It's May 12th. Which is to say, it's the 4th anniversary of the day I joined this forum. Although I don't come by so often anymore, this forum holds a special place in my heart, and gave me much-needed human connection during times when I was in transition in my life and couldn't get much contact IRL. For that, I'll always be grateful.
I always commemorate this day with a new profile picture, and this year is no different. Slowly, my profile picture approaches what I actually look like. (I'm pretty sure the glasses and hair comprise about 90% of how people recognize me, anyway!)
EDIT:
Now I'm trying to remember what your previous avatar looked like. This ones very nice, a smile would have made it all that more nicer.
Too bad there's not an old avatar file to look at the changes that people make.
Well would you look at that, I did get back to smiling after all. Now I'm misty-eyed.
