Avatar: Extra Credit

So I had the pleasure of creating my own avatar.  I have to say, this is an interesting feature that you can easily do for a little fun.  I think that avatars were a great way to keep things "secretive" and not give away your full identity.  What do you guys think?  Is this a decent portrayal of myself?  I was a little disappointed with the accessories and types of clothing options, but it's a free site, so i appreciated the simplicity of the creation process.  I used the site, DoppelMe, considering I have heard so many positive things about the site.  

I think the coolest part of creating an avatar, is being able to change your appearance by your moods and what's going on in your life.  Obviously, if i was more engaged with using avatars, i would have a cast on my foot at the moment.  I broke my foot this week and would have updated the avatar with crutches and a cast on my left foot.  Being that this is a free site, it gives you the limited use of clothing and accessories and gets the job done, so there is not too much to argue with.  

I enjoyed this process, considering i have not made an avatar for myself since obtaining an Xbox a few years back.  I wish that avatars were used more frequently.  They are definitely a lot of fun!
