New what are you

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

New what are you

New what are you wearing thread.

The old ones kind of died out, and I thought they were fun, so I'm going to attempt to revive them :D

I also kind of forgot what you guys said you looked like, and am too lazy to hunt down one of the threads that says that :D I was also curious what you guys thought I looked like (if  you don't remember :D) Hint: I do not have a mowhawk, though I want one really bad. I haven't got green hair either...too bad :(

I always thought you looked tall and slim, with long, straight, dark hair and dark eyes. Very pretty, too. I don't know if that's a compliment or not, though, cause I've never seen you. :D

I picture you tall, with a brown ponytail.

You are all wrong!!! Mwhahahaha! Would it help if I said my screen name is totally ironic? Never mind, I'll just tell you: I have light brown hair with natural blonde highlights all over and golden skin. I have blue eyes that are sometimes green and rarely amber. I have full lips that are really narrow that I hate, and a long nose that I've been told looks roman. I have super long legs that have a tan line from my basketball shorts and a knee brace on the right leg. I am really tall, 5 foot 6, in fact. I'm thirteen years old and wear glasses (that one you guys got right :D) I can see why you would think I had dark hair and skin, but I'm a big fan of irony :D Then again, my tan makes my skin look pretty dark in the summer.... :D:D:D

Ahaha! Thank you so much, R~D~. That's one of the best compliments I've ever gotten. :D You were more or less right. ;)

@ Brynne: I usually think of you with reddish brown hair, like sometimes in my head it's red and sometimes it's brown. Also I always imagine you wearing sort of regal clothes, because of the whole magic carpet thing. *is looked at very strangely*

@ R~D~: I imagine you with long brown hair, very well combed, and braces (I got that right, at least ;) ). And very clear skin. And for some reason the name "Robyn" comes to mind when I think of you... dunno why. *is looked at strangely again*

@ Koffee: I should've guessed you'd be an irony aficianda. :)

Aw, thank Lena, and yes, I am tall, but not that tall.  And when I described Brynne, I didn't mean typical.  I meant normal.  (not saying you look like everyone else,)  I mean, you know, just a normal teenager.

Oh, and I'm sure everyone knows what this means, but what does umlaut mean???  I'm not sure if it is a real word or not, but I don't feel like looking it up. Thanks for answering all my questions.

The two dotty things over the "O" in my name. These are umlauts: ¨ Ï Ö ä etc. it's a kind of accent mark.

Gosh, you are tall. I'm only 5 foot 3... Okay, so only a few inches off, but it still seems tall. O.O

I am wearing a dark blue sweatshirt from a Gus Macker basketball tournament, and a pink tanktop under that, and a pair of blue adidas shorts, and nothing on my feet. I have braces on my teeth, long tan legs that are exactly like my 21 year old brother's (pretty muscly and with very bad knees), eyes that are mostly gray-bluish, but might be green, ugly feet, very skinny (though I prefer slender, or willowy, much better), nose that sort of sticks out, arched and never been plucked eyebrows, five foot wing span, and exactly five feet tall, I think.

Right now I'm wearing navy exercise-type-ish shorts from Justice. My shirt is green and white striped with a white V at the neck with rhinestones on it. I'm also wearing my favorite ever shawl (I love shawls) from my best friend, which is green and pink. My hair is kind of like Megan's - couple inches past my shoulders, golden brown and wavy. At the moment it has several small braids in it because I was bored while watching TV. On my left wrist I have a green, yellow, and blue friendship bracelet from my friend, and I'm barefoot (I don't wear shoes unless necessary). Oh yes, and I have my contacts in, but I wear my glasses sometimes too.

An umlaut is the little dotty thingy (I'm sorry, I really have no better way to put it :D) that goes over words like "naive." TNO (umlaut) puts an umlaut on the "o" at the end of her screen name, but my computer can't do umlauts. Why? Dunno, but it's very exasperating. So I just put the word umlaut in parentheses to compensate.

The umlaut indicates prounciation, but in "TNO" (umlaut) I think it's just for effect.

 

This is an o with an umlaut over it: ö Umlauts are used a lot in German.

I'm wearing pajamas right now, instead of regular clothing. I don't usually get dressed unless I'm going somewhere. My cheeks are quite rosy, but the rest of my skin is very pale. I have long-ish, straight, brown hair with golden highlights. My eyes are hazel, but they're far more green than they are brown.

 Wee!

Um. At the moment I'm wearing socks, my one pair of jeans (which are well over a year old), a black tank top and this year's Old Faithful Christian Ranch shirt (it's orange). I'm also wearing my "class ring" that a) doesn't look like a class ring and b) has absolutely nothing to do with school on it, just a fake!gemstone, four miniscule diamonds, and TNO Haley on it. And my glasses, of course. They're black, with a white triangly thing on the sides. Some brand that everyone keeps commenting on that I've never heard of before... Meh...

As to appearance, I have this dirty blonde/light brown slightly-more-than shoulder length hair which is neither curly, wavy, nor straight but somehow manages to switch randomly between the three for no apparent reason. 90% it's in a ponytail, because if it isn't it starts to mat up at the back of my neck.

My eyes are blue but they look green in florescent light as was pointed out to me last year in Geometry last year ("Whoa, Haley, your eyes are green!"). And to add to the contradictions, my lips look really really full sometimes, and then other times they look really thin. It's bizarre, really.

In the winter I always wear one of my beloved hoodies, which drives mom absolutely bonkers. She thinks I should be preppy or something, I guess. In the summer I mostly wear tanktops at home and hoodies to town and whatever while camping. And shorts, if it gets warm enough.

Er... my nails are little stubby things, because I'll sit at the computer, and something will be laggy and I'll have nothing better to do so I'll start picking at them. Oh, and I have these ever-present shadowy things under my eyes for unknown reasons. It's not to do with insomnia, I think, 'cause they don't go away if I actually, you know, sleep. They're just sort of there.

Re: guessing what people look like:

Mary W. I picture as kind of short, with long darkish hair and brown eyes.

Lena I picture as being kind of medium height with brown hair in a ponytail or braid...

And everyone else, I'm afraid, I really just picture as these random faceless entities who only develop features when you're not looking at them properly, and the moment you try to get a good look they revert back to mannequins. *shrug*

My name is out, Mary W.!!!!  You must remember from posts way back.  I would like to stick with R~D~ if you don't mind, though. :) And you had me pretty well figured out, long brown hair, braces and tall AND my name!!!  *looks suspiciously at Mary W.*  Hmm... are you stalking me?!?!  X)
