I always get a picture of how someone might look (age, style, gender, etc.) in my head simply from reading posts and it's always funny to see if they match up or are WAY off when I actually meet someone or see their profile picture! Do other people do that or am I just way weird?

This could be a fun post. Maybe people could give their impressions in one, and then in another all could fess up. Of course some know what others look like either through meeting or descriptions given on the blog...
