Does your avatar define you?

[invisible airwave]

Watched a lot of Beavis and Butthead in my junior high/early high school years.

[Lerxster]

I usually have Envy Alex from the S&A tour film, but I'll be seasonal. Large Marge is leftover from Halloween. I enjoy leftovers. Still working on Thanksgiving leftovers.

I use this avatar on two forums.

Some people change their avatars as often as their moods change.  Some people are identified by their avatars (Rushman14 = guitar playing monkey).

yep my avatar defines me, for better or worse.

 

I did switch to this one breifly.

My avatar doesn't change too often, but it's usually related to Geddy. It's no secret that I'm a Geddy girl. However, avatars do change according to my mood, whichever Geddy pic I wish to use.

[sullysue]

I had the same avatar for a few years, Roy Lichtenstein's Crying Girl, my favorite piece of work by him. The one I have now is Girl with Heart Baloon by Banksy. Doesn't really define me, made sense at the time I changed it. But, I LOVE Banksy. So, in a way, it does.

Once you've seen an image a certain number of times you either cease to really look at it anymore or you see it in a totally different way and you realise this if you, at later date, look closely at it for the first time in a long while.

I change my username and avatar from time to time. While I am experienced in computers, but here I am largely an exaggeration. In reality I'm a closet Trekkie. Very few people know how much of a Trekkie I am. Most know I like Star Trek, but they are under the impression that I'll watch it if it pops up on TV, but never peruse watching it in theaters, bending my schedule around it to watch on the internet or buy DVDs.

 

 

In other words....holy crap no.

You need to come out of the closet and walk free dressed in your full klingon outfit, the wind blowing through your wig and ruffling your fake beard...

I've had my avatar some time now. It represents a few things:

 

First it's the star, Cygnus X1, so thats the Rush connection.

 

Second: there's the sci-fi aspect as I'm into sci-fi. Also see above.

 

Lastly , for years I couldn't see stars with the naked eye, due to congenital cataracts. So when I first saw them I was instantly fascinated. I'm not that knowledgable but I have the Starwalk app on my iPhone and I love to watch programs about the cosmos, most recently Professor Brian Cox's "Wonders of the solar system" and "Wonders of the universe".

When something piques my interest more than Ponies, Twilight Sparkle will go away. Do you need some help with that?   You get massive kudos if you can find something cooler than Ponies.

[CMWriter]

I counted them up and I have had about 20-25 different avatars since I started posting on TRF.

What can I say? I love 'em.

 

My favourites have been:

And I drew all of those except for Charlie Sheen's face in the "Duh, Winning!" one and the Stargate in the last one.

Yes, I believe my avatar defines me

USB is more likely to wear a Starfleet Academy cadet uniform than some Klingon garb. I can imagine him waiting at the cine line for the Star Trek tickets, standing straight up with hands behind his back like he's standing at attention as Captain Picard walks by.

Very funny guys, but I intend to stay in the Star Trek closet in real life because a nerd reputation is disastrous when trying to make friends and contacts in a university.

I took down the Halloween stuff, and realized I didn't have any pictures on my hard drive to replace it with. So I looked through TRF's avatars and nabbed this one. I don't get it either.   Once I hook up to my external drive I'll probably put the Rush jacket pic up.   Yeah - my title still matches to that avatar. I should ask 1-0-0-1 to do something about that one of these days. I miss my original title. I forget what your original title was. What was it?
