Who is in yours, and why?

Some of you have changed it multiple times. Who were your previous ones, and why?

Mine's Noah Hathaway, coz he was the cutest and hottest teen EVER. (You guys should have voted more for him in the beauty pageant! *pouts*)

Hiya Lenny! I don't see Noah Hathaway in your avatar window...I see what I think are reindeer humping...is it a code or something? hehe Surprised ::-)

My avatar started out being a cute kid photo...the son of friends of mine. But now I have it changed to an arial photo of the coastline not far from where Man and I live.

I may change it again...when the spirit moves me...it's fun to think of the possibilities...

I still like Ron's the best, tho. Sad)

currently, mine is daniel johns, from the australian band silverchair. i use him to portray the main and most busy character i write for on AOL forums. i wish i was him, and that he was NOT marrying gross natalie imbruglia who has ruined his career and band.

in the past i've had various shots of brian and justin from QAF US. i also wish i was brian kinney.

fleetingly, i had one of myself once, but then i got too nervous using myself in an avatar here. i have a few different ones ... one is when i was 17 or 19 ... i don't remember because i was a bit intoxicated (hence such a natural smile -- NOT because i was drunk, but because i wasn't expecting the camera). i was not the smartest in my youth. but i like the picture. maybe i'll use it here someday..

In the beauty pageant Noah was a scrawny kid!

Now my avatar is a picture that I was sent. And that I like. That's the one at present. The lightning flash. Otherwise I've used boats I sailed or want to sail.

Some of you already know my story...
But what the heck, I'm gonna say it again anyway! ;-D ;-D ;-D

Before I begin, I apologize if some of the pics are going to be too big.

It's my first avatar actually...
and I might change it once I find a better pic. ;-D

It's a picture of Vanness Wu. He's an actor who grew up in the states (L.A.) and later moved to Taiwan to shoot "Meteor Garden"- an anime based TV drama. Try to look it up on the net if you guys have the time. The story's really nice. Anyway, Vanness is a member of a Taiwanese band called "F4". I've attached a picture of the whole group here so that you guys can see. (He's the one in green). They're currently PEPSI's models for Asia. Vanness also appeared in Run DMC's and Beyonce's MTVs as well.

I really like him a lot, but not because of HIM per se- but because he looks A LOT LIKE the very first guy I ever fell for- Stephen.
And so... that's that. Smile
Any questions? Just ask! Sad) Sad) Sad) BTW, Wu Jian Hao is Vanness' Chinese name. ;-D

hehehe, well, my current Avatar is a picture I drew. Kinda had this image of an angel walking away from something he couldn't prevent from happening. If I ever get the urge to color it in it might have a little more depth to it, but for now, the inks alone kinda make it pop a little. It's kinda sqashed in the corner like it is, so i'll just enlarge it here for you.

Thanks, David. That was one of the first pictures I ever came across on the Internet (and I'm so glad I had it backed up on a CD when my computer crashed last July!). When Timmy and Bernd added this feature to the message board, I thought it sort of exemplified what I felt this place was all about.

Getting all fancy schmancy with the large pictures here, eh? Well, if anyone wants to see an un-Avatarized version of MY photograph they can visit my laughably simple website, posted on my profile. So there!;-D
