First name initial, middle name initial, surname, and the 95 is because I was born in 1995.

Avatar is a nice photograph of The Beatles.

My current avatar is Moses holding an iPad. Coz, ya know, he had the tablets with the commandments, and the iPad is a tablet? I'm actually quite proud of my avatar, I made it myself :P


I thought it was funny. :)

I have a Cockney accent, and I look like and identify, with the person in my avatar. Cool...I look like a rock star. That's just the way I am. 8)

I'll have a much clearer version, sometime tomorrow.

My username is a Kingdom Hearts reference. One of the main characters is Roxas, who is the thirteenth member of this group known as Organization XIII. Hence.

As for my avatar, it's the logo of Team Gurren from Gurren Lagann, but I'm thinking of changing it soon.

EDIT: Now my avi is the album cover for the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World soundtrack on iTunes.

My user name is an anagram (invented by a friend of mine) of my real name.

My current avatar simply expresses my views on file-sharing. :lol:

My user name is my real name and age and my avatar is that of one of my all time favourite actresses, Olivia De Havilland. What a beauty!

I came up with my username randomly on the spot when I signed up, it has no significance or meaning to me whatsoever. Though I am becoming partial to the colour blue and have adopted it as my colour on occasions here.

My avatar is a cropped and slightly colour brightened picture of my second life avatar as of last night. I gave her blue hair streaks :P.

My username is the title of the song and album by Pantera.

My avatar is a picture of the baddest Zippo lighter out there. A reissue based on the 1941 model, which I customized with a pewter pot leaf emblem.

I've found a main stay. I'll still keep my other avatars. I'll transfer them, to Photobucket.

i used to sell photos that were still shots from a barely digitally compatible video camera - don't be discouraged by your tools, you can work with what you have. personally, i would actually buy a photo like the one on your avatar.

one place where people sell photos is Etsy.com - i had a store here where i sold macrophotos for couple of years. if you don't already know about Etsy, send me a PM and i can give you some background.

my username is the same name i chose for my blog. when i first found out about asperger syndrome, i did a lot of reserarch and saw that some aspies are hyperlexian - they speak and write a lot. some are even uncontrollably prolific. i am under control, but i can literally talk about anything - i can make up a speech on the spot on any topic (conversation is harder because it involves *other people*).

my avatar is my eye, looking over my glasses. my husband always says i look likea sexy librarian, so i was being silly.
