Show your face already!

I don't think people choose fantasy avatars to hide their faces, nor do I think they do it because they are ashamed of themselves. Avatars are a good way to show your interests and sense of humor to the world. In turn, they also help you identify other netizens of like interests. (Making friends? In MY interwebs!?)
For example, I chose this avatar because a) I think it's neat looking, and b) I think the King in Yellow is a pretty cool guy (and eh doesn't afraid of anything, etc). That'll probably tell you much more about me than a picture of my face.
EDIT: Grilled Cheesus beat me to the punch about what I was trying to say. I concede defeat, good sir or madam.

I have a different picture because I like the picture and it's faster than finding the camera (that's in storage or something) finding the USB cable for it, getting a good photo of me and then getting it on the computer and fixing the size (so it's an even square) and then selecting it =)
Well, my pic is of me. I don't like hiding behind avatars anymore. (not that it's wrong to do that)
For proof, here is the video my friend Alex and I did last year for the Escapist Film Fest.

I just noticed that my hair looks really short, but actually it's still chin-length. I just tied it together to a ponytail.
You can find a few older pics of me over here. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.163217-Behind-the-avatar?page=10#4218696]
My avatar features a quote by my ex-boyfriend-but-still-best-friend-I've-ever-had. He was Let's Playing Alan Wake and it's a pretty famous quote among his fanbase.
B-e-a-utiful.
OT: Here are a couple of me

. There aren't many better things to see before having to turn your PC off for 2 days. And quoting me means your face is also the first thing I saw AFTER.
