h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

i picture amy's as fluffy jumper/cardigan wearing people and reddish hair. sporty? but studious.

i picture Amys in red pvc with 6" heels long blond hair pouting red lips and a whip.
i dont get out much.

Studious, yes.

No pvc, sorry.

brown wavy hair - or red (red is good )
and... glasses????

Brown wavy hair, yes. With some reddish bits, true. No glasses, though.

Ok.

5'5" (ooh, just shot up another inch last time I was measured!!!)
pleasantly roundish. everywhere.
dark brown hair with natural red highlights, which is anywhere from messily wavy to extremely curly depending on humidity (also natural).
medium dark brown eyes
very fair skin, no freckles.

definitely an academic at heart, very quiet until you hit the right topic with me, and people have told me they would have guessed I used to work with horses. Whatever that means.

Somebody I worked with thought I had a horse, I said I didn't, so they said my parents must have horses, I said no, so they said I went to a posh school, I said no, so they said my parents must be from somewhere like Surrey, I said no... they thought cuz I'm well spoken I 'must' have had a very privileged upbringing! Me, privileged!

Amy, that's exactly how I pictured you!

Q

People around here can never figure out where I'm from because of my accent. Apparently I annunciate more than people from the northern US do and am more careful about my grammar/syntax/etc. So they all thought I was either incredibly rich and taught how to speak ( - um, no), or not American. Now that I've been living in the south while attending university, I have a slight drawl, and that added on top of my weird careful annunciation is very strange.

If I have just gotten off the phone talking to my boyfriend, who is British, the accents gets even weirder.

HEH HEH HEH HEH

You guys have no idea.

Ok. Well. BobTheFarmer and AGCBen do.

But the rest of you...c'mon, lets here it...

Oh! And BTW - CyberDog in Camden...

Ummm...we have no idea about what, exactly?

I have always wondered what people think I look like... do I want to know?

Well go on do your worst...

This will be way off..

but i imagine, jack boots or docs, combats and a scruffy t shirt with a faded band name on it.

For some unknown reason I have you down as the Daniel Jackson-Nervous Nerd type but I'm probably WAY out

i really fancy Daniel Jackson

Hmm, why?

i have bad taste apparently...

It started when i said i liked Paul Mariner (England/Ipswich/Arsenal) and has continued ever since.

Paul Mariner, you're showing your age and so am I, I'm desperatly trying to think of who were the pin up footballers of that era unfortunatly, Glenn Hoddle and Chris Waddle spring to mind and Charlie Nicholas, I guess anyone from the Spurs squad in the early 80's too

*resists urge to go dig out England world cup squad 'we'll fly the Flag' 7" single*

aaahhhh..... those were the days

Oh my God not that NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Please tell me you don't have the Spurs Squad with Chas & Dave

I doo have a CD of Footie hits and it has Diamond Lights on it

*Hides head in pillow at the thought of it*
