But more importantly, good different or bad different?

Nah, I think I just confused you with someone else lol
I could have sworn you were white and had fairly long brown hair, like down to your neck almost. I'm not sure if I just made this up or saw someone else's picture and thought it was yours lol

Oh and I can't remember the pony pic.

That's what I thought he looked like before the pony pic, but I don't remember where I got that impression either. Gavin did you used to have an avatar of some white guy with long brown hair or something?

That one? He's black btw.

YES! That's it. I had forgotten about it and remember wondering if that was you photoshopped or not. I never assumed it was, but I guess my subconscious decided to assume it was. Well the pure white-colored face makes him look closer to Caucasian.

Similar misconceptions have happened with other members. Ninja and that No-Name person who used to come online, I've always had trouble remembering are male because of their avatars. I know they are, but my subconscious consistently refuses to accept it and I start imagining them as half female.

lol @ Dianeva and tommo...I have the same problem associating people with their avatars. And then someone will make a joke that it IS actually them in their avatar, or that it ISN'T, even when it is (or that they are white when they are really black, etc)...that I get so effing confused, I stopped assuming to know what anyone looked like ages ago.

posted a recent pic up!

So are you or are you not a fluffy puppy?

That's a jellyfish?!

For like two years I've been wondering what the hell it was.

Lol idk, I assume so. Though now that I look at it, it kinda looks more like a transparent teenage mutant ninja turtle holding a lightsaber..

It's lit incense, he's an old hippie and they like that sort of thing.

Wow - so it is

Of the people I know who are remotely hippie, I am the least. Likewise for old. I do, however, like that sort of thing (pleasant smelling, revelatory of others' hermeneutic frameworks).

That's cute, the old coot's in denial... (I'm joking btw, I don't mean to offend.)

Is incense good for you btw? My Mom used to light some everyday but then she stopped because someone told her the smoke was unhealthy. I've also heard people say that it can actually improve your health though.

Increased airborne particulates are generally not great for you, but it would be hard to burn incense on a scale that would have the same impact as, say, living with an indoor cigarette smoker, or just never dusting.

Not all incense is created equal, either. Most of the stuff you'll find in headshops and dollar stores is basically perfume suspended in textiles and dirt. I mostly burn Himalayan and Japanese incense, and/or sage.

While some incenses are touted to have medicinal qualities, I would not personally expect them to have much positive or negative impact beyond the aesthetic - which is hardly negligible, don't get me wrong. It would be next to impossible to create any study that would apply to more than one specific product and pattern of use, but my take is that it would take some work to get deliberately burnt incense into your top ten sources of harmful airborne contaminants.

Apparently Frankincense can help with depression. Afaik only one study so far shows this, but it's still likely.
I wouldn't be surprised if just certain smells could be very beneficial as well.

Also, if smoke is a concern, oils in an oil burner do just as well I think. Oils cost fuckloads though lol

Well, after all the fluffy pink bunnies she's consumed, it wouldn't exactly be impossible.

Gavin is damn handsome.

I've always thought that was a jellyfish too.
