Title: Changing Avatars...Why do I do it?
Post by: Chrissty on February 14, 2009, 07:46:32 AM
I know there have been some discussions on avatars on a couple of threads recently, and it got me thinking about why I keep changing mine so much.

Firstly I hope it is not too annoying to you all, but I have come to realise that it is my way of expressing how I feel, a bit like an over-sized emoticon. I don't want to post loads of pictures in the gallery and clog up the system, and I sort of like the idea that all my posts get linked to the way I feel now. ;)

I also suppose it is brought about by my frustration with living in stealth, so I guess you will all know I have finally decided to commit to transition when my avatar "stops" changing..... ;D

Now to you girls and guys that keep changing your account names ...

.....that really confuses the hell out of me...  ::)

Well Chrissty, if it matters at all, what I saw was you evolving.  I did the same earlier and still do it, just not as much.  To me, it's a natural part of transitioning. 

There's a saying, "Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve."  Maybe you seeing your evolution is helping you to believe what you want to achieve.  ;D

Personally, I think it is to make some of us jealous.  :icon_bunch:   You coming into your own and soon you will settle on one that will mean you are out of your stealth mode.

You look great now, I can only imagine how your going to look if you start HRT. I kinda like the different avatars.

Well thanks girls,

I'll take that as an "OK" to keep changing them,...at least for now.... ;D

...and BTW...I'm the jealous one, as you have all moved on from this rut I'm in...

I change my avatar because it's fun. It does reflect my mood sometimes but not always. I guess I like to keep em guessing

I fear change.  It's almost never good.  So I never change, I've used that one for over 8 years now, and I use it everywhere I post, so... Change bad.

Hi All...

..I'm having a really sh**t week at the moment, so finding you all on this topic lifted my spirits somewhat..

Thank you Nicole and Cindy for your compliments... :icon_bunch:

Pica...you keep makin' me smile... :icon_joy:

Telka...You surprise me, I would have thought you lived for change in the events and concert business...but I guess I know what you mean..... I love workin' at small analogue systems to get the best out of them, but found the larger systems I worked on more logistical than emotional.... ;)

..and Aiden...great to see a new convert join the pic-swappin team.. ;D

:icon_hug:

Hi Chrissty  I was attempting to change mine when I come upon this post, and I had the dickens trying to figure out why the settings kept yappin at me about error, error, reminded me of the robot in Lost In Space. Anyway I gave up and when I got back to this thread, "Lo and Behold!"  There's me and Wing Walker in my avatar. I guess the robot lied. Liar liar light your pants on fire. "Hee, hee, hee." I pray that cheered you up some.  ;D

i just got a whole year's worth of fotos from a friend, she was the photographer on all our trips and outings. I was going to keep changing them, but I like this one because she caught me unaware. It's a real moment.
