I have seen soooooo many different signatures... i am interested in why you chose to have them? And why some are so lengthy?


I chose mine because i am fully love philosphy and everyone is crazy in their own way. Me, i over analyze to the point that everything seems without a meaning. So many a time i lose interest or joy in something because i look at it too much. IE dancing. I love it but sometimes i ruin it for myself. When i cry ... i think to hard on my " oh it is hormons, oh it is last tests problems, oh i am not stressed i am a baby".So when i am really in pain i cant let myself cry without personal guilt trips. SO everyone is crazy in their own way. But those who analyze their craziness is considered " Oh i know what is really going on..." :brow: and i think that is crap so it is more of a mockery on how the world thinks they are so smart but in reality they are diluting themselves. :thumb:

Well, I chose my avatar because I drew it. (lol) I like to draw myself as chibis quite frequently and the majority of the time I have fox ears. The last chibi I drew I was sad about school. so this time I decided to draw myself happy and adjusting to the life as a senior..

My avatar is based on my name. Yokuo is a take of Yoko, from Yu Yu Hakusho, and the avatar.. well, lol.

The sig... the poem was written for me by someone on another forum. Kenshin taking over... well, I started that one, so I had to use it XD. And I did the % thing cuz I wanted.

I chose my avatar because I think Strong Sad as a corporate logo is hilarious.

My signature is a funny Spoonerism. Although my sig is looking decidedly empty at the moment...

I've had my avatar since before I joined CAA (I needed something under 100x100 pixels on ANN and this was the only one I could find). I kept it for consistancy here... but I dropped out elsewhere so that was pointless

I don't have a sig because I find long ones annoying to scrolll through on long threads. "Do onto others as..."

My avatar? I'm a huge fan of Tintin (the boy reporter in comics).
My signature? I wanted to parody the 98% of all teens have smoked or do smoke pot... thing because it was so ridiculously stupid. I did that twice.

And I chose the C.S Lewis quote because it really reminds me that we live in a world with Satan as our king, but Jesus is the rightful King and will come one day to reclaim it. In the meantime we are to tell others about Jesus and help others (therefore 'saboutaging' the enemy's work). Also that quote provided inspiration for part of the novel I'm writing. So its fairly significant.

And lastly I have a few projects in development that I'm working on.

My avatar I randomly decided on because I thought it was sickeningly cute. ^^ It's Lyserg from Shaman King, and I love him much. Not as much as Kantaro, though.

My sig is my favorite verse from Kantaro's image song, Kono Sekai no Katasumi De (In This Corner of the World). The lyrics are really pretty, and I love the song. ^_^ It's so soothing.

well, let's see. A chose my avatar cause I adore Bakura. And it seems to reflect me a bit as well, I always seem to be wondering about something...and the little bandage on his hair...well..I also am a klutz so I get hurt quite a bit *but nothing major*

The cuteness of Bakura is one of my fave Bakura pics but I figured attaching a link instead of showing the actual pic would look better. The angel one is also a pic. My art page links to my deviant art page *I love drawing*, and I want people to read my xanga page if they are interested. The verse..well...it basically speaks for itself. I definitely go to God for help. and the song quote is from my fave Christain song. ^_^

I chose my avatar because Christopher Wordsworth is an ugly grummpy looking old man.

I chose my sig because I like Gilbert and Sullivan, and I want people to enter Olorcs coloring contest (though it isnt in the art corner any more. Hey, I am just too lazy to change it. The final quote in it is very obviously stupid, and I felt compelled to put it in.

My current sig:

The first part of my signature is Japanese which says "The grass is always greener on the other side." 'tonari no shibafu wa aoi.'

The second and third parts are self exclamatory.

The fourth is a link to YesJapan.com which everybody needs to click. ;)

Dual! is my third favorite anime following Silent Mobius and Inuyasha. :thumb:
Mitsuki Sanada and Mitsuki Rara are my third and fourth favorite
female characters following Yuki Saiko and Kagome. :angel:
Of the two Mistuki Sanada is more my favorite which is why my avvie is of her.
The one sig I chose because it shows all four Dual! girls together,Mitsuki S.,
Mituski R.,D and Yayoi staring at a rather confused Kazuki. :lol:

My avatar is a scan of my favorite production cel from G Gundam that is now hanging on my wall. (That shot is from a marvelous climactic moment at the very end of the series ... mech just don't get much better than that! ;))

And I guess I should get creative and think up something to put at the bottom of my box here! The possibilities are endless, but I don't know what to stick down there in my sig box ... maybe a bunny or something! :P

(Ha! I guess the sig area rats you out if you misspell something and go back to edit yourself! So I guess my sig box is "Last edited by GundamGeek"! :lol: )

My av keeps changing, but as for my sig...it's a quote from Neil Gaiman that expresses my own feelings on my own art in far better wordage than I could come up with. Curse of the Artist I did come up with. A link to my deviant ART site because I am a shameless advertiser. And "pump pock" just because.

Mine is...actually I forget what it is and have to constantly post somewhere to remind me of what I have....

Alright I posted and I have the arm dude with the cuffs.
Why did I choose that? No clue, but looks cool dont it?

My sig though, I try to have at least *some* chaos in the design...so I copied some sigs and posted a quote from the CAA chat room ^^;;

Well, I believe I've already rambled about my avatar in the past.

As for my sig, the links and the adoption are pretty straightforward-ish. I included the quote because Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is pretty much my favorite book ever, and alas, my favorite section with the prehistoric chesterfield was too long. So I opted for the flying quote instead because it made me gigglesnort, and it was a nicer length.

My avatar usually changes to fit my current anime fix or Video game fix. Right now its an AC from one of my favorite video games Armored Core.

The first quote in my sig is a taunt from Unreal and is my favorite. The second is my favorite quote from the force commander in Warhammer 40000 Dawn of War. The third is my title acording to AngelSakura. And Finally the last one is a post by Ashley (duh) which I thought was great.

So there you have it.

Avatar: Alice Cooper's "From the Inside" cover. Alice is awesome (and saved now) and that album and cover are personal favorites. It may get changed soon though, since it's been the same for a while now.
Av sig. Leader Of Da Old School, a reflection of my love of old games, movies, and TV shows, and a poke at the Lodoss War stuff.

My signature is two quotes that I like and a link to one of my favourite threads. Simple as that. :grin:
