What do you look like?

[Kontrapunctus]

Indeed. As the picture was loading, I thought it was Paul Galbraith.

Haha. I have a poster of him in my classroom--students often ask if it's me! I don't think we look that much alike. I do wish I played like him, though.

I'm sure more than just women have stopped posting due to some of the attitudes of certain posters — that's why I haven't been around as much, but now I just ignore them.

Yes; it's true to some extent that GMG, despite being heaven in comparison to, say, your average gaming forum, does require the cultivation of a certain specialised species of tolerance. I do believe that's why my frequent concert fellow, Colin (Dundonnell), is away these days - though for me, it was just lack of spare time.

I think really the only person on this forum who's genuinely managed to get under my skin is David(Ross), but I do think that's more due to our peculiar temperaments and backgrounds, and possibly our tempers - certainly mine - interacting in a manner that's less than ideal, rather than any active intent to harass from either side.

And unlike the aforementioned gaming (and many other forums), we are mostly all grown up people here, mostly-sort-of-maybe able to agree to disagree.



Edit: On topic, this is my current Facebook profile photo - though I'm imminently shaving the beard.

You should let it grow and then trim it to make it look good, unless you hate the hair on your face or it just doesn't grow in right.

Like I said on Facebook, I was beginning to resemble Abe Lincoln, in the 'jutting 19th century beard' kind of way. So I shaved it!

Looks good, Eugene — I wore a short beard this past fall-winter and got a lot of comments, but I think I prefer clean-shaven (even if it's a pain).

Anyway, this is me today:



Finally able to go outside without a heavy coat — 53ºF, sunny; gorgeous. Went biking to sell some books and bought some new shoes with the proceeds.

Were they positive comments or negative? 
Beards are cool... if I could grow hair on the side of my face, I'd try it, but I can't grow anything more than a goatee...

I've worn a beard for a very long time (my 17-year-old son has never seen me without one) and I originally grew it partly because I thought it would be easier than shaving. I've kept it because I like the way it looks, but I find keeping it properly trimmed more time-consuming and difficult than shaving every morning.

When I was a young man my mother in law said I looked like Brian Aherne (30s movie star).When I first started teaching students saiid I looked Like Walt Disney. Years later someone said I looked like Vincent Price (50s movie star). Now they say I look like Hell! How's that for progress?

[DavidW]

Ha Q I thought you looked like Brahms!

Flattery snips?

Any relation to Béla Bartók, Corey?

[Coco]

Haha, I've never gotten that! I've gotten Stockhausen before. The person I really look the most like is my father — and, if I catch my reflection unexpectedly, I look like my grandfather (which seems to be happening more often).

I have a modest amount of hair, which is invisible in the photo, as it is white, my wife says it is silver.

Mike

[DavidW]

You look like you're amused about something Mike!

[knight66]

My wife is not used to taking photos, this was the 3rd attempt to get me somewhere in the centre of the photo.

... as it is white, my wife says it is silver.

It's a nice feminine touch: Not white, but silver.

I like your photo Mike, you look like the kind person that you are here. 

[knight66]

That's very nice of you, thanks.

Mike
