What does your avatar picture say about you?

When we created our myLot account, we have the option of choosing our own picture rather than the ones that myLot gives. I've seen photos of people, babies, cars, things I don't want to know and things I wouldn't let my kids see.
I would have picked something that announced what religion I am but that is always a building block for contention and strife. So, I picked the same photo I use for my cellphone's wallpaper: Pleadies. Why? because it's the prettiest constellation in the sky and the stars are hot blue stars.

Well, the reason why my avatar picture shows my eye and not my full face is, I tried very hard to somehow take a nice snapshot of myself bt the picture was always ugly as hell, so I tried shooting only an eye which made comparatively a much better picture. Thus, my avatar picture might convey that I take my face as a not-so-beautiful one and that's why am hesitant to show it (though this is not entirely true, I just think my snaps are not as good as myself).
A true aspect of myself that my avatar might depict is, I like people trying to explore me, as here I'm giving people a brief peek at my eye and inviting them to imagine the rest of me themselves.

I put a kitten - because it was cute. Usually I use my picture on some forums... but I really don't think in this kind of forum that using your picture is the right thing to do.

I think your stars arebeautiful and that is what attracted me to your post, before I started reading. It seems peaceful and bright.
My Lovey-Dovey is a sign of peace and love, a friend sent her to me and a new friend made her wings flap on here for me.
I do like it when people keep the same avatar or similar ones so I can pick the people who are not on my friends list yet out easily to talk to.

Yes we had the option of uploading either our original picture or just using the picture mylot gives.I dont know why people use different pictures other than there original ones but i have fixed my real snap.I think that defines itself in a way as my identity first of all.having a unique identity here is something very unique,so i opted for my original snap rather than any other pic.

mine is just an icon of Veronica Mars, which is one of my favorite TV shows at the moment.

My avatar is a cold pint of my favorite ale. Read into it what you will, I think it represents my personality well.

As you can see, I find mine exactly reflects my philosophy on giving my opinion.
If it had not fit so well, I wold have just used my pic.

Well, I'm not entirely sure what mine says about me, but I know what it means to me.
The girl is a character in a comic book that has my same name and who I can relate to. But the image itself was made by me. It's a watercolour painting. I'm extremely proud of it.

For me my avatar doesn't say anything about me. Look its a zombie, i just wanna say dont judge people by looking at their physical side. try to get to know that person for you to learn who they really are. As for me I choose that avatar just to be unique, Im a horror movie fan that's why..
