Whitechapel - The Self-Portrait Imagethread (Sep 10)

The Self-Portrait Imagethread (Sep 10)

Or SPIT, as Zo calls it.

We're going to launch one of these threads a month. And down the months and years, we'll build up not only a mugshot parade of the Whitechapel crew -- but also, for those who choose to participate monthly, there'll be a record of how we all change and grow (and in my case age horribly).

Obviously, I encourage participation from everyone, even if you're just joining the place. This thread is certainly NOT just for the old lags. In fact, the more new faces the better.

So. Take a photo of yourself and post it (if you're not sure how -- you put a photo on the web somewhere, a free hosting site like Flickr or Photobucket or your LJ gallery if you use LJ -- Blogger image hosting won't work -- and click the "img" button above to put the address of the image in, the http://) here.

I'll get to mine once I'm, you know... piss off, I'm busy...

Begin.

(Those of you doing 365 projects at Flickr obviously have a head start...!)

@Fauxhammer emits beams of purest HATE through his eyes, and no-one sees fit to comment?
For shame, Whitechapel. For shame...

@Gekko - well, from where I'm sat, in my office staring at the piles of building aggregates that are across the road, you sure are making me jealous...

The Self-Portrait Imagethread (Sep 10)

2010-09-02T04:18:47-07:00

I don't want to make you jealous, I want to share with you the exhilarating illusion of freedom I felt at that moment.

@Fauxhammer: Are you using your heat vision on the target of your rage, or is that Superman out of shot, blinding you?

I was too busy staring at myself to comment on the beams of pure hatred. :(

2010-09-02T06:35:21-07:00

@Gekko - no worries, that was my basic cack-handed attempt at saying "my word, that looks absolutely lovely"... ;-)

@MikiM - after a hard day at work staring at aggregate piles, the couch is my best friend :D

Got bored of my hair. Still not sure if I like this better or not though. At least it feels less hot now.

2010-09-02T15:51:52-07:00

I look mostly like this, even a few days. The fact I can't grow a proper moustache is becoming apparent again.

@dervaspa: your hair is the most amazing shade of orange I have ever seen. It reminds me of candy and goldfish.

The Self-Portrait Imagethread (Sep 10)

@spillingvelvet: Oooh if that candy is candy corn I'm so happy :) Funny to think it is supposed to be red... like *very* red, but I think the lighting in the bathroom is what 'altered' the colors, on top of it being faded :)

@greasemonkey What's bad was the fact that I was not the winner of the nekkidness trophy (me and two other girls were joint 2nd). The bloke I nicked the helmet off's costume was a fur nappy, a cloak and furry boots. Anyone who saw us out of costume tended to have the reaction of 'arrgh! my eyes! you're wearing *clothes*! this is wrong!'

The Self-Portrait Imagethread (Sep 10)

Heh - I'm glad you posted your picture rather than one of the nappy bloke.

I attended a Medieval Banquet.
There was straw strewn on the floor, roasted pigs' heads on the tables, we ate with our hands, tearing loaves and holding joints of meat, wiping our fingers on the tablecloth. There might have been a protracted food fight and we might have put a man dressed as a dragon in the stocks and pelted him with bread.
This apple got shot off my head with a plastic bow and arrow.

Note for the unwary: wench dresses weaponise the female form. There is no safe angle from which to view wench dresses. Especially not this one.

Gentlemen! Please follow @Ben and @mybrainhurts example! Moar muttonchops! Moar Lemmification!

A couple of weeks ago I was Very Bearded. But it's Spring, and in this climate it's going to be wonderfully Summer in an hour or so, so I put a bit of money down and got a rather nice haircut at a barber. Which was pleasant, even when the gentleman whipped out the cut-throat blade and smiled at me. What a friendly fellow.

I am a very friendly person.

But now I am not smiling.

Possibly because I was realizing in front of the fucking washing machine wasn't the ideal location for a self-portrait.

But I got a very, very nice gift from Snowfireangel and Waxpoet that led to a genuine smile. I keep joking on Twitter that my brain hates me. So of course, they sent me this:

Snowfireangel also sent a button she made herself:

Ricochet: I'm working at a Renaissance Festival for a month+, so I'm quite familiar with that sorta garb. You'd think I'd be desensitised to its effects--then you go and stick you in one, and well--my brain pan becomes just a pan.

Pictured: the last time I'm ever going to wear that top in public. Whilst it fit well with my videogame pirate costume, I had to listen to two of my geeky male friends telling me about how they were being careful to look me in the eye when they were speaking to me, and as I walked in and out of the function, I got eyed up by the security guards like I was about to tell them how much I cost by the hour. Awkward. I do love that coat though.
Also pictured: my first experience with a chocolate fountain, after several free drinks vouchers of truly foul cocktail mix and house wine. Classy night all around.

That looks like a full Windsor knot to me. The 'normal' tie knot is technically a half-windsor.

...That does look suspiciously like a full windsor but, then again.. It could easily be half a windsor as well, the seemingly slightly askance angle of the knot might, in fact, indicate as much.
My eyes may be playing tricks on me. Not really important. More so: Very suave, and a nice knot. That obviously goes for Ben, as well.
