See what you wish.

(Yeah alright I like the colours and how they merge but that doesn't make it a thing does it?)
Thanks for replying I was wondering what was going on with your picture.

and what is a Czymra? is that something in Polish?
  • No Caste if you're still around, what is that strange black and white picture on your avatar?
  • Antaletriangle at last part of your mystery is revealed Still curious about the name too..

Seashore thanks for starting this thread, I have always found peoples representations of themselves to be fascinating psychologically.
Even whether you take the whole process seriously or not sheds light on aspects of a persons personality and humour level.

You're welcome!

Sometimes I feel that we're all too anonymous. Yet we're groping with very serious issues together...

I thought this might help us get to know each other somewhat...

I second that nocaste and Antaletriangle.

As for my name, it's simply an anagram of my real last name. Go figure.
But it's the only nick that I've kept beyond space and time, so there must be more of a reason why I chose it. It's unique, you'll find only me if you google it... so eh... maybe that was a bad idea. So what...
The closest word I could find to it was Cymraeg, which is "Welsh" in Welsh.

Fun thread!

I called myself Anchor - so I found a picture of an Anchor.

Initially I saw myself as a kind of Anchor, but now the name has stuck and I dont want to use my real one.

It turns out that the picture I chose is of a "fouled anchor". Once I had been told that I looked up what that meant and why it is a common symbol - it turns out that it often is used on maritime symbols to represent challenges.

The Prisoner (TV series), to me, was and still is an incredible representation of our society today not to mention humanity in general.

The late Patrick McGoohan was an amazing writer, actor and visionary.


* Originally I was "Number 404" as a play on the "web page not found" and The Prisoner's Village numbering system -- the prisoner that could not be found.

I use to change my avatars and profile page pictures like my underwear

Right now, these symbol represent me;

my avatar ~The Aqua Aura~ quartz crystal = my minds eye


my profile page image ~ The french doors = my always ~open heart

Already explained it in another topic. It's a favourite form of 'my people'
