One word!

*MEOW*

Wrong. It's actually Mistmare 1.7

Don't anyone tell you otherwise!

Changed my avatar (wanted something new), doesnt fit my name now though. :/

I'm fan of the Egosoft X-universe games (except the last one, Rebirth), and the always angry Splits have some of the bests ships in the game (the Dragon in X2, the Mamba Raider, the Raptor and the Phytoon in X3R, the Tiger, the Cobra, the Panther and the Raptor in X3TC and X3AP).

Okay, I've found it. The greatest avatar of all time, the symbol of interstellar travel, the very meaning of, life the universe and everything. The question to the answer 42.

*Now I'm not convinced the hitchhikers thumb is the greatest avatar ever so I've gone back evil hawt girl until further notice.

I found my old avatar story in my gmail drafts, so it's possible that I didn't end up posting it. Here's the story:

On top of a small hill in the middle of a forest stood a mighty tree. Thick was its trunk and the leaves of its canopy swayed gently in the breeze.

Once a lumberjack passed through the forest, and saw the tree, and he thought: "if a tree falls in the forest and there's nobody there to hear it, does it make a sound?"

The lumberjack was very taken with the question, and vowed to find the answer. He wasn't sure how, but he knew that the necessary first step would be to make a tree fall in the forest where there's no one there to hear it. That was within his expertise.

He immediately took out his axe and started chopping the tree. He continued to cut much of the way through, until he knew that the tree was about to fall, and would do so in a matter of minutes if left alone. He left it and endeavoured to put as much distance between himself and the tree as quickly as possible.

When he was some distance away, the lumberjack thought he heard a faint sound, so he turned and saw that the tree on the hill had fallen. Disappointed, he went back and picked another tree, this time making sure that it would take more time to fall.

He went away again, occasionally glancing back to see if the tree has fallen, but this second tree wasn't high up enough on the hill, and so after a while was lost to his sight. The lumberjack started wondering if the tree had fallen already or not, and after a few minutes curiosity overcame him and he started going back. After a minute or two he was sure that he had heard the unmistakeable sound of a tree falling, and going back confirmed that the tree was down.

"That would not do," thought the lumberjack. He went home and picked up an explosive charge with a wireless remote control. He went to the forest, found a tree, cut it enough, placed the charge, then walked out of the forest and pressed the detonation button.

He wasn't sure if the remote was out of range, so he went back to check, and found that the tree had fallen. It had fallen out of his hearing range, so the lumberjack was very happy that the first step in his plan was a success. Then he realised that there were also animals in the forest, and they were there to hear the tree fall. "No, there must be no one there!" he thought.

He spent the next several days digging a fire trench around a small copse of trees and cutting down the trees around it to provide a good buffer. Days turned to weeks as he attempted to make sure his chosen trees are protected. Then he set fire to the rest of the forest so that the animals would run away.

The forest fire was all over the news. Trucks and planes tried to put out the fire, but it was days before the firefighters had it under control, and by then there were indeed no animals in the area, nor much in the way of a forest.

The lumberjack waited a couple of weeks longer so that people would forget about the fire and move to other news, and went back. The small copse stood there, his protected trees still alive. He was very happy. He started cutting down a tree, but then he realised something: there was no longer a forest for the tree to fall in.

At which point he was captured by the police and taken to continue his philosophical musing in a cell.

That is the story, and my avatar is the image of the tree on the hill which started this unfortunately chain of events.

I feel so, so...stupid! :-(

His vision is augmented.

New avatar to stop pissing TinyE off... for a while.

That is a lot nicer.

I'm going for TinyE's redneck cousin with this one.

Okay, this is the greatest avatar of all time, I've discovered it this time.

It takes an elite understanding of pop culture to be down with Captain America. I'm tellin' ya, the dude is like, a hero n shit. Took out a plane with just a shield and being badass.

Don't I look pretty today? Yet also badass at the same time.

You are weak, son of El.

Been my avatar everywhere since forever.

One of my favorite games, such a favorite in fact that I have NEVER finished it. I just don't want the journey to end.

The same goes for Battlestar Galactica.

I'm feeling in a Cubist mood today.
