   I changed my avatar today to reflect the mood I was looking for. Since it's cold and I'm stuck inside,I picked a bright pink flower to remind me of warmer weather.
   Do you change often and I wonder if a face is better?

      lol I've changed mine once in five weeks. I prefer to show my face on my avatar but that's just because I prefer it. No reason really. I like that you change your avatar to reflect the mood
      Today I should change my avatar to a bottle of exedrin. I have a migraine that's gonna kill me
