Okay, so I've been away for awhile *cough* like a year *cough* And I'm not recognizing a lot of avatars. So what have you got? And how often do you change it?

For those of you who don't know me, mine is from the best movie ever made The Best Years of Our Lives And I never really intend to change it. :)

its David Archuleta from this season of American Idol. the quote comes from this video where he was talking about how his mom wears fake diamonds, which i found amusing so i made made Lynn make an avatar for me about it :) plus i got tired of my old "keepin' it gangsta" one.

ill probably change it again soon because this ones getting old now too : o i guess ill have to make a new one make Lynn make me a new one. i usually change mine like every month or 2. ive had this one for about a month i think.

First of all, I love your avatair: The Best Years of Our Lives is one of my all-time favorites, and one of only about the dozen DVD's I own.

As for my avatar: I am a big fan of 50's and 60's rock/pop/Top 40--in particular so-called British Invasion. The Troggs are a British group, who wrote/performed 'Wild Thing', 'Love is All Around', 'A Girl Like You' and a few other hits. I like their sound.

As for Avatars in general, I keep them up for a pretty long time--until I want to try something else. I'm staying with this one for now and will probably change it in a few months.

Jack has to give up women and Chrissy has to give up food except for water. I loved Jack's facial reaction in my pic. It's from when he tempts Chrissy with barbecue chicken, but it backfires and he starts thinking of women. "It's just a stupid bird, Chrissy. With legs...long beautiful legs and breasts..." :lol:
