Whenever I look at pics of DUers or others online, I focus on

[bicentennial_baby]

the background far more than the person. I always want to see what books they have, or what kitchen setups, etc. :crazy:

[DarkTirade]

1. Well, please don't judge me by the state of my room...

I still haven't been able to unpack all my junk because there was so much junk in here already when I moved in. :)

And the bookshelves here are full of all my grandparents' books. Mine are still packed away... in five huge boxes.

[bicentennial_baby]

6. Duly noted

:D

Nah, I don't judge anyone, I'm just SO curious! People fascinate me :)

[DarkTirade]

8. Actually I really am a slob.

Just not quite as much as it appears right now. :P

[bigwillq]

2. What if there's not much of anything

in the background, what do you look at then? :crazy:






So you're telling me you would rather look at the spraying water rather than my cute, sexy face?!?!?!?!? :P ;) :) :rofl:

[bicentennial_baby]

4. Actually, your pic is well focused, for my brain...

You stand out, rather than blend in with the background, which is what I think distracts me, unconsciously. :hi:

[flvegan]

12. Sometimes, the background will never matter.

Like in this case.

[AlCzervik]

3. don't be lookin at my messy ass kitchen table!

:+

[bicentennial_baby]

5. You were the inspiration for this thread!!

:rofl:

It just reminded me of this quirk I have, that's all :P

:hi:

[AlCzervik]

7. you just wait Missy until you and Sniffa have a kid and they have projects!

Huh, i will come over, look around, smirk and give that child more craft stuff.

[bicentennial_baby]

9. ...

:rofl:

*You* were the one who pointed it out! I blame YOU!

:rofl:

[AlCzervik]

10. Don't be pointing out facts, i don't care for facts!

:rofl:

[bicentennial_baby]

[RetroLounge]

13. Guilty as charged...

I'm like, nice bookshelf...

:hi:

RL

[bicentennial_baby]

14. Admittedly, I do it to you all the time...

:rofl:

:hi:

[flvegan]

15. "Bookshelf" is a lot like "rack" eh?

So you're like, nice rack.

I'm so bad.

[RetroLounge]

18. That is exactly it...

the lounge is full of nice racks...

RL

[flvegan]

19. Yes, my friend.

Yes it is.

Full. Our Lounge "rack" um...cup *ahem* overfloweth.

[yellowdogintexas]

32. same here. when I go to someone's house for the first time, I notice the following:

a whether there ARE bookshelves
b whether same shelves are full of books or decor
c what books are there.. I love to know what others are reading

then I check out the kitchen layout.

[Chan790]

16. Just curiousity

but I always use the same picture. What do my purple sheets with rainbow trim say about me or what do they say to you, since you're the one interested in backgrounds.

[bicentennial_baby]

17. Well, purple is my favorite color, so I obviously approve

;)

[DFW]

20. I think the only ones I posted of me or my wife were taken outdoors

Does this make us illiterate, or just dull?

[bicentennial_baby]

21. No, in that case, I look at the beautiful scenery...

I can't explain it! I love context! :rofl:

[SarahB]

22. I don't get it.

:shrug:

[AlCzervik]

23. oh i like your coat, did you and the elephant call each other first?

"I'm so wearing my pink trench tomorrow" "Omg me too!"


:rofl:

seriously, love the coat.

[SarahB]

29. The picture's a couple years old.

It was actually a wedding for one of my husband's long time friends. Ironically, he liked the coat too and spent much of the reception wearing my coat. :crazy:

[bicentennial_baby]

24. Nice gams, babe

:loveya:



;)

[SarahB]

30. Gracias!

:loveya:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

25. To be fair, I live in a very crappy apartment.

I did hang up some vinyl records to class up the place, though. ;)

[bicentennial_baby]

26. Like I can see past those teeth, Monsieur Colgate?

:rofl:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

27. As long as you don't see the dead bodies in the background.

:hide:

[Left Is Write]

28. I do that too, and it always make me conscious of what's in the background in my own photos.

[billyskank]

31. I dread to think what you make of my apartment then.

:scared:

[Guava Jelly]

33. Thanks for the PSA

I'll try to make sure the blow up dolls and the 5 gallon pails of KY are out of the frame.:hide:
