Weekly Writer Weekly Writer: Week 15/6 Step 1: Describe yourself. How are you in real life, what is your favorite hobby, and how do you spend your free time? Step 2: Describe yourself in an online sense. How do you present yourself to people, what sites do you go to, and how do you spend your free time in the online world? Avatars are a way for us to express ourselves and our identities, both who we are and what we see ourselves as (or want to present ourselves as). To what extent do you agree or disagree with this? To what degree do you change your avatar to reflect your mood and emotion? Explore the connection between your avatar and your identity. Step 1: I think I'm a fairly nice, honest sort of person. I do get annoyed about stuff, but I'm (usually) not a raving lunatic. I'm sort of spacey and forgetful, which is annoying! My hobbies are sleeping, anime, star wars, reading and friends/cats. Probably the most time in my hobbies are the cel collecting and cosplay aspects of anime (besides the watching of it, but that's sort of a given). I don't buy too many cels anymore but I like to keep up with what's going on just in the event I come into a very large sum of money or someone decides they can part with items for what I can afford. Step 2:In the online world, I'm sort of more of a lurker. I do occasionally get pulled into a discussion or rant, usually more by accident than anything. I think I sound pretty much like me, when I'm online. I've tried not to, on the occasion, to be not me, but it doesn't work at all. I like browsing sites that have something to do with my hobbies. TheForce.net and Anime-Beta.com are daily stops. I also enjoy reading blogs and journals, especially ones that my friends that live far away are on, so I can keep up with what's going on with them. This weird dress-up site with forums is kinda fun too, Gaia? Not many people have heard of it blaugh Avatars can express ourselves or can be something to hide behind. Mine is probably a little of both. I'd much rather be represented by my cute lil' SD chibi than my picture up there! But things like the glasses, or my choice of clothes really do express me at the time I made that avatar. I don't really change my avie to reflect a particular mood. Unless you count boredom. Or holidays. I like to match holidays for whatever bizarre reason. I think that I have more of an actual connection between my user pictures on LiveJournal, those I DO actually take note of how I am feeling, or even what or who I am replying to when I choose one of them for a post or comment. Probably because that picture will be next to that text instead of changing with my next bout of boredom. I would go crazy changing my avatar for each post on Gaia, I bet it would be kind of fun though... xio · Thu Apr 19, 2007 @ 09:43am · 0 Comments
