 whats in a name or can you name that baby face
How do you feel when someone changes their blog picture?
It takes me awhile to get used to the new one

or in some cases
an old one

reused

Ive thought about changing mine
my two dogs have been on here forever
and I dont even like that picture of them

when I first arrived at never never blog land
I used a real picture of myself


who knew
that hardly anyone does

actually
I think it would be sort of nice
if everyone did

not that it really matters what people look like
especially here in blog land
its whats inside that counts

here, you are able to prove that theory

too many times
the way a person looks

influences how you feel about them
thats
another story

we all have a mental picture of the people on this site
at least I do
do you?

when we went to Vegas
Pauligan
was the only one that looked anything like his picture
it was quite amazing

I was totally blown away
by all the others
no one was anything like I had imagined

sometimes I will start reading someones blog
and follow them without ever looking at thier profile
and discover by a random comment
that I even guessed the wrong sex
and Im totally off when it comes to someones age

I thought I had been giving advice to a young boy
and he actually turned out to be a grandpa
I had no idea


  people use
all sorts of pictures and wacky names
even cartoon characters
to represent themselves


it would be funny to have a baby picture contest with the cartoon character people
or the ones that are pictures of animals
or inanimate objects
they could submit a picture of how they looked when they were a baby

like badlydrawnstick man as a boy or a baby
badlydrawnstickbabyboy

or
be right back

I just went to get some names,
these are the people who are on here right now
I wonder what their fake baby pictures would look like?
could be fun to try to guess?

Now I'm being honest here, but myself and another blogging friend were only discussing this very topic this morning!

How from reading someone's blogs and getting to know their style and expressions, we create a picture in our minds of how that person may look.


So Roe you are not alone, maybe it's just human nature?! :)

Meeeee tooooo ... decided to give Devil cat a break - his head was getting too big being on all my blogs!

So I put my face on ... and have had a lot of reactions to it ... mmmmm maybe i'd better go find a cartoon baby to replace my face :)

Oh and sometimes it's best to have your own impression of what people look like ..... if you know what I mean.

ps - love to see the old avatar .. of you!!

pps - Am I the only person in the world who did not know that our small pictures are called AVATARs???

Maybe we are so famous that we would like to stay annonymous. mmmm, bet you never thought about that one. he he

E2S
you were one of the people who inspired this post.
I glanced at my bookmarks yesterday and thought, who are these people?

Merideth changed back to Merideth, you morphed into a human and Bunnie was a different bunny and some scenic avatars(no I had no idea thats what you called them...thanks for the tip, you certainly are a wealth of info)
anyway,

the scenes changed scenes and necronomincon looked like a rock band or a very hip family and linus looks like a different cat and anglewings had a make over...
Misselusive, your avatars is really mysterious, someday, when I grow up, I'd like to be mysterious for just a little while... at least, I bet it feels so cool! Kaybee, is that Texas you are sitting on? You must be a such a state!
oh aaahhh, oh, I dont think you will be around here too long once the spam control comes around...to bag you and take that blank look off your face! Im sure you could come back as someone else if you behave!

Greenersky, you changed a few weeks ago, Ive just begun getting used to the new you and I bet you will change it, so I had better not get too attached...
I know Miss Marie has changed too...I would love to see before and after pics? We could blow the audience at Harpo studios out of the water!

You cracked me up with the statement of thinking you were giving advice to a little boy and he was a grandpa. So funny. I actually change my picture depending upon my level of confidence. If I feel like I need to be invisible, I feel more vulnerable with my picture up. When I am more comfortable, I put my picture back up. I might actually switch back to a non-picture later today!

Roe, that is truly me holding the lobsters, and bid D has been my nick name for 26 years

Interesting blog. To tell you the truth I do look at profiles and I make my decision whether I want to talk to that person or not. If their profile indicates that they are immature I'm done with that person. Just to let you know I am very good at reading between the lines.
