Why did you pick your avatar?

We have a few of these already but I cant find them. And the thread about usernames made me want to make this one.

I am interested to know why all picked your avi and what meaning it has if any.

Mine is Kat Von D. I love this girl!! She is one bad ass chick. And she is also in recovery. She is a smart, beautiful, independant woman who is also an amzing artist. She inspires me. Plus I love her tats!

The ocean is my "spiritual place". While I'm not really a great surfer, I love the feeling of riding the waves, feeling their power, and working with it for a good ride.

Like animals, like music. Plus, due to another childhood nickname--this one more well-known--I'm partial to feline comparisons.

Was flipping through the list, seen some possibles, but this one kinda jumped out at me...

The one I used to have was a sign that said "Instant idiot, just add alcohol" or something like that, but my current one came from somewhere/something having to do with manic depression... and it depicts how I feel sometimes, trying to find balance and not "fall off" the world.

Wow, I'd have to agree in my own way. Kat Von D is definately BANGING and she's sober.

My Avatar is the design I used for my second step chest tatoo. It reminds me

that all things are connected as the knot has no beginning or end. When my camera gets un-lost I will replace it with a tat photo of it.

Great thread as I am always very interested in all the unique Avatars.

...'cos I'm stuck on an island . There's a hot former movie star but I think she's too full of herself to notice me. I like this really cute farmgirl from Kansas, but I think she likes the younger guy who works for the Captain. I have no hard feelings about him and rather like him even though he is a complete and utter klutz. The latter is a bit of a drunk which is one reason we ended up in this whole mess (even with GPS, I think the result would have been the same). Two senior citizens are nice enough but they act as if they own the place. Really getting on my nerves. Feel like breaking them the news that their investments are worthless and that their favorite financial advisor "Bernie" is now behind bars.

Great reasons all.
I find it very interesting why people pick their names and avis. Thx for sharing.

My avi changes quite a bit, but they always have the word believe or something to do with believing in something greater than myself.

Thanks for the thread T

My last was from World of Warcraft, great game.

I changed mine again after chatting with Dee74 about The Muppet Show. My son and I had just rented one of the videos and I was sharing with Dee and put Swedish Chef up, BORK!!!!

Mine is just for fun, gotta have something there.

Hmmmmmmm, what should I do next???

AND Hi Aysha!!! Hope you have a great weekend!!
