What's up with your avatar, and why did you choose it?

[The Straight Story]

Mine is a pic of me, just thought it seemed right to use.

What made ya choose the one you did and does it say something for you?

[Inchworm]

1. Mine is an inchworm

for some dang reason :)

:hi:

[The Straight Story]

2. ok then - what prompted ya to use that screen name :)

If I may ask.

[Inchworm]

5. oh that

it runs in the family :)

:hide:

[The Straight Story]

6. Size does not matter

Ok, it does. But that is why we have adult stores :)

[Inchworm]

:evilgrin:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. I hardly need to answer you, my dear Straight Story!

My avatar is part of my username...

Isn't it, now?

:hug:

[The Straight Story]

8. Indeed it is my friend

Nothing like a nice avatar of Texas I always say...Oh wait. :rofl:

[flvegan]

4. Mine just really suits me.

AND, I think it looks cool.

7. Barbara Boxer is probably my favorite US Senator

But I do change my avatars -I've had Bill Clinton and John Kerry as my avatars previously. John Edwards may be next because he'd be my preferred choice of candidate for the nomination next year

[Skittles]

10. I've never used one

lazy I guess

[SeattleGirl]

12. Hmmm, maybe you could find a pic of some Skittles!

[Skittles]

13. or an ASS KICKING

[WildEyedLiberal]

11. John Kerry is sexy

:loveya:

Oh, and a damn good Senator, too. I was proud to cast my first ever vote for him.

[DarkTirade]

14. Arr, I be too lazy to bother to make me own.

So I picked a piratey one instead. Yarrr.

And my favorate video game of all time is The Secret of Monkey Island. :) And it was one of the ones that inspired me to get into music composition.

15. Oooooh...

just found a good 48x48 sized one. Do they allow animated gifs as icons here? :)

*edit* Aw man, you gotta be a donor to upload your own. Ah well. A pirate's icon fer me.

[Droopy]

16. I've had mine since day 1

And I will continue to use it until we are finally at peace which might take an eternity.

[billyskank]

17. It's the incredible Jimmy Smith.

[TOhioLiberal]

18. It's me...

...I took it with my webcam when I was feeling sad and vulnerable, with a little anger too. I called it 'Face of Pain'. I usually have pictures of Keith or my sons but this one felt like a good one, at least for a while. I'll probably change it again.

[meegbear]

19. I wanted a bear avatar ...

and I am a fan of 'Harvey Birdman, Attorney At Law' and they have this bear that's in every episode, smiling away, kinda like an extra that would be in a crowd.

The rest is history.

20. I was born in the year of the Dragon and have always loved them

for their magical qualities and what they represent:

:hi:

[cobalt1999]

21. As someone who gets called in to teach evolution occasionally.

It seemed appropriate. That and the never ending fight to keep the bible belt fundies from taking over the schools in this county, makes me a little militant.

[soleft]

22. makes me smile, hope she makes others smile as well

[Kali]

23. avatar = username

< ^ I just gotta be meeeeeeee

[Mad_Dem_X]

24. I like Van Gogh

He's my favorite artist.

[Cabcere]

25. I was born the day the Challenger exploded.

So, a space shuttle liftoff seemed (morbidly) appropriate for me. :shrug:

[scarlet_owl]

26. I have always liked the Venus of Willendorf.

I'm also a large lady and I kind of look like her.

[Orsino]

27. Toby Stephens as Orsino.

A part I wanted to play in college, but because I could sing and play, and had written some music, I was otherwise cast. Anyway, I still identify with the melancholy Duke, who got love so very right the second time around.

[Aristus]

28. State flag of Washington.

Green, natch, Although with all the clear-cutting going on here, pretty soon, we'll be the "Everbrown State". :(

[dolo amber]

29. Just look at it...it's a creepy little techno baby

I don't know that it "says" anything other than "Hey, look...it's a creepy little techno baby!"

I like it. :D

[ruiner4u]

30. i miss mango...

[sakabatou]

31. Well before my star was gone

I had Kenshin Himura.

[wildhorses]

32. my avatar goes with my username and sigline

i like to co-ordinate whenever possible ;)

[YankeyMCC]

33. Old Iron Sides with a Flag

I just thought it reflected nicely both the area I'm from and the ideals of the revolution. I know it's also a symbol of war but I still felt it reflected the hope of the revolution, the determination of the first generation of independent America and our national history in an honest way.

[MissMillie]

34. It's the logo for this site

[WritingIsMyReligion]

35. Bill Evans, jazz pianist.

Smart as anything, eloquent, rather traumatic/broken life. Beautiful musician making beautiful music.

[Left Is Write]

36. My avatar is my mouth.

So, yeah, I guess my mouth says plenty for me!
