How You Chose Your Pic/Avatar?

[jw24]

I started a thread about how people came up with your usernames and I love and appreciate all the responses. If you haven't shared your username story, feel free to post in the link below:

Anyway, I'm going to ask the same question but this time, I want to know how you chose your profile pic/avatar. If you don't have one, I will hold no hard feelings towards you! It's not a mandate to have an avatar or anything like that but I would think most of us have one for various reasons.

Having said that, you'll notice my avatar is a screencap from Hunchback of Notre Dame with Quasimodo looking out behind the columns in the Bell Tower during the Out There sequence. I chose that one because on another Disney forum, I used that avatar in the past. I actually found a screencap using Fanpop but why I chose that pic originally for that forum was that I love Quasimodo and Out There is my all-time favorite song. I was browsing through the screencaps and I thought that cap was really moving. Looking out there between the columns with the sunlight beaming down. It really shows how much he wants to leave the bell tower.

So what's your story?

Mine just cracks me up. Only reason.
I had one that flashes back and forth between two pictures and the next pic says "Don't let's be silly!" but those types of avatars don't work here (I don't think anyways) so I just went with the "Mustard?" pic.

I never buy souvenirs. My wife insisted that I buy the Mickey Red Sox pin several years back. I went with the Red Sox theme name in registering on the forum, so the pin seemed like a good match. It's a shame that I'm a life-long Yankees fan. Doesn't make much sense when I think of it.

Just one of my favorite pictures of the kid from the 2011 trip.

I change mine often, but right now it's a picture I took of the area where we rented in Kissimmee last winter. Love me some palm trees!

My username is PUSH, so I thought having a picture of PUSH would be fitting.

For a while, my avatar was a Jedi Mickey to fit my Avatar. Then I changed it to my cat because I love her and she's adorable. Then I graduated from high school. I was trying to put a cap on the cat but had no success, so I found this cat online. I'll probably change it back to my cat in September.

I worked in attractions in Fantasyland at Disneyland. Since then, DL's Fantasyland has become very, very, VERY special to me. I have a deep connection with it, now. I operated almost every attraction, including Sleeping Beauty Castle. I found a picture that embodied pretty much all of Fantasyland (my avatar) and instantly fell in love. I'm planning on blowing the image up and turning it into a poster.

I chose mine because I look like Esmeralda. XD
She's a strong, sexy female lead. She's an inspiration to me. <3
Only Indian(asian) gal Disney has. And by far one of the best.

I'm either dressing up as a fairy or Esmeralda when I go to Disney World in october, because I know I'd get tons of compliments especially if I dressed as her. Pretty much Jasmine and Esmeralda are my disney look alikes. People keep telling me I should audition to be Jasmine, but I look more like Esmeralda. I guess Esmeralda isn't as well known. Which is terrible. =/

Used to take bellydance too. She's my disney twin. ^_^

Because I thought that the alternative wouldn't come across as well shrunk down to avatar size:

Very cool.
What are the top middle and the bottom left supposed to be? I get all the others, but can't figure out those two.

Is the bottom left Asterix and Obelix?

The top middle is a belgian comic, Lucky Luke and the Daltons

The bottom left is a french comic, Asterix and Obelix (Asterix is the guy with the wings on his helmet).

Ding ding ding. You win...nothing...but you WIN!

And once again French classes have helped me in life.

I grew up reading those two, as well as Tintin. I still have the books, some in english, some in german.

Hah, never heard of it! I will check it out (though, my french is terrible...need to try and find a subtitled version). I was EXTREMELY excited about the Spielberg Tintin film...but was disappointed by it. I'll stick with the comics / cartoons.

I just realized that the picture I posted is in Spanish, but it's a French film. And I never saw Tintin, thought it looked cheesy.
