Echoed from cymrullewes: How we appear online

[unixronin]

From a conversation cymrullewes had on IM:

(22:33:00) prefer trillian:  I envisage you as quite tall, good-looking in a stately, Irish kind of way, probably late thirties, red hair.

(22:33:49) prefer trillian:  Alaric, probably a shaved head, tall, not especially muscular but strong in a wiry kind of way, probably has at least one tattoo.

So, tell me y'all who have met us, would you say this is reality?  :-)

And for those who haven't met us, would you please comment with how you envisage us?

I will not be correcting any, er ... misapprehensions until everyone's had a chance to comment, to avoid biasing the data ;)

(Of course, at least two of my userpics give fairly good information ..... don't peek!)

Please bear in mind that I seldom remember, or recognize, physical characteristics. Also, attempting to visualize the clay vessel when all I have seen is the elegance of the mind is more that a bit daunting.

I picture you as mid tall (about 6 foot) carrying perhaps 10 to 20 extra pounds. Slightly balding (if only from pulling hair from having two little ones). Hair is dark, curly. Rectangular face. No facial hair. Fit, within the limits of current physical restrictions. Not bulky or wiry, somewhere in between. ???

cymrullewes I have had much less interaction with, and not read as much. I suspect that most of her beauty is from her mind, but she would still be quite attractive. (Sorry, all I can think of is Ginny Heinlein, in one of her many guises. Intelligent, resourceful, capable [requirements for a Mom])

Do I come close?

Yeah, I have a few pounds around my waist I could stand to lose, due to limited ability to exercise (notably that I can't run yet). But no sign of balding yet, and straight to wavy hair, not curly. I have a few little bald spots, but most of them are scars I've had since I was 18 months old.
