Avatars


No not the blue monsters, and not the sweet benders, but those little pics beside names.  I’m weird, but those avatars are how I picture people.  Not people I know, but people I’ve never met.  Like if I’m on a forum, the appearance of their avatar can dictate their attitudes.  In my mind since I don’t have a real life voice for them, the avatar replaces that.
 
So it always confuses me when I see an avatar changed.  Not only have I associated a person with the picture, but also their attitude.  Now after I read their posts and stuff, that connection fades a bit, but it still exists. 

For forums, I usually pick a funny picture that deals with the topic at hand.  Subtle commentary on what is happening through my pic just in case anybody is paying attention. 

Nothing else to say about this so I’m done.
