One cannot come up with your userid (Shriveled Muse) while not being an interesting person. Same for the avatar and for how well the avatar fits the userid.

to make sure I am not making it up (meaning - I thought your choice was very good, but perhaps it was not your unique choice, but some kind of a character - since I am out of the loop, never watch TV, etc., I could easily miss things that are common knowledge for others).

So I put "shriveled muse" as a query to Google.

You are UNIQUE. Unique and interesting.
