I'm considering changing my avatar when I reach my 1,000th post. From my profile and my post history some of you already know about my particular quirks and interests, so it occurred to me to recruit your help. These are the options I'm considering:

Image An upgraded version of my current character.

Image Ixtab, the Mayan goddess of suicide.

Image A Buddhist eight-spoked wheel.

Image My beloved Thoreau.

Image The flag of the Seychelles Islands, my favorite one.

Vote!

I like the flag the best.

Poor Eeyore, he looks so distressed!

"You and me to a different drummer...."
I like the H.D. Thoreau one.

Don't pick another sad looking donkey! Interesting you have a Buddhist wheel - I nearly picked one of those recently. To be honest I'm not very keen on your other choices. Isn't there an icon that you feel represents your personality? Something that make you say "Yes!".

That's Thoreau, absolutely.

But there is so much Eeyore and I have in common...

I voted for Eeyore. You can change you avatar without really changing it, making you easier to recognize...like I do.

That reminds me of the recent change MissConstrue made to her avatar. It's absolutely better, yet keeps the same theme.

After having considered all the options and your arguments, here is my new avatar.

Thanks to everyone.
