OK, I've broken down and decided to post a picture of myself.

[antigone382]

I'm still not sure I should be revealing my identity...but what the hell, I like this pic, and if there's some creepy stalker out there who is REALLY desperate to find out who I am, he can probably do it anyway. So here I am.



Anybody else willing to take the plunge, so I don't feel so alone?

[RetroLounge]

1. Sure, why not.

I like creepy stalkers as much as the next guy...



RL

[antigone382]

2. We're both looking at the camera from the same sidelong, suspicious angle.

lol

[RetroLounge]

11. Replied below to myself somehow, meant for you.

:D

RL

[RetroLounge]

7. That is very true

but I smiled thru my suspicion, hiding my cynical, evil self from the scary photographer person right before I attacked her for stealing my soul with her digital camera thingie.

or something like that...

:rofl:

RL

[antigone382]

24. LOL! Poor photographer!

:rofl:

I couldn't do that to the girl that took my pic, seeing as she's one of my best friends...

[RetroLounge]

28. and she still got away with my soul

or maybe I never had one? Never quite sure about those kind of things.

She claims she sold my soul on eBay but I told her I already sold my soul years ago to a traveling band of gypsies for a pint of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and a mood ring.

:D

RL

[antigone382]

31. LMAO!!!

I hope the mood ring worked...though I'm not sure what your moods would be, lacking a soul and all...

[RetroLounge]

38. The mood ring is on permanent black

so I suspect it has malfunctioned.

But sometime late at night while lying awake in bed from too many double mint mochas I wonder out loud if maybe it's my mood itself that is just always really foul, and then realize I am not in my own room, nor am I in my own bed, nor do I have an internal monologue, so I quitely put on my chaps and sneak down the stairs and leave before yet another local constable is awakened from his slumber to chase me out of still another small town in rural america.

Sigh, those damned gypsies...

RL

[antigone382]

43. mmmm....double mint mocha...

sorry, what were you saying?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. You look fantastic, my dear RL!

See my remarks below in your response to my pic.....


*sigh*


:loveya:

[Left Is Write]

61. You're just so darn cute, I can't stand it.

[RetroLounge]

75. You should see me in a pink wig!

:hi:

Thanks, and nice pic down thread, by the way.

RL

[Left Is Write]

79. Uh oh...

Am I going to be the butt of pink wig jokes foreverafter? x(

[RetroLounge]

85. Not if you post pictures of you wearing the Auburn Wig too

:blackmail:

RL

[Left Is Write]

87. Mmm hmmmm....

I'd better get out shopping, then!

[LeftyMom]

3. That's a great photo

This is me:

[antigone382]

5. LOL, love the shirt!

Took me a second to figure it out, and usually I'm good at reading backwards (comes with being left-handed, right-brained and all)

Ahh, the classic mirror shot! Beautiful stuff.

(thanks about the pic, btw, my photographer friend took it...she's awesome).

[LeftyMom]

49. Thanks, it's a favorite of mine

My best friend the photographer moved away, so all my recent photos are DIY. I need to get her to take a few of me when she's out to visit.

[RetroLounge]

13. Either you need a shower

or your mirror needs windex...

Love the shirt!

:hi:

RL

[LeftyMom]

19. Probably both

but I kinda like the effect from the toothpaste dribbles on the mirror.

[RetroLounge]

20. Looks like the mirror here in the bathroom the kids use

Toothpaste dribbles, hand prints, unknown stuff, etc.

:hi:

RL

[LincolnMcGrath]

40. You're a cutie!

Love the shirt too!

[LeftyMom]

51. Why thank you!

:)

[entanglement]

44. Am I allowed to call you 'superhot', Madam Moderator?

:loveya:

[LeftyMom]

48. Locking

:blush:

[antigone382]

59. Wow, that would be another first for me!

LOL

[Left Is Write]

62. LOL! I love that shirt too.

[flvegan]

67. ...

You, you make me happy to be a man. A man that really digs exceptionally beautiful women, and exceptionally beautiful people.

Kiss, love.

[LeftyMom]

82. Oh stop it you're embarassing me.

:blush:

[flvegan]

106. No.

Freedom of speech means that I get to sing your praises anywhere I wish.

Although...on the flip side, if you wish me to stop, your desire trumps mine. As it always does, has and will.

[LeftyMom]

109. Okay you called my bluff

I like it when you sing my praises. :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. OK...here's a pic of me from August of this year....at a local Farmer's

Market...

[antigone382]

8. Wow, what a beautiful photo!

The bright green trees really make you stand out!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. Thank you so much!

We couldn't get that pic now...the trees have all been pruned back and it just does not look as nice......

I was unusually happy that day as well......


:hi:

[antigone382]

26. Well, you're absolutely radiant in it.

:)

[RetroLounge]

9. Hey There Cute Stuff!

:hi:

How are you?

RL

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. My dear RetroLounge!

You are too sweet....I am not usually that pretty...

But nonetheless....I am fine!

I loved your anniversary pic thread, BTW...I think I posted in it...

Boy, if you weren't married......just sayin'.....:blush:

[RetroLounge]

22. Well, if MrsRetro ever tosses me overboard

I'll be on a train to California in a heartbeat!

Because you are ALWAYS that pretty, inside and out.

:hi:

RL

[CaliforniaPeggy]

Well, I very much doubt that Mrs. Retro would EVER be that

foolish!

Nor would my husband ever be .......

But it's fun to dream.....and flirt......


I thank you for your very kind words, and that's the truth!


:yourock:

[bigwillq]

17. Always classy!

I've seen this pic before and I love it! :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. You are such a loyal contributor to my happiness, my dear

bigwillq!

Thank you......:loveya:

[bigwillq]

29. Glad to be of help!

I posted my pic below but it's the same pics that I always post because those are the only pics I have that are downloaded.
I'm not good with posting pics and other high-tech! computer things!
:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

41. I love your pics, my dear!

I'm glad you posted that link.......I need to be reminded of what you truly look like....

I keep thinking that you're this massive hulk of a guy...when you're not at all....but how good looking you are, with a great smile and spirit shining out ......

Size does NOT matter when your heart is as big and loving as yours is...

:loveya: :hug:

[bigwillq]

45. Awww.....

"Size does NOT matter when your heart is as big and loving as yours is..."

Thanks for those kind words.
They really do mean a lot! :) :pals:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

54. I know they do......

And I mean them ......


:loveya: :pals:

[Left Is Write]

57. Pretty as a picture, Peggy.

As always! ;)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

113. My dear Left Is Write......

I thank you ........


:loveya: :pals:

[bigwillq]

6. Looking good!

:hi:

CLick on this link to see me!

[antigone382]

12. Great pics--I love fountains.

You have a wonderful smile!

:hi:

[bigwillq]

Thank you!

:hi:

[HEyHEY]

10. Me in all my glory

[antigone382]

15. lol

Nice pipe.

[RetroLounge]

16. What's in the pipe?

as if we didn't know...

RL

[JohnnyCougar]

14. I haven't done this in a while...

So there I am!

[antigone382]

18. There you are!

You have really cool hair...I <3 spikes.

[JohnnyCougar]

30. Thanks...

It's not so spikey anymore. I kind of shortened it up, and sometimes I comb it into a mowhawk-type spike.

By comb, I mean hand comb, too. I haven't used a hair brush or a comb for about 10 years.

BTW, I like your necklace. Is that blown glass?

[antigone382]

33. Yes, sort of...I got it at Bonnaroo.

I swore that I would get one cool hemp necklace before I left, and it took me forever to find one that I liked...I would have liked it even better if it was a little less opaque, but that's ok...it's my "mojo charm."

[JohnnyCougar]

53. Bonaroo...

My friends went down to that. They do every year. I have never been there, though.

I used to have a "maharaja bracelet" that I got in India. I used to think it had mojo, too. But that was just a myth. It didn't help me meet women.

Now I have my lucky shirt. I have gotten two girls' numbers with my lucky shirt in less than a month! So my lucky shirt must work!

Good luck with your mojo :-)

[antigone382]

55. LOL, thanks...

It hasn't been working quite as well as I would like...but that's OK.

I've worked at 'Roo for the last two years, selling pizza...it's exhausting work, but it's a lot of fun, and you meet some really awesome people!

I got to ride in a van with one of the bands playing there, named Superjam (the only person who ever heard of them was my brother, lol, but I still think it was cool).

[WindRavenX]

32. um, helloooo hottie

:loveya:

[antigone382]

35. oh wow, now I feel like an idiot

sorry for stealing JohnnyCougar's thunder, lol.

[WindRavenX]

47. you're hot too!!!

GORGEOUS face! :loveya:

[antigone382]

52. Aww, thanks!

:blush: :loveya:

[JohnnyCougar]

42. Thanks Wind Raven...

I don't even think those are good pictures. I want to take some more, but I never get around to it.

Where are your pictures! I seem to remember you being a cute one yourself!

[WindRavenX]

46. here's me:

Im a bit nutty :hi:

[antigone382]

50. Aww, I love the zebra cowboy hat...and the shirt, too.

what a cute pic. :hi:

[JohnnyCougar]

126. Told you so :)

How's Boston College treating you?

[WindRavenX]

129. meh

I just was notified that my MPN was lost in the mail- FROM FUCKING SEPTEMBER. So I owe the university "only" 14K :eyes"

[WCGreen]

34. Nice eyes.....

[antigone382]

36. Thanks!

:hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

37. I gotta quit lookin' at pic threads

I keep... well, you know... :loveya:

Hell, I'll even admit JohnnyCougar is sorta cute.

[antigone382]

39. LOL...hey, our screennames sort of go together!

[Left Is Write]

56. It's a nice picture! I've already overshared pics.

[antigone382]

58. But I haven't seen one!

And I'll pout if I don't get to...:(

[Left Is Write]

60. OKay, then. I don't want to be responsible for poutage.

Here's what I look like in the pink wig I wore to a Halloween party last Friday:




And here's what I look like without the pink wig:

[antigone382]

63. Wow, you know how to wear pink!

Both are great pics...I love the wig!

[Left Is Write]

65. Thanks!

I had a lot of fun with the wig.

I told my husband I want to get an auburn one and a brunette one too.

[antigone382]

68. You know you'll have to post pics of yourself in them both!

lol

[RetroLounge]

83. Love the wig!

You put the HOT in pink!

What costume did your husband wear to the party?

:hi:

RL

[Left Is Write]

92. He dressed as a blonde version of Eric Carr (of KISS).

He had a spiky blonde mullet wig, and he put on the Eric Carr makeup with it.

I was supposed to be his groupie, but a couple people asked me if I was Sydney Bristow from Alias.

[flvegan]

64. My dear, you cannot overshare pics.

To keep such beauty locked away is a crime against picture threads.

It's in the DU rules. You COULD get in trouble...

[no name no slogan]

66. What the hey...

Here's a picture of me and my SO, DUer Sugar Smack, taken a few weeks ago:


Here's a pic of me I haven't posted around yet too much:


EDIT: because I cannot spell "DU"

[antigone382]

71. What a lovely couple!

You look like you're concentrating on something very important and profound in the second pic.

[no name no slogan]

76. Aw thanks!

We met through DU, actually. Your photo is quite nice, too, BTW!

In the second photo I think I was concentrating on how to get that new-fangled webcam to work-- I confuse quite easily :silly:

[Left Is Write]

73. You two look great together.

A mighty fine looking couple!

[no name no slogan]

93. Thank you!

I've almost got her convinced to come to St. Paul for Thanksgiving!

I live in the Crocus Hill/Summit Hill neighborhood, which (you probably know) has a lot of F. Scott Fitzgerald-related buildings, so I promised her the grand tour if she dares venture north in November.

Heck, we probably won't have more than a foot of snow on the ground by then. ;)

[Left Is Write]

97. I was just speaking of a St. Paul landmark earlier tonight -

I told my daughter about a dinner I went to at the James J. Hill house a few years ago.

St. Paul is my favorite city.

[no name no slogan]

99. I have fallen in love with St. Paul

I'd been a lifelong Minneapolitan (35+ years), and just moved across the river in August. I've always had a soft spot for St. Paul, and living here has just reinforced how much I really do love the place. What a great town. I can't believe I never lived here before!

[Left Is Write]

103. We were living in Inver Grove Heights when we got the offer to come here.

I wish I still had my cozy house in IGH with the built-in bar (lovingly hand finished by my husband) and woodburning stove.

Then I really could invite you and SS over to sample my holiday baking.

[no name no slogan]

134. Wow, that would be GREAT

Built-in bar, huh? Pretty cool! Not to mention your awesome baking powers! :D

[antigone382]

100. I love F. Scott Fitzgerald.

He and Sylvia Plath are probably my two favorite American writers.

I've kind of always wanted to write something about him and Zelda Sayre--a play, a movie, or something--but so many people have tried, and the result was cliched and lacked credibility. It would be hard to get away from all the preconceptions and stereotypes about their lives--Zelda wasn't REALLY Daisy, for chrissakes--and I just don't know if anyone will ever be good enough to do their story justice.


Oh! And it's also the home of A Prairie Home Companion! Oh now I am jealous!

[no name no slogan]

133. I live in a building Scott took dance lessons in

It used to be a boarding school for girls 100 years ago, and he used to take dance lessons there as a boy. The house he lived in for ten years is only one block east of me.

I work about a block away from the Fitzgerald theatre, too! Not a bad place to be-- even when it's only 37° out this morning.

[Floogeldy]

69. You are definitely stalk worthy.

;)

[antigone382]

74. LOL, will you be my official lounge stalker?

I don't think I've ever had one before.

:evilgrin:

[Floogeldy]

104. Bwahahahah!

I'd like to help you out, but I get distracted too easily and you would probably end up disappointed.

:banghead:

[antigone382]

105. LOL, oh well.

Yeah, I really don't have time to give a stalker the proper attention anyways...

[La Lioness Priyanka]

77. bad floogedly

[Floogeldy]

107. As usual.

}(

[Floogeldy]

70. You are definitely stalk worthy.

;)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

72. heres one of me....

you are very cute

[antigone382]

78. You always look beautiful in all your pics, Lionesspriyanka.

I must confess, I'm just the *teeniest* bit jealous, lol.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

81. dont be ....you should see me now

dark circles...bad skin...hair is a mess


and you are very pretty

[Floogeldy]

88. You look great!

Hey, let me know if you're ever in Oklahoma. Maybe we could get a couple bottles of liquor and rent a motel room.

JUST KIDDING YOU!

Thanks for the pic.

;)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

89. ha ha!

welcome!

[flvegan]

80. Yeah, I know...get a new picture, would ya!

and this oldie

[La Lioness Priyanka]

84. are you always coordinated with your walls

:P


nice pic...

[flvegan]

91. hellllllllooooo, my dear

Yes, but only when I'm doing publicity shots.

And other shots...of adult beverages.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

95. hey,,,i posted a pic of me too

Did you see the wedding pics?

[flvegan]

101. See them?

I SAVED them.

Yum.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

127. someone just said i should lose 100lbs

[antigone382]

86. I don't care if it's an old pic, I like it!

You've got the Mr. Clean pose down, my friend (and the arms to go with it, lol).

[flvegan]

94. My hairline is retreating

(high testosterone, genetics, etc) and I should go the Mr. Clean route. I WAS told by my hairdresser dude that I have a great head for it...

[Dangerously Amused]

122. Flvegan? ...Mr. CLEAN?!!?

Oh...my...god... ohmygod! Aha ha ha ha ha ah!...oh no, oh my...ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Oh, hee hee hee heee heeeeee! =gasp= bah ha ha hah haaaa haaaaaaa! Eeeeee hee hee hee!
Oh help, hyperventilation! Oh hee hee hee hee hee, ah ha ha ha ha ha !!

->CLUNK<- Falls off chair in convulsion of laughter. Keeps laughing.....


:rofl:

[flvegan]

137. .

I can neither confirm nor deny your oh-so-subtle remarks.

[Left Is Write]

90. Oldies but goodies!

I'm quite sure no one would get tired of them. :D

[flvegan]

96. And yet, I have this image of a pink wig in my head...

wonder why...

[Floogeldy]

98. You have it in your head?

Hell, I have it on my hard drive.

Bwahahahah!

;)

[flvegan]

102. Heh heh...

Photographic memory serves me better.

Shhhhh...don't tell *whisper* I might have it too.

Those shorts...oh, the thoughts I"ve had...

[Left Is Write]

108. You guys are scaring me.

[Poiuyt]

110. Here's me in high school. Does that count?

You see, my hair was thicker back then.

[Oeditpus Rex]

111. Wow, an indoor track meet?

Where'd you go to high school? And what event was that?

[Poiuyt]

116. Indoor track is common in the midwest and especially in the northeast

I went to school in Wisconsin. The event was the half mile (800 meters is what they run now)

[antigone382]

112. It's like one of those glorious shots from the Olympics.

Excellent action pic, Poiuyt!

[Poiuyt]

117. It was a long way from the Olympics!

Coincidently, I have raced against two different Olympic gold medal winners. Perhaps I should say, I was in the same race with them.

[antigone382]

120. That's really cool!

Were they Marathons?

[Poiuyt]

121. No, college cross country and then in various road races

I remember finishing the cross country race and looking over and seeing the gold medal winner. He was in his sweats already and joking with friends! That's how far behind I was!

[qnr]

114. Hmmm, that photo makes me feel like I just told a corny joke

nice one

[antigone382]

115. LOL, it's what I call my "if only you knew what I'm thinking right now"...

...look

[datasuspect]

118. gawd, i said i'd never do this . . .

me fresh out of the academy.

went to the jupiter sulfur mines shortly after this pic . . .

[antigone382]

119. Then this happened:

(at least, I think it's the same guy...)

[Dangerously Amused]

123. THAT'S not YOU, that's Richard Nixon! nt

[antigone382]

124. Edit: and once a gain, I post when not posted to.

Damn it!

[Dangerously Amused]

125. Hee hee, our posts crossed and now this one won't make sense w/o yours!

This post has been coded to self destruct.



:nuke:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

128. Mine: Something to celebrate ..........

[ghostsofgiants]

130. You're cute...

:hi:

And once again, I have the same old picture:

[HughBeaumont]

131. Well, since you made this effort, here's my redundant grainy photo . .

Taken 2 months ago. The beard has since been erased.

[nickinSTL]

132. ok, since we're posting pics...

I've never posted one of me here, so...

(note: this is 2-3 years ago...I now have a full beard, slightly better haircut, and weigh about 20-30 lbs. less)



(ok, why is the pic not showing, just a link? :shrug:)

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

135. Might I say that you're quite beautiful

And also allow me to muck up this thread with my own ugly mug:

[Arkana]

136. *wolf whistle*

Damn, you're cute.

EDIT: For mature audiences only:












If you must scream, do it in the parking lot.

[sundog]

138. here i am

[MrScorpio]

139. My pic for a little kick
