OK, I Finally Did It

[rowyn]

But I'm not especially proud of it. I now have ten little pictures of ... well, me, to choose from when posting.

I still think I'd rather have littler drawings of an avatar, though. I just can't decide, y'know ... what avatar. My muse idea sort of fell through when I finally figured out what my muse looks like. He's male. It might confuse people if I used his picture.

To those of you who liked my former heavy reliance on a single image, I offer my condolences.

I'm considering changing some of these over to different little pictures of me. Any votes on which I should ditch first, or any other commentary, I'd be happy to hear it. :)

since I'm not wearing glasses, I don't really think of it as "me"

With glasses or without, in makeup, in an evening gown, or in the MouseWoman costume, it's all you, Rowyn. I just think of these as different facets of the same personality. Rather like the "Jedi" and "Matrix" sides of Kage that come out from time to time. It's all part of the same package. :-)

(Incidentally, I like my own image better without glasses...but not enough to get contacts or have laser eye surgery done. Too much money, too much hassle.)

Mmm. Yes, I know you're right. I think part of it is that, if I'm going to use pictures of myself, I want them to look mostly the way I do every day. The "content" picture may be "me", but I think it gives the wrong idea about how I really look on a typical day. I wouldn't want someone I'd met on LJ to meet me in person and think "Huh, she doesn't look much like her picture." Or, at the very least, not think "She doesn't look as good as her picture." >:)
