This just in: Drunken Power Hallucination Gives Birth to Vortex Avatar Day

[Narcolepsy]

I've always tried not to get too involved in this forum. I see this as a fun web site to visit in my free time, not as some sort of alternate reality. I separate myself from the people here, never attempting to post in extremely personal threads (though I ashamedly read them with interest) or get to know people outside the context of this web site.

It is very important for me to continue to exist primarily in the reality around me that will affect me every day, as opposed to the one here that will likely never amount to more than entertainment.

But alas, I am weak. I finally had a dream last night about this very site, much to my own lamentation towards my continually loosening grip on reality. I dreamed that some random guy had declared it "Vortex Avatar Day." The premise? Everyone takes their current avatar and creates an animated gif much like the one I have, with each frame using a more intense degree of the "spiral" photoshop filter. It would be in honor of everyone's favorite forum member, Narcolepsy.

Such reverie could only have been caused by the "Favorite Forum Member" thread, in which a remarkable 2 people acknowledged my existence. My mind, being partially unconscious and thus deprived of its better judgement, decided to blow my triumph out of proportion.

But as ashamed as I am of my drunken power hallucination, I think Vortex Avatar Day is one of the best ideas I've had in a dream in years.
:bounce:

EDIT: Remarkably, I realized that I have not yet uploaded my new (AND IMPROVED) vortex avatar. I'll get to it immediately.

ULTRA EDIT: Well, people seem to be taking my idea (which was delivered in jest) seriously, so here's a better idea. Why not just create an animated avatar day where everyone does something interesting to their avatar that involves some form of animation?

You are insane.

Not enough time anyways.

well i usually dream about naked women and having my toungue laced in parboil ribs and then having it removed by a brazilian checkered flag but there we have it, my subconscious is a dressing of disturbing set pieces of inhumane torture and in waking life, i don't like to think certain thoughts because i believe the whole world knows what iam thinking

I seem to have inadvertedly created the biggest spam magnet in the known universe. Just so you know, this thread isn't just a power trip - its all true. I swear.

In other news, bow before my avatar which was made in 3 minutes and didn't come out as well as I would have hoped.

 

[lePobz]

My avatars reflect my dreams too.

Only kidding.

Me, sarcastic? I prefer sardonic. But really, I did have that dream last night.

 

[Doppelgofer]

i dreamt about what would save the world of endless opression

...but when i woke i realised there would be no fun in that

Normally making an avatar for a theme day takes less work than making an animated gif

Translation: This idea blows cawk

 

[Doppelgofer]

i'm willing to animate mine....but nothing to do with a swirl

edit: DONE!

I believe you may be on to something. Why not just transform this into "Animate your avatar day?" See my edited first post for details!

My avatar is already animated. You just have to look real hard.

That statement reminds me of the old G-Man avatars I used to have that would blink or smile every so often, maybe 30 seconds.
