So I found the avatar assumptions thread to be really intriguing and I've been thinking it might be interesting to ask: Why DID we choose our avatars and signatures? Is there any significance to it? Is it just something you found funny or cute or amusing? Obviously some didn't think much about it and just sort of chose a random stock image or didn't bother with a signature, I realize, but for those of us who had some meaning or significance in mind - what was it? Would you care to share?
I'll start, I suppose. My current avatar is the Grim Reaper giving a daisy to a little girl in white. I thought it significant because spiritually, that little girl is sooo me. There are many reasons why I identify her, not the least of which being that my most life-changing interactions with spirits have been what most would consider terrifying; I've long since learned that sometimes, in the darkest and most nightmarish of places in the ether, you'll find something downright pure and wise that just happens to be wearing a nightmare-cloak. In some of my hardest times, let's just say things like that have come rising out of the inky dark to give me a daisy and a quiet smile and then take off into the blackness again.
The signature with the Joker quote is kind of just a joke; to me anyway. I find it awesome when the Joker waxes poetic about the value of chaos and insanity; what he says, anyway. Personally I find it very valuable - or at least, an ever-present companion - along the jagged path of the shaman. A touch of what some might call madness is always sort of inevitable.
