So, we have threads for rating avatars and signatures and stuff, but we can only rate the person above us. So, in this thread, SCREAM about your new avatar and signatures and let us discuss the awesomeness that they are. : D
In completely unrelated news, I've made a new avatar and sig pic. ^_^

OH MY GOD LOOK AT MY AVATAR/SIGNATURE!

pianomike · 15th Nov 2009, 01:05 PM

I really don't have a signature but lots of people like my avatar!

**Helen** · 15th Nov 2009, 01:15 PM

My signature freaks people out, and my avatar makes people facepalm.

Brandford · 15th Nov 2009, 01:19 PM

I think my avatar is cute and I just changed my signature

Swamp56 · 15th Nov 2009, 01:20 PM

I don't even remember what my signature is. My avatar is weird; I don't even know "what" it is.

EDIT:
Now I know what my sig is

pirateninja · 15th Nov 2009, 01:25 PM

My avatar and signature changed after my haircut, as per always. Looking at it, it kinda seems vain.

But the wording "Better than Edward Cullen" stemmed from a joke with a friend. At first it was just because "I'm real and he's not", then after discussing how much of a psychopath his character really is, it was just "Yeah, you'd be better than him full stop". Plus it makes me laugh

My signature is a helpful reminder on the usage of homophones, namely that they are not synonyms.

My avatar is me on a day when I was feeling especially gay for some reason.

Black Cat · 15th Nov 2009, 03:19 PM

My avatar is an old IWW symbol for sabotage, and a former symbol for anarchism. I just picked it because I like the kitty, although I do like the story behind it.

My sig is a quote from FDR. I saw it one day at the end of a music video and it inspired me, so I figured I’d stick it there to share with others. I’m always hunting for inspirational quotes to use. I particularly like those about dreaming because they make me feel like anything is possible.

**Maddy** · 15th Nov 2009, 03:33 PM

My sig is my eyes, because even though people tell me they're creepy they're probably my best feature. Also a song lyric I like. My avatar is one I found in my very large folder of stuff I found on LJ.

NickT · 15th Nov 2009, 04:00 PM

My avatar is just something I found funny. Probably because I often feel like the guy at the end of the day >>;

My sig is an animation from the GBA Fire Emblem games. Mage class. I rocked with Erk. >>;

LivingInLyric · 15th Nov 2009, 04:05 PM

My avatar is me being attractive, AHBVIOUSLY.

My signature is two quotes that have kept me going through tough times in my life.

I like the first quote, just keep shipping!

my signature is just a position I like all my women in -wink-wink-
and a tidbit of lyrics from the Savage Garden song: "Affirmation"

my avatar is Chris Colfer being well... fierce, work it gurl! XD

biisme · 15th Nov 2009, 05:37 PM

Sooooooo, I've had the same avatar since I joined. No, it's not a pug, it's a tiger. :P

I'm a kitty!

Oh, and my sig has been the same for a long while now.

Greggers · 15th Nov 2009, 06:29 PM

I just changed mine.

I dont know if i like it, i might change it again...

So yeah, lessee...my avatar is pretty much what is controlling my brain, a tiny, crazy bird. Oh yeah, and it has a rainbow background!
And my signature, well that's just good literature warning us about the dangers of oral hygiene.
so ya, LOOK AT ME!!!

**lostinthought9** · 15th Nov 2009, 06:54 PM

I just changed my avatar. It's Callisto, from Xena.

AND, my sig is Kasey Kahne <3. (my future husband)

adam88 · 15th Nov 2009, 07:01 PM

My band in my avatar is pretty indicative of my taste in music - poetic, complicated, a bit frightening and utterly awesome.

My sig is my initials. Of my real name.

Don't feel bad calling me "Adam" though, I picked this name so I gotta lie in it.

Or so the metaphor doesn't go, or something like that.

15th Nov 2009, 07:04 PM

My avatar's from the first rave I ever went to. My friend started doing this awesome light show before we left to go to this rave and then my other friend started playing with it on photoshop... then I stole it from her

hehe
