Does your Avatar describe you?

Well, in my case, yes. It does. Well, not the fullest but maybe a part of my skills. Linux has always been my passion and I think the avatars are the giveaways of a person, not necessarily in mylot but in other websites as well! What do you think?

Aboard a sailboat. - The reason I began to work online was to be able to pay for travels and vacations. Now I divide my time at the computer between mylot (joy) and PTC sites (boredom). The goal is still there.
That´s an easy one, kar. Because in my case it´s a picture of myself. It describes me in more than one way though, because I use my online earnings for travels and vacation and this picture is one taken in my last vacations. Probably, if I change it later, it will be when I take vacations again. But I don´t know when this wil happen exactly. Until now, it´s me aboard a sail boat in January 1009. Happy posting!

That is good - and I like your methodology of self funded vacations!

Well... I had to decide between an Apple logo and a WoW thing... I decided to put my WoW character as my avatar cause I think he's cool. I don't play wow anymore though, but I have very good memories from it and I always remember them when seeing my own avatar. And of course... My avatar looks just so cool xD Happy myLotting everyone!

Ah sorry. No, it actually mean World of Warcraft :D It's a really popular MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game).

My avatar does reflect my personality in any way, it simply seemed an appropriate choice for writing. I used it for many years as part of my email signature and simply reduced the size to fit Mylot. I have used several different ones over the years, from a caveman to a genie, but prefer the current one. I like your Ubuntu avatar, it is the first time that I have seen it in blue.

I have never used either Kubuntu or Edubuntu, but I should have realised that they would have their own variation of the symbol. I believe that Kubuntu is based on the KDE desktop, but that is the only difference that I am aware of.

Mine is not an Ubuntu Avatar but an avatar of Kubuntu - another GNOME version of Ubuntu.

Mine represents being active and fast, but descriptive.

Usually there is some relevance in the avatar we pick and the greatest passions we hold. My avatar is just something i found interesting, and is the 3rd or 4th one since i joined mylot. Recently, i havn't been having much time to look up new interests, hence my avatar is stuck for nearly an year. In forums, most people don't put avatars unless its an entertainment sort-of themed forum. And a lareg group of people who are members of only one forum usually put up their scanned passport-sized photos. In a way, we can tell much about the habits of a person from the frequency of their changes, and the kind of avatar they use. Happy mylotting. Your topic has been a great point to ponder upon.

I can see nothing but a women in a frock running - but people do not have the same taste and perception! Just like how my Kubuntu Avatar impressed me, this may seem to impress you too!

My avatar couldn't describe me any better than it does if I wanted it to. You see, my avatar is a picture of me so I know that the people that I am talking to can feel like they know me to a certain extent. There are some sites that I choose to remain more anonymous, but on here, I feel like I am really a part of a community and because of that I want to share as much about myself as I feel like I am able to do and still be safe.

I have chosen a little angel for my avatar. :) I am 50 years old. :) But my wishes for others resemble those. I wish to make everybody happy, and that was the purpose of selecting that avatar. Does it describe me in real life? I dont think so. :) There are some unfair wishes, which I cant possibly fulfil. :) I can at the most decrease pain. :)
