Why the avatar?
Thought it might be interesting to see why you guys picked that particular avatar? Reason for that thought is that there has to be a reason that one jumped out at you and you picked it.
I picked mine because I needed something positive and as my name is a positive one for me I picked a picture to remind me that if I want to get better I hold the light. There will always be a light to follow because I am holding it.. if you get what I mean.. basically I'm holding the light so there's always going to be one there... it's just I don't always see it.

I like trees. And I like the perspective, the way it suggests growth and reaching. It reflects where I feel I'm at. And it looks really cool.

My avatar reminds of childhood and innocence beacuse of the crayons. Also I like the bright colours, they make me feel happier and I want others to feel this too. I don't know if they do but I thought it might.

I picked this one because it's basically how I get through my day. I wake up, I survive the day, I go to sleep. Each and every day.

My avatar is a celtic circle. First reason is because I love anything Irish/Celtic. Second reason is because celtic knotwork is never ending, it just keeps continuing the same cycle, and thats how I feel. I'm always in this never ending cycle which I call my life.

I chose this one because I love giraffes - they're gentle and beautiful, and certainly unique. To me they symbolise being accepted for who you are, as well as symbolising the kind of person I'd like to be.
In addition, the first time I saw a real giraffe was a very happy day for me. Every time I see my avatar, or any other giraffe, I am reminded of that moment in time.

I picked this one first b/c of the lightning and how it matches with the name that I picked. Secondly I liked it b/c it in many ways reminds me of myself, though not really comfortable enough to go into detail on that part now.

ok, mine changed. I picked this one because it suits my user name better, plus i like the whole story of the phoenix, only one...dying in flames, a new one rising up from the ashes...ect.

Christ be ever before me. Christ be ever behind me. Christ be ever within me.
i made mine. its got ed and al in it, and they > sex. but mainly i picked it because it was the only one i could optimize to the right size and not have it look like total crap *is an avatar whore*
"I'M A DISGUSTING WORTHLESS BILGESACK ON THE GARGANTUAN TEAT OF A LABORING, LEPROUS MUSCLEBEAST. MY SELF ESTEEM IS SO SMALL, ITS EXISTENCE IS A MATTER OF CONJECTURE AMONG THEORETICAL PHYSICISTS. THE ODOR MY BODY MAKES HAS MADE POETS CRY. I UNFAIRLY PULVERIZE THE COMPETITION IN ASSHOLE PAGEANTS, AND I HAVE RECEIVED A LIFETIME BAN FROM UGLY CONTESTS BY PRESIDENT SHITFACE HIMSELF. MY BLOOD IS NOT FIT TO FLOW THROUGH A SEWER, AND MY SIGN IS A PICTOGRAPHIC SYMBOL THAT LOOSELY TRANSLATES AS "PLEASE HIKE THESE PANTS UP TO THIS GUY'S ARMPITS, CHAIN HIM TO A FLOGGING JUT, AND MAKE A FUCKING EXAMPLE OUT OF THIS SORRY SACK OF SHIT." WHEN I LOOK IN A MIRROR, MY REFLECTION SLOWLY SHAKES HIS HEAD WHILE I WET MYSELF IN SHAME."
