The Darkside of the Moon (England really)
Mine is from my favourite videogame, The Last of Us. Ellie is a 14 year old character who has lived all her life in a post apocalyptic dystopia after an infectious fungus spreads a plague that mutates people and devastated the population 20 years earlier. At times during the game she reads from a joke book she found. After she says that joke - "people are making apocalypse jokes like there's no tomorrow" (which is a damn good joke on it's own) she looks down and says in a quiet, regretful voice "too soon".

Mine is a quote from Mother Teresa. I am not Catholic, but I find her very inspiring. It's easy to look at everything that's wrong in the world and get discouraged and give up because nothing one person can do would ever make any difference.

But Mother Teresa breaks it down to the bare bones, and we know from her example that just rolling up your sleeves and making something happen for one person, in your little circle, is how big things get done. I could go on forever about service and the changes it makes in your life as much as the lives of others. :)

My old signature was "I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft..." from The Doors, The Wasp (Texas Radio and the Big Beat). Because I do!

I adjusted my settings so people's signatures aren't seen on my screen.
I (like most of you, I'm sure) automatically read everything in my line of sight. I drive myself crazy reading signs on the highway for the millionth time before I can catch myself and look away! This is especially true of church marquees with their cute little sayings, and when I've read it *AGAIN* on my way to work, I nearly want to careen through the ditch and knock the sign over! "This church is prayer-conditioned" is now cause for murder.
So, on the board, I found I'd be reading a post, then read that damn signature which I'd already read so many times that I now thought it was a stupid signature...don't be offended...only stupid because my scumbag brain just HAS to read it to me. But seriously, anything you do (or read) over and over becomes commonplace and routine and ordinary. I want to be anything but ordinary. So if I had a signature, it would change daily, kind of like Out of Order changes his avatar!

I'm not allowed to have a signature...as that option is not available in my drop-down menu. Too, viewing the board as a guest, the signatures are not apparent. But then, too, I've disabled signatures and had to enable them to see what people were talking about. Anyone else not allowed to have a signature? Or...and here's a thought...I actually HAVE a signature, but I don't know it...it says, "spank me"...heh! Jumped humped born to suffer made to undress in the wilderness.

Hmmm... must be automatically attached to the moderation thing. I can ask Jordan if this can be manually over-ridden if you like?
