Self Portrait Thread

[Chimera]

Not me, but the best thread to post it to.

My 7 year old, very small for her size niece with her new glasses (her mother's reflection is in the mirror);

[jali]

Chimera,

She's adorable. Is she as sweet as she looks?

[Chimera]

Yes, she is.

She has some developmental issues. She's extremely tiny for her age (7.5) and has just begun taking daily growth hormone shots, which she may need for the rest of her life. They've been mucking about with various ADHD medicines too, because she has some neurological issues.

But yeah, I babysit with her a couple of times a year and other than having to be heavily involved (no rest for the sitter), she's a lot of fun to be with. Last time we made paper snow men for 3 hours.

The funny thing about the picture is that, as I told my other sister (her aunt), I can look at that picture and imagine her looking exactly the same (though hopefully with better teeth) when she's our age (late 40's).

[Sarahfeena]

She is so cute, Chimera! As an FYI, I started a Post your cute kiddos thread, for all our cute kiddos.

[Cartooniverse]

Oh here's a weird one. I was in Japan in the summer of 2008. We went every night for raw fish, of course. I was on Fukuoka, not the main island. Amazing food. Wonderful people.

I did not realize the cuttlefish was alive. Until after I started eating bits of it that'd just been sliced off....and served on top of it...as it was still alive. And glaring at me.

Live Dinner

[featherlou]

Nice picture, but I don't think I'd do well with live dinner.

[OneCentStamp]

That picture is making me laugh, Cartooniverse.

[Cartooniverse]

Heee !!! Here are two more.

We vacationed a few times in Dennysville, Maine in the mid-70's. My brother adores fishing. I do not. He'd get me up at 4:30 am ANYWAY. Somehow I managed to screw a smile onto my face while sitting in the boat.

Though for not much longer, I do live very close to Storm King Art Center. My dearly beloved shot this of me during a lovely afternoon visit there. It's all about perspective

[featherlou]

That second one is very, very nice. Did you squish his head while you were at it?

[Cartooniverse]

His head??

My dearly beloved is of the she variety.

[featherlou]

Okay, did you squish her head?

[Oliveloaf]

Since everyone else is posting actual pictures of themselves I guess I will too:



I dunno what that smudge is on the tip of my nose.

In this picture I sense both charm and danger.

Yup, thats Myrnalene alright....

I'll post a pic, but the ones I have are old / pre-scars. And the newer ones... well, they'd just spoil your dinner.

[Cartooniverse]

Okay, did you squish her head?

Nope !!! I smoooooched her face.

Does that count ?

[Dragon]

I am watching you all....

[featherlou]

Okay, did you squish her head?

Nope !!! I smoooooched her face.

Does that count ?

Alright, we'll let it go this time.

[OneCentStamp]

Making tough-guy face on the ferris wheel at Kemah Boardwalk, the Coney Island of Texas.



And with Gabe, the soon-to-be stepson:

[featherlou]

You can make tough-guy faces all you want, but I don't think anyone is buying it.

[ivan astikov]

Here's me back in my heyday, when I had hair.

< sigh!> Those were the days!

[OneCentStamp]

ivan, if you had posted that under a sock account and said "which DoMeBo poster am I?", I don't think I would have guessed correctly in 50 tries. :smile:

Bah! Now you tell me! Anyhoo, I'm a bit more grizzled round the edges now!

[jali]

Rocking the lavender vest 25 years ago. Sigh.

[Scissorjack]

This is me this morning, unblurred and unshaven.

[Sarahfeena]

Wow, look at those beautiful blue eyes! Good to see you here, Scissorjack!

[OneCentStamp]

Photo booth time! artifex, my girls, and me.

[What Exit?]

Wow, very cute and all happy.

From this weekend: (clickable)

[Sarahfeena]

Oh, hey, OneCent...how did it go when you got everyone together? Looks like you were having fun!

[OneCentStamp]

It went well, overall. You know what, I think I'll start a new thread about it. Be on the lookout. :smile:

[OneCentStamp]

That's a cute picture, What Exit?. Where is that?

You know what's weird? There's a new Subway commercial on lately that has something to do with their Scrabble game, and there's a dude in that commercial that looks a bit like you. And he's wearing a Nickleback t-shirt.

It's you isn't it?

(emphasis mine)

Fuck you.

[Cluricaun]

At least it wasn't your Billy Joel t-shirt.........

That's a good point.

[Scissorjack]

Wow, look at those beautiful blue eyes! Good to see you here, Scissorjack!

Aw, shucks. SwB sent me a PM wondering where I was, so I thought I'd mark my return by looking surly and unshaven.

[What Exit?]

That's a cute picture, What Exit?. Where is that?

We were at Grounds For Sculpture in Hamilton, NJ. It was pretty cool and interesting. My son (9) put up with about two hours well and then got a little bored and whiny. My daughter, wife and I loved it.

[vison]

I took this with my cheapo cell phone camera.

You are very photogenic, then. Quite lovely, in fact.

I have never been pleased with a photo of myself. I absolutely refuse to believe I look like that!

So, imagine me as a kindly and plump grandmotherly sort with silver hair who was once young and lissome; the youth and lissomeness ought to still show somewhere. Mother Nature can be cruel.

Excellent. Hope you will stick around!

Waiting patiently...

Axe, and you shall receive. :smile:

I took this in the spring of this year.

Are you invisible?!

[Papaw]

Me reflected in the shiny grill of a fire truck.

[Inner Stickler]

I was nosing about a friend's facebook album and found this pic of me.



I was playing with theatrical makeup. But boost my confidence and tell me it looks real!

[Glazer]

Me at work just hanging out a fifth floor window.

[Cluricaun]

Drinking makes me whimsical and fun.

[OneCentStamp]

artifex knitted me a beanie, and took some photos of it to post on her knitting community:





And here we are celebrating Christmas happy hour at Dave & Buster's. Camera phone FTW.

[The Original An Gadaí]

This was me on St. Patrick's Day. I probably look a tad inebriated.
