Explain your Av!

Guess.

^The Deep Space 9 baseball team?



Mine is an anthro cheetah study painting done by furry artist Heather Bruton; I liked the look of it, so I grabbed it, changed the color of the background, and there you go. I have it on the authority of someone in TNZ that the painting even looks like me IRL, so I guess it's a good choice.

Naw, even if I wasn't such a Yankee fan, I wouldn't have picked that. I like my teams to be real.

I wish I remembered who made that av for me. It was very nice!

My current (and favorite one) is an adaptation of a poster for a movie that was fairly popular. It was made for me by a close board friend several years ago. Alas, he no longer posts here.

 

[Diddle]

I honestly only realized now that you mentioned that your avatar wasn't exactly the Saving Private Ryan poster...

 

[Mallory]

And it has Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Scotty in it!

I thought my first three were pretty serious and said a lot about me, but here are three more in that vein:

1. I'm manic depressive, and I'm struggling desperately. Only people who've experienced it can know that slow and tortuous drowning is tolerable when the gasps of air are so pure that they induce clarity, peace, and utter capability in any endeavor. They know that one tolerates the demons for the times when he sees angels.
2. I think I am at a crux in my life and I have to act, and act soon, else I'll lose myself in more ways than one.
3. Sometimes I stay alive for the sake of my mother. Sometimes, it's "[t]he way a crow shook down on me the dust of snow from a hemlock tree [that] has given my heart a change of mood and saved a day that I had rued." Or it's the music. Or the curiosity. These are the drugs I need, like my daily insulin injections, to stay alive.

Wrong thread tsq...unless this explains your av...

I already took my sleeping pills! I knew posting now was a BAD idea!

Oh what a wonderful drunkl thread that would have been....

Y'know, there's a running gag in Toronto fandom that I know everyone. In the past week alone, I've discovered that a web design company whose podcasts my ex-bf follows designed the site for one of my clients' partners, and a blog post on the latter this week featured the photography of someone I used to know when he tended bar at my local, and who indirectly provided me with what became my Livejournal screen name. Then, earlier today, some of my friends' minds were boggled when Leslie Fish friended me on Facebook. And yet, now...

I've known Heather for years. She attends some local conventions (primarily Ad Astra, if memory serves). I don't think I knew what kind of art she created until now, though.

I guess I really do know everyone...

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ So do you know Kevin Bacon, then? 'Cuz that would be weird.

 

[TorontoTrekker]

Nope, I've never met the man. Last time I checked, I was two degrees of separation away from him.

 

[JonathonWally]

It's a shot of Trent Reznor from the Nine Inch Nails video for "Closer". I thought it looked "interesting" so I took it then added a bunch of effects to it in photoshop to make it a bit more surreal.

Dude, awesome. You mean "known" as in "known of," or literally "friends with?"

Actually, i really need to change my avatar, since i use it every year during the holidays as my protest over the holidays. I mean, what's more anti-holidays than Communism?

 

[think]

I, need to change my avatar as well, this thing -> is a fractal I mathematically guessed at and looks like that emblem thingy so I went with it.. but the picture actually has infinite recursion to where making it bigger or smaller is possible with exact detail .. guess we all know what a fractal is right? such that it is.
