Tom an Chris: What are you talking about? No, I wasn't bored. And yes, I'm not actually smiling, but that's because I always look stupid if I smile in photos, but I don't think I look bored in that one or anything... I kinda like the picture.
Anna: Thanks. It's a skirt, though... I don't think there's anything wrong in Dave's hair... :p |

Nice pics Jenni and Dave and Anna - can't be bothered to type anything here - I'll say things to you on MSN if I remember.
I would post the pictures of myself here again, but I don't have any recent ones, and anyway I'm not very photogenic at all. I don't have high enough cheekbones... It's true, I don't think I'm ugly or anything, I am just not photogenic. A few of my friends are like that, too: they're all good-looking, but only Marion and Adam have the high cheekbones required to make really good photographs... |

Yeah, well...Like I said..that's how my hair *used* to be...;)
|
Nice photos.
Dave, I don't think there's anything wrong with your old hair style. There's a guy at my uni who has hair just like you did. How do you have your hair now? Faz, I love the belt! I have one similar. |
You wouldn't happen to be a student at the University of Western Sydney, would you? I know somebody who's starting there next semester.
|
Yes, the University of Western Sydney. What will your friend be studying, and at which campuses?
|
Hey, Faz, it's a strange coincidence, but I used to know a guy from Turku, or somewhere around there, at least. I remember him saying his dad worked there, or something, but I definately remember the name. Bjorn was a weird person, that's for sure. He was a foreign exchange student, but he didn't have but the slightest accent, so nobody noticed, which he thought was funny. He collected those little triangular seperator things at the grocery store check-out lines. I never could figure out how he stole so many without getting caught.
Anyway, hmm, should I subject you nice people to my hideous maw? My shiny, stubbly, mis-shaped lump of a head, in all it's phenomenally un-photgenic splendor? Perhaps, eventually, when my camera starts working again. (AKA I buy film) Until then, the relatively weak horror-conveying power of words will have to suffice. I'm 6 foot 3 (for friends in foreign lands, I believe that translates to... uh... eight...err....eighty four meters, or... wait, no...seven miligrams. Yeah, that's it), blonde, blue eyes, with a perpetually fuzzy face and messed up head of curls. Imagine that the governments of the world came together with the sole purpose of breeding a creature percectly suited to the task of picking up and moving people's luggage, but had funneled their funding for penache and grace into some other project, and the resulting image that pounds against the back of your eyeballs like the most discerning of fever dreams- that's me! My mother and I joke that she had me to lift heavy things for her. At least, I think she's joking... |
Wow, small world. He's doing a masters in French translation, and I intend to go up there during the university semester break in September. I'm not sure which campus it'll be.
Any recommendations for cheap hotels/hostels in the area? I've only ever stayed at some joint with a name like 'The Koala', but that was ages ago. |
It certainly is a small world.
As for hotels, it all depends on which campus your friend will be based at. The University of Western Sydney has campuses in Bankstown, Blacktown, Campbelltown, Hawkesbury, Parramatta and Penrith. They're all quite far from each other. |
Sydney, right now, my hair is about as short as it is in the first picture..I just got tired of messing with it, really. Although when it's longer, I ususually comb it foreward...And comb my 'fringe' straight up. Since my 'fringe' is about 4-5 inches long [usually] it's quite the interesting look. I did have a Mohawk too, although I don't think there are any pics of me with it...
EDIT: I wanted to point something else out about my pics...did you notice the color of the sky? No....it's not the cameras fault, and it wasn't an exceptionally bright day, either. The area I live in is SO poluted, that our sky has turned a seemingly permanent pale blue/grayish color...it's sad, really. There are even days when we're not supposed to be outside for extended periods of time because the air is too bad. Sucks to be me. |
Thanks, Syd. :)
Dequibenzo: Heh, we sure have a lot of weird persons in here... But anyway, Björn isn't a Finnish name. It's a Swedish and Norwegian name. But of course there can be a lot of Björns living in Finland... |
I don't know if he was Finnish by birth or not, never talked about it. Either way, we all called him B.A. for short. Come to think of it, I don't know what the A stood for... anyway. Just thought it was a weird coincidence.

I finally got a picture of myself wearing sun glasses. Don't be scared of it. It's a little big I don't know how to shrienk it so have a look.
|
Cool pic Paramitabe!!!! Wow all this time that was what the weird guy who kept posting on my fan fics looked like! Somethings up with your pic Faz cause thers just a big red X there and I wanna know what you look like!!!!! I'm trying to find a pic of me but for now I have glasses, blue eyes,long bright blonde hair, kinda skinny, and about 4 ft 7 in or something like that.
Oddling l:c l |
How old are you, ParamiteAbe?
|
I am 20 years old believe it or not. I know I don't look 20. Even a lot of people I know think that. It's crazy but I like the way how I look young especially at my age. I guess only the mustach makes me look a little bit older.
|
Wow, I thought you were a bit younger than that!
|
Hey look it's me complaining that I should get a pet Slog for my Birthday! Ha ha!!! This is the first time I'm attaching a file so I hope it works!www.oddworld.com/universe/industrial/characters/sligs/worker/_assets/cg_assets/scroll_cg07.html
|
:/ I always look terrible in photos... I might be getting some new ones developed soon... however, for the moment, this is me...
|
It's Bankstown. Is that where you are?
[note to self: seek and destroy all blurry first years] |
Good to put a face to the name, oddness! Same goes for everyone else, too. :)
|
Oddling I dont think your picture showed up correctly. When I clicked on it it said file not found you might want to re check it to fix it if you want.:fuzblink:
|
Hey Paramiteabe, if you look at the URL if he had done it right I believe it would turn out to be a picture of a slig or something... No offense Oddling, but I think this is for real pictures....
|
You know your right Majic_ Abe. It looks like it would be a pic of a slig. We need real pictures Oddling real!:D
|
Nice pictures, everyone! :)

More up-to-date piccies...
Finally got some up to date ones:
This is me (with Mrs. Chicken and Minou) the afternoon after my haircut. Since I'd just had it washed and cut, it's rather flat and fluffy, and you can't really make out the spikes or layers. It's growing longer now and the spikes are more defined. It's actually quite anime-like right now.  And here's a head and shoulders shot so you can see the design on my T-shirt. I put the design on myself - it took half a day to enlarge the design I had printed off the net with a pantograph and then make a cardboard stencil out of it. It says 'Fluke', BTW; it's the name of an electronica trio I like.  This is before I had my haircut; it's tied back in a ponytail in this picture. Minou is by my feet and Doris is on the headboard.  Here's another good one of Mrs. Chicken.  And Minou looking very anthropomorphic. She's winking, and she has her elbow over the edge of the table, but from this perspective she looks as though she's a gossipy neighbour with her elbow over the fence.  |
Re: More up-to-date piccies...

Anyway, you and your pets look lovely. |

"Howdy Neighbour!" |

Anna, your hair looks very modern and care-free. You kind of remind me of Major Carter from the Stargate SG1 tv series.
|

Anyway how comes when she/he posts a pic of an Oddworld creature for some laughs how comes i got yelled at for doing the same thing!!!!! i was just having some fun!!! Anyway heres that pic of me!
Oddling l:c l |
Keep the photos legit please. It's really not that funny to see an Oddworld character in place of your photo.
LuxoJr, I go to the Penrith campuses. :D |
This is my gorgeous cat, Murray, and my mum's cat, Jake. Murray's the tabby :)
Sydney: Do you have a less blurry picture of you? Just wondering... I don't remember you from the last thread and you'll probably get your photo up anyway from the Oddworld tour :) You all look great, by the way :fuzgrin: And Disgruntled Intern, you can wear your hair however you like :p |
Oddness, here's a less blurry picture of me looking quite sombre.
|
Sydney, you look demonic;)
Oddness, that picture is just adorable. When I can, I have to gget a picture of my cat up here doing something stupid, like sleeping on her back with her paws in the air... |
