Since the last one of these threads we've had a generation of new regulars, so it'd be interesting to see what they look like (and for them to put a face to a name) - plus we already have a name thread and a desktop thread, so why not a face thread?

Here goes, your loveable huggable Seppuku -

Before I had my haircut over a month a go:

Taken recently with my webcam:


So post yourselves posing to the camera - though, please, no My Space poses - everytime someone does one of those vain poses a kitten dies...though come to think of it, mine kind of looks like I'm posing as a thinker, bugger, there goes another kitten.

I need a haircut. And a shave. Can't be bothered to do either. Taken on my hopeless laptop webcam.

I guess I'm one of the younger people on here. And yes a picture to the right (left from my point of view) of my computer is very (not) interesting.
And ah, yes I am semi asian, therefor I must own at everything right?

Here's a pic of me yesterday, trying on my clothes for an interview. Thought I looked pretty sharp so I took a photo. I'm actually dressed up like that right now as I am leaving for the interview shortly. Wish me luck!

I can't fly but I levitate when I get angry, and for the record, I actually do know kung fu hah.
EDIT: Oh crap! I flew! Just now! I promise I just started flying with my awesome asian powerzzz.

Seppuku, you look unimaginably different in those two photos.

And now for me, I'm probably one of the younger people too.

The only recent picture of me on the internet. I'm struggling to keep it that way lol:



Don't adjust your monitors. I really am that sheckshy . lol that's probably the worst picture ever taken. Wearing a red t-shirt in a red room on a crappy webcam with a reddish tint. Yep, Matt needs to get one of them new-fangled digital cameras one of these days. But I guess it could be worse... at least I don't look like this guy:

Half of everything, unless you're related to Chuck Norris - then you're half Chuck Norris awesome and half Asian awesome...but you can do Kung Fu, and they told me I was being a racist stereotyper when I said all Asians could do Kung Fu.

Quote: "Seppuku, you look unimaginably different in those two photos.

Hehe, all I did was cut my dreads off and stop wearing my bandana - there's only a couple of months difference between the photos. Though I miss the dreads; I could hit people with them.


Zeke, I think you're now officially the only person excuse to make typography errors, it must be bloody difficult typing.

Dink, looking very sharp, my experience in hanging around bars and clubs, girls dig a man in a suit (at least my female friends go mad for men in suits), lets hope your interviews dig a Dink in a suit. Good luck man!

Well there are a lot of people knowing kung fu, and my parents forced me to learn it because my dad knew it and then his dad knew it and his dad knew it and all the damn way back to whatever.
But saying that all asians know kung fu is certainly NOT a racial stereotype =)
And for the record, I think you look a lot better without the dreads

Hehe, I know - mind you I've always fancied trying Kung Fu and probably will once I've got my black belt in Karate, my Shihan wants me to go for that next April, though I don't think I'll be ready...having only just coming back after a 2 year break (studying and hence the extra weight) I don't think I'll be fit enough.

Quote: "And for the record, I think you look a lot better without the dreads"


Haha! Though I think I'll miss the Bob Marley impressions I used to get when walking down the street...though it will mean that bouncer at the Australian bar won't recognise me. (Not that I've misbehaved...he just wouldn't leave me alone because he didn't think my bandana went with a suit)

This is me in march or april; it was my first pastel drawing aside from the one study I did before hand. My guess is that it was 2 x 3 feet?

Gah, I need to do a new self portrait soon.

@seppukku - Yes, it is quite hard to type. Quite hard to stay on topic, as well, because by the time I am finished with the message usually 5 others have been posted. I also wish I had joints too, so I wouldn't have to do crazy body jumps to type the keys.

LOL. Well as dumb as it sounds. I wouldn't know Ben Affleck if he walked up and slapped me in the face, in fact I can honestly say that's the first time I've seen him and knew who it was. I don't much care or pay attention to the entertainment industry. I watch movies and rarely pay attention to who acts in them. I don't go to a movie just because it has a certain actor in it. I don't study this stuff at all, so. Yeah

Here I am a couple of weeks ago. I had something in my eye, and, I wasn't feeling very well.



Actually, here's a recent shot of me trying to dunk it, or something. I'm not as thin as I look in that shot, but I am about 6 foot 2 inches and only about 140 pounds, no matter how much I eat:
