Member pics (Page 2 of 6)

For members of a community that is oft accused of being the unwashed lard-ass type, we're 4/4 for defying the stereotype. I'd say we all look fit, and above all normal so far Or maybe it's only the fakers that get that stereo type? The "oh man that's so choh kuhwai, ne"... I'm sure you know of what I speak.

大笑い.  All too well... tsk...  I get shit from my friends and brother for studying Japanese and for now and again watching anime because of the stereotype.  The unwashed lard-asses give us a bad name.

I find that many stereotypes are absolute garbage, myself.  For example, most gay men I have known behave completely normally (in fact, many are more masculine than the average straight guy).  Some studies suggest that as much as 10% of the population may be gay, but how many flaming gay men have you met in your life?  Probably only a handful.  However, if you have met 10,000 men in your life, you have met 1,000 gay men, if the study's findings are accurate.  The ones over whom you can't roast a marshmallow, people just assume to be straight. 

The flamers and queens give gay men and us bisexual men a bad name. (edit: When I say 'us,' I am not referring to anyone on this board besides myself.  I just wanted to clarify for anyone who might be reading this who doesn't know that Faumdano et al are straight)

I blame the popular media for these misconceptions and prejudices.  (and why not?  Everyone else is doing it.)

あなたはブラジル人ですね、ポルト・アレグレに住んでいる？
どこで日本語を勉強していますか？

Nice safe material there on the screen in 1073 (and that looks to be the tome on the desk)

Yeah that's the tome in question to the left in the picture Quite the beast of a book. My cat is far from a 子猫 I think he must be nearing or even over 10 years old now... hmm. In any case let's see some pics of others.

[Photos were too big; uploaded smaller versions; all under 240 kB now.]

Wow, Faumdano, you look a lot different that I half expected.  You see, I have this problem where I associate avatar photos with people, so I was picturing you as a male version of Lucy (at least that's who I think I see in your avatar).

Well since someone else performed the necromancy . . . I guess I'll grace you all with my visage and environment as well. =P

In approximate date order:
My room ー centered on the computer desk
Server ー a legacy from when I thought playing with computers was fun
Narcissism - um, it was a staff photo for a science camp that I worked at
Desk #2 ー the other desk in my room
Generator - this was a demo project for the science camp

What!?  I grew long hair?! ー probably only one of three photographs evincing such
Which way? ー trying to scramble up the Middle Sister in Canmore

Going hiking ー the mop is gone!
Webcam! ー okay, okay, so I don't actually have a web camera, but I tried to simulate one, albeit one with unusual definition

In varies somehow.  Apparently it depends a lot on what I'm wearing and how I do my hair that day.  Somedays everyone thinks I look asain and other days no one seems too.

I think my dad's family's is from Borneo and my mom is from Delaware (east coast US state).  So, all-in-all, I'm part Irish, part German, part English, part Malaysian, part Iroquois (1/128?), part whatever else, and 100% Canadian. ＾＿＾

[skip this next part if you're PC ]
For some reason it feels rather odd when people refer to me as asian.  I was born and grew up in what my friends and I called White Suburban Utopia (Sherwood Park); all my friends are of European ancestry; my parent's friends were all WASPs; pretty much everyone in my high school was too (in grade 12, we were like, "Wow!  There's a black kid in our school now!"; we were half-joking, but only half; and I can only think of one student in my year who looked asian (about 300 people graduated that year)).

Oh lawdy this is one of the more recent photos of me. I shall post another one later.

He's a silly cat He'd probably love for you to. Hell, he meows at me simply because he wants to lie down on me and purr

You look a lot like one of my friends from university I think it's probably because of your long hair in those pics or something.
