Who's ready for some serious (or not so serious) fun and games?

[honestrosewater]

I remember your avatar.

I cropped it from http://www.artrenewal.org/asp/database/image.asp?id=13831" by Gerard Dou. He is one of my favorites. I love the light of the Dutch Masters. I've thought about changing it since some people think that it's me, but I really like it. Perhaps I could compromise and make a picture of myself that looks the same.

Very nice pictures, hrw. You are quite attractive, very beautiful I might say, and have a very interesting mind.

Thanks. Yeah, I'm nuts. It's okay, you can say it.

I'm sure you've changed tremendously in the four months since then.

I cut my hair much shorter.

You're an 82% match for me.

That doesn't surprise me at all; I already know their matching algorithm doesn't work. Who are you there?

Oh yeah, Prufrock is my favorite poem.

Prufrock is my favorite poem now too. You are the one who introduced me to it. I have also grown quite fond of Sad-eyed Lady of the Lowlands.

 

[Astronuc]

Yeah, I'm nuts. It's okay, you can say it.

I didn't say that. I don't think you're nuts. And I would agree with Danger on the super-amazingness.

Yeah, I was just teasing. I'm still trying to figure out what having sexy ears is secret code for.

Sexy ears?! I can think of a dark-haired elf in LOTR that was pretty sweet. She said in later interviews that she always wanted to have pointy ears, and I think that she is gorgeous with them.

 

[chroot]

Yeah, I was just teasing. I'm still trying to figure out what having sexy ears is secret code for.

What are you hoping it means?

The pictures that I was talking about are like the ones on http://www.okcupid.com/profile?u=NoseRoseToes" . Heh, it looks quite odd now that I look at it from... this site. It's not a terribly serious depiction of me. I keep having to add more to try to scare away some of the nice innocents who I fear are not prepared for my weirdness.

Ok, so, wow

 

[Math Is Hard]

Sh!t, woman! Do you even know how much I have missed you? In my fascinating, enviable, hunch-backed and Igor-esque cog sci research assistant life, not a week goes by that I don't come across some tidbit that I wish to share/discuss with you.

Glad to see you, dear pal.

 

[honestrosewater]

Not sure. Do you have a thing for pixie nuns?

Ok, so, wow

You like my nested lists, Mk?

I was about to write you if you didn't come down here tonight. I missed you tons. I've seen you in the programming section and wanted to ask how school was going, but you seem so busy, and I always end up opting not to disturb you. I do the same when I see a cool linguistics story relating to cog sci or animal communication. I'm glad you're still around.

 

[Lisa!]

Yay!

Welcome back, honestrosewater!

 

[Mk]

You like my nested lists, Mk?

Oh yes, your sarcasm and cleverness is quite exquisite too

 

[honestrosewater]

Yay!

Welcome back, honestrosewater!

Hey, Lisa! Did I hear right, that you might have found your dream man?

Oh yes, your sarcasm and cleverness is quite exquisite too

Why, thank you. Since when are you in Florida? I thought you lived in Guam.

 

[Lisa!]

He and dduardo disappeared together. I still suspect it has something to do with penguin mating season.

I still don't know dduardo is f or m!

Hey, Lisa! Did I hear right, that you might have found your dream man?

Sorta!
Well, my dream man is only good for dreams and it's impossible to live with such a guy because of his attitudes . I've been always sure of that. So my bf can't be exactly like my dream man since he seems to be good for real life but he has a lot in common with my dream man!

BTW, you look very cute! I saw your pic a few weeks ago when I was cheking your profile .

 

[honestrosewater]

I still don't know dduardo is f or m!

We know you look at his pictures all the time, don't lie.

Haha, good point.

Thanks. Tell all the studs you know.

 

[radou]

I totally second that.

Thanks. Tell all the studs you know.

Well, after I looked at your profile, I guess it's the same effect as if Lisa! already told someone.

P.S. btw honestrosewater, for some reason, until now I thought you were a male.

 

[honestrosewater]

P.S. btw honestrosewater, for some reason, until now I thought you were a male.

Thanks. Several people have mistaken me for a man around here. I figure it's because I know everything, which is something a lot of men pretend to do.

How do I know you're not pretending too, huh?

 

[honestrosewater]

I'm honest. It says so in my name.

 

[radou]

I'm honest. It says so in my name.

OK, I believe you.

And btw, what's with that sexist men-pretend-to-know-everything comments?

 

[Lisa!]

We know you look at his pictures all the time, don't lie.

It didn't help at all though but thankfully your post did!

Other than you, who else knows that??

Thanks. Tell all the studs you know.

hmmm...should I tell them that they have to wait till the next 6 years ?

Thanks. Several people have mistaken me for a man around here. I figure it's because I know everything, which is something a lot of men pretend to do.

I thought the same at 1st! You know sometimes people who meet me online accuse me of being a man but I guess that's because I'm a bit rude and cold with people whom I don't feel good about them for some reasons!

I'm honest. It says so in my name.

It also says you're a rosewater!

 

[radou]

hmmm...should I tell them that they have to wait till the next 6 years ?

Why? Did her horoscope say that she'll meet her prince on a white horse exactly in 6 years, or is she in a relationship which will end exactly in 6 years?

I said a couple years ago no boys until after school (~8 years).

But I have since changed my position on the matter. I realized it's going to take me long enough to find such a strange person as it is.

accuse me of being a man

You know, I haven't wanted to make my avatar a photo of me because my appearance is not usually relevant to what I am saying. But you just made me realize that maybe I should make it obvious that I am a woman lest people not know that there exist women like me, who enjoy what I enjoy and can do what I can do.

Did you know that Feynman -- a pretty clever fellow -- once said in http://www.fotuva.org/feynman/what_is_science.html" :

I listened to a conversation between two girls, and one was explaining that if you want to make a straight line, you see, you go over a certain number to the right for each row you go up--that is, if you go over each time the same amount when you go up a row, you make a straight line--a deep principle of analytic geometry! It went on. I was rather amazed. I didn't realize the female mind was capable of understanding analytic geometry. [my emphasis]

!

That was only 40 years ago.

 

[radou]

But you just made me realize that maybe I should make it obvious that I am a woman lest people not know that there exist women like me, who enjoy what I enjoy and can do what I can do.

Well, what do you enjoy and what can you do?

Btw, maybe you should write "I'm a woman." in your signature.

 

[honestrosewater]

Well, what do you enjoy and what can you do?

The same things that a lot of people do, but evidently I do them in a way that leaves people with false assumptions, which I can't see as being a good thing.

Btw, maybe you should write "I'm a woman." in your signature.

Yes, that is an idea.

 

[radou]

Doing same things in different ways equals doing different things, in the view of the majority.

And well, regarding the people you care about, you can always correct their assumptions. As for the others, who cares!

Welcome back honestrosewater.

Why did you go missing? Starting to remember yet?

 

[turbo]

Welcome back honestrosewater.

Why did you go missing? Starting to remember yet?

It's easy! She closed her eyes so we couldn't see her and when she opened them, there we were.

 

[honestrosewater]

Welcome back honestrosewater.

Why did you go missing? Starting to remember yet?

Thanks. Nice to see you again.

I guess it was mostly the boy thing. I did also spend a lot of time learning about and talking to computers, but that probably would have fit quite well with PF.

So where does your avatar come from on PF? Kinda reminds me of finding a candle in the dark Boy you sure are popular around here!

Why, thank you. Since when are you in Florida? I thought you lived in Guam.

Yeah, I moved to Florida in September after a few months of traveling.

It's from http://www.artrenewal.org/asp/database/image.asp?id=13831" by Gerard Dou. I think it evokes curiosity. Plus, it's pleasant to look at.

I don't mean that my avatar would need to be relevant, just that http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=physical+attractiveness+stereotyping" have shown that a person's physical appearance/attractiveness influences the judgements that some people make about them in other areas, e.g., goodness, intelligence, successfulness, and I would rather not make it a factor either way.
