Let me introduce myself: my name is Erica Coleman, official BLOGGER! I have to be honest, I set this blog up in about three minutes! It was so easy and user friendly (thank you, blogger.com). I think it took me longer to set up my avatar, just because I enjoyed playing around on doppleme.com. I just went for the plain ole, easy to remember blog name. I have so much I am trying to keep up with these days: work, graduate school, and my personal life, so I just went for something I could remember easily. I am taking two graduate classes, so I put the course name in my title so I would remember which class I am doing this for!
For my avatar, I decided on the classroom background because I am a teacher, but I have to admit my avatar has a WAY more excited expression than I usually do. Because she looks so overly excited, I gave her a Starbucks coffee to hold. The purpose is two-fold because I admit my avatar looks like she's had too many shots of expresso AND because I do love coffee! Other than the overly excited expression, she does look like me. I went the route of attempting to create an avatar that shares a resemblance to myself than creating an avatar that is completely different than I.

Hahaha! I couldn't help but laugh as you explained why you put the starbucks cup in your avatar's hand. I also thought the expressions were pretty intense, as you said it definitely has that "one too many shots of expresso" look, but its totally fun! :)
