The face behind the blog
Who am I? What do you know about me? I would imagine the answer to that is that you only know about me what I want you to know, right? But, that’s true for any blogger, no matter who you are. Darren Rowse shows a picture, but won’t let anyone in on what his wife’s name is, all we know is her name is “V”. Jonathan over at SmartWealthyRich shows a photo and tells you all about how he plays guitar, etc. MsDanielle shows us a picture or two of herself and we can get to know her through her blog (love the Friday Flashbacks…)
So, I’ve been tagged by MiriGuy
to show you who I am and tell you a little somethin’ somethin’ about myself. Unfortunately, all I have online currently are these two really crappy photos. I will share them with you, so that you can see what I look like.
These photos are dark and really crappy, so you’ve been warned:
If I hear anyone say anything about Drew Barrymore, I’ll have you know, that she looks like me…(ha!) I’m older by around three months…The pics are dark, but I imagine you get the picture,eh?
I like all things music, as I used to play guitar. I collect old and foreign money, anything pewter, dragons, wizards, and amber glass. I love to take pictures, just as long as they aren’t of me. My prized possessions include a teddy bear that I’ve had since I was about six, a colorized 1999 Walking Liberty Dollar, my InventAmerica trophy from 1986, and a wizard that my dad made me out of clay (RIP 2003). I always believe that the best things in life are free.
So, that’s me in a nutshell.
BTW, this meme was started by David Airey.
1st thing to do:
Post a short paragraph or series of photos of yourself showing the face behind your blog. If you already show a photo on your blog, then make your post more interesting by choosing a photo that’s not currently online.

A link back to this post is much appreciated, to help create a more personal community!
Third thing to do:
Tag as many others as you like in your post to spread the meme.
Last, but not least:
If you link back to me here and send an email I?ll be sure to include links back to you.
I do have a question, however: Are you more drawn to bloggers by how they look? If they’re attractive, will you read more?
Oh yeah, I’m tagging Donovan at BlogThatOutside, Sassy at TheSassySoutherner, Angie at SunCoastScribe, Bob at BobMeetsWorld, and Jason at Foximus.
If you enjoyed this post, make sure you subscribe to my RSS feed!
OMG.. You really look like Drew Barrymore. Or was it the other way round? lol.
Nice photo. Thanks Roberta!
Oh man, why did you have to tag me ?
Thanks Chee, I hear that a lot, I’m older, though, and not famous..hehe
Bob, I just had to….lol
You tagged me, didn’t you? I thought we talked about this?
Donovan,
Ya know ya wanna join in…hehe
Come on, it was a given
Great question! I don’t think it’s a matter of attractiveness making one read more, I think it’s a matter of friendliness. Friendly people are people I want to spend time with. If your picture is one of you scowling, I don’t know I’ll stick around long.
Thanks for playing along with this very fun meme. It’s really cool to see the “face behind the blog” and I agree, you’ve got a bit of Drew in ya, but more Y-O-U than Drew!
Phil,
Thanks for commenting, I agree, I’ll be more apt to read someone’s blog if they look/are friendly. If they post a pic that makes them look strange, then I probably won’t be back.
And to answer your last question, Look doesn’t really matter. It’s the content that matter most.
Yes! I got tagged! I’ll add this to my stuff to do list for today.
Sweet! Have fun with it

Bob, now that wasn’t so hard, was it?!?

Hi Roberta,
Thanks for joining in! Great to see the face behind your blog and I’ll add you to the original list of participants shortly.
All the best.
Rockin’, thanks David! Great meme
I finally got it done.
