Oh, MooCow, speaking of your icon, have you tried looking at it from the opposite side? Picture the hair as the mouth...
I hadn't looked at it like that before, pretty funny.

I hate looking at my own eyes so I took a picture of myself in a darkroom with the light reflecting off my laptop screen onto my glasses so I would not be able to see my eyes. Here is my Facebook picture.

It's cold in Buffalo's winters and I walk everywhere so it's a must have. But its like wearing a burka in the summer I took this picture 10 min. before shaving it off it's like shaving a sheep.

Pictures don't usually bother me so much, although I have recently realized that I find it uncomfortable to see photos (or Tv shows or movies) of people intensely making eye contact with one another. But just a regular picture does not bother me so much---although I am not a huge fan of that one that Verdandi offered the link too either.

I found it interesting because my unscientific survey among some of my friends was:
* My autistic friends disliked it to varying degrees
* My NT friends either liked it or at least did not find it disturbing
I continue to not be a fan, either.

No, but I am large and loud like the cyclops in Seventh Voyage of Sinbad.
Excellent.
I loved Harryhausen's movies when I was young. I've only managed to own Jason and the Argonauts, but stop-motion and Harryhausen still holds a place near and dear to my heart.
I got obsessed with it for a time when I found out how The Empire Strikes Back was filmed, especially the AT-AT sequence on Hoth, but I had no way to do anything without any equipment, so it never went anywhere.
ER, ANYWAY.

I watched a docu about disney cell animation 1977 then a few days later I saw the 7th Voyage and Sinbad then I figured out how to do stop motion I figured it was like cell animation but with puppets. Not bad for a 7 year old kid.
Then after seeing the behind the scenes for Empire Strikes back it filled in a lot of the missing how to's. I was doing stop motion with a super-8 film camera and wire armatures in clay then later foam latex. Having to take my super-8 film to k-mart to get developed made me have to talk to the cashier so in a way it helped me be more social around strangers. My parents were into anything that made me "come out of my shell" so they tolerated it buying Cinemagic magazines and Famous Monster of Filmland Magazines because I was willing to talk about what I read. People saw how elabrate the things I animated were and they told my parents that they thought I was going to do well in life, boy did I fool them.

Some things I wanted to get into didn't work out because I couldn't get anywhere.
Seven in 77? I was seven or eight when I saw Seventh Voyage.

Wow, Todesking, your picture reminds me of a badass evil overlord.
