I haven't bothered to look for my Avatar, but here and there I'll sign on to a website that shows it. Cool thing is that it changes when I change it...I update my avatar regularly. Don't really know why, but it's a fun way to pass the time and express the way I might be feeling at the moment.
People never look the same and to have my little Avatar (which is supposed to represent me) look the same would feel dishonest to me. Sometimes I feel ugly, sad, angry or just plain FAT.
What I like about it most is that I can use it as a form of self expression without having to get too "emo" on the web. Kind of cool actully.
Here are the links for the avatar:

Update: 1 min later...
Well, adding it to this post was really easy. I used my Google Chrome browser after adding the 1st avatar link to the address bar with MY GAMERTAG replacing the text "(gamertag)"
- avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/maharet/avatar-body.png
I realized that copy pasting that link would be silly and so would saving it because I don't think it would change if I posted it anywhere else. In fact, I still have no idea if it will change. By change I mean update when I change clothes, facial features, etc. SO instead what I did was RIGHT CLICK and INSPECT ELEMENT which gave me this text:
- >----- img style="-webkit-user-select: none" src="http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/maharet/avatar-body.png ---<
Here you have it:
WOOT! My avatar.
There are a ton of things I would like to do today. Being here isn't one of them. I don't know why, but I'm in a bit of a funk and I really don't want to be. Why can't I just be happy when I want to be happy? I know...I forgot my wallet at home. I don't make as much money as I would like, which isn't much more than what I already make (confounded much?) and I can't concentrate on the things I feel are important. Like...work.
I'll figure things out. Clarity will come eventually, in the meantime I'm trying to add some pretty things to my avatar, but because I'm at work I feel bad wasting that kind of time. Heeeee. Okay, a little bad.
