OK, I wondered about this for a while.

When I started this game, I arrived here to play a game. Picking some random avatar, even one that is male (while as most of you know IRL I am a female), was not something I even thought about.

Now, as I am in this place for the community, and the game almost becoming secondary. I feel carrying the avatar that I do is almost strange.

Even more so, meeting my first sleuths in real life, and now knowing 100% sure, that they will remain real life friends. Carrying this strange guy (though a friend of Ben and Sunny's) as an avatar seems even weirder.

Anyone experiencing the same feelings?
Does anyone have an opinion about using your real picture as an avatar, or purposely not using your real picture?

After a lot of thinking, I sent Ben a pix of myself today. If Ben can give me sex change, I should sport myself as an avatar. :)

I am hoping others will join me. But this is obviously a personal choice.

jstkdn, it's actually very odd for me to associate your avatar with you because it's obviously a picture of a rl friend of mine and i know what you look like in rl!

Yeah you once told me that before. It must be strange to see pictures of your friends around you....and above all have a loud dutchie going around looking like your friend. :)

I still have a secret crush on my avatar, and I am sorry to let him go. <pout>

caitey, I thought the det Fresh picture, was actually her sister? Or am I confusing her with someone else.

perhaps we could switch genders Jstkdn. I will submit tomorrow probably if we are allowed to switch genders as irl I am male, as you know but many may not.

Ohhhh and I LOVE to see my picture used in a case... specially if I'm proved to be the guilty party,,, and even more especially when I solve it!!!

Yeah.......you were the killer, and didn't even know it. :)

I am pretty excited that hopefully if Ben can give us a sex change, I get to see what calalta looks like. Cuz calalta rules and all!!!

yes well thank you Jstkdn, but that will remain to be seen I think. I am not sure if the straight up gender swap is easier for ben or more work though, but the numbers of each will remain the same.

Jstkdn, it is Fresh's sister, but a big part of her is her family and I've spoken to her sister on more than one occasion (usually in emoticons:))! It says a lot that she would use a pic of her sister rather than her. And it's a very cool picture.
