... Some more mental than others :-)
What do the rest of you think, when you think of the other people posting here? Do you have mental images of the way you think people might look? Or do you just think of them as names, or vague impressions of personality? Feel free to crack up laughing at my impressions of some of you, no offence intended. I know I'm almost certain to be totally wrong, but even if you tell me otherwise, this is still how I imagine you. My mental pictures: I pictured Spider-Boy the right age before he said he was 19. I see him as tall but young-looking, with short brown hair and a very slender build. I always think of him wearing a red t-shirt and jeans for some reason. Dracimas is one of only two people whose picture I've seen. Before I saw it, I pictured him as looking a bit like Al from Tim Allen's show Home Improvement. You can all check out his site and see how right I was on that one :-) I thought of Wolfspirit as in her mid 40s for no particular reason except she seems to have reached a certain level of wisdom that comes with at least that physical age. Probably because of her name, I saw her with long, tawny wolf-coloured hair until she said she was of Asian descent. Still having problems picturing a black-haired Wolfspirit, so I feel free to give up and just think of her as my original picture. Chris is a sort of hyperactive bouncy short girl with very light blonde wavy hair and *possibly* freckles. I haven't decided yet. Howard looks just like a maths teacher I had when I was about ten years old. Stephen is dark haired, dark eyed and very good looking, goodness knows why I think that. Eowyn14 looks like Eowyn from LOTR but when she was younger than in the book. Mousie looks like Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman but has long blonde hair in braids (must be the name, sorry Heidi). She's a laughing sort of person and is very good looking but a bit quiet sometimes with people she doesn't know (now *there's* a weird theory based on her postings here). Darien is short and a bit plump with light brown eyes and maybe glasses, he's quite nice looking. I've *seen* a picture of unipeg but I *still* think of her as a small cute fluffy animal. Sorry. I can't help it. Anyway, I know this is probably quite ludicrous but maybe it's given some of you a laugh to think how wrong I am. It might be more fun not knowing the truth, anyway.
