How can someone NOT love brains?

Maybe only people who don't have this organ in their own heads :twisted:

I have my avatar because I liked it when I saw it for the first time on one forum. When I happen to have a weakness for some avatar, I download it and later I use it myself. Anyway I like Harry Potter novels and fics.

I did not choose my avatar, I made mine as a tiny abstract expression of...whateverness.

I have a pair of goggles very similar to this and I wear them all the time.

Mine is taken from A Snake of June, one of my favorite Shinya Tsukamoto films. I chose it because there are inherent metaphors that wearing a mask can represent, which I found appropriate, since I've tried to keep my identity somewhat ambiguous.

(Note: I can not freaking type today)

<-- I wanted something that implied an Illuminatus state of being. I couldn't use a fnord, because most people are conditioned to not see them anyway ("If you don't see the fnords, then they can't eat you"), so I chose the cover of a Blue Öyster Cult album ("Fire Of Unknown Origin").

I was looking at a page of avatars looking for one and got bored with it and picked mine because it suited me well enough for the time being. Avatars aren't important enough to me to put much time into finding just the right one. I'm not too busy to find another I'm just too lazy and mine is good enough.
The aircraft in mine, in case you don't recognize it, is a B-52 heavy bomber.

No one will read this so I will admit that I didn't know how to upload any picture because the size needed to be small so I saved it from my multiply site and here I am, like it or not.
