What Did the Cockney say to the dinosaur? Avatar?






I originally made this Meez avatar last year on a lark. While avatars are fun, they don't really look like me no matter which one I try. Doppelme and Tek tek were so unlike me I gave up after trying to get something even close.

Meez is the closest and yet far thinner and prettier than I shall ever be. I can't even get a close hair match(grin).Those of you who know me or have at least seen me know that my hair is (bleached) blond, silver, and what ever other color feels right for the season (currently lagoon blue layering into purple under the blond).Sooo... to the right is my Meez, and on the left is the "real" me.

I have found avatars fun, I have a Mii on my Wii that I use in games that is as like me as any of the online ones, and my character on Animal Crossing (played on my Nintendo DS lite) is more like me than Doppelme or Tek tek.
Second Life looks interesting but will have to wait for broadband at home as opposed to dial-up.
