Can anyone here make me an avatar?

Ok, I have no skills. None. If I had any 'puter skills, I'd probably be on the lam for defacing the Consumer Freedom site.

Sigh. Anyone, please?

2. I do. Easily recognizable.

And will be my first tattoo, when I find my spine and go get it. Here you go:

I guess what I was asking was if you wanted a border, etc :)
ETA, was that what you had in mind?

6. That's perfect! Thank you. Okay, now smbolisnch ONLY read this

How do I insert this as my avatar?

I'm an idiot, I know. The DU instructions are clear, but I don't get it. Do I have to save it to my hard drive, then upload?

8. lol, yes.

Save it to your hard drive.
Then go into edit my profile, in the avatar box click upload.
Choose that image. Upload it.
In the avatar name box, you put personal/148044.jpg <<<this may not be your number, it tells you what number to use in the box.

Let me know if that makes sense...I am terrible with directions!

12. Noooo, it's ok!

I can still tell what it is, but I think that was the smaller one. :) I didn't mean to sound nasty!

13. No, you weren't being nasty.

I redid it, and it is the larger one. I guess that in the resizing, it loses a little of it's smoothness. I still love it! Thank you!

15. If they do, great. If not, and they ask, I'll fill them in. Most of all,

it's me. Everything I am is wrapped up in that leaping bunny...

except he/she should be wearing a ski mask or balaclava. *snort*

Thank you again.

17. Ooooooh, I like it. That way, whenever a topic comes up

I can select an appropriate avatar.

I love this one though. It's going on my right calf (appropriately enough) when I get the gumption.

18. I will do it then!

We want pictures when you do get it done! I watched my friend get one on his back of his fraternity logo. His face was three shades of purple! :scared:

19. That's a promise.

I know it'll hurt, but I know a vegan tattoo artist with veg ink who'll do it for me. It's gonna be great advertising for a cruelty-free lifestyle, too.

21. I was wondering a while ago...

If anyone would ever be brave enough to create a PETA avatar.

I don't know if I'm that masochistic.

22. Hell, I had a quote from Ingrid in my sig line for quite a while.

If I weren't so smitten with my new avatar, I'd be game.

Someone 'round here has a "meetyourmeat.com" avatar, though. Lots of you good veg folk have links in your sigs, too. Mine is just propagandhi...something to think about.

Now, BRAVE would be making an avatar out of an activist in a balaclava, holding a beagle, like this one:

or this

24. Hmm...I wouldn't mind that.

There's a sense of irony to it.

It's just anything with the word PETA in it that I think would cause nonsensical violent reactions to anything you posted on any topic whatsoever.

Yeah. That's what I was envisioning in my worst nightmare. An avatar that said PETA. B-)

29. Ooooh..........

I'll do it next time there's a PETA thread. Or sooner, depending...

I'm having a conversation in the Feminist group with this nice guy and I don't want to scare the living fuck out of him. He's been through enough there this week. You know those feminists. :evilgrin:

I did go to options and put the url in my sig line before I thought of that. :dilemma:

31. You wouldn't believe how many men think I'm Satan.

On the internet, anyway.

The first was a NYC Law Professor, thrice nominated for a Pulitzer Prize who didn't want me posting about astrology on a movie board. :eyes:

I'm not sayin' who, though.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0195169115/ref=sid_dp_dp/103-8349663-7803812?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance

He complained on the phone to his female friends (on the board) for sympathy and made a dramatic farewell exit.

Sometimes I don't know my own strength. :nuke:

Poor Monkey.

I just got my Primate Freedom Tag last week, so the monkeys are on my mind. My adopted monkey is in Seattle, WA. :(

http://www.primatefreedom.com/whatare.html

That made me think of adding the Primate Freedom Project gif to my sig line, but I didn't know it was going to take up the whole bottom of the screen. It seems like a bit much! That little monkey is depressing though, so I wanted to add "something people can do" if they're depressed by the monkey.
