Finally got on the kid's schedule for getting internet things done.

Think this pic reflects my username better than anything I could comfortably say even on the 'who the frak r u' thread.

Mine is of Bu$h, exposed by "They Live" style-glasses. Not an original thought, but very apt for this forum.

Cheers,

As you wish. There are nine more, where that one came from, if you're interested. Though if you haven't taken the test and think you might want to some day, you should remember that you only get to be a virgin once.

I mean, they (probably? maybe?) have more projective potential if you've never seen them before. Or so the people who own the Rorschach rights claim, anyway. They're mad pissed at Wiki for posting them. So it could be more of a commercial than it is a therapeutic concern. Or it could be both. Or neither. I think they're lovely, and see different things in them at different times, myself. As I imagine practically everyone would. Except for Card V. That's just perfectly obviously a Spoiler:call you should make, right?

And sorry. But you'd just have to be fucking crazy not to see that.

Now I don't see your avatar at all, compared. Is it just me?

This one goes well with my member name but needs to be resized.

PD - You can do that in Paint if you have Windows, just click on Image->->Attributes and then change the pixels to 140x140, but you may want to select a square inside the image first, then copy that and paste it into a new image, otherwise the height and width will be skewed.

So yeah, the feed is coming through nicely. Directional response is outstanding. Will have to work on Zoom and Focus a bit. I can't believe how well it does in low light situations.

Well done C-2012...thanks!

Thanks, Maddy. It certainly expresses my feelings better than the other one.

I decided to use this, and it appears to have worked perfectly:

At first i didn't like the idea of having avatars because I thought it would distract from the content and the flow of the discussions. Now I love them. I'm completely blown away by the creativity displayed by everyone here in choosing their images. Definitely the most visually interesting internet forum I've ever seen... ( I haven't seen many though).

Hah! That's a good one Nordic. Or maybe a big jellyfish washed up onshore.

I'll also change my avatar soon, this one might be too revealing.


No! No! It's great. So colorful and unique. I love it.

I may change mine soon as well... why not?

From one of my favorite tee-shirts, I picked up in the now defunct 'Factsheet Five' zine, about zines. I thought it just punk enough... :lol: :microphone:
