GTKNY: Talk to me about your avatar!

PinkCamino · February 2014

HI ladies,

I've noticed some of us use pictures, other cartoons and still others pictures of our furry friends.

What's your avatar? Is it you? Your pet? Your fam? Stock avatar?

Why did you decide to use it???

LaRomana09 · February 2014

I love this one! Mine is the beach and gazebo where DH and I got married. I wanted to use something personal and meaningful but I didn't want my picture in it.

I love looking at people's avatars! I like to think of you (@pinkcamino) as a bad ass rocker type chick... like a Kat Von D/vintage/pinup-y type person... I dont know why... that is just what your avatar makes me envision

I have my wedding bouquet... I had a picture of Hubs and me, but felt I narcissistic when I added the ones in my siggy too.... so I switched it.... not an exciting story

Mine used to be my cat when we first got her. But last weekend I decided to request to change my screenname (since my current screenname is my IRL first and last name, long story, and I decided it was time to fix that). I have a long-term fascination with Grail myth and symbols, so much that I'm working it into my doctoral dissertation about mind-body/masculine-feminine duality. The screenname I requested was GrailSeeker14 - for that lifetime fascination with Grail stories, my dissertation subject, and feeling like a sticky baby would be our family's Holy Grail. Still waiting on the screenname change, but figured I'd try out the avatar that is both body AND Grail.

the first time I saw your avatar the first thing that went through my head was "cool, what an awesome ute image"

Mine is from my wedding day. DH and I did a rose ceremony at our wedding and it was so beautiful. Just seeing that rose gives me hope for the future.

luciddreamer106 · February 2014

Mine is a picture taken in Badlands National Park, South Dakota. My ILs live in SD and they took us on a mini roadtrip. That place is incredible.

@luciddreamer106 I absolutely love the Badlands. I travelled across the country for a few months and though it's hard to say any one place was my favorite, badlands is top three for sure.

My avatar looks a lot like me and I love Portlandia. Put a bird on it!

bunnybun4 · February 2014

Mine is my sweet little puppy...makes me happy to see her and I am not really creative either

ToriGirl2014 · February 2014

I wanted something pretty that reminded me to stay positive, so mine is a Pol Ledent painting full of vibrant colors.

Poppy715 · February 2014

Mine is DH and I immediately after our wedding ceremony. It was the first time we were alone together the whole day. We were back behind some trees and foliage. It was so precious and we just kept kissing each other and saying we're married! I loved having a little bit of time with him before the onslaught of group pictures and hoopla started.

Mine is nothing fancy but a quote that I felt completely embodied this whole process. Also, I am a fighter at heart.

Here it is:

I have been curious about @smcniff, @almostamissus, and @NoeliaV. Stories?

PinkCamino · February 2014

given my obsession with utes I think this would be more appropriate as my avatar

gscoville · February 2014

Mine is one of my fave pics from our wedding day, just a touch silly and fun like we tend to be with each other.

blackbird818 · February 2014

Mine is an engagement picture. I've been thinking about changing it though....

Me too. Everyone I get close or start looking I don't. I always get compliments on mine. I like the boost of confidence. Someone once told me they could feel the love coming from the photo it made me all $:\$ "> .

A bunch of girls got together (a few years ago now) and did a photo shoot for fun. We did photos on three separate sets. This was supposed to be a candy-shop feel and another one I really liked was supposed to be like Amazon woman themed. lol. Oh my, we were a strange bunch!!

Eta: @ktlovess I've never seen a flower like that! It's beautiful! What is it?

Haha! Heck no! Although I did do some acting once upon a time (highschool counts, right???) Actually though, the acting is something I'm rather proud of. My first audition ever I got the role of Anne Frank!

divinemsbee · February 2014

Mine is my cat, Huck. And he is my Huckleberry. I got him in college and he's been my awesome dude ever since. This one is of him under the Christmas tree at my mom's house. Apparently he liked sleeping on the tree skirt.

MoreThanSparrows08 · February 2014

Mine is a watercolor sparrow. I would LOVE to get it tattooed someday, but it would have to be large, and I'm not sure I'm up for all that yet... For now, it's my avatar

MoreThanSparrows08 · February 2014

I thought my images uploaded the first time... guess not... Sorry for the 2nd post...

(stuck in the dreaded quote box :: sigh ::)
Mine is pulled from google images, but it's a picture of Christmas lights, like if you stood under some and spun around?

***pregnancy mentioned***

I was on the December BMB and I found it while looking for images to use for our board's image/tag/button thingee. I thought it was so pretty and it makes me happy to see it.

RustyGirl3 · February 2014

Mine is me and DH outside of Camden Yards in Baltimore.

We went there for a game while on a camping trip in 2009.

I love this picture of us.

Oh, and because of this question I feel like I should make a PSA and explain.

Some one pointed out to me that my screen name could be read as "Almost a Miss U.S." It's totally not. I'm from Canada and I've had this screen name since the knot. I wanted "Almost a Mrs" but it was taken. So I spelled it out long form "missus"
If this is too much useless info about me for one day, I apologize, but I had to get it off my chest!

Mine is just one of the stock avatars (obviously) because I'm boring and LAZY!

East Coast, Canada and I bet you're the only person on this board who knows where that is. How about you?

LaRomana09 · February 2014

@sunnydaysarehere With your SN, you should have a sunshine avatar!!!

Ideas:

almostamissus · February 2014

We were thinking about going there for March break. Both Dh and I have family there. But he didn't take time off work. What's the weather there now? The last time we went in March it was 32degrees!!! So jealous of how early spring comes there. We'll probably still have snow melting in May!

Right now it is -30 and blowing snow, highway closed because of a 96 car pile up. It isn't normally that warm in March, I remember then, it was around Easter?

Maybe... I'd have to look it up. But I think it was two years ago. It was crazy because we spent a night in Old Quebec and it was -30 but by the end of the week in TO it was 32. It's a wonder my immune system didn't explode.

skategirl128 · February 2014

Mine is a picture of the roses that grow in my yard. I was obsessed with flowers last year after my loss so it became a fitting avatar for me. But given my screenname I feel like I should put ice skates or something along those lines instead.

I really should. Maybe one of these days I'll get it changed. I just really never think about it, but this thread is inspiring me!

Mine is my furbaby Mclovin. I chose him because even though I love my cats equally, mclovin is *literally* the cutest cat in the entire world he's wearing a crown because my old bmb declared me a duchess of the board (as a result of newb drama of course).

@meladoriestar So you say, but has he been on the cover of a magazine?!?! JK, he is pretty freaking adorable. BTW, whenever Fray is being sassy lately I've been telling him that just because he's a fancy model now doesn't mean he can have everything he wants. :P

I always read @smcniff as mcsniff. It makes me think she has allergies

I do have allergies!

This is a photo of my right eye which has both brown and green in it. It is an appropriate avitar for me because I am an optometrist.

Belle3184 · February 2014

Mine is my bouquet from my wedding (you'd never guess, right)?

I loved it and I didn't want to use my face, so flowers it was.

Want a personalized experience?
