So... explain your avatar.

You know, why you have it, why it isn't something else, etc.

Mine originated for the RPG... my character killed a raccoon... and killed it again... Yeah.

It was August 1, 2009. I woke up with an ambitious attitude. I gazed at my old avatar and looked puzzled at it. So i grabbed a camera to quickly snap a pic of the sexy beast I am. However, the light radiating through the backyard window was unpleasant; harsh, and unpleasant as the afternoon drew near. So I sat. I sat waiting for the perfect balance of sunlight and shadow as the the sun loomed over the blue sky. My parents sat dazed at the sight of their son sitting with camera in hand, a fiery passion in his eyes in an eerie stillness. Five O'clock drew near and my opportunity quickly came. The sun bounced of the walls with enough radiance to create a beautiful effect. I snapped the picture with no time to spare. As I glanced towards the small camera screen, my face trembled; I had the flash on. So I said "Fuck it" and took a quick pic and created the same sun-embellished effect in Adobe Photoshop.

After buying Fallout 3 at the game shop at Citywalk, after curfew, mind you, I went back to my friend's house ( I was spending the weekend over.) and played Fallout for about 18 hours straight before needing to take a ten minute nap, waking up long after, maybe 2 hours, Gabriel and his dad Sal had left for their church stuff.. I was wandering the Capital Wastelands soon after, and as I headed for the Metro railway, soon noticed Yogi and Boo-Boo... snacking not on picnic lunches, but on the corpse of a particularly dead Super Mutant Brute. As I approached, a mere level 3, I fired upon the great bears with my hunting rifle, and promptly had my left leg swiped off and my movement speed cut, not to mention my health.. As I ran, the beast proceeded to cut me down and feast on my remains. Yao-Guai means literally "demon" in chinese. And these demons are FAST.

I dubbed this year's summer "A Rocket Summer" for some strange reason (not knowing that it was also the same name as a local indie rock band, mind you) and decided to put my epic pivot skills to the test once more.

AKA I was bored and wanted a new avy.

Oh yay~
I was looking forward to Mario's explanation
[although only a little disappointed].

my avatar is actually a picture of me doing my day job
my new signature actually is my own design
my old one was sadly deleted by them man

ae86 panda what else is there to explain
