How often do you guys change avy's?

Postby mizuhara_fan » Sun May 08, 2005 10:12 am

A trivial question yes, but sometimes a curious one. :)

I change mine pretty frequently (in the case of every other week). Almost no one can recognize me since I never keep the same avatar longer than that time. Though since I'm stuck with my screen name, every avatar is going to have Yomi, which sort of narrows down a lot of my choices. :P

EDIT: I think this one's a keeper. Might as well make this my long-term ava from here on end. :)

Whenever it suits me, or whenever I experience a drastic life-altering event (such as was the case with my crying Sana av).

Of course, from your screen name...you COULD put pictures of Makoto Mizuhara from El-Hazard, it would fit. :P

Ha, that's true and they would match my own gender too! Too bad I haven't seen El-Hazard yet (the "fan" part has got to work :) )

So far I've only had 2 avatars here on CAA- both of Onizuka. The first one I had for about a month, and what I have now has been used for about 90% of my time here.

I don't plan on changing it just yet, but if I do I would probably use Ippo from Fighting Spirit (Hajime no Ippo).

I change my avatar every month now. By change, I mean I make a new versian of Christopher Wordsworth. When I first came I had a weird little guy with an axe, but I changed that after two months, and have had wordsworth ever since.

Trivia Question!
Who is Christopher Wordsworth, and why do I have him as my avatar?

Excluding file difficulties and an original image quality improvement, I do not change my avatar. It doesn't strike me as a very important detail.

Never. In fact, this is my Avvy wherever I go. I had considered temporarily changing it when Pope John Paul II died (as a tribute), but had so many problems with finding a decent picture to convert, that I eventually gave up and left it.

In the time that I have been here, I have never changed my avatar. There is really no reason to do so, since I am satisfied with the one that I have and changing it might cause confusion.

Been here for...just as long as Volt (19 months-ish) now. I haven't changed my av a single time. I did consider maybe something festive around Christmas time, but I don't have photoshop (I would've just tinkered with my current av anyway). I don't honestly think that I'll change my av...but I suppose I could be persuaded...
Our lives are but a vapor, let us not let waste our time and breath on vanities, but let us spend ourselves for the Kingdom, seeking a better resurrection.

To my knowledge I have only had 2 different avatars since coming to CAA. The first I kept for about 6 months. My current one has been up ever since.

<-- I just changed mine for the fourth time on CAA. ^_____^

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

Hmm...generally I change mine when something in my life happens...

And sometimes I think of changing avatars like shopping for new clothes or dressing up paper dolls.

......

There is a danger in sharing too much with strangers.
