-Que on the weekends. **screech-owl** Also female. Can’t carry a tune in a bucket, but loves to sing anyway. She’s great to party with- likes bud heavy. ---

> [@misstee](#): > > **screech-owl** > > Also female. Can’t carry a tune in a bucket, but loves to sing anyway. She’s great to party with- likes bud heavy. Yup to female. Um, I have a Master’s Degree in Music - vocal emphasis. My lungs are more like a keg than a bucket. Sometimes a partier, but I prefer Guinness - anything I can drink by the slice is a good solid beer. ---

Note to self: learn to do vanity searches… Okay. **Jaade** has long, wavy auburn hair and a beautiful smile. **Peritrochoid** is a big goofy kid with a lopsided grin and laughing eyes **mipiace** is a stunning red head with a major attitude that shows in her face (and that is a compliment). **phlospher** is a lot younger than I thought, but very smart, wears basically what his wife picks out for him, along with a semi amused expression. Oh, and you can see how crazy he is about **Mrs. Phlosphr** every time he looks at her. Oh, yes. MORE MINMEI PICS. And, what’s up with the baby prospect? Update, please. 😃 **Skip Magic** Is just as I always pictured him; tall, blond and handsome, with great shoulders, and **auntie em** is smart, funny, beautiful, dark, and has the BEST hair. **if6was9** has long brown hair, incredible blue green eyes, and a great butt. 😉 ---

_sniff_ so many pages and **Dangermom** gets mentioned all over the place, but what about li’l Danger_gene_?!?! Not a one! Me am soooooo lonely! And it occurs to me that **Furt** is a small, yet staggeringly healthy man, possessing unnatural quietness. He is usually found creeping around multinational data-complexiopoli at twilight wearing black-felt shadow-work gear and selling his skills to the highest (and shadiest) bidder. Hence the lurking (yeah, like I don’t lurk, f’sure!!!). ---
