Finally, A new avatar!!! email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 77/100. drknlvly6781 (3163)   ranked 2,677 out of 32,442 in mylot.com10 months ago

Well, after having the last avatar since last year, I decided to take some more pictures and make a new avatar. I just got my hair cut in a little cute style, and also I wanted a picture that showed me wearing glasses, which I do more often than not when I am on the computer. I hope that this time, I don't get many misnomers and get called a guy again rolleyes I do look like a girl, don't I?

I like using my picture as an avatar, because I believe that I am reaching out to people, and I would like them to know who they are talking to. I tend to use the same picture for everything that requires an avatar online, kinda branding my face across the internet, so to speak.

Anywayz, so I can make this a valid discussion lol, I won't ask you how often you change your avatar. That question has been done to death here, anyone with a post count of more than 1000 knows that. What I will ask is this, how do you choose your avatar? Is it a picture of you, or something you aspire to be? Is is a favorite cartoon? Do you just choose what strikes you at the moment, or is there a meaning to it?

HOW could anyone think you were a guy?
And how long did it take for your hair to grow so long?
(just kidding drknlvly, really lol)
But really, what kind of glasses are those, that I can see right through to your lovely eyes? They ARE NOT dark glasses. I wear amber glasses when at the PC, to keep my eyes from straining...bought them at Sam's if you care. yawn
Anyway, back to your question, NO! I don't change, nor have I, nor do I intend to change my avatar; it's the closest representation of me that I could find, except the wings. A true facsimile of me might scare away my friends. So there!
Welcome back, I missed you. happy


myLot reputation of 77/100. drknlvly6781 (3163)   ranked 2,677 out of 32,442 in mylot.com  10 months ago

Oh, I've always been here Mechanic, just not posting as often as I should. Business kinda getting in the way. But good things are happening and I hope to share them with everyone here.

The glasses I have on are the cheapest of cheap from the Dollar Tree lol. I only have a slight vision problem, and it only affects me when I am on the computer or reading for long periods of time. So those are good enough until I am not so lazy and go to the eye doctor lol.

Thanks for the tip on the amber glasses though that can help a lot.

I just noticed the change in one of my discussions... thumbup

I've had so many it's ridiculous. I've got the squirrel at the moment 'cause a friend here started a discussion asking where the squirrel was he wanted me to send him. lol


myLot reputation of 77/100. drknlvly6781 (3163)   ranked 2,677 out of 32,442 in mylot.com  10 months ago

Thanks for the Myklj999 seal of approval lol! Actually, I responded to that discussion, then changed the avatar, so you weren't too late. I wondered why the squirrel all of a sudden, even though you have said before that you live in the albino squirrel capital there in Olney.

Speaking of which, I have to ask you have you been making a few trips up to Ohio? There is this guy that visits this White Castle's around the corner from my house, and I swear he looks like you dude!!! Cincinnati is just a little stretch down the road, you been visiting here Myk?

I think you look like a girl. I don't get why anyone thought your were a dude in your last one.

I changed my avatar recently to a picture of my daughter that I thought was just adorable. I change it sometimes when I find a picture I really like.


myLot reputation of 77/100. drknlvly6781 (3163)   ranked 2,677 out of 32,442 in mylot.com  10 months ago

It wasn't the last pic that I had, it was the one previous. Another pose that I had took that same day. I guess I didn't have enough hair showing, so soon after when I was responding to discussions people were talking like "I agree with him" and whatnot. So I changed it to the pic I had before this one.

This time when I took the pic I made sure that I showed my hair, so I didn't go through having to explain x amount of times that I wasn't a guy.

I keep my avatars to pictures of me, because I do a lot of business over the internet. Even though this is the age of technology, I would like the people I do business with to still feel we are doing business face to face. If it wasn't for that I probably would be using Sailor Moon pictures lol.

HI,

Firstly, your avatar is lovely and yes, you do look like a girl.
It's nice that you are smiling in your avatar.
I, for one, like to look at smiling faces.
happy

I always choose an avatar that is a work of art of mine. The avatar I am using here on Mylot is a drawing I created and sold, of the drawing of an eye.:)


Have a terrific day!
happy


myLot reputation of 77/100. drknlvly6781 (3163)   ranked 2,677 out of 32,442 in mylot.com  10 months ago

Wow that is great! I always thought that it was a clip of a larger picture though. You have good skills in drawing, skills that I sometimes wish I had. I have the gift of manual dexterity, being able to write and type, but drawing has never been kind to me lol. I love your avatar, and would like to see more of your work.


myLot reputation of 91/100. fineartist (513)   ranked 1,822 out of 32,442 in mylot.com  10 months ago

Thanks very much for your lovely reply. happy

myLot reputation of 77/100. drknlvly6781 (3163)   ranked 2,677 out of 32,442 in mylot.com  10 months ago

You say you changed your avatar because you were cold, but this one has you in a spaghetti strap shirt blinklol, its good. But maybe next time you will use a pic that shows more of your face?


myLot reputation of 91/100. bombshell (5401)   ranked 1,009 out of 32,442 in mylot.com  10 months ago

hehehe because the other avatar was half naked and this one here is i have jenas on.my face?you can see it my face clearlywinkhappy

Well, I can see it, but its so small I can't make anything out. Maybe its just me and my poor eyesight lol.

since i got your discussion on my mail i have to go around to see what your new avatar is. and yes i think this is a new and fresh you. your other avatar was quite serious and here you have a little smile. it is nice to see people update their avatar.... i will soon update mine if i find the right photo that i feel would be a great avatar. and yes it is a valid discussin. lol. i am a member for three years already and the first avatar of mine was my picture.... i changed it three times... then i put a picture of shrek.... then changed it again with my photo then changed it again with shrek and his family then now the pictures of my children but it was taken 7 or 8 years ago.


myLot reputation of 77/100. drknlvly6781 (3163)   ranked 2,677 out of 32,442 in mylot.com  10 months ago

Yes, I remember all of those pictures. Even when you used Shrek it reflected you and your family life. Its great that you show your family off proudly like that. I can't get my kids to sit still long enough to take a picture lol. But I am thinking of taking a family picture next month, so maybe that will be my next avatar once I get them back and scan them.

I was smiling very slightly in the last avatar, but many people didn't see that so I'm not surprised that you thought the previous was so serious. I try not to smile too hard, that is what I am used to, but my features get so smushed up when I do that, its hard to tell that its me.


myLot reputation of 98/100. roniroxas (5937)   ranked 1,157 out of 32,442 in mylot.com  10 months ago

wow that is so cool that you remember me changing avatar. thank you thank you. it is not easy to let toodlers to sit still i agree with you with that.... but i hope you can get a great photo with them together. hope to see you more smile... just wanted to see how that looks happy

"A MAN!!!" baby please! if some guy looked at your Pic and saw a "Man" then baby he was "TRYING" to see a man, to talk to (if you know what I mean "Wink"). I always thought you were cute, I just hate that all you cuties live so far away. lol


myLot reputation of 77/100. drknlvly6781 (3163)   ranked 2,677 out of 32,442 in mylot.com  10 months ago

LOL, you always bring my spirits up. I don't think you saw the pic I had previous to the last one. It was taken on the same day, but I was facing the camera head on, so you couldn't see my hair. It kinda looked like I had a fade or a slick, so a few people were saying that they agreed with "him" and stuff. I got tired of explaining over and over that I was a woman, so I changed it to the one taken from the side, where my ponytail showed.

This time I took the pic from the side just to make sure that everyone saw that I had hair. That was the problem last time.

I think your face didn't change from your last avtar just the background and the cloth is changed.

I always like your last avtar. It used to leave me a smile on my face everytime I saw that. NOw, I have to get use of this avtar. Hmm, became a little old too, don't you think?


myLot reputation of 77/100. drknlvly6781 (3163)   ranked 2,677 out of 32,442 in mylot.com  10 months ago

Well, you were the one that thought I was in the seventh grade last time we talked lol, maybe its a good thing that I look older in this pic. But yeah, its still me, so I didn't expect the face to change. I took the previous one in my patio room when my computer was still up there, and I took the new ones in the basement where the computer is now, so that is why the background is different.

Don't worry though. If this avatar has the staying power of the last one, you have a whole year to get used to it.


myLot reputation of 89/100. sanuanu (3903)   ranked 570 out of 32,442 in mylot.com  10 months ago

That is a good news that you are not going to change your avtar until next year and yes, we chatted last time when you were in seventh grade. I wonder you have completed your school in no time. LOL

Alright, I think this can encorage me to give my pic at my avtar. I am not that good looking so, I am always staying away from posting my own pic!

When I picked my avatar I was looking for something that would get noticed. I spent hours looking at page after page of avatars. When I saw that mouse and watched him dance his little hiney off I knew that was the one for me.


myLot reputation of 77/100. drknlvly6781 (3163)   ranked 2,677 out of 32,442 in mylot.com  10 months ago

Hey Savak! Yes, you chose the right avatar for what you wanted to do. You cannot help but see your avatar on any page that you post on lol. That little mouse is very cute, but do you think you will change him at any time? Maybe put up a picture of yourself, or another moving avatar so you can capitvate our attention again?


myLot reputation of 98/100. savak03 (2174)   ranked 291 out of 32,442 in mylot.com  10 months ago

I don't ever expect to post a picture of myself. I don't think I photograph well and don't like the way I look in pictures. Also I am a little security conscious. Not much, just a little.

As far as changing the mouse to another avatar, it took me hours to settle on him and I really don't have the time to do another search. Besides, this way all my friends know it's me instantly.

I like your new avatar...since i can really see your face... and you are so beautiful... i wonder why others would think you are a guy... since most of your discussions and responses are so girl like...

Well, i haven't changed my avatar for a long time now... and i haven't seen a picture that i really like so... i think i will just stick to what i have for now...


myLot reputation of 77/100. drknlvly6781 (3163)   ranked 2,677 out of 32,442 in mylot.com  10 months ago

I think that flower is very pretty, and if you don't want to change it, you don't have to, I give you that permission lol.

These people that thought I was a guy could be classified under those people who look at the title line of a discussion, then respond without reading the discussion itself. I took it with a little more than a grain of salt, because now when I take photos, I try to make sure that my hair is showing so people know I am a girl.

Thanks for the complimentblush
