Topic: What does everyone look like?

[Punch]

I know three people who look exactly like you and they all listen to metal, like fantasty books and play warhammer. It was a guess.

Did used to read a lot of fantasy books as well (Conan, Tolkien, Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms, etc.), but Warhammer 40k or Warhammer Fantasy?

I have a 40k Tyranid army in the works.

I am Crimson Fists.

Have you lost weight, trevor? You look good/happy there

I lost a little over 40 lbs. this summer, thanks for noticing.   I'm so much happier.  My parents are finally getting along, I'm losing weight, on my way to university, and now it looks like I'm going back to Church.  I couldn't be happier with the way my life is going.

Wow this is great.

Indeed! Very happy for you my brother.

Imagine a sorrowful sinner, that is what I look like.
In tears, in pain.

We all look like that brother. Take hope in the unfailing mercy of God. His love is most profoundly evident in our weaknesses and sins. I would not know the light if I had never experienced the darkness. And even after knowing the light, I still choose darkness. Sometimes I can't pull myself out of the depths. But the Cross always lifts me up. I keep waiting for God to turn His back on me. After all, I've turned my back on Him too many times to count. But my sins can no more thwart His love than a fly can obfuscate the sun.

Nephi, I think you like metal 

To be honest I really used to during my teen years, but I never listen to it anymore.

And relevantly enough it was mostly an eclectic mix of different European metal bands.

If I see a man with a ponytail, I know he probably like metal music or he's an Orthodox (or both of them).

Very nice picture, you and your wife look very happy

A "little" crush?  I think that he is having an Icon painted of her.  And yes, he looks Nordic.



ps - he will get me back for this.

I am Swedish except for a Norwegian great-grandfather and an English great-grandmother.  I was drinking Linie Aquavit and eating gravlax that evening. 

So it explains your not so obvious American citizenship and why I liked the picture. Yeah, it confirms that Scandinavians are my type of man (I mean appearance of course)

Vamrat was having a little crush on you. I hope he's Scandinavian.

I had to find the meaning of the expression "have a crush on somebody" Never before have seen/heard it. But, please, no icon, it would be a schlock one And I'm sure you poverrate Vamrat's feelings toward me
Punch has posted pictures from the Christmas Even in which Vamrat is present too, and as I could notice, he's definitely blond, so that's good

Thank you!

No, I just prefer blond men, but there are some men with black hair and dark eyes that I really consider as good-looking.

But there was no man without beard that was attractive for me (I don't count the times of primary school of course ) Yeah, beard is more important than hair's colour .


BTW, You look very good in the picture (I mean your avatar)

[Punch]

Indeed.  With beard.

Thank you very much! We are.

I should start listening to metal again so I fit that part of my appearance.

I am blonde by American standards, I have beard, long hair, membership in an old country Orthodox state church and OC.net profile. What prize do I get?

Here I am! 



I'm in no rush to grow a beard, as most of you are peer-pressuring JamesR to.

Awesome Trevor! You look fabulous! 

And yes if anyone was wondering, my "Avatar" is a picture of me... 

[mike]

Not bad, not bad really ^

[Asteriktos]

^^From pimp to player in 5 easy steps!

[vamrat]

I'm the one in the suit.

Baie mooi!

Are they all your sisters or are you just that lekker? 

I'm going to brush up on my Afrikaans and head over there to Holland!

The latter. I don't have any sisters.

[JamesR]

This one is from last summer when I visited Great America with my friends. I'm the third one to the right screaming like a little girl. In retrospect, I don't know what I was thinking wearing a Fossil watch while on that...

[Maximum Bob]

So I've been growing the beard out a bit and really need to get it trimmed, but since I've got this 1000th post to do I figured I would share it with all of you first.

Brilliant. I was wondering who he reminded me of in that photo.

[LizaSymonenko]

Too funny!

[mike]

Who is the guy in the gif?

[LizaSymonenko]

What?!  You mean that's not you?   

[mike]

What?!  You mean that's not you?   

Ha ha ha.

I must have a popular face. I've seen a guy who looked exactly like me in some election tv ad.

[LizaSymonenko]

It's actually:

Andrew Scott: A pin-up who is hard to pin down
Scott's career has been as unpredictable as his portrayal of Moriarty in the BBC's new Sherlock Holmes. It's good to keep reinventing yourself, he tells Alice Jones

Great 1,000th post!

...it's a better beard than I could ever grow! 

[mike]

Thank you.

Interesting. We have similar smiles and same broad foreheads but we don look alike when our faces are still (or sad).

[Shanghaiski]

Nice picture. Artsy black and white. Reminds me of a Humphrey Bogart movie.

As an aside, is smiling in pictures becoming more common in Europe?

[mike]

Nice picture. Artsy black and white.

I made it B&W because it was a bit blurry (there was quite dark in there) and my eyeballs were terribly red.

[Shanghaiski]

How one does "try to look like European"?

Leather jacket, cigarette, square-toed shoes?

Oh, that's Russian hipster.

[Shanghaiski]

my back

Trippy.

[Babalon]

Some friends and I on any given thursday night.

[Timon]

This is me, Fr. Jacob (left) and Fr. Chris (right) back in May when I became a catechumen.

For those who havent heard, Fr. Jacob passed away yesterday. Pray for him, his family and our parish as this is certainly a difficult time.

[JamesR]

This is me and my friends at a Christmas party in 2011. I'm the guy in the back at the far right.



This is me when I was Baptised on June 23rd, 2012. The Priest holding the Gospel over me is Fr. Michael, the other one is Fr. George. The old couple to the far right are also converts, they were made catechumens the day after I was baptized and were just received about two months ago. The little boy to the far right sitting down bored is my brother.

[Ansgar]

Nice garment James.

[Dominika]

Nice garment James.

+1 As first Christians.
I wonder why yoyr brother, James, was so bored. I think it's interesting to see your sibiling during so strange ceremony


Timon - very nice picture too. And memory eternal for fr. Jacob!

I don't have any pictures from my Chrismation, althoguh I had a camera with me. Maybe sometimes I regret that I didn't ask my friend to take a few pictures of it (mainly when I see photos posted here or on fb), but I thought I should have it "inside me", in my mind, hear and memories. The best souvenir of my receiving me into Orthodox Church I have it's the icon I was given by my priest and the candle I was keeping during the Chrismation.
