Haha, realise I am probably going to get shot down in flames for being self-indulgent and attention seeking, but hope for a few answers also....

I build up a picture of MNets in my head from what they write, how they write and the subjects they post on. Sometimes I come across an opinion on a thread from a poster that really suprises me because Otto doesn't fit with the impression I had of that poster and so my poster persona evolves. I love eclectic 'odd' people in RL, so I really enjoy not being able to pigeon hole people

I have always been a bit fascinated by how other peoples interpretations of words and actions can be very different from the intention. And also how people can be very different depending what company they are in....

So, it occurred to me today, MN is a perfect opportunity to ask alias of people 'what do you think of me?' (if anything)!

Oh. Where is LeQueen these days? >>> goes off to search

Errrrrr eatsbrainandleaves - you've totally just freaked me out!

EatsBrainsAndLeaves · 18/05/2012 12:20

Was I seriously right then? Grin

Scottish - because I am sure wheesht is a scottish word
2 kids - Sure I read a post somewhere that you said you had 2 kids
Late 20's - just average age to have 2 kids
Hippylike/laid back/slightly messy house - Just the choice of name which is basically a laid back way of telling your kids to shut up.

I am not stalking you - honest

5madthings · 18/05/2012 12:26

i recognise your name but cant think from what thread or if a agreed or disagreed with you!

there are def some posters that i recognise and find myself agreeing with often exoticfruits springs to mind :)

and there are others i recognise from certain types of discussions ie pnd or bfeeding etc.

there are some lovely mnetters i have the pleasure of knwoing in rl life but i often forget their mnet names!

i was 4madboys before becoming 5madthings and i am sure some will recognise me for a particular thread i did under my old name!

oh and flissflapps has posted on some threads that i have and recently had a MASSIVE baby so kudos to her, i followed/stalked her a bit when she was overdue and was pleased to here she had had her baby :)

i also 'know' some posters as they are on another forum that i use!

LMFAO at the EatBrains assessment of Hully Gully!!!!

"you bake some gorgeous cakes - which may account for your generous figure.

On that has tickled me!!!!

DO YOU LOT THINK I AM FAT? COME ON? I NEED TO KNOW!!!!

BeaWheesht · 18/05/2012 12:30

Well I'm 31, 2 kids (5.5 and almost 2). Defo have a messy house :( yes quite hippyish thought a bit too neurotic to be laid back.

Tell me more tell me more!!

EatsBrainsAndLeaves · 18/05/2012 12:35

porca - I think you are very slim, very well groomed and pretty although slightly scary

BeaWheesht - Thats it sorry. I have no other insights

BeaWheesht · 18/05/2012 12:36

Good cos I was seriously worried you knew me there ;)

EatsBrainsAndLeaves · 18/05/2012 12:37

Were you Grin. No honest I don't

BeaWheesht · 18/05/2012 12:39

Eatsbrainsandleaves - has anyone guessed you yet?

My guess is mid 30s, 3 kids - all boys, works in a high powered job, very well groomed.

EatsBrainsAndLeaves · 18/05/2012 12:40

No nobody has guessed me yet

EatsBrainsAndLeaves · 18/05/2012 12:41

Why do you think those things?

OrmIrian · 18/05/2012 12:42

If anyone is interested I am in fact a shape-changing woman/dragon. No, really. The pics on my profile are a total red-herring.

monkeymoma · 18/05/2012 12:42

I have seen your username a lot on threads I've read, but have no opinion of you, none of your posts stand out in my memory really.

I take each thread as it comes, so I might think you are a voice of reason on one thread, then forget you and think you are a twat of highest order on another thread

looks like people just don't think about you as much as you think they do Grin

porcamiseria · 18/05/2012 12:42

eatbrains

I like you ALOT

I suspect you are a Gisle Bundchen lookie like

BeaWheesht · 18/05/2012 12:42

I don't know why tbh, just an instinct which is wrong I'm guessing

PrincessFiorimonde · 18/05/2012 12:43

Bejeezus, have seen you on other threads but don't tend to form 'physical' images of other MNers in my mind.

But lurvve EatsBrains' description of Hully! Going by that, have just realised that Hully must be a neighbour of mine. Shock

EatsBrainsAndLeaves · 18/05/2012 12:44

Thanks porca. My flattery of you obviously worked then Grin

Beawheesht - Yes sorry very wrong but interesting

EatsBrainsAndLeaves · 18/05/2012 12:44

My assessment of HullyGully is actually me

Grin
EatsBrainsAndLeaves · 18/05/2012 12:45

Joke by the way - honest!

BeaWheesht · 18/05/2012 12:46

I'm rubbish at this kind of thing. I generally believe everyone on MN to be more capable, more groomed, tidier and posher than me.

EatsBrainsAndLeaves · 18/05/2012 12:47

Well I am not groomed! cba tbh unless on a night out. Grooming for me means a shower and clean clothes

porcamiseria · 18/05/2012 12:48

bejeezus, sorry back to you . Sorry I have not noticed you before

But I shall now, as I will eatsbrains

and when I have an image, I'll let ya know

EatsBrainsAndLeaves · 18/05/2012 12:50

But BeaWheesht I know what you mean. I always think if I go to a MN meet up and talk to posters whose names I have seen here, that they will all look like very well groomed yummy mummies with expensive clothes and beautiful manners. Whereas I am the clumsy bugger trying to dab out the wine stain on the blouse I have just put on and blushing furiously with embarassment

BeaWheesht · 18/05/2012 12:52

Yes exactly, and if it were a meet up with kids mine would be the ones moaning and being pains in the arses and drinking fruit shoots whilst everyone else's kids do jigsaws and read whilst sipping freshly pressed apple juice and wearing boden!
