Wow I am terrible at draw something.
My hair's getting darker tooIt used to be blonde and now its at that awkward not-a-colour stage.
Whenever I think of MGS I think of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKIiUsbOO24
so funny.
I think I'd easily pass as a native in Ireland, barring a few obvious Jewish features (nose, ears, and lips).
Why can't this have happened to me. D: It did to everyone else in my family! Instead I just get comments at the hair salon about how light my hair is before I get them to slather it with dye.

All this blonde hate is depressing me.
Blonde is the best hair.
Also I've always found MGS fucking hilarious. And everyone talking about how MGS4 was so ridiculous that it fucked everything up just makes me want to play it more. I thrive on the retarded.

It is referred to as 'mousy brown' or simply 'mousy'. Not quite blonde, not quite brown.

Reffered to by whom? You?
Well that's what most people refer to it as.
This sort of colour.

What about "fair" or "dark blonde"?
It totally is!
And the accent
It totally is!

Sounds better.
Mousy is the word I hear most though when referring to that dark, not quite blonde, almost greyish hair colour.
My hair used to be referred to as ash-blonde. But that has been a while ago when my hair was a bit lighter.
This is my hair when it's most light (as in: Just washed an dried, no gel, summer)
What say ye Real-GAF?
I don't know. I would probably just call that brown to be honest.
The definition of 'mousy' is actually quite negative, although, perhaps not entirely inaccurate.
mous·y also mous·ey (mous, -z)
adj. mous·i·er, mous·i·est
1. Resembling a mouse, especially:
a. Having a drab, pale brown color: mousy hair.
I've never really thought about it. Probably not the best colour in the world, but I don't think it is horrible either. I used to describe certain hair colours as simply 'blonde' until someone told me once that it wasn't blonde it was mousy.

My parents apparently had a bet about if my hair would go brown when I grew up.
My mum won.
My mum won.
This is what it used to be:
Yeah. This tends to happen a lot.
This is a picture of a picture, but you can see how light my hair was then. Actually shows lighter I think because of the flash, but still, my hair is darker brown now.

Moi:
Pfffffffffft. Like most women, I'm sure you look adorably messy. Shame about your breath though.

No matter how bad a girl thinks her hair is in the morning...I would say 99 percent of the time its incredibly sexy. Maybe its the whole "she woke up...next to ME" thing that contributes to it, so it might not be completely objective, but that shouldn't matter since the beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Also, the fact that the messiness wont be seen by anyone but you... <3

No.
On the other hand, the Mind Blowing Video Game Facts thread is full of stuff like the aforementioned "I didn't know Game X had a run button until my second playthrough!". The best of those stories involve people not understanding why it's so hard to jump chasms in Super Mario Bros.
My first reaction to this was "Holy shit, Tence had pretty long, luxurious hair at one point! And his kid is adora-- oh, wait"

Hrm. So since it's "post young you" time again, I'll pop that fountain pic up again, since I like it so much.
I was definitely excessively light brown...ish when I was younger. My hair was seasonal well into my teens. Ever Summer, it'd lighten right up.

There's truth here, but I've seen girls with messed up hair early in the morning outside of the context of having slept with them and it's still sexy.

What a great pic
My dad used to have a darkroom in the basement. Well, it was also the laundry room, but it had a red light and everything! He even photoshopped his images, well before there was such a thing*. In one of the pictures, he's sitting on the left side of a couch… and on the right side is his siamese twin -- they're joined at the wrists.
Nowadays he does the digital thing, as it's easier. I've picked up the bug a little big, but it's mainly because I like to photograph my doings and happenings to convince my friends of all the fun stuff that goes on in this corner of the world.
* shockingly, image manipulation predates Adobe.

I'll know that terror in just another coupla months. That and the drain ick thing.
By the way, I'm still wondering how that Niven book was. I could use some ruminations on a potential fun future read.

Oh are we doing the young pics thing again?

Ohhhhh the trials of having long, thick hair! However will I cope?

For some reason my hair has been worse than normal. Must be the water here. :|
I've never read his stuff actually. D: Maybe one of these days. Once I'm finished with all of these other books.
I'm reading Mark Twain. Not really into it. (In fact, I would go as far as to say he's flat out not a good writer.)

Wat. But we have photographic evidence of you reading him! >:|
He was a political satirist. A lot of what he wrote is no longer relevant, as the norms of society were pretty different at the time. Tom Sawyer was incredibly boring, though. Or maybe it was Finn, I confuse the two. I liked one of them and snoozed through the other.
edit: Also, he's a much better writer when it comes to quips.

Ansel Adams manipulated the hell out of his pictures. I always get a kick when new-ish serious photographers proudly proclaim "straight out of camera" when they post pictures. Letting your camera process your shots is like taking your film to the supermarket photolab. The digital darkroom offered by Lightroom and Aperture (and the laborious Photoshop) harkens back to an earlier time.
We have a little perforated metal thing on our drain. Works very, very well. Hair just accumulates there as the water drains and you pick it up post shower.

...how can you sleep through a book?
Who I STILL HAVEN'T READ so I'd have no clue about that.

Niven is (as I mentioned earlier) at his best when he's working with another author. I still really like a few of his solo works, but almost anything written by "Larry Niven and <BLANK>" is amazing. edit: Maybe it's because Niven is a good idea man but needs somebody else to help put the concepts to paper -- that'd make him the written word's equivalent to George Lucas or Gene Roddenberry. :O
Osmosis.
It's possible with audiobooks
PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE!
I actually struggled with reading in the beginning. :<

I just checked the plot synopses. Yeah, Finn is the one where they skip town and go way down river. Yeah, I remember liking that much more.
Reading the plot overview of Sawyer is already making me drowsy
Oh. We were all assuming that you were some kind of mutant superbraniac.

Thanks, Bran-GAF, now I'm suffering the after-effects of chocolate bunny intoxication. If you didn't remind me that I was hungry, I would have totally shrugged off the existence of all this candy on my desk.

It's a good game. I gave it my 360 game of the year award last year.
If you ever need a co-op partner, lemme know.
