I chose "I picked a celebrity I dig in "that way"" and other.

I Chose two options, 1) the celebirty I dig in "that way" and 2) Because it reflects my personality. I usually change my avatar once every few weeks (yet, also sometimes twice in a week - lol) Mine tend to really reflect who I am - very rarely will I put something totally opposite of that - yet, I could at one time to spite some people..

I voted this one:
My avatar is a picture, logo or something else that I think reflects my personality
That's about as close as I could think of.....
My first one was Luffy from One Piece, I'm not very computer skilled so I didn't know how to get another pick that I really liked(that was the best one I found), then Tam found a Puchiko one(what I really wanted) and now that's my avatar(and it's gonna stay that way).

I live in Va. now but NY will always be home to me.

Mine reflects my personality. Or at least one of my most dominant personalities -- that free-flowing poet woman. And I sort of look like her if you stand back so you can't see the wrinkles. ;)

Mine changes often.. along with the name.
All the names follow a very similar theme, but I like the concept of being a disembodied being, floating around.. constant change.

Mine reflects my "off in my own little world" sort of nature that Puchiko sort of expresses.

Yeah I'm like that. I view my screen name/profile/av, etc. as essentially a persona for the board, so I change it as I see fit. It doesn't necessarily reflect or not reflect who I am.

Oh and for the record I'd totally nail Sarah Silverman(girl in my av) so I guess the "like them in that way" thing applies for my current av..

And yes I do, absolutely. :)
I have crushes on Sarah Silverman, Mila Kunis, and Natalie Portman- all Jewish. Also my first crush in high school(a girl named Jackie) was part Jewish.

That IS Me!
I picked mine because I like the picture, and I think it's at least halfway decent of a candidate for me.. truthfully, if I wanted my avatar to represent me, I'd need 7-8.

And yes, I love abandoned churches. Actually, all abandoned buildings interest me... which is why I get so angry when they tear them down.

I tend to like abandoned buildings too. But they really only have that prettiness value.

Quite possibly the best lead singer ever. Freddie Mercury gets my vote. My avatar is out of respect for his talent and a love of his and Queen's music.
