Hi Cockney Rebel :D

Hi Esther: I had Breyer's: http://www.breyerhorses.com/breyer_history

I wish I still had them - I gave them to my cousin - she collected them too and she had a horse. I think it also eased some tension because I wanted a horse so badly and I figured out it wasn't going to happen - I lived through her. One of my faves was a stallion in a pose like your avatar.


I have Breyer's too! I was the spoiled grandchild - my grandparents always got me model horses. I'm saving them for when I have a child.

My mother got me a horse when she saw that I became so obsessed with them that I spent the day either pretending to be a horse, or fixating on them. It definitely has been a long term aspie interest for me.
:D

Whose the figure in your avatar meant to be CyborgUprising? A member of the IRA?

It's just a picture of myself wearing a balaclava (for privacy) and a German Flecktarn camo Flak vest.

I usually don't even look at the name. A picture helps me remember much better.

I can remember people better, the names have a face then, I'm not exactly sure why. Well, I'm not even sure whether I am a visual thinker or not, I tend to do both...

I'm still thinking about an avatar to choose. Maybe I'll end up drawing one myself, maybe not. However, I want to have one until February.

The words we post carry with them a flag for our identity. Some of us don't have much identity, or lack the confidence to share it. That's OK, but it's just as much of a statement as the other way.
