you. all of you. every single last one of you. leave a comment telling me what you look like. even if i saw you yesterday. even i'll never, ever meet you. even if you're not listed as a friend and just happened across this.

i'm checking something. i'll tell you when i'm done.

and really, i'm an attention seeking whore and you're all going to soothe my fragile abandonment-issue ridden psyche by responding to this.

and if you're really good i'll send you cookies. ask junkyard. he's already gotten two batches.

Short, athletic build, long dark brown hair, blue eyes (that sometimes are unnerving to me myself, because the only color gradation is the same blue and a white silver in them) cheekbones that can give papercuts. Nose that seems perhaps too big, at least to me, but I've been told my ears are shaped nicely. And I've been told I look like anything I'm not (Irish, Finnish, German, Austrian) but what I am, because it's pure New Hampshire stock, baby. Which makes me a mutt.

I don't expect you to ship cookies all the way to me, but I do want you to know I love you, and I'm sorry I've been so busy. And please keep being happy, it makes me happy.

i don't always wink, but i tend to wink a lot. ;)

5'5", really short brown (and pastel green, currently) hair, mossy-green eyes that are always held half-shut, so I look sleepy. Glasses. Chipmunk cheeks, a slight cleft chin--but no chin if you look at me in profile. I wear a pentacle under my shirts that I don't usually take off, carry a knife with a scrimshawed handle in my pocket at all times, and wear a torn-up black leather jacket. I tend to sprawl out when there is available space, and when I have to stand around waiting I dance.

Cuter than I'd sometimes like to be.

I like talking about myself. Anyway. How's that?

Well, according to myself, I look as average as you can get, due to genes from two people who are about as polar opposite as Europeans can get.

Really wavy, longish, mousy brown hair dyed Rapunzel red-gold and worn with anime bangs in the eyes. Good smile with even teeth and sharp little canines. Brown eyes with noticeable bags underneath and expressive eyebrows that don't match my hair. Longish nose that has a pronounced crookedness when viewed from left side. Pale skin with olive tone and freckles and moles. Little taller than average--5'7"--and about average weight, a little heavy in the thighs and a little flat in the butt. But with a really nice belly that does tricks. Good muscle tone, hands that look like they do artist's work.

Yeah, that's about what I look like.
I'm curious as to know why--you want to see what sorts of things people focus on when asked, maybe?

[muninwing.livejournal.com]

nordic, in a less burly, more bookish sort of way.
new facial hair, coming in nicely thankyouverymuch
blue-gray-green eyes, usually defaulting to blue due to my wardrobe
a little extra me around the edges, but mostly pretty average.
striking to some people, completely plain to thers.
very... bjornish.

[jesfine.livejournal.com]

i look like me.
sometimes that changes.
sometimes i only resemble me... sometimes you look like me. and sometimes, just sometimes, i look like someone else completely.
but, usually, i just look like me.

Six feet tall. Rather overweight, though pretty good at carrying it well. Curly medium/light brown hair, that I think is a pain and I'd much rather it was straight, but other people seem to enjoy it, so I don't complain much. Amazingly blue eyes. Roundish features, in general. Dimples.

oh, i just reread it, and you want people to *describe* themselves, which, since you ask that of everyone, even people you know in real life, leads me to believe that maybe you want to see how people verbally describe themselves. so, my addendum is:
i am about 5'6, about 125 lbs, dark brown wavy hair, brown eyes, i've been described many times as "vaguely" ethnic, or "multipurpose" ethnic looking. meaning i look like i could be hispanic, greek, italian, middle eastern, etc. people always assume i am the same ethnicity as them. i have assymetrical ears with recessive-gene earlobes (that is to say: none), high cheekbones, a nose that i think is too big with a nose ring in it, and fairly big lips. i usually wear stuff that's either kinda 50s "retro," or circa 1993 (cords, Docs, etc.) um, i think that's about it.

I look like a bag of smashed assholes.
With a pair of tiny glass coffee tables in plastic frames suspended over my eyes.

I always look distressed; I gather this because I'll be having a fine day, and someone I know will see me walking from point A to point B and say something like "are you okay?" did you get enough sleep last night?" or "are you sick?"

I'm taller than Napoleon, but don't have enough height to be imposing or to feel right about growing my hair long. Youthful waifishness has blossomed into the spare tire of the late twenties. My eyes are something green, gray, blue and my hair is undecided as to whether it's blone or light brown. The latter is usually long in front and short in the back, and on good days can look perfectly poetic.

Thin lips. Crooked glasses. A nose that, when seen from the right angle, looks like a curve from art deco design. Dark circles under my eyes (why won't they go away?). A cleft chin. When weight is lost, a jawline not unworthy of a minor tolkein creation might reappear.

Are you trying to see how vain we are?

[linaria.livejournal.com]

short but not too short (above 5'1" and below 5'4", you guess), red mid-back-length fluffy hair that never behaves and looks shorter than it is due to curls, pale but not ghostly, slightly freckled in places, brown eyes the same color as my late rabbit's. everyone says i'm skinny but i think of myself as curvy--at the very least, i've got boobs.

no variety in clothing, same five outfits every week: some kind of black shirt, either jeans or a skirt (denim or black), and black boots. same earrings all the time because i'm too lazy to change them, and a necklace with a bunny on it. usually glasses, except when i'm reading or have lost them...

...i have this feeling this isn't the kind of description you want. and i hate talking about myself like this. so i'll stop there:)

[tisana.livejournal.com]

Actually, you look like J.W. Waterhouse's and D.G. Rossetti's wet dream come true, but hey, that's me...

[linaria.livejournal.com]

Wow. Thank you. That actually means something to me...

[amadea.livejournal.com]

Medium height, slightly on the tall side depending on who I'm with. Right now I've got an unruly mop of ash-brown wavey half-curls which, as god is my witness, is going to be reshaped into a cute hairdo sometime in the next few days. Bright blue eyes, little horn-rimmed smart-chick glasses. Curvy build, neither skinny nor particularly heavy. I tend to keep my eyes up when walking around, and lean towards people when we're talking. Small flattish nose, head shaped somewhere between a heart on one dimension and a crescent on the other. I've been told by several people recently that my physical gestures are "theatrical". I'm wearing my usual ensemble of black corduroys, black lace-up boots, a purple cashmere turtleneck and a black ribbed turtleneck sweater. I think I look a little shlempy right now because I couldn't wash my hair this morning - no hot water. Normally I think I look good, although I've been thinking recently of changing my look again - going really short or funky-colored with the hair, or losing the glasses in favor of contacts, or both.

None of my current usericons resemble me all that much, so I am being contrary by using the one that resembles me *least*.

[starrfade.livejournal.com]

I'm 5'8 and a bit, I way btwn 140-150, my upper body is wee in every way possible (hands, wrists, ribcage, boobs) but I'm quite curvy below the waist. I have chin length blondish (blonde in the US, brown in Finland) hair and a heart shaped face that sometimes has cheekbones but not currently bc I'm closer to 150 then I was before. I'm pale, see through in the wrists, I get freckles (that I love) across my nose in the summer, and have a lot of moles. My eyebrows don't match my hair at all, they've always been a really dark brown. My eyes change colour depending on my mood (they get gold in them when I've had sex) and what I'm wearing and go from green to grey to blue including all permiutations thereof. I tend to be rather dressy or in pajamas.

I've been told that I look a lot younger than I am, that I look scandinavian (duh), and that I look like legolas (my brother's friend thought of me whenever he saw a pic of legolas). I was a gorgeous child but like the rest of my siblings have started going to seed.

[sydneycat.livejournal.com]

5'3', blond medium length hair, blue eyes, curvy hour-glass figure, 145 lbs, glasses. I like black. I wear a lot of it. And jeans. And combat boots. And a ball chain. And Emily (TM) shirts. I always have dirt under my fingers no matter if I washed them a minute ago. Hopefully soon I will have a geometric sun-symbol tattoo over my heart. Basically I'm ridiculously cute looking. I admit it. I have good skin and I tan well. I have a small belly that I fear is not going away anytime soon. I have giant breeders hips (as far as I'm concerned). Someday I want to have really nice arms.

[sivvy.livejournal.com]

I look more naive than I am, though I am as innocent. I am tall but I like the regal feeling of walking in high shoes. My skin is pale and sets off the freckles making a bridge on my nose and cheeks. I have strength of arm without giving up womanly curves that pad just right when cuddling (with an extra helping of softness on top.) My hair has reached mid back now. To the blind eye it looks brown, but is burnished copper and gold in sunlight. In waves, curls or straight as my whim demands. My age rests softly, yet I was pleased to see I finally have a laugh wrinkle at the corner of my mouth. My eyes are smokey green that turn grey after I've cried. Most days, I wear sassy glasses.

Hmmm...

[greylady.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure if you're looking for a real/physical description, or a subjective/emotional description... so I'll give you both.

Subjective/emotional
I look average. My hair is dirty-blond, my eyes are pale, I have a tendency to burn whenever anyone so much as mentions sunlight. I have a face-shaped face... almost everyone I know has at some point said "I know someone who looks just like you." I'm chubby. ... and a geek. And yeah, sometimes I wear glasses.

Real/physical
I'm somewhere between 5'9" and 5'10", my hair is varying shades of blond, letting ambient light place it anywhere from light brown to gold, it's curly, and reaches just past the small of my back. I appear normally proportioned, but shopping to fit my frame is difficult... I'm in no way, shape or form 'lanky'. My shoulders are broad, and while my bones are long, they are very slender... so I look smaller than I am. I weigh 175 pounds, and might be able to loose another (illness and aftereffects put me at 235) 15-20, but hitting the chart-recommended 120 makes me look a week dead. Most of my clothes are too big for me... I haven't really re-shopped since loosing the weight.

My eyes are grey, with a ring of very dark blue around the outside edge, and a ring of yellow around the inside. Depending on light, emotion, and whether I am wearing my contacts, they appear anywhere from colorless to navy blue. My face is oval, and generally un-madeup. My features are pale, but my coloring changes quickly and to extremes... I'm very easy to make blush.

[chris-brigham.livejournal.com]

6'2" but seemingly taller because I rarely smile. 175# if it even matters under all these layers of clothing.

Blond hair -- very thick, slightly dark, looping back on itself after about five inches as though a frizzy lion's mane had suddenly aspired to be a Legolas wig. Blue eyes, modulo certain people (http://www.livejournal.com/users/amadea/36536.html)'s insistence that they can actually appear blue or green or even gray depending on my mood. Facial features vaguely reminiscent of Iggy Pop (not as chiseled of course, since I haven't been to all those places), hanging rather more loosely over the bones than they did when I was 21 (although people have a lot of trouble guessing my age since my face still sort of breaks out).

Hair normally tied back in a topknot to prevent me from looking like the Arnold Rimmer character in "Back to Reality". Black sweatshirt with red fringe (white lining showing through at the right elbow). Black jeans. English riding boots whose soles are held together by epoxy and duct tape. Black jansport backpack with various tools and charms dangling at the bottom. If you looked carefully, you would see the contact lenses in my eyes.

That's me on the extreme right (http://www.uweb.ucsb.edu/~whedon/photo210.jpg), without the backpack and dressed for a different season.
