I drew this over the course of about 6 months, tho it only took me a total of maybe 5ish hours to do.
:)

Wow!
You need a life!

(just kidding. That's awesome!)

How do you fight a bully that can un-make history?

I call it a "whiteout"
its a picture of me that I edited. :)

I'd like to hear my options, so I could weigh them, what do you say?
Five pounds?  Six pounds? Seven pounds?

Looks like you've been sucked into the music video for Take On Me.

My Google avatar is a still from his performance of "A You're Adorable" -- where he's on the Enterprise D bridge, alone, singing unaccompanied.

Switching it up a little bit.

I Twitter. I also occasionally blog on the Escape Pod blog, which if you're here you shouldn't have much trouble finding.

I would have a story behind my avatar, but the forum system won't let me load one.

So, sadly, no tale.

I read, therefore I am...happy.

You can't upload one for some reason, it hasn't worked in forever (did it ever work? i forget...)
anyways you have to host it somewhere online.  you can use photobucket or picasa or whatever.

It worked when I first joined.  My first Eeyore was uploaded.

Worked when I was a newbie as well. DOsn't anymore. I photobucket all my avatars now

It's a photo I took of one of my rifles.  I suppose there isn't much creativity to it, but I'm a big fan of responsible gun ownership and I'm interested in target shooting.  I detest the term gun-nut because firearms ownership is so much more than that.  It's a right and a responsibility all rolled into one.

Plus it keeps the King of England out of us US citizen's faces!

To be honest, being dead does that more ;) Also, hypothetically, do you think one small arm weapon could hold off the British army if you had to do it by yourself? ;)

Anywho, as for my avatar, he's a cutie little Hydralisk I found on Deviant Art, I think.

Maybe I should have used this one instead....

Elaboration: my Captain Picard Face is from the sixth-season episode Timescape. It's when they're on the shuttle, coming back from the conference, and Picard is making fun of a professor with a very dry, boring delivery.

How about the Picard face from when he came fresh from the holodeck and nailed the alien welcome? Now which was that??

Holodeck. Early.  Must be a Dixon Hill story.
