It might be interesting to hear why people chose the avatar's they use.
If you want to share this information with the general public, you can do it here k:

I'll start.
My avatar's story's not that impressive. It's just that for a while a lot of my conversations seemed to end in me saying 'laat maar', which is Dutch for something like 'forget it' (lit.:'let it be'). In the end I abbreviated it to lama, Which is a llama in Dutch (duh :bleh: ).
My continued use of this term, and the fact that I actually like llama's, eventually led to me using a llama as avatar.

Oh, and I spit on people. Yes, I really do :bleh: !

I never saw this thread comming.


Anyway I've always thought of myself as quite a shy person and I know it to be true. This Avatar seems to represent that quite well, it looks like the person is trying to hide away off the edge of the avatar. Or he is peeking out from the side afraid to join in on the conversation or whatever is going on.

I just like John Carpenter's: The Thing. It's one of my favourite movies, and besides I think the poster looks cool.

I'd say my first avvy of Samara was more like me.

This one is Pearl Jam's "Riot Act" album cover. The sarcasm of dead skeletons wearing a crown and the song "Bushleaguer" in the album fit perfectly as a critic to society and war.

Whenever I change my avvie, I just go to google images, think of some really weird character and type it in. For instance, some of you may remember i had the hockey mask before this one. I picked it because i had just finished playing 5 days a stranger, the guy with the welding mask inspired the hockey mask. The newest incarnation, Zorg (5th element, remember?) I just got because he is weird. If anybody is wondering about my sig, it is because i think that line is one of the most memorable movie lines of all time.

My sig is an attempt to show people fancy, and highly detailed sig pictures are not needed, no matter how nice they look. I actually really like my sig even though it quite plain.

For me it's simply nostalgia. I used to love transformers when I was a little kid. This was back in '86
