Practicality- it is my face. Spiritually and philosophically? Ha. People think about this too much. Why hide behind some picture? I like to let words speak for themselves.

How ironic.

As for mine, because Jean Grey is the Ni-Fe bomb.

"Death" from Gaiman's "Sandman" series.

  • I share some personality attributes with her (big picture/sees everything, social sensitivity, able to leap into other worldviews easily and make ideas relevant, pleasant/kind, realistic even while idealistic, etc.)
  • Death is a universal symbol of transformation and/or letting go -- some of my life themes.
  • I picked a "quirky" version of Death because I have a wry sense of humor.
  • I love the series, it's been influential in my own psychological growth.

A phylactery is an ancient orthodox Jewish tradition, actually. It's the word of God worn in a small box strapped to the forehead.

No, no, Pink -- I'm quite sure TSR's "Tomb of Horrors" came first.

Had I been born jewish I think it's very likely I would have become a rabbi.

Seems like a lot of ceremony and not a lot of theology.

I'll even let you pull my curl....(only the one on the left, tho)

What a tremendous offer! I accept! :D



Also, I'd dig Doc's NTP behind up and marry him. Perfect man? Possibly. And dead already, just the way I like it. *laughs*

To proffer a fruit (see it to the left?) is one of the oldest archetypes of seduction, so I guess I'm trying to seduce people with my avatar. That's very spiritual and philosophical, isn't it? Channeling the great philosophers even more, I would point to how the depicted person is divided into three parts and yet remains whole. The first frame depicts a hand and arm, which represents the self that we strive toward: our ideal self. The second frame is the center-most and clearest: the self we think we are: our true self, and the one we're most in touch with. The final frame depicts the very edge of the person: his face, his persona: the self that exists in the eyes of society. Taken together, these are the selves that make the self.

Or...you're trying to excuse your Jap anime nerdtastic self with a plethora of words (ref: see above)

Doesn't it remind you of a cute little piggy's tail?

Actually it's hand-drawn artwork of a video game character. Nevertheless, there may be a small--a very small--grain of truth in your accusation.

Accusation? Admiration more like it...did you miss my adjective - nerdTASTIC?

Yes, but it's not my artwork; it was drawn by Tetsuya Nomura, modified by someone for a wallpaper website, and finally shrunken down to avatar size by me.

STOP GIVING ME WORDS I DO NOT KNOW!!!
actually, 'tis fun. What's that mean?
EDIT: I just got over my laziness and googled it. One word: OUCH!

It's not a bad job, really, regardless of how you slice it -- you meet nice people, you play with kids, and you get lots of tips.

If those kids could talk, I think they'd use another verb other than 'play'....
