Current Avatars, including Sara & Zen

[RolliePollie]

Okay, so this might be a strange thread to start, but recently I have noticed how powerful avatars are on the boards. There are many that really impact me and my preconceived notions about the people they represent, but two in particular have made me really think recently.

1) Sara. Sara, when you started, you had that sunflower, and you remember the discussion about it...how happy and sunny it was, etc. Now that you have changed it to that very fierce and unhappy looking cat, I actually feel a little jarred when I see it associated with your name! I find it quite interesting how much I notice that.

Too funny! That's actually my cat yawning...it's a cool picture when it's bigger, but I guess it does look a little ferocious as an avatar! Sunflower is coming back....


I love all of yours too! There is one TE'er out there (can't remember who it is though!) with a tiger striped bunny. I really like that one. And I like Lisa S.H.'s too. And I can't forget your great starfish, Starfish!!!

And I can't forget your great starfish, Starfish!!!

You know, I just picked the name Starfish because I was in a hurry, wanted to log on and post, and it does have some meaning for me, with the little story.

BUT...if I had realized how much I was going to see and hear "Starfish" because of it, I would have put a little more thought into my Username.

I don't really like my avatar, but I wanted one, because they are helpful (and fun!!) in using the boards...but this was what I found quickly and easily on the internet.

Someday, maybe, I'll find an avatar I really like. Maybe a pic of myself next year, on top of Shasta, thinner, and having finished the Super Century's 16,000 feet!!!
