Gorgeous clever who, now?

My 501 group-mate emailed me:

"Our 682 group is looking for people that we can take pictures of for use as personas in our final report. Could we rope you in on this? All we woudl need to do is take a few pictures of you sometime, interacting with a computer, a cellphone, maybe a PDA, etc.. You look like you could be in our demographic. :)"

Oooooh, I think. I am flattered. Someone wants to take pictures of me! I am going to be a model! I am... wait! "Look like you could be in our demographic"? What demographic is that, now? Graduate students? French speakers? The gorgeous and clever worship-worthy people of the world? I wrote back for clarification.

"heh.. We're actually targeting 16-22 year olds -- and you do have a youthful look about you."

Drat. Oh well. I will smile prettily anyway.

believe me, as someone that is rapidly drifting further and further away from that demographic, having a 'youthful look about you' is definitely intended as a compliment. :)

You know, I still remember wondering what the 16-year-old was doing at orientation. I thought maybe she was the Doogie Howser of HCI.

Mwahahaha. She was mistaken for being twelve right before her 22nd birthday.

Booooooooooooooooo.

For some reason I find this post to be incredibly amusing.

And remember, I was wondering how long ago the recent current picture of you was taken.
Besides your baby face and the fact that you're 5'1" I think it might be your long skinny neck that helps keep that youthful look about you.

I'm with Becky on this, you could pass for twelve in that picture.

So I'm a baby giraffe now???

That would explain my knobby knees. I only wish my parents had told me, instead of cruelly raising me as a human and never hinting that I was different.

Sweetheart, you've always been a little different. I don't know that you could have grown up normally with us as your parents.

Are you giraffes too? My world is crumbling around me.

Why are we so short???

gravatar alfie - October 31, 2003 - 8:28 AM - ℓ

I don't have knobby knees, but my neck is pretty long.

lol,
I think I'll write a children's book.
Srah, the 5 foot Giraffe

Well, there are midget humans. Why can't there be midget giraffes too?

gravatar srah - October 31, 2003 - 1:17 PM - ℓ

That's 5 foot 1 Giraffe to you, thankyouverymuch!

gravatar alfie - October 31, 2003 - 2:25 PM - ℓ

Yeah, I'm five foot.
