Your Profile Picture

[HappyKoi]

I see all these awesome pictures people on this site have chosen, and sometimes I wonder what the story behind them is.


I chose mine because goldfish and koi are my favorite animals. Whenever I see them, I feel happier. I chose a picture of a lovely fantail goldfish, because they are beautiful, and when I see my profile picture, I feel beautiful, too. Plus the way my picture is positioned makes it look like the goldfish is talking whenever I post a comment, and that makes me laugh a little.

I chose mine, because I love the saying real eyes realize real lies. The pic is my real eye. I also love makeup and stuff like that so its also a representation of that. I love your photo I won a gold fish at a fair when I was a kid and its still living at my great grandmas house.

Mine is because I am a redhead, but also because the character, Ygritte from Game of Thrones, is one of my favorite characters in a show or movie that I have ever seen. She's strong, and while feminine, is certainly not a "girl-girl".

Mine is a picture I took of the fountain at Bonnaroo in 2015. It reminds me of the good times with good friends, listening to good music under the hot sun. I love their motto, "Radiate Positivity".

Mine is just because I wasn't sure what to put for my profile pic, so, really out of desperation, I googled something like 'anxious woman' for inspiration, and the stock photo came up. I quite like melodramatically acted stock photos (attractive women who find salad hilarious seems to be a sub-genre) and the melodramatic pose of this one amused me!

I chose mine because I do not take a lot of pictures. This one was taken 4 years ago on Malta and it was taken by my sister who was visiting me back then. It was near the sea and in the city actually not in some rural place. Malta is rather small in every way. I remember that there was a fisherman near my sister with a bucket full of fish. He looked ridiculous so I kind of laughed but I do not laugh usually. That guy was unreal. Like from a movie or something. He had no shirt of course, he had a big yellow hat, big curly hair and beard. It was all grey because he wasn't young. He also had some Lennon style glasses on him.

I have a spiritual blog (nothing religious, but more practical life musings) and I have several spiritual images I use that invoke hope and positive vibes. This is one of them and also I like the color purple, so ray of light hope with purple to me signifies potential, faith, and also that things can work out.

My profile photo was taken 2 or 3 years ago with webcam toy when I was a redhead. I chose that picture simply because I miss those times. Life was much easier back then and I wish I still was the same person. Sure I've grown up a bit by now, but I would love to have those times back.

My profile Photo is of my lovely dog Loopy loo. She is seven years old now and was born in Egypt. I brought her and my other dog back to the UK with me when I repatriated two years ago. My other dog died last year in December and so now Loopy has a new playmate. I prefer to use my dogs picture as a profile photo and if you look across the net, you will see I always do. I don't have many pictures of myself and don't like to put pictures of myself on the internet. I am a very private person and for some reason, I just don't like people seeing what I look like.

My picture is the real me. Not the present me because it was taken a couple of years ago. Still, the present me is not that much different. My hair is still all white. I still have my beard. And I still use a pair of headphones with a microphone attachment. I took that picture as a reminder of my younger days when I was a radio DJ. No, I don't have any pictures of me when I was a radio DJ. There were no smartphones at that time and we don't take cameras into the sound room. Actually, that picture was just one of a series which I took. I have some of the others on my Facebook wall.

My profile picture is a picture of myself back in 2008. I was at that time, the fittest I have ever been, as my husband and I were doing a lot of hiking back then. We hiked both the Appalachian Trail in 2007 and the Pacific Crest Trail in 2009. Each of these trails are over 2000 miles long. I love this picture and use it often. Lol. I have gained some weight since that time and can't seem to pose for another one that I like as well.

Mine is representing Harley Quinn. I didn't choose it because of the new fad with Suicide Squad, i chose it because I can identify with her sadness. Her character is very intriguing to me, and I've been interested in her character for quite a long time.

O chose this gif because I was randomly browsing through my olde videogame image gallery when I was looking for a suitable profile picture. It's Dr. Citan Uzuki from the videogame Xenogears, although the name and occupation is actually the facade of a special agent assassin from a technologically advanced imperialist nation called Solaris.

My picture is absolutely random, but it just so happens to work pretty well. I guess you can spin anything to make it what you want, but the whole flow of water works well with the anxiety angle because it often does flow and it feels like there is no stopping it. Sometimes we need to be able to shut off that flow and completely stop it, or reduce the flow and let the water trickle. Maybe I am reaching a little bit, but it makes sense to me.

 

[LionTurtle]

Mine is the air elemental lion turtle shown in a past memory on an episode of Legend of Korra.  I really liked the Japanese-inspired artwork on this particular episode, and the way the lion turtle was drawn, compared to the one originally showed on Avatar: The Last Airbender.

I really don't put up profile pictures since I prefer mine to be anonymous, since in real life I don't really like standing out from the crowd, so even here in forums my profile pic remains to be the standard and default one.

At one time, I did use a graphic to be my profile picture. One which I used for quite some time was that of Don Quixote. Later, when I got into writing as a profession, I decided that people who wanted to hire me would very much prefer to see my real face. So I took a series of pictures and finally decided on the one which I use now. It's a bit dated, though. I do not look very much different from it but I will probably take another series of pictures soon and update my profile picture. Here's the image I used before:

 

[WorkAtHomeGal]

Mine is an old and edited picture of myself. That is not the full picture. I think that picture was taken in 2006, so it is quite old. I used some "drawing" editing and it looks a bit sketch like. It is one of my favorite pictures of myself though it is quite old. I don't look much different though.

 

[CT422]

Mine is a picture from around three years ago. I got bored waiting for my ride home from work and decided to take a quick selfie. What surprised me is that I actually like the picture, so t was my Facebook profile pic for a while. 

 

[DylanRowan]

I....uh... like anime? Well, mine is from a character from Love Live. Not sure why I chose her as my profile picture. I liked the fan art since I was looking for something Christmas related. So, I really liked this picture, and such is the reason why  I decided to stick with it.
