Hi guys! A while ago we did a thread where anyone interested in participating told the story of their user names here. How they came up with them and what they mean. It was fun! And very informative. I felt like I knew everyone a bit better.

So I'd want to try it with avatars: How did you come up with yours? What does it mean to you?

I love hearing people tell stories about their lives and things with special meanings. And since it's only fair, I'll start.

The semi-colon represents choices you've made in how you look at your life. Check it out at www.projectsemicolon.com or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Semicolon

Your turn! Spill it if you're up to it and explain your avatar choice; it will be fun to know more about each other and what those pictures really mean.

There's a woman (73 years old) at my mom's CCRC who has a semicolon tattoo. She's my hero. :)

My avatar is the artwork from my favorite Magic card - Jinxed Choker. Mirrodin was the first set to have selective foiling for their foil cards, and the foil of Jinxed Choker was just so freaking pretty as the choker was super foily and shiny. It was also considered a crap card when it first came out, so by the end of the prerelease (that I was working), I had a foil set (four of them) because my player friends knew that I loved it. :)

Yes, I'm a geek.

I got an error when posting this, hence the deleted post, since it ended up posting twice.

Thanks Gwen. I've always wondered about yours but kept forgetting to ask you. It's a compelling picture for sure. I also know absolutely nothing about Magic but I think I'm finally going to have to look it up, to keep up with everyone's references to it!
