1) How did the author use an outside source(s) of information to anchor their reflection.
As a die hard fan of The Office, I too can say that when I initially heard of this avatar assignment, I thought of Dwight talking about Second Life. I enjoy how you abstracted the basic elements of what exactly is being portrayed by an avatar, which we have discussed heavily in class, and related it to what you would portray if you were to create a character in Second Life. However, in an environment other that Second Life, one in which your primary function is not to specifically build relationships with other avatars, would you choose your avatar to portray "This is how I really want to be", rather than "This is how I really am"?
2) How well did the author describe the issues that he or she faced in creating the two avatars.
I find it very easy to relate to your struggle of distinguishing between your actual physical characteristics and your mental representation of those characteristic. I also had to resort to examining myself in front of a mirror feature by feature before I could make any headway.
