Violinists are too smart... :-p

December 1, 2005 at 2:54 PM

Well, you guys guessed right. People are too smart on this website...
Yes, both the pics are me. I showed them to some of my friends (after they said they knew everything about me) and they wouldn't believe me. I did not dye my hair, however (although I did get contacts and grow about two feet upwards).
Sooo....
Sydney found that aweful pic from when I was associate concertmaster in Illinois 3 years ago (the pic above was last May...I look happy cause I just won fifth place in a scholarship competition and my buddy won first prize.)

Well, I'm supposed to be reviewing for a history exam so tata...

That's me now. :-P Unfair how smart you guys are.
Or maybe it's just my tell-tale "widow's peak".
Whateva.
Thanks for humoring me by guessing.

Yes, the widow's peak was the first give-away, then the shape & spacing of your eyebrows & eye shape. The cincher was your dimple!

The smile gave it away for me as soon as I saw the picture. I didn't guess though because all my energies at the time were directed towards stemming the tide of Oprahism.
