I think it's time for a new avatar
I'm considering the Che one. I don't completely agree with his politics but he was a hero to me in childhood--I used to draw him a lot. I also tend to like posters with the Che atavar. I think it's been long enough that it wouldn't just tag me as a hardcore R.A.M. fan (nothing against them but I'm not a hardcore fan).

Those of you who know me, or don't, can you suggest any of the others? I'm open to suggestion on this.

1. Well, my dear Jed....
I can't really suggest anything, since these choices are so personal...

But I can provide you with a :kick:

Good luck, and happy hunting!

:hi:

5. Thanks for the kick, Peggy
Do you think the rubber ducky would suit me?

6. Hey, Jed!
I somehow think that the rubber ducky doesn't fit you too well!

I mean, you don't strike me as the type!

7. You meant this rubber ducky, right?
That's what mine always looked like when I was a kid...

3. I can't seem to stick with one avatar, myself.
I've done the world from space, the wine glass, Stephen Colbert, the equal symbol (equal rights for gay people during the marriage amendment thing), the sunflower now ...

I could do the state of Oregon, but that would probably be too obvious, because of my screen name.

4. I've been a little confused
A lot of people have been using gay symbols but say things in their posts that indicate being straight. Are they all bi or is this a solidarity thing? I feel a lot of solidarity now, since straight cohabitants' civil rights are obviously the next target.

I don't like the color on the state ones. Never figured out how to shrink a picture of my own to the size requirements.

The V for Vendetta one is cool, but I don't think it's as effective now that there aren't a million of them. Also, I use my avatar to find my post in threads.

The one I have is because supposedly some of my ancestors were actual pirates. Fun fact

I'm leaning to rubber ducky now, though.

8. Lots of us Straighties adopted a pink triangle or rainbow or equal avatar
to show solidarity over the past couple weeks (because of the anti- gay marriage thing happening) ...

BTW, I like the rubber ducky!

9. Ah. I was traveling around during all of that.
Thanks for the compliment on my new avatar.
