I was watching an Extra Credits (or is that Creditz with a z? Anyway, you know which show I'm talking about), when suddenly, for a split second, this glorious creature appeared on my computer screen. I decided then and there that I wanted to have him as my avatar.
I later had it explained to me what it was called and what the idea behind it was [http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html], which made it even more awesome... alot more awesome if you will

For those who hate clicking links Thich Quang Duc was a buddhist monk who in protesting mistreat of Buddhists by Vietnam's government preformed a self-immoltion (burned himself alive.
To me it is a showcase of ultimate discipline and sacrifice to protect what you believe in.

It's a cartoon chick (who is supposed to be me) vomiting rainbows. Every avatar I've had since I've joined has had rainbow vomit in it,..because I like it; and I noticed it's not used much around here. I'd like it if the vomit was moving, but it's alright the way it is too. ENJOY!
Edit: I drew this specific one, but the original came from the internet. I just drew it so I could colour it in differently.

My best friend, my sister, and I have always been a bit of a trio, and my friend used to draw each of us with some sort of distinct article of clothing. For me, it was the hat in my photo. The picture itself is cropped from a rather old drawing of hers. She hand-made a hat in that exact design as a gift to me a few years ago and I absolutely love it.
The wampus of course! The living embodiment of a game's spite engine.

Its a Slovakian Air Force MiG-29 with awesome digital camouflage. Why? Because my previous one was a Russian Su-35 with green-brown camouflage (I like Russian jets). Why? Because I had just set up my account and hadn't a clue what to use. It may have been because the first the first thread I participated in was about the US considering scrapping the F-22, but I can't be certain.
I did the Spirit Pokemon thing and got Haunter. He was also the pokemon i used back in the day when Red and Blue were extremely popular. Never traded him to evolve into Gengar, because Haunter was just awesome. First level 100 pokemon too. Sleep, Dream Eater, Thunder Wave and Hyper Beam made my Haunter a beast.
Gundam Unicorn. The camouflaged Neo Zeon remnant "Sleeves" ship Garencieres comes under fire from a Londo Bell Clop class cruiser. Captain Suberoa Zinnerman orders pilot Marida Cruz to launch in the Kshatriya and fend off the three chasing mobile suits. Marida funnelrapes two of Jegans [one of them pictured].
Not much story behind why I got it. Just grabbed it after I wanted something more iconic than my "Attempting to give a shit"-avatar I had before, but it comes from a party when I was 17 years old(22 now). A friend later on decided to photoshop it a bit and that was the result.
