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?

Well, my user name was picked because that was how I spelt sapphire, my favourite colour, when I was small. And my Avatar is my fav peep in Virtual Families!

My avatar has nothing to do with my username. My username was my first name, with two letters removed and one added, and "The Great" comes from my (old) job on Maplestory as a Magican.

My avatar is the Go-Rock Quads, an evil rock band off my fave video game, Pokemon Ranger. I added some sparkles using Blingee and got the picture in an avatar size. :3

My avatar image always shows the latest generation wife and husband in my main family that I based off of me and my fiancé as the founders.

My username I've used in many different websites, Lyssa being one of my nicknames and ria meaning river. Originally, I wanted Lyssara to use "ara" from my middle name Cara but I got used to Lyssaria. smile

My dog's name is hali (but that was probably obvious), but AR made this Avi for me because I say it quite a bit these days, lol.

I made myself my new avatar! Yay! (my old one was a pink Finder icon, because I have a Mac and I'm female [there was some confusion about that at one point].
But my new one I made using one of the VF peeps because I finally got one (it took 8 generations) that looks like me, and I have a Mac, and I like LDW games! (The LDW program window in the avatar is actually the loading screen of VF!)

Thanks Lewanda and Lyssaria! I still can't believe I made it myself as I usually am not so good at image editing! (I wasn't talking about you Lyssaria, Rockmower thought I was male for a while apparently.)
Did you know the mac in the picture is a real Mac? I found a photo of one and shrunk it down to really really really tiny scale, then put it in the image and added the LDW logo window :P
