The Real Me


Aurelia

3,128 views

I've noticed that people are very protective of their real identities around here. Very few use their real names or even post a photo of their real selves in their profile page. This is a virtual community so it's normal, I guess. But human curiosity is also natural so I imagine that after a while we all end up wondering what our virtual friends are really like in real life, what they look like and so on... Or is it just me??

 

I'm not revealing my true identity just yet but I thought I would at least give you a little glimpse of the "real me". Or at least of what I used to look like 20-odd years ago, hehe...

This photo was taken on Christmas eve in 198?? - I'm the one with the startled look on the left, sitting next to my cousin (with a cast on her arm, poor thing). I think one of us must have been given a make-up set for Christmas and we were obviously testing it already. :D

 

Should anyone else have the "guts" to post their pic here, please feel free. :)

Nice pics, Aurelia! Looks like you have had quite some interesting adventures!

Thanks. Yes, I had a nice time in Mozambique. I was working there last year on a malaria prevention project. These pics were taken outside the village disco (actually, it was more like a mud-hut disco). Very surreal to see that in the middle of the bush. :D

Nice pics, Aurelia. Cheers.

Absolutely. No need for it to be painful at all! (sigh) just like Katherine Hepburn in 'The African Queen' :D

Now.. lets see if you can extract some personal pics from some of the others. I would LOVE to see MPC in the flesh!

Wow how could I miss this thread. Anyway there have always been my picture (And real name I believe) in my profile, but I might just as well post it here too.

It's updated as lately as two weeks ago actually!

Ooooh, this is so much fun! Thanks for the pics everyone. And thanks for pointing out who you were in your photo GP - for a moment I was a bit confused. :D

 

P.S. All you gentlemen look very distinguished. Suddenly UNRV has become a more interesting place to hang around. :)

Heheh, I've seen MPC's pic, but I'm not telling where. A very nice pic, too! (I never would've guessed he was a fiery redhead.) I'll see if I can talk him into posting it here.

This thread should be a front page article. "Match the Faces to the Names."

 

Haha too bad that so many have revealed themselves already!

Aha! Unless we all post our baby photos as originally intended. I'm sure I can come up with another kiddie pic. :D

I could do that as well, but I would have to get home to Sweden first, I didn't pack my baby-myself-collection :)

Oh come on! I think I saw your baby pic here somewhere... And it didn't look bad at all. :D

I'm sure our Viggen was an adorable baby.

 

I second Aurelia's motion to make it a baby picture match-up. My adult picture is too scary to put on UNRV's front page (or I'm too scared for it, take your pick).

Not at all, Neph. You look very cool - a bit like a rock star. I, on the other hand, look like one of those crazy hippie-ladies/missionaries who go to work in Africa, hehe.

I thought you look like a blonde Minnie Driver!

I really don't see the fascination with baby pictures. Must be a female thing.

 

But does anyone want a little page somewhere on UNRV that has a photo and maybe a little bio of the regulars?

Baby pictures are heeee-larious! Especially when you put goofy captions to them.

We kind of have that already with our profile pages, don't we?

They are indeed!

 

We'll have to give our baby pics to one of the Triumviri, so no-one here sees anyone else's pic.

 

I think Viggen is already in on the game. Maybe he would be so kind as to take care of our pics?

I must agree.

I would like that actually.
