Do you picture people as their avatar?

Plain and simple, do you picture people as their avatar? Am I now going to be thought of as Lucy by most people? I tend to think of people as their avatar, unless it's some inanimate object like a tree or something. Then I go by their sig or their name. Are you thrown off by people changing their sets?

Questions, questions, questions!

Um... Hopefully you don't think of me as Larry, although he is cute. :D sometimes I do think of people as their avvie, I guess, like I picture Monty as that singer in his set... no Trixie, I actually think of you as the actual Trixie Belden. Btw, I used to read those books all the time. They were great. :D

Yes, I do. It makes me imagine what their personality is like.

If somebody wears an avatar for a really long time then I do.

I sometimes do. I hope people picture me as the little robot guy in mine. Though, I still picture ric as the hot-dog hat avatar he had a while back.

Catspaw is a Care Bear
Pseudonym is a guy holding a shoe up to his head
Top is some wrestling dude
Laura Ingalls is... Laura Ingalls

Those can never be erased from my memory. :P

Haha, that was fun. \:D/

I wish people would picture me as my avatar. That would save a lot of trouble.

I always recognize Top from his Hammer Brothers rank. Catspaw always wears something pink and cuddly. For the longest time AE had an avatar of some tall guy - I think it's in the avatar gallery. Jelly had an igloo avatar for quite a while. Dr. Watson has long had a guy in a black hat.

I suppose I do. :-k

I don't picture ToOers as their avatar, but I do distinguish who is who by looking at the avatars instead of the username. So, when someone changes their avatar, I am a bit thrown off.
