Picture of me meme

[resonant]

Take a picture of yourself right now. Don’t change your clothes. Don’t fix your hair. Just take a picture. Post that picture with no editing. (Except maybe to get the image size down to something reasonable. Don’t go posting an eight megapixel image.) Include these instructions.



Both cats love sitting on the back of my chair; it's like those photos you sometimes see of a tree full of lions.

I have an identical Siamese cat right behind me! <3

Is yours weird? Ours is not as odd as Siamese cats are rumored to be, but she's still quite the little neurotic.

Tree full of lions!

I am charmed by how many of us have the same sort of quirky oval eyeglasses. :-)

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I know! I thought of them as "fan glasses" when I got them.

[panisdead.livejournal.com]

You have curly hair! I never in any of my vague amorphous conceptualizations of you thought of curly hair!

[bethbethbeth.livejournal.com]

You know, I was just thinking the exact same thing! Dark hair, yes. Curly hair, no.

I did envision kitties, however. :)

[nudaydreamer.livejournal.com]

Am I the only one vaguely surprised that you don't look like Rodney McKay wearing a tac vest?

(and I have a similarly-colored Siamese curled up next to my laptop at the moment)

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Yeah, many people look like their default icons in my head, even the ones who are thereby rendered as cats, rabbits, or slashable characters.

[cat-latin.livejournal.com]

Kitties! And look at those gorgeous curls!

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't have done the meme if the cats hadn't been there; they're so photogenic. Not that I'm not also proud of my Naturally Curly Hair.

N'awwww, you with cat head-ends! (Like bookends...FOR YR HEAD)

Hi there, you!

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

[laughing at the idea of head bookends]

Of course, that would mean that my brain never fell over at the ends, which, um, is not the case.

[venivincere]

You look nothing like I thought you would look, but now that I see you, I can't remember at all what I did think you looked like. Oh, what lovely curls you have! And such a pretty face! :-) (and kitties!)

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

You know what I like about this meme? You usually see pictures of two kinds of people: Professionally pretty people, and people you already know. It's kind of cool to see pictures of normal-looking people!

[toft-froggy.livejournal.com]

Hey! Gosh, what lovely hair!

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Aww. Thanks!

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

You have awesome auburn curls!

You also have two little assassins just waiting for their moment. :)

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Every now and then I'll be startled from my happy pornish contemplation by one of them sticking a paw into the back of my neck in an effort to lick some hard-to-reach body part. Oh, and the black cat? Totally goes so soundly to sleep that he sometimes slides down the back of the chair onto my shoulder, though afterwards he denies it.

[shayheyred.livejournal.com]

Res, you are totally cute.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Aww. Thanks!

[ellen-fremedon.livejournal.com]

You look like you've got a feline angel and devil perched on your shoulders, whispering in your ears.

[reginagiraffe]

Ceiling Cat and Basement Cat?

[zebra363.livejournal.com]

I love to see pictures of people. So that's the person who wrote "Broadway Hotel"! Thanks!

[ecaterin.livejournal.com]

....now that makes pictures of fanfic authors a bit hair-raising. So I look at this utterly cute pic of Rez and think....this is who wrote The Familiar. With Snape. And Harry. And.....

Shouldn't pr0n authors look kind of furtive? Or at least not so damn wholesome? :D

[reginagiraffe]

I love this meme!

I love having faces to put to names.

*waves* Hi, Res!!

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I love it, too! Though in my head you'll always look like a giraffe.

[celandineb.livejournal.com]

Hee, I'm amused at how many of these seem to have cats in them...

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

And glasses, too!

[laurashapiro.livejournal.com]

You're lovely!

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Aww. Thanks! You've got one of those default icons that becomes "you" in my head.

[nestra.livejournal.com]

This will sound crazy, but you look to me kind of like a mix of sanj and kassrachel. Which means you have damn good genes.

[gritkitty.livejournal.com]

omg, you're right! And on both counts. ; )

[tevere.livejournal.com]

Lions can climb trees? *is one step behind everyone else, as usual*

I like your glasses... I want oval frames too, but they don't seem to be in fashion hereabouts and I can never find them.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Some can. This (http://acaciaphoto.com/blog/?p=13) is the best page of photos I found, but this (http://www.paulgross.com/tanzania/manyara.htm) has the advantage of having been put up by Paul Gross, though not the Paul Gross.

I think of these as fannish glasses; that's what they looked like to me when I picked them out.

[china_shop]

Hello, you! *waves at you through the screen* Wow, it's so nice to see you. You look lovely! :-)

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Hi to you too!

[darklock.livejournal.com]

I *love* this meme. It's so awesome to see everyone.

And, now I must go get my kitty. ;-)

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Me too! I love putting faces to names for a moment before I go back to picturing everyone as looking just like their default icons.

[viva-gloria.livejournal.com]

Yay, naturally curly Just Like Me!

I only have the one kitty to murmur ev0l in my ear. But yes, must do this meme once I can find my camera...

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

You too? Cool! And you have to have at least one cat, to be a fan. If you don't have one, one will be issued to you.

Were you around when I did my slasher stereotype poll (http://resonant8.livejournal.com/35378.html) and follow-up pet comparison table (http://resonant8.livejournal.com/35684.html)?

[skuf.livejournal.com]

I'm going to have to go, "curls!!", too. And "kittehs!!"

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

The kittehs pretty much make the picture.

[tofty.livejournal.com]

*boings your curls like Ramona Quimby*

I think I must have seen a picture of you somewhere before? You look sort of familiar. :-?
