Agree with Dalek about being more philosophically pushy in real life. It's always a blunder. I tend to have a better time if I avoid speaking about philosophy with friends and family, other than a few individuals on select occasions. I tend to be about as blunt in real life as I am online, the joys of ADHD. I can control myself for a while but in the end someone will piss me off enough for my "nice" facade to break down.
Popularity and connection are fine things, but so are freedom and independence. It's not easy to balance those qualities, and any such harmonious balance there would seem inherently unstable and need tons of effort to maintain.

Glasses - check. Crazy hair - check. Sandals and socks (in winter in the house) - check. My sartorial approach tends towards gear suitable for playing with dogs, bushwalking and gardening - but only to formal occasions like weddings and funerals. Otherwise I tend to dress down more. The only time I wear gowns is for colonoscopies.
LW, I imagine you as tending towards a gypsy look, jewellery and retro gear bought from second hand shops. Younger and much more attractive lol. I suppose the name "Lacewing" suggests that all on its own.
I tend to imagine Alec as a somewhat balding Pommie bloke, about 5'10", glasses in middle age, with just a bit of a gut coming on in middle age after being trim as a young 'un. Tends towards plain open collar shirts and black jeans, although very likely black t-shirts too.
I imagine Bob as a big guy with a fat boozy nose, a full beard, hefty girth and a gun. Tending towards check shirts and work boots.
I picture Dalek as a ectomorph, tall and wiry. No beard, kindly face, glasses in middle age. Pretty well opposite to squat, polka-dot skirted machines with one eye on a stalk. Wears dark clothes.
I suspect that most of those arguing the theistic cause to mostly be in their 20s or early 30s.
That's probably enough trouble to get myself into for now. Preemptive apologies to those I've almost certainly misrepresented :)
