I use avatars to quickly find those I want to. I have a sweet scroll wheel on my keyboard, that makes finding myself or others very easy. Also, I like to express myself. The purpose of an avatar lies in its definition:

av·a·tar ( P ) Pronunciation Key (v-tär)
n.
The incarnation of a Hindu deity, especially Vishnu, in human or animal form.

An embodiment, as of a quality or concept; an archetype: the very avatar of cunning.

<b>A temporary manifestation or aspect of a continuing entity: occultism in its present avatar. </b>

It is a temporary manifestation of my mood, or some quality, or idea I wish to express. I am the continuing entity represented.
