My new avatar shows Medusa from the painting "Medusa" by Victor Nizovtsev.

I just found that picture, and I love it. I had actually looked for a more classic Medusa, but when I found this one, I could take no other picture.

In Greek Mythology, Medusa is my favourite. I don't think she was evil or anything. She was turned into what she became known as by a god. She must have been very sad. And she did not *decide* whom to turn into stone, or anything like that. She had been made so ugly, that to see her horrible face petrified a person.

So I chose Medusa as my avatar. And my handle now is "Medusa's Eccentric Hairdo", which kind of explains itself. A friend came up with that for me.
