How Did You Choose Your Avatar?

[lindijanice]

Hi All, I always enjoy seeing people's avatars and sometimes wonder how in the world were they chosen? Some of them make me laugh out loud, others give me pause and I think, "What is the story behind that one?" If you wouldn't mind sharing?? I don't have one yet, and am still searching and maybe I will get some ideas from y'all!
Thanks/L

No idea.
It means nothing.
Was a convenient and easy download as far as I can remember.
I keep meaning to change it and you might have spurred me on

Mine is my eldest grand daughter. I have raised her since she was born so we are very close.

The Robin is my all time favourite garden bird.

Mine is a gargoyle.

Anybody who knows what I look like will tell you that it's highly appropriate

On hols last year and was taken on my 50th birthday. Something I NEVER thought i would have the "balls" to do BUT soooo glad I done it

 

[jay hay-char]

Reminds me of a Facebook post from our daughter, two or three years back:

"Can't believe I've just jumped out of a plane over the Barrier Reef"

Mind you - preferable to seeing one that said "Just about to jump out of a plane over the Barrier Reef"

I picked Homer Simpson because he reminded me of my old self eat pretty much anything and guzzle beer like a fish. I've stopped all that now and after reading the forum I've dropped 3 stones in 5 weeks and follow the low carb diet

What I was born to do!

Quite simply I love shocked looking felines.....

And all cats in general... Love their dark, sinister undertones...

Beautiful, elegant hunting machines!..

And furry!

Mine was a wolf - see my screen name and it might give you some ideas

Then I had me as a kid, probably 45 years ago hee hee

Now I have a photo of me I actually dont mind looking at. I thought the people here would find it good to see who they were speaking to. Only took me 2 years

Ha, normally takes me about two years of trying to get a decent selfie!!

Hence the shocked looking feline to the left!

I love your avatar and have seen it posted over the internet with a few different statements, usually rude ones.

I dont take good pictures. I practise with my mobile and then delete them. The best pics I get are taken by my 8 year old granddaughter.

The one in my avatar was taken in a small Italian restaurant in Swansea. I think I was a bit worse for wear hee hee

 

[kevinfitzgerald]

Ha. The full picture is rather rude looking hence the neck up only!..

 

[Lamont D]

My current one is my medical necklace.
Former ones are of my local football club views, Christmas stuff and other memorabilia.
Thinking of going trekkie later in the year!

 

[JTL]

Changed.
I have a head full of music.

 

[Cumberland]

Mine is my ugly mush

 

[Fairygodmother]

Mine is because I’ve always liked the fairy godmothers who aren’t like the one in the original tales. There was a great one I saw in a pantomime a very long time ago who wore muddy gum boots, she was a bit clumsy too. And then there’s Mavis! The picture’s the best I found on an internet search.

Mine is a present my husband got me last year for my 50th . Seeing as he's the reason I joined the group thought I'd you it as my avatar. The picture I thought says it all. X

 

[Ambersilva]

Mine is a selfie when I had a hypo!
