i.love.lucy Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Guess mine's kinda obvious. I don't want to change it because I'm afraid people won't "know" me! I don't like it when people I know change theirs because I'm a visual person and remember pics/faces not names! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riceballmommy Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Mine is Tohru from Fruits Basket with Kyo in cat form. It was the first manga series I read and my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontier Mom Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Mine is way I feel on most days. Hiding because I've had one of those V8 moments, covering my eyes because I'd rather have a nap during the day, or the gesture of astonishment about what rabbit hole (lion hole perhaps?) my ds has decided to go down at the moment. Do you not love that new V8 commercial about the Fluffy, the bunny? That ranks as one of my fav. commercials. I so relate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffeefreak Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I still think So CA, AZ, and NM rank high with great Mexican-American food. *SIGH* :D Are you kidding? No one is better than NM!!!! We are the only state that understands the term, "red or green?" AND understands that it could mean the difference between life and death! OK, not really.:lol: I'm not biased at all, am I?;) I keep changing mine. I'm like that:D The current one is of my girls when we got home from the movie, "UP." I just thought the glasses were so cute! I guess I could put a pic of me. . .but then you'd all know what I look like.:eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraGB Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 My dc chose my avatar, actually. We are all huge HP fans. It was interesting to me that they chose Molly Weasly because, first of all, I gave them freedom to choose with no restrictions, and second, of all the fictional moms out there, Molly is one of my favorite; she's loyal, loving, smart, strong, protective, humourous - everything I would strive to be as a mother, including her well-intended tempermentalness. I really do love her character. And being able to wave a wand and have a magical sous chef would be the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyJoy Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I lived in Okinawa in the 1980s and loved Hello Kitty back then before she was popular in the U.S. Since I play a purple guitar I colorized her to reflect that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmom3tn Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I used to watch Monty Python with my dad when I was in high school and college. It's from a scene in Holy Grail where the knight is fighting and gets all his limbs cut off, then insists on keeping going, saying, "It's just a flesh wound!" That's my favorite scene from that movie!! I never noticed it before. How funny! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cammie Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Mine is my son and I at a wedding a few years ago. For religous reasons (and to please my MIL) he did not have his first haircut until after his 2nd birthday. So he had long hair that we tied into a fountain at the top of hsi head. It was so adorable (but he may never forgive me when he is older!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmom3tn Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I love the vanilla ones! My avatar is pretty easy to figure out...a tree house to go with my user name. I like to eat two at a time to combine the flavors. :D cherry + vanilla = cherry-vanilla lemon + lime = lemon-lime cherry + orange = .... I don't know but it's good!

Mama Anna Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) Since I often happen by these boards (and then get sucked in!) to destress after a long day, I picked the sample photo on my computer that looked the most relaxing to me.

Granny_Weatherwax Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 My usual avatar, the dragon head, is from the movie Dragonheart, the first dragon movie DS and I watched together. I let DS name our school, The Dragon Academy, so I chose an avatar that would reflect our name and mascot. That's what happens when you allow an 11 year old who was reading The Inheritance Cycle to choose a school name. At least he wasn't reading The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series at the time. --- He has read quite a few of the Hornblower series and thinks Hornblower's name and current avatar are cool.

Guest Katia Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Mine is Natsuki Kruger, the headmistress of the school in one of my favorite animes, Mai Otome. Since I am the headmistress of our school, she seemed appropriate; besides, I love how cool she is when she 'materializes'....and I'd love to have her bod and to be able to dress like that ;). And that perplexed look on her face.....I find myself with that look more often than not when it comes to a lot of the discussions on this board. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
