Well, for the record, since there's really no point in me doing this besides the fact that I'm bored:
Age: I think grade would be a better gauge for me, but whatever. 16
first kiss: Technically (as in after I was five) not as of yet, thankfully. I go to public high school, how many good guys do you really think are there?
Appearances: I can't find any pictures of me here (at least that I like) but I bet you could ask mack and she could find one.
Hair: LONG straight blonde hair (which everyone I know has to play with. Eyes: sparkly blue (especially if I'm up to something) Smile: How do you describe a smile? Uh...appears very readily. Build: tall (comparatively, I suppose. I'm 5'9), built, not a sissy girl
Look alikes: Myself. I don't recall that I've ever been compared to someone.
Reason I'm cool: I dunno, ask Farmgirl or ElJay.
Dating status: Very Single
Stalker level: I seem to repel stalkers, thankfully. I think I kinda scare them. I tend to intimidate the people (mainly the guys) at my high school, except one guy who's a senior also this year.
Plans: Major in veterinary medicine, open a practice after interning, etc.
Things you should know: -I adore animals, all of them. -I won't usually tell you anything unless you ask -My mom is a Hatracker (Farmgirl, as aforementioned). -I play a ton of different sports. Not quite everyone imaginable, but most of the ones that can be played in Kansas. -I think "Bones" and "House" are the two greatest shows...ever. -I tend to be sweet and sour; I usually can be quite nice, but sometimes I get sarcastic. Sarcasm is a good part of my wit, or lack thereof. -Music is a major part of my life, though not my major. As are animals. -I'm a country girl at heart, though I can be a girly girl with the best of them.
Perfect man: Christian, sense of humor, tall (mainly because I sort of am), witty, intelligent (although with Hatrack, that wouldn't be an issue), I prefer sweethearts though I'm not sure why, and no sissy for me, although I don't like them too rough either.
Wow, that was highly amusing. I'll try and hunt down a pic, but I don't know how easy one will be to find.

Awwww, you guys are so sweet.
More details? Haha. There might be PICTURES, if my Thursday night plans pan out. One of my friends just started bartending down the street.

Yes, it is, but I can't seem to find it on there. I have my recent pics too. ElJay, if I emailed them to you, could you pretty please put them up for me?

Here's the corn picture, and I like this one from prom, too. If you e-mail me some others I can put them up, but it won't be until after I get home from work.

Aww, shucks. Thanks. Not sure what I'm going to do this year for prom. The pictures I'm sending to ElJay are more recent, so they're more what I look like.

Hey, sorry, my email is being a pain (stupid dial-up!) So you might get it twice, I'm going to try and resend cause I don't think it went the first time.

*sigh* This might take awhile. I decided since my email can't handle it, to send them individually, and it's still taking a very long time.

Gee, thanks pfresh. Mom, I was emailing that one to ElJay, but now I don't know which one that is. I think I can guess though. *shrug* Oh well, Mom's in California and still putting up pics faster than me. lol Oh well.
Build: I used to be athletic (swim and waterpolo x 10000) but I got in a fistfight with my swim coach (jk about the fists ) and quit the team. So all my muscles turned into flab. I'm this... walking blob of flabby fat. Gah.
Don't worry Kitsune, I'm sure if you just go back to the gym and lift weights along with your swimming, you'll get back in shape and feel really good about yourself.
Hmmm, why did you name yourself "Kitsune"? I know it means "fox," but does it refer to something more specific?
Alas, it's too late; and I'm too lazy. Once you're on the lazy/don'twanttomove train, you can't just.. jump off!
Well, if you ever saw the anime Love Hina, there's a cool character named Kitsune. I liked her the best
And ahh, sorry for disrupting the direction of the thread pH and ivygirl are cuties

Age: Approaching twenty. First kiss: None. Appearances: Me, Laughing
Hair: Longish, brown and straight (in the photo it's wet and longer. The photo was taken Dec. 2004. My teeth are straighter and less gappy now.) Eyes: Hazel, leaning towards brown. Smile: Braces . Build: What in fantasy books is called "slender". Ancestry: English Mutt. I am English-Canadian.
Look alikes: Anne Hathaway, or so I'm told by my dental hygenist. There is a slight resemblance.
Reason I'm cool: I taught myself to recognise various Sumerian cuneiform symbols because I learnt about them from a Stargate episode. Oh yes, I'm cool.
Dating status: Single and not actively looking.
Plans: None. See places. Write. Find a job I feel useful in. Live. Do something wonderful and worthwhile. Alliterate.
Things you should know:
I'm an introvert. I like being alone rather a lot. However, I like also to be around people because I find people of all types fascinating. I'm a terminal eavesdropper/observer/analyzer.
I am also very quiet, which should not be confused with shyness or a lack of interest in your pet cat. If I'm not speaking, looking thoughtful or camouflaged, it doesn't mean I'm not listening. In fact, it probably means the reverse. See above.
I am somewhat shy in some situations. I like science fiction, fantasy, adventure. I like to learn, to know, to understand, to figure out. I like mystery, the unknown, the magical, the distant, the alien. I like physics. I do not like being at a disadvantage. I like hot cups of tea. I like to walk in cities, in forests, by the sea, on mountains.
I try to be as friendly as possible, but I make real friends very slowly. If you've found my sense of humour (IRL), you've got to know me.
EDIT: "The Perfect Man" sounds awful, but anyway:
Someone who's somewhat more adventurous than I am who can make me go travelling around the world. And such.
Edit: The 'sigh' thing is not a pervy sigh about the girls in this thread, though they are lovely, but rather my way of saying that it sucks being the last dinosaur in a world of mammals.
Well, if you ever saw the anime Love Hina, there's a cool character named Kitsune. I liked her the best
Oh, okay. I figured it was something like that. I was just curious if it had to do with Magic: The Gathering, which last year had an Asian setting and contained a race of fox creatures called kitsune.

I am reading fairy tales. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I adore reading and writing fairy tales.

1. It depends on whether we're talking Sg-1 or Atlantis, and even then I would find it hard to choose. I think one of Stargate's strengths is that the characters are so likeable and interesting, in both serieses (what is the plural?!).
I admit (heh) that I do have soft spot for Daniel Jackson, but I'm not sure that counts as "favourite".
2. Again, I watch both serieses, and I am working my way through Sg-1 so I can only speak from experience up to half way through season three. Again, it's difficult to choose. Atlantis, "Letters from Pegasus" springs to mind, but that is for nostalgia more than stand-alone plot. I liked "The Storm"...
Sg-1, I liked the one with the slowing of time, somewhere in the middle of season two (which is where it gets really awesome, in my opinion). Again, that was for pure interest value and complicated situations...
I couldn't choose an overwhelming winner.

I think imogen is referring to This Pic or some variation of it that I took.
Now that I'm back from California, I need to go back and read this thread and see exactly what it is about. You have a lot of personal info in here Ivy. Need to be careful.

I'm taking the plunge! I didn't think us young'uns we supposed to participate- oh well, it's all in fun.
Age: 16 First kiss: Not counting doggie kisses, never.
Appearances: This, taken in October of '05, makes me look all of 13.. And that's one of my two loves, Schneider/Squeakers/Monty/Pete, take your pick, he responds to all of them. Hair: Right now it's real short in the back and long enough in the front to keep tucked behind my ears. It's reddish brown with light brown highlights- mostly natural, but the red comes from temporary stuff I put on last year.. Yes, I do wash my hair. Eyes: I'm told they're 'cow-poop' brown, but I happen to think they're hazel. Smile: It's usually a tad embarrassed, but always present.
Build: Rather shorter than I'd like, 5'4" ish, and I'm working at getting rid of the flab.
Look alikes: No one that I can think of.
Reason I'm cool: XD I'm so not. I collect Starburst wrappers and apple stickers in my spare time.
Dating status: Single
Stalker level: I've never been a stalker, but I was stalked by this creepy old guy at Germanfest last summer. I gave him ice cream and he went away.
Plans: Enjoy my last two years of high school, go backpacking around Europe with my dad or friend, and it's fuzzy after this point, but right now I'm contemplating medical school- being an ER doctor strikes me as being a worthwhile profession.
Things you should know: At this point, I'm just looking for someone to talk with. I hardly ever not in a good mood. I often get incredibly embarrassed (My face goes pale to red in less than two seconds!) and therefore often come across as dumber than I think I am. Or maybe I'm just kidding myself. I'm also kind of obsessive about my dogs.
Perfect man: Witty, laughs easily, smarter than I am, likes long conversations not for the content but for the sake of conversing, enjoys languages and good books. But, it doesn't really matter. Just not a stalker, I suppose.
**I didn't realize I'd used so many smilies..**

Giving in to temptation… (Plus I'm procrastinating. )
Age: 24 Age when first kissed: 18 - and it was on stage in front of lots of people, and had to be repeated fairly often over the course of two weeks, audience included. Bit of an awkward way to start the semester, really.
Photo:Here and here from two years ago, and here more recently. (How do I put myself in the Jatraqueros meta-album?) Hair: thick, dark brown, mid-back, straight but a little on the wavy/frizzy side (which I plan to get fixed sometime soon) Eyes: brown, usually have contacts in them (clear ones) Smile: Imperfect but still gets compliments Build: 5’5”, thin but in need of exercise Ancestry: Half Filipino, half Scots-Irish Look-alikes: I’ve been called an elf, and it’s been noted that an elf in The Santa Clause does bear a bit of a resemblance. I’ve also been strangely (and erroneously) compared to Liv Tyler. But otherwise, I look like a taller, paler version of my mom.
Reason I am cool: I’m always glad to laugh at the world and at myself (in a thoroughly non-malicious way), but I’m also glad to help out a friend in need.
Dating Status: Single Stalker Level: I use stalking as a threat if people are slow with returning things/money they’ve borrowed, but I don’t actually follow through, I just nag. To my knowledge, I’ve never been stalked, but I can be pretty oblivious. Plans: Finish my MFA in dramaturgy, get out of debt, launch myself into the professional theatre world, travel the globe, move to London and become a dual British-American citizen (although I could also be talked into moving to Paris.). And eventually own and ride horses competitively and have a menagerie of pets. Oh, and have lots of fun and meet wonderful and interesting people while doing all of the above.
Things you should know: - I’m pretty shy and reserved in person, and it takes a long time for me to really get comfortable with new people. (Rather a lot like how Teshi described herself, actually. We could almost be personality twins. ) I also like to tease close friends, so if I get snarky with you (IRL), it means I like you and feel secure around you, so feel free to snark back. - I’m cautious with my emotions, but adventurous with things like food, directions, shopping, and trying new things. Spontaneity is only sometimes involved - I'm a planner, more for the fun of anticipation than for organization. - I always try to be considerate, honest, and open-minded. Plus I’m easy-going and a good listener. - I can be terrible at making decisions, especially at restaurants. - I have a wide variety of interests and a tendency to flit from one curiosity to another like a butterfly. Generally speaking, my main interests are theatre (all aspects and types, esp. musicals and twisted modern drama), history, and traveling (and by extension, different cultures and languages and the history of both). - I’m on the analytical side, and I like examining why and how things work and how they’re all inter-related. - I have very little patience with willful ignorance and people not using their common sense. - I’m a dreamer and a romantic idealist at heart, but I do my best to look at the world realistically (with varying degrees of success). - I tend to be very long-winded in writing, but much less so in spoken conversation.
Perfect Man: - Someone with whom I feel no need to be reserved, who I can talk and laugh and hang out with for hours, but also be silent with without awkwardness. - Someone who will be adventurous with me. - Someone who is at least as smart as me, but not necessarily in the same areas. Well-read is definitely a plus, though. - Someone I can learn from, and vice versa. - Someone open-minded and willing to compromise from time to time - I’m happy to do the same, but not if I’m the only one doing it. Stubborn closed-mindedness aggravates me. - Someone madly in love with me, and vice versa. - In a really ideal world, someone rich, hot, and British (for marriage-to-get-citizenship purposes - English, Scottish, Welsh, and N. Irish are all welcome possibilities), or with a sexy accent from elsewhere if not Britain.

Nell, you obviously have a lot going for you, but I think the fact that two of your pictures are in Paris and Rome is one of your most attractive qualities. World travelers are sexy.

Aside from the last one, those and my others from Europe are actually among the most recent ones I have of myself.
