I do not have an avatar up yet because I cannot decide whether to put a photo up or not. I'm thinking of it because for the most part peeps think I am male when I post, and I am not.


hi man! :lol: do you paint?

just by looking at your avatar I think you are like her, right?

Yeah, I guess I sort of am! I definitely have her boundless energy, we're both very girly, we're both creative, and the list goes on. Apparently, I even look like her!


seriously? cool!
If I have a daughter, I'd love to have one like her :P

Yeah, Lola's great! Plus having a very patient older brother like Charlie is also good for her, too. Who knows how much trouble she could get into without him! lol

I just use whatever picture I like at the moment and theme my entire profile around it.

I am definitely not my avatar. I chose it because it was one of the standard avatars that WP offered.

I'm not quite sure why I'm doing it, but I've just been "evolving" my avatar as time has gone by.
It'll suffer another change soon...

Hello :)

Yes, I am into surrealism. Sort of new here but I will see if I can get a link up to some of my paintings. Hope it works===> (Link edited out due to reading the"Hmmm... we got noticed and mocked" thread, have not had enough time to logically deduce the reprecussions of being publically outed. Blah... peeps are a pain.)

Oh yes, I'm Ifrit. I helped Yuna fight bad fiends. :wink:

But no, I don't identify people by their avatar.

I am not really a large green insect. I'm really a large purple insect. :lol:

Seriously, though, I don't want to use my own picture as my avatar, for two reasons:
- If someone I know should happen to wander into the site (as unlikely as it may be) I don't want them to recognize me as being me.
- I don't want to scare people.

Hi Jett, very nice paintings, I've had never known someone into surrealism! Now I can proudly say I know someone :)

A shame that I can't see them in large size, site seems slow right now, or is it my internet connection?

EDIT: Finally site seems to be working again. Wow, first painting, the one with the girl, are those wings painted?!

¬_¬ Do you have an older brother to keep you away of troubles?
If not, you sound like a lot of trouble (adventures) young lady! :P hehe

I think I'll never get tired of watching cartoons :oops:

mine's of guard (the walking boss) in the movie "Cool Hand Luke". I like the landscape reflected in his glasses. I think I look a little like him, and he hardly talks. Other than that, the character from the movie and I have nothing in common.
