Avatars Are Always Around

I see plenty of Avatar pictures that are funny, quirky, mystical and everything in between. You don't have to answer this, but I'm wondering why you chose that picture?

I'll start off: I chose my avatar picture of keys because I enjoy locking things. Mainly to keep my 2 young brothers away from them. It also has an old, rugged look about it.

Mi foto de Avatar es acerca de las claves. Esto es porque me gusta usar las cerraduras. Principalmente para mantener a mis 2 hermanitos lejos. La imagen también se ve viejo y agradable.

Gracias

I chose lilies because of mine name; Ljiljana = lily (latin-> lilium) and it's my favorite flower.

Escogí lirios (o azucenas, no estoy segura como se dice en español) porque mi nombre es Ljiljana =lirio, azucena; también, lirio es mi flor favorita.

Escogí mi foto porque mi gato tiene mucho carácter. Me dio risa cuando él trató de esconder en una bolsa de plástico transparente.

I chose my photo because my cat has a lot of character. It gave me a laugh when he tried to hide in a clear plastic bag.

My avatar is a picture of myself and one of my good friends at an Alice In Wonderland-themed work party for my old job. I was Tweedle Dee and another one of my coworkers was Tweedle Dum, it was very fun. =]

I love impressionist paintings but I especially love Claude Monet's paintings of water lilies.

Me gusta mucho las pinturas impresionistas pero, especialmente me encanta las pinturas de los nenúfares de Claude Monet.

I like the role reversal aspect of mine, and rooting for the under dog. Pictures get kind of squished when uploaded to the avatar.

En mío, a mí me gusta el aspecto de la inversión de papeles, y animando a los desvalidos.
Las fotos se ponen aplastada al cargar al Avatar.

Taking a nap on my dinghy is the most relaxing thing in the world. So it was the perfect picture to express who I am.

Tomando una siesta en mi launcha es la cosa más relajante en el mundo. Pues fue la foto perfecta para expresar quien soy yo.
