Just because it was time. And because I must copy everything Victoria does. Ya know, it’s kind of funny and has the potential to be creepy, I think. I seriously don’t mean it that way. I am not in the least bit creepy. Not even a little. Socially awkward at times, but not creepy.
(However, it seems to be taking a little time for Gravatar to update. But I think I’ve done all my other major ones. I made this guy over at http://www.facemymanga.com. First one I’ve done online that I was able to actually download properly to use.)

I was just going to assume it was a coincidence if you hadn’t said anything.
Yes, it does take a while for Gravatar to update. It seemed to take about a day before it happened for me.
My avatar really is me, sort of. My husband drew it a couple of years ago.

Goodness. You both confuse me. Who are you again?

I think people changing their avatar and name has made Triiibes confusing. We not only get used to looking for someone’s name on here, we identify them by their avatar too.

I agree Tony. I had a hard time when I first got on Facebook because people use their real names there. If you had a consistent picture, it made it easier for me to make the mental connections.
That’s why I’ve made an effort to change mine everywhere to stay consistent (so I’m the same here and at Twitter and at Friendfeed) and done posts to note the change. I’m really happy with my little cartoon character, so I think I’m not going to be changing it anytime soon. I see it as my “logo” for my personal brand now.
