Great avatar GoatOnFire. I'll miss it if it's indeed gone soon.
Can anyone guess the origin of my avatar? Want a hint? I've already given you 2 clues.

and wonder if others have the same reaction to avatars. You don't like Sweeny, Zonder?
It could be worse. How about an avatar depicting Samara from "The Ring" (esp. an animated GIF of that very disturbing thing she did at the end of the movie)?
For those who have been around WP awhile, has anyone done an avatar like that before? That would be a little too creepy even for me.

I'm not sure that I understand the clues, but I think it is Sauron, from Lord of the Rings, when he had a human form, but after he was able to become a creature of beauty.
"And it seemed to men that Sauron was great, though they feared the light of his eyes. "

I freak out when I see these cute little kitty avatars and then I see them post something nasty or unlike a sweet kitty's disposition. Why is that sweet looking kitty mad at me.
This is funny, I thought both Hale Bopp and Silver Proteus were guys. Took me a while to figure that out. I find the Sweeney Todd comical with his/her responses, I don't know if it's the avatar or the responses. It's like talking to Sweeney Todd.

My point, exactly, MissConstrue for starting this topic. It is interesting, in a disconcerting kind of way, to have a visual preconception of people because of the image they choose to represent themselves. Then, what they say in their posts doesn't match my visual preconceptions. That is probably because I have a strong visual aspect in my thinking, although I don't "think in pictures."
Your avatar looks quite a bit like you (I saw a photo or two that you posted), and gives off a capable, action-figure vibe. Not a bad impression.

Thanx Zonder, I thought about changing the avatar and then thought, no b/c ppl change theirs a lot. If someone does come up with the same avatar I'm using, then I'll change it. I'm a visual person, so when I see an avatar I remember it easier than just a name. I've never been that good at names. Yes, I luv comic books but have kept it in the closet, the avatar reminds me of something out of a comic book. I've always loved the idea of living fearlessly.

I've gotten divided responses on my avatar...some people love it and others loathe it.
Well, you can't please everybody.

SilverProteus, I love your avatar! 
Sweeney Todd is one of my favourite films, and so the vibe I get off yours is simply that of rather brilliant taste. ^-^ I'd love to know what people must think of my avatar, though... ;^^

I get a sense of nostalgia when I see your avatar, tantopat. I watched that movie so many times when I was a child.
