I'm curious about everyone's avatar. We all choose them based on something in our lives, or something that is important to us.

I'll start by saying that an "ajuma" (also spelled adjuma or ajjuma) is a Korean woman, married or "of a certain age" who feels that she is special and that the world revolves around her. She pushes in front of everyone in line and has little or no fashion sense.

While I'm not QUITE as bad as a true ajuma, I've learned a lot in Korea about asserting myself when need be.


So, how about you? What does your avatar mean to you?
