Does your avatar show you who you are? Did you pick it because it shows something about you, or because it is just a wee pretty picture?

If your avatar shows you, what does it show, why and how?

I chose mine because it gives some hint as to where I come from.

I've picked Zant from Zelda Twilight Princess because... well... he's freakish. :lol: He's a nutter.

I like his personality - Zant's cool.

I guess in a sense I feel a bit like this... strange, a nutter, a loony, odd... lol

I have a door closer just like that on my door. :)


Mine was made (or found-- she is Seraphim from Megatokyo) for me by Icarus, who found that she reminded him of me, or I reminded him of her. :) She actually looks like me, and Icarus said that since I'm always on the computer, and always helping people, that was a good one for me. :oops:

Mine's a self-created logo for my music and art project. Basically, it's an inversion of the Dark Side of the Moon Prism, but with eyes and headphones. No mouth, because it's instrumental and I don't sing. But the eyes represent my art, and the beams from the ears represent the music. There's also the suggestion of the "aspie stare," which was not consciously done, but did reflect that people comment on my gaze.

Like it, like it. Mine shows that I can prevail, just because I have one or two social disadvantages, I will not be held back.

And honouring a man who went before his star really shone.

I'm a bit literal too so my avatar shows;

1. What I look like
2. That I'm literal
3. That I like Dr Who
4. That I don't care if I'm identified
