Your Avatar...
What does your Avatar mean or represent? And where did you get it?
I was on a site that had Tolkien coats of arms and symbols etc. The one I have now is Finrod's Blazon. The harp and the Torch.

The site with Tolkien heraldry and blazons is
http://www.forodrim.org/gobennas/her...y/heraldry.htm Many characters and countries can be found there but to use it for an Avatar you'll have to shrink it a bit and lose some of the quality. Oh well.

well at the moment mine's Galadriel (supposedly) doing her weird freak out "i have passed the test" thing.I found it on this site. thought it was cool, put it up, liked it and left it.no particular reason. it changes a lot though so people will probably get really confused if they read this post in the future

I adore cats, particularly Siamese cats. There is also something
vaguely reminescent about staring at a fishbowl. ( Looking at a monitor, perhaps? )

I love Bridget Jones' Diary and drinking (although I don't drink that much, only at parties).
Duh

Mine is subject to change. At the moment it's a sheep. Yeah, a sheep. That's right. I chose the ONE thing that would represent total individuality. What? No.... I'm not a follower. Baaaaa.

*shrugs* I'm galadriel. My avatar is Galadriel. Go figure. Although I did choose a picture of her that was original art, not a picture from the movie, because I don't like over - commercialization. Call me weird, I love the movie, I just think that alot of merchandise and stuff based on the movie kinda makes the books lose their originality and uniqueness.

My current avatar is pretty much tied to my name. Eärniel is seachild according to my poor translationskills. Fence a sea-avatar. It changes from time to time. Gotta keep up the 'everchanging as the sea'!

i like computer games,
and i throught that this would be quite an impressive avater (part transparent) so it works on any background. i made it, and its there to promote my site of free avatars, and my services for making custom ones for people. andy

i didn't have one until recently (a few weeks ago), but mine is basically because I am known to various of my friends as Galadriel (supposedly i look like a young Galadriel - go figure), and when i got it i was totally in love with Elijah Wood (again, go figure ), so it made sense to get one with both Galadriel and Frodo, with the LotR logo.
i hope that made sense. it probably didn't, like the rest of my ramblings.

I got my avatar from the first free-avatar-site I saw from a google-search. It's been hopping next to my posts ever since. BTW, I do like E XK's avatar because it looks like every other thumb. But I think the drunk one's my favorite.

My avatar is of one of the Nazgûl. Does anyone know where I can find a better avatar of a Nazgûl? I've looked but I can't seem to find any. Any help is appreciated.
