Why Did You Choose That Username And/Or That Avatar (Or No Avatar At All)?

[Anrish]

Because it's a reminder of what I'm capable of. I took this picture after a dangerous and exhausting tour in the Alpes. The little tiger is from my best friend who could not come with me. And since then, he's always in my backpack when I do tours - like a good luck charm. It's a good memory for me and since I want to try to be more positive, I thought I take this one.

But it can always change - according to my mood.

@LuckyDuck what a freaking awesome bird! • Laurie that resonates with me and I did the the same as a young child. :hug: • @jaccat Death:the High Cost of Living changed my perspective on comic books as a teen! Death is quirky, funny, introspective, and she is the glue that holds the Endless together. <3 Though I umm relate(d) to Delirium best of all. O.o •

I was searching for a photo in my giant folder and found this one. It's a scene from the movie Ponyo. Ponyo is one of my favorite movies by Hayao Miyazaki. The artistic capability of himself and his crew is incredible. The movie was based on the Little Mermaid, just with a twist. The main character Ponyo, the weird fish-human in the photo, has such an appreciation for everything around her and she's so cute. She got really excited just about a piece of ham in her ramen. I want to get that fearlessness and wonder back, like she has!

@desiderata310 such a fun and slightly disturbing avatar. :) I knew of Allie's work, but not the name or website, so thank you for sharing I'm following her web comic now! • @Jane1991 such a graphic and thoughtful choice. • You must indeed be beautiful, and love the expression. :) • @Recovery4Me I agree that magic is everywhere :) • @Unraveling1 owls are the symbol of Athena and wisdom, so you can't go wrong there! :D • @weavingcowboy red shoes are powerful and cowboy boots doubly so. :)

Mine is simply me from near the end of January when going out with my husband I'm usually seated or take care not to show crutches I decided 'eff it. I'm trying to be more present in life so that is the main reason why I used the one I did. The next one will be from Disneyland! lol

Mine is a gnarled tree. Backpacking in alpine areas of the western US, I've come across many trees that have been smashed, torn, buried, frozen, burned, ripped, stomped, and used as a backscratcher by bears.

Yet they still live, they don't know how to quit.

After seeing hundreds of these, I began to feel inspired whenever I saw them.
