Mine is a fish for two very important resons.

One: I liked it best in the list of avatars.
Two: I'm in Holland so I can't get a good picture.

You're in Holland aren't you? Can't you put some porn as your avatar? Well, it would be fitting.

Lancashire is the county of my birth and so I thought it fitting that I used an outline of the present ceremonial county was my avatar. Previous avatar graphics ran along a similar theme - rose topped by crown, that sort of thing. I think it's probably fair to say that I've never had an avatar that I'm truly content with. But there you go.

Eh, even though this pretty much brands me as an anime nerd (Tom Cruise said there wasn't enough space in the all-encompasing skeleton-hiding closet for me to be in there as well.), I guess I somewhat identify with Tsukasa in some ways. Same reason I have the tattoo I have now (not involving Tsukasa) and same reason I'm thinking about getting another.

I'm going to have to stray from my 1:10 formula for this one...

My avatar is what it is, because I like these wonderful Buses that were known as Routemasters. The Routemaster is/was London's symbol. God, I miss that Bus.

My Avatar is the exposed face of one seriously smart villain. Anubis rocks. And that's why I use this picture.

My avatar is the best looking picture I could find in the gallery.
I used to wish my hair was black when I was younger.
I don't know how to get an avatar that is not from the gallery.
