It's Gordon, the best character from the show Supernatural (naturally, he was only in it for a little bit).

He sucks at shooting though. He should have easily taken out Sam and the chick, even with subsonic ammunition, from his perch across the street.

It really shows, like many other ones I have, that I like loners who skirt the border of society.

my avatar may indicate that i am stuck in set concrete because i will never change it.
if i lived for 500 years more and posted here everyday, then in my final post, my avatar will be the same as it was when i joined this site in the greeting thread.

my avatar does not evoke emotions or feelings of deep human credibility. i can not talk in a deeply human way, so i prefer to let people see me as a robot who they may assess the words of in a sterile and unemotional way.

i feel like the b9 robot in so many ways.
i like the robot and i always identified with it when i was a child more than i identified with anyone else.

i feel very much like i am b9.

My avatars speak the truth about me. I'm very much like Mick Avory, in looks, personality and morals. In September, I've put my foot down and said, "CockneyRebel, face your reality and live in the real world, for once, in your life. I know you hate the word, reality: but you'll be a much better person, for being honest!" and "What if the Mod thing does work for Shelby?" The reality is, that I'm Mick Avory-like, I'm a Dandy and I like the 60s. A Dandy is a Mod who loves The Kinks, like a Beatle is a Mod who loves The Beatles.

I am unable to assess your words (or anybody's words) in a sterile and unemotional way. After an entire year of reading your posts while looking at your robot avatar, I have anthropomorphized him (it). Instead of seeing you as a robot, I now see that particular robot as you. "Lost In Space" has a cult following so there are posters and statues of it scattered around the enviroment. Before coming to WP, I used to think "that's the robot from "Lost In Space" when I saw it. Now, unintentionally, I think "that's b9 (you, not the Lost In Space character), the poster from Australia who loves animals and says "for chrissakes" when he is annoyed." I know it is absurd to have these thoughts when I see a little windup Lost In Space robot toy in a hobby store, but anthropormization is absurd.

well i do not wish to usurp any bodies impression of the B9 robot.
B9 was in most of the lost in space episodes, and in many of the episodes, i learned from him about the world.
there were stupid writers of various episodes who failed to write good scripts for B9, and i got cranky and i disliked the writers of those episodes because i felt i knew how B9 should be and what he should react like, but i only felt i knew that because in the early black and white episodes, he was what i admired and identified with very much.

yes it is absurd. i also posted on another AS site for 3 years as "xb-70" and i made my youtube page to be the same name.
i also identified with the xb-70 because it was the most impressive plane i believe was ever built, and yet it was almost totally ignored. i felt that i liked the xb-70, and i could see how it was much more capable than mainstream society was interested
in.
i do not feel like i am very impressive, but i so much identified with the exceptional abilities of the xb-70 aircraft, and i was so sad for it that it was overlooked because it was not "cool", that i adopted it as my avatar on the other site.

even now i am sad for the xb-70 because it is dead and gone, and there is a tv series called "x-planes" and it was never even mentioned.
it has the most powerful engines ever made for an airplane and it was 1.5 times the size of the concorde but kids in my class that i showed pictures of it to were not interested in it and i thought "well xb-70, i know you and i like you".
that is also anthropomorphization.
i will reiterate that i do not feel that i am exceptional, but i feel sad for things that are and are ignored by humans that are into mainstream fads.

there it was

It probably says that I long for something.

I'm not really sure why I picked Nova as my avatar.

I just did.

I like the episode "Prototype" from Halo Legends, and the powered exoskeleton that makes up the "prototype". Seeing it lay waste to the Covenant forces is even more awesome than the powered exoskeleton scene from District 9.

That as far as The Kinks are concerned, I've become nostalgic of the Pete Quaife era, since his passing, on June 23rd, 2010. I still identify with Mick, because I see myself in him.

I am obsessed with Mozart; the man, his music and the movie.
