Is your avatar an expression of yourself?

Look again closely at your avatar...consciously or unconsciously you may have chosen it to represent something about you. I'd like to share mine first....I chose this avatar, first and foremost because it represents my love for fancy jewelries: it's not allowed by our company, but once in a while I wear those fancy dangling earrings, dashing necklaces, bracelets that match my uniform! I'm really the 'kikay' type as some of us call it. Of course, I'd like to feel young, hence the young-looking girl...over-all my avatar is attractive to both the young and the old...what about you, why did you choose your avatar?

I chose my avatar for a lot of reasons. The simple one is that she is my favorite character from my favorite anime: Hanajima Saki from the anime Fruits Basket.
The more complex reason is that there are certain character traits she has that appeal to me, including her intense protectiveness of her friends, her kindness, and her ability to do what she has to do even if it's very hard and painful for her. By having this character as my avatar, I remind myself of those traits. =)

Now, that's quite a revelation about you...may your kindness and strength of character touch other people's lives too...

I guess in a way, my avatar is a form of expression of self.
I like the colour purple and the yellow dot in the middle was just to spice things up.

I think that it`s pretty simple to guess what do i really enjoy doing. My avatar and my name are devoted to the music. It took me quite long to think about the name which i will use on sites like this and since it`s all about the music, i ended up with MusicOnly. I am a musician and i play guitar, so Gibson hooked up with nice pair oh hums is one of my fav guitars!

Yes I have choosen this colourless face which represents my internal feelings. Though everything looks beautiful and ok..... something is missing in my life, something without which my life is colourless.....I don't know what it is.........but there is a something....and I don't know who will or how will colours be filled in this colourless picture, may be it will become colourful or may be it will end up just like this........meanwhile I am just hoping and waiting.

Yes it is. I couldn't live a day without a prayer. This is my survival kit to face the days' challenges. I always find time to pray eventhough i'm really busy for work.

Well I guess mine is obvious. The kids round here call me The Cat Lady! I have 5 cats, I do voluntary work in a local Animal Shelter, and I'm always adopting any waifs and strays that come into the neighbourhood. Therefore, it's probably not surprising, that I chose my Sasha as my avatar! Sasha is my biggest and oldest cat. As a kitten he survived leukaemia. I was told he was one in a million to survive. So he represents not only my love for cats, but also, I guess, my tendancy to champion the underdog, to respect people who fight against the odds and never give in. Plus also, he is absolutely gorgeous - inside and out:-)),

I have used this same avatar for the past four years....I couldn't think of a better one to represent me....number one,...I do have my own black cat, Pyewacket..uh, my user name for just about everything too..hehe...also there is a mystical, magical sense to the picture as the cat has a crystal ball...It is a photo that I scanned and resized and cropped from a book I have, Your Magical Cat by Gerina Dunwich--I've often thought of changing it ...but...nah...too much a part of my ID

Actually my avatar is from a photo of my son. He's very little. At that time he was 2 years old but he liked to play computer. It seems that he could be professional to it. So I think it'll be cute to stand for my avatar. There is a famous words: In the internet you will never know the other side is a dog. So it'll be very impressive for others to think such a little kid responds to them:)

Yes I feel my avatar does represent me..A friend of mine found it the color and the angel in it are perfect for my name..Not only that but the little baby in it represents the baby I just lost...(I would like to apologize for mentioning about my loss)
plus my fave color is blue hehe

My nickname is Pen and my gf took this pic of a notebook and pen, so I found it very appropriate and a great composition.

The interesting thing here is that I don't like the person in my avatar. I dislike him maybe, I really don't know. But I don't like him. My intention was to disfigure his face and ended thus, even making him my avatar! SO what doses it tell about me? ..... I like animating :)
