Old thread was getting a bit long (and my computer was running especially slow, I think), so I thought we could use another picture thread. Let's put some more faces with the screen names!

ShinyTrinket, what great pics! I'm sorry the Con was canceled. Did you have fun otherwise?

Magda, your pics always put a smile on my face. Yep, looks like we now know the origin of you're personality. Well, I inspired you, now you have inspired me!

Here is my dad. He did this at my wedding. *shakes head*

This is my hubby Jon and his best friend. Yes, I married that.

Of course me, just being me, with my friend Keri.

And me caught talking too much, as always.

Sakura does indeed translate to Cherry Blossom, or Cherry Tree, a sort of national symbol for the Japanese. Appropriately chosen for the dog, since the Shiba Inu is a Japanese breed, as are any dogs with the word "Inu" at the end (Which means "Dog" in Japanese).

Yeah, I know, pointless display of trivial knowledge. But I never get to rant about Japan anymore.

Not at all pointless. Shina Inu's are a smaller version of the Akita, a masterful, fiercely loyal (to the family), potentially deadly (to the outsider) guard dog. I am guessing that houses with paper walls need some form of canine protection. Wonderful pet for the family, will NEVER take to strangers. Have a first degree of separation story or horror toward that end.

EDIT: I am getting an impression here of what it takes to father a Browncoat, and I'm really not sure what to make of it...but I think John may have a leg up on it, Roxy.

ShinyTrinket, I envy everyone that went to that Con-that-wasn't! All of the pictures show that everyone had a lot of fun!

Roxy, the photo of your dad is a classic! Hehe!
And it looks like you are about to belt out the chorus to a Zeppelin song in that last one...
Pretty, pretty Roxy! *sigh*

Ooh, A shiba inu! I wanted one of those...but then again, I still want Akitas...

MSG, I agree. We need a lot more photos of you. Especially in some of those outfits you wear to school that cause so many problems!

Hi, there, Shannara! Don't think I have had the pleasure of talking to you before.

And now for a picture. The only thing I have been doing lately is costuming for the 76th, so that's all I have!

The "uniform" in progress. I'm hoping to have some different photos sometime soon...

Ok, don't worry, I am harmless for the most part, but I am a sucker for beautiful eyes. I am drawn to them like a moth drawn to the flame...like a lemming is drawn to the cliff edge...If you have been following the past photo threads, you might have noticed my addiction to pretty eyes...and you indeed have beautiful eyes!
Thank you for sharing the photos...and I like the flower; very nice work!

Shinyed,

Most fff folks use photobucket.com to host pics. Their archives are tremendous, too.

Upload your pic to a newly created 'bucket account, then copy the URL line underneath the picture and paste it into your post.
Easy Peasy.

Riverismygoddess - Thanks! But nope, I'm from slightly chilly England, but why do you ask?

Tristan - And thank you! I'm more than capable of fending off fiends, so compliment my eyes all you wish!

ChrisMoorhead - Yup, that's right. I took it for a challenge to recreate a scene from a movie in another forum I visit.. not bad for half and hour's frantic pulling my hair out to try and think what I could do!

Aramina - you look eerily similar to one of my little brother's fiance's friends. I am gonna have to agree with Tristan on the eyes, they definitely add to the whole River image.

CMH - I still say you look a bit like Matthew McConaughey.

Tristan - you could do an entire set of emoticons from the stock photos you have of yourself

I love that picture! I have one picture, also in my mid-childhood, that I consider the best picture ever taken of me. I'm sure most people aren't nearly as interested in photos of the past as I am, but it might be a fun thread: the be all and end all, the single best picture ever taken of you. I even know which one my mom would say was the best of her. (She's also a browncoat, although suffering from a powerful aversion to the web)

Sadly I will have to wait until I'm home to post it, but here is ME with my cat and my now-deceased dog. He was the cutest dog ever.

EDIT: strange the size difference...oh well!

Oh, no, no. Not scary in a bad way. Just in the way that you 2 look SO similar, it's uncanny (might just be the way your pic was taken too). Brian actually JUST cut his hair. It used to be very long and curly. This is a pic of him a couple years ago, but it's not a great one...

The Troublemaker shirt I actually got from ssdesigner.com I got it in 'bout a week. Sorry you haven't gotten yours yet.

Alright, no Harry Potter-ness, but I thought I'd show everyone what's been happening the last few days...

On Tuesday it started snowing

Yesterday the camera batteries were dead and had to charge, but here's what it looks like now, today, after my stepdad shoveled all day yesterday

Me lifting a shovel piled with snow

And standing in the backyard

Which looks like this on the side; the wind carved this weird hollow out, so you can see how deep the drifts are

The other side of the backyard and the buried tree

Yes, lots of boring pictures of white stuff, but I really, really have nothing else to do. Even my car (the lovely white Subaru you can all see there) can't yet make it out. Tim, my stepdad, worked for hours just to clear the sidewalk and a block of snow from in front of my car. I might be all dug out before Sunday when I have to go back to work (and hooray for double-time!) but in the meantime, I can't really go anywhere and I'm seriously grocery-deprived.

I know you all believed how bad it was, but hey, visual aides are our friend. And I'm bored

I think the pics are great, PR. While that much snow is a bit overboard, I'd at least like a small dusting here in Maryland.
It's 62 degrees here today. Ridiculous.

And, my sis-in-law is supposed to be flying from Birmingham to Denver tomorrow AM!

Oh Gladiator, that's a great Jayne figure! Fabulous! And LOL @ never complaining about the cold again! Would you believe this isn't even the worst storm I've seen? March of 2002 it dumped 5 feet of heavy snow on northern Colorado. My car was quite literally buried and everything was shut down for about three days. It was great sculpting snow, but I couldn't stand to stay out in it long enough to clear a space and then make anything; it was just too cold and the snow was too heavy and came up to my shoulders.
Ooooooh, Mavs, please send a bit of that warmth our way; it would be great help to melt a bit of this down...
Best of luck to your sis-in-law, though I'm sure DIA has been thoroughly plowed by now.
And I do think it's pretty, RIMG, I'm just getting a touch of cabin fever is all.

PR, with you sharing all your pretty snow pictures, I'm feeling left out! So, here's some my mom took (yesterday or the day before that, I think):

My dad couldn't go anywhere, so he just shoveled a lot, until he made this.

Just something funny with our two grills and little table.

Oh, no! Our lawn chairs are buried!

Mei Mei!! That is more snow than I have ever seen in my life!! Woah - you weren't kidding were you sweetheart!! Stay warm won't you? is it just me or are there no trees where you live?? (no full grown trees...) that's weird, coz I imagined Loveland was tucked into a valley, thick with trees... huh!

Yin Yang!! Oh dear... is that even more snow?? Wow!! I cannot imagine living where it snows like this!!!

No jie jie, I live in a fairly new neighborhood (our house was just built two years ago) and the trees haven't had time to grow yet. The older parts of Loveland, and of course the foothills, are full of trees. Maybe sometime (after the snow melts) I'll take some pictures of my lovely town
And yeah, Yinyang lives in Fort Collins (I lived there for a long time, too) which is just the next town over. But it's the same nearly everywhere in Colorado. In an ironic role-reversal, the mountain roads way up high remain fairly clear.
Roxy, I would gladly trade my blizzard for your rain Stay dry! And that is a way cute shirt.

I cannot lay claim to these gorgeous boys, they are Bryce's (littleAlbatross's) two wonderful 'little men' - Dylan and Sean - with the man in red!! They are just so very wonderful, too, in my opinion!! I wish I could claim them as my own, for they are so very handsome, but I cannot!

Well - Christmas Day is over for me here in Melbourne - I am posting this right on midnight!!

Here's a snippet of what the day held for me though!!
Me in my totally gorgeous, Tristan built Kaylee jacket!!!!!... and my little nephew, who was grinning all day!!

There was dinner with the family... my sister and neice...

and my neices and nephew put on a 'concert' for us...

Then gifts were exchanged...Dad did some instant deodorising with his talcum powder and my neices looked a little like companions in training!

Tea time - cold cuts of meat and salads are the go in Australia... My 10 year old neice poses with an empty glass...

Had enough of my Christmas?? I do hope each one of you has as wonderful a Christmas as I had!!

Cool new pictures.

Thanks for sharing, Marina and Orpheus.

SweetSerendipity, I do recall those dinosaur hair dryers. I spent a lot of time with one on my head in my youth.

PR and YinYang, great snow pictures. I don't get to see much of the white stuff any more. It's nice to see it occasionally to remind myself why I moved to Arizona.

Gladiator, nice Jayne action figure.

Roxy, I always love your pics, but your hair up with the Kaylee shirt is just too cute for words.

CaptainJoss, awesome NEW equipment. Do you enjoy medieval fighting?

Magda, great pics of the BBQ - I love the green foam reindeer antlers - very cute. The pictoral Christmas Day journal was nice to view. When I first saw the pic of your dad, I thought he had on those funny springy antennae. Then I realized it was a rose in the background. It was sweet of you to post the space monkeys.

LA, I've told you before those are 2 cute boys.

Shannara, I think others have mentioned that you have some beautiful eyes. I'm glad that you were able to figure out how to post the pics. I have this little emoticon if you have trouble again.

Causal, it's been awhile since you've posted. Nice to see pics from Iraq and the present.

ShadeSiren, great to have you come out and join the fun. Your elf ears are precious.

I hope I didn't miss anybody that posted recently. If I did, your's was so COOL that it took the words away from me.

I just got a digital camera for Christmas, so I hope to be posting more pics in the future.

So many shiny pics that I missed!

Hell's Kitten...I am not a Harry Potter fan, but seeing those pics...hehehe...good job!

Penguin...I remember that picture. Nice skirt!

Ah! Snow! Whee!! Thank all of you snow-pic posters! It's been awhile since we had a good snow storm down here.

Gladiator, love the Jayne figure! And your expression is a perfect match.

Roxy! Yet another Kaylee! And that addictive smile again...it always brings a smile to my face.

CaptainJosh...ooh! Nice shiny helm!

Magda, thank you for the "Xmas in Oz" photos! Looks like a lot of fun! Cute horns...their just a little droopy there towards the end.

Causal, always good to see you. And thank you again for your service.
I once tried skeet shooting with a Mossberg riot gun with a 18 1/2" slug barrel...you can probably guess how that went...

ShadeSiren, welcome to the party!
Nice artwork in your links, by the way. Thank you for sharing those.

Qing ren, again! Hey, nice jacket! Love the smile...always have!

I have many new gifts to show off (mostly perfect t-shirts that are going to require a "scene") and several other photos to post...so I should have those up tomorrow.

Thank you all again for sharing!

Alright, I took a few shots of some Xmas gift shirts I received...they are both from my brother and sister-in-law...the second shirt was her idea, though. (It's alright, she and I have a good relationship, and she gives me a hard time about my "choices" of wives)

Why, yes....yes I do!

And quite possibly the best t-shirt I have ever seen:

Tristan - I love your sister-in-laws sense of humour!! I have a similar relationship with my Victorian- based brother-in-law!! qing ren... maybe she should chose your "next wife"

Thanks Naughtyman - Christmas BBQs are all the go here in Australia... but our Christmas Day was more traditional - though my sister has done the roast in the Webber a couple of times, my mother is a traditionalist - you must super-heat the kitchen with as many hot, roasting, boiling, cooking dishes as possible!!

Hello my sweet Kaylee jie-jie and Jimi-bear! So good to see you both!

Wednesday, December 27, 2006 7:11 PM

And more...because I am bored and have hit a lull at work...

Updated bar shots. I got quite a number of decorative Chinese items for Xmas, and now I have to put them to good use.

Done without the flash because I thought it was a very neat shot.

The Serenity Shrine, with added items...new panda, cards from the Browncoat Post, and a phenomenal decoy made by our very own NVG:

And now for something completely different.
I have been designing and building costume pieces for the 76th, and I take a LOT of photos as I am going...this is one of the "in-between" shots, about the time I get really bored...Independent soldier at ease
