Pictures of me are almost non-existent, and the ones that do exist, I don't put online. But one of my favourite artists, Scott Burdick, created the painting that became my very first userpic... and one of his other paintings is as close to being a picture of me as I'm willing to show to anyone. So... new userpic. :)


Hrm. While I appreciate the compliments, let me say that this pic is not me; just fairly close. I wear eyeglasses, and that makes a difference. Also, I don't generally wear my hair that way unless I'm all dressed up. Sorry, utsuri, but my hair hasn't been longer than shoulder-length since I was twelve. :) Right now, it's in braids, but it's much more likely to just be pulled back from my face with a hairband or something, or clipped back on one side if I'm wearing it the way she is. One of these days, I may post a pic of the real me, but till then, this is almost-me. :)

I can't see the pic.

[kuangning]

Neither could I, but two other people reported they could immediately after I uploaded it. Going directly to the URL gave me an internal server error... I suspect that's the problem.

Very nice,

I still need to meet you in person...

[kuangning]

One of these days. I promise. :)

I see it now! And it's very much like my image of you, hazy and all! :)

[kuangning]

It's very much like what I see in the mirror if I don't have my glasses on - hazy and all. ;)

Very pretty indeed. :-)

[kuangning]

Thank you. :) Burdick's work never ceases to astonish me.

I don't have my glasses on, so I don't know if the pic is hazy or if it's just me.
But it is a beautiful pic.

And all my illusions are shattered.

I was convinced you had long hair. Convinced!

Why do you have not-long hair?

Argh, underpinnings of my world failing.....

Why do you have not-long hair?


Because it's frighteningly thick, and when I was twelve, my mom decided she'd cut it so she didn't have to braid it every morning. And now, well... I hate having it in my eyes, and it's too hot on my neck and shoulders, so it never usually gets longer than that because I cut it when it starts annoying me.

You're very beautiful, just as I imagined.
