I still don't look like my av, but I have started changing it more often. Now that I've been here a while, I can stop really associating the *specific* av of someone w/ that person, and can just kinda go by style. You get what I mean?
*taps chin* you know what I realized? I've *never* had an avatar that even remotely relates to my screenname. How very odd...

I ALWAYS associate people with their avatars. I don't know why. And I do use them as sort of a personality thing. I get so confuzzled when people change theirs!
My pet peeve is when someone posts about their avatar and then changes it, it's like, "I want to see it!"

I just realized something today. I think I'm more like Taiki than I am like Yaten (that is, of the anime characters I know of, I think I act most like Taiki, especially of the Sailor Moon ones) and so my avatar does fit even though I don't look a thing like Taiki.

Sylph and I don't look anything alike. The personality similarities make up for it. XD

I've always wondered why no one here uses a real life pic as their avatar, actually. Why is that? Is there a rule or something? Many forums I've been to, a lot of people have their RL pic. Yet SMU it seems like no one at all does. x_X

...oh, and Dan IS a taco in real life.

Yep, and like the taco in my avie, I crap ice cream too. XD

I don't because I'm not comfortable with posting my real picture on the Internet. It's not that I think I'm ugly or anything, it's more that I don't feel safe doing so. Also, I like seeing Taiki's head everytime I make a post.

o rly?

I thought that was the South Park one... your current one is the American Dad taco.

I swear, everything is taco propaganda these days. Even ATHF had taco references.

Oh crap, I forgot I changed it to the American Dad one. ^^;;;;

And yes, everything is taco propaganda nowadays. Damn everyone from indirectly advertising where I work. >.<

I don't look like The King, but sometimes I act like him.

I think most of us don't use RL pix because it's the internet and it's supposed to be fun and games.

I don't care for tacos, though.

There.

Now somebody on this forum actually looks like they do in real life. =P

Just to clarify, I'm not really furry and small enough to get stuck in a boot.

*points to avatar* Um.....yah. I'm too lazy to resize the size of my avatars to put here, so I just take what I'm given from contests. XD

'Cause I AM Musashi!

Errr...

Simple.
My pictures are too sexy to use as avatars. ^_~

... A-anou...

I used a real-life pic of Scary the cat, though.

'Sides, I just like making avatars with Musashi/other members of the Roketto-dan. xD
Fine! I'm going to use a picture of... random cats!

I must admit I haven't actually read the whole five pages of posts.

But I just wanted to say I do that a lot...That is... associete the avatar with the person. That is why it's weierd for me to see people change avatars. And I often somehow think people look like their avatars

But I guess each person picks an avatar that in someway represents him (her). So maybe you are just a little bit as your avatar

Oh well...My avatar is...the person I love the most

Myself. Just like Garfield said: "Narcissism, use it or lose it." (Actually it was the only resised picture on my computer now.)
