My favourite Friends' icons

[lobelia321]

I collected together some of my Friends, and then I collected together my favourite icon for each of them: the one I think of when I think of you! *g*

gabbyhope

Gabby changes her icons with such rapidity that my favourite one does not appear among her current crop but it looked sort of like this one (which is in fact crazybutsound's):


girloftheq


ia_ne

My favourite one of hers is a floral motif but it doesn't appear to be there among her current batch! But I really liked that one.

::g:: I don't think I even want to know why that icon is making you think of me. I have better sense than that. No, really.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

It was a toss-up between this and the orange. But then I realised that I associate the orange mostly with your contrelamontre -you so it had to be 'eek-um'! *g*

[ex-zarah5186.livejournal.com]

Look, momma, there are two of me! ::g::

[crazybutsound]

I absolutely adore that icon. I must say I agree with lobelia321, it does make me think of you and probably is my fave of yours, too. Just love it. *grins*

[ia-ne.livejournal.com]

And here it is again! My very first icon, although not actually made by me, and not even made to be an icon. I don't even know where I found it anymore. Could you please ask me to work on my natural hazards presentation? Since I can't say no to you....

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Oh, it is *so* lovely! *smiles at icon* I think I'm going to download this one in case it goes missing again....

But what is a natural hazards presentation?

[ia-ne.livejournal.com]

Well, I have to give a paper on trends in natural hazards/disasters and the role of insurances in natural disaster research/management. One of my English teachers always used oral presentation for 'Referat', and seeing as he is a native speaker I assumed that was correct. No?

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Yup. Oral presentation = indeed Referat.

Am impressed by complex-sounding topic.

[ia-ne.livejournal.com]

Don't be *g*. I'm the second speaker of three at an introduction to a (surprise!) natural hazards seminar, meaning I will speak 30 minutes max, 15 minutes for each of my topics, and have to stay very general. But I have to invest some work nonetheless... *dangles carrot in front of her face*

I noticed you mention Katjes Lakritzkätzchen a lot and seem to be very fond of them *g*. If you can't get them in the UK it would be no problem for me to send you some. Only if you're comfortable with that of course.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

[bunnysquee.livejournal.com]

aawww, i made you list *all teary eyed and honoured*

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Of course you did, you funny old thing. Especially with the *fletch*!

Although for some reason I thought that Craig clutching you was one of your icons --but no.

[bunnysquee.livejournal.com]

er, if you mean the bunny - i didn't make that into an icon because everything would be too small and unrecognizable.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Of course you did, you funny old thing. Especially with the *fletch*!

[eyebrowofdoom.livejournal.com]

Poor old neglected eyebrow... I feel nostalgic.

There was a certain... *integrity* to always just being the eyebrow. And I threw it all away for pretty boys and bad puns!

What a strumpet.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

I do love all the Kelly ones (I don't *get* the butter one) but the Kelly ones seemed to be only about one aspect of you while the Brow says it all...

And now that you mention 'integrity' -- I swoon! Oh, to have such philosophical thoughts about one's *icon*!!

[eyebrowofdoom.livejournal.com]

Hah, but you know I will always associate you with that slightly mournful picture of John Noble (er, I think it was John Noble). Even when you were being silly, it sort of added to the comedy.

I love the fish + cap more and more each time I see it. It's non sequitur made slash, the ultimate triumph of slash over logic. Discursive banditry!

(The kitten butter business was a long line of exponential silliness between Laz and I, in which we ended up proposing to slash Kirsten Dunst with a kitten, and use the butter on strategic body parts to get the kitten interested. And then I transcribed her the lesbian porn from which I had got the idea. And *then* she found a picture of Kirsten cuddling a cat! And then it was all over bar the shouting.)

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

The kitten butter business was a long line of exponential silliness between Laz and I,

O my god. You used 'I' for 'me'. *hyperventilates in shock*

Will I ever recover from this discursively transgressive subversively dis-grammatising rhetorical act?

In other news: is *this* the icon? *winks* That was my very first icon. azewewish made it for me. It's true: maybe part of the reason I chose eyebrow for you is that I was imprinted; it's the one I saw *first*.

Fish + cap? It's non sequitur made slash, the ultimate triumph of slash over logic.

How exactly does it do that? Hm, I admit that I chose it only for its lunacy. But perhaps that is what you mean?

I should go off and make a picture of I and fish. (Note purposeful misuse of 'I'... heh, you'll never hear the last of it now.)

[gabbyhope.livejournal.com]

I do change my icons like a mad woman, don't I? Variety is the spice of life! Or I just make too many damn icons, and have to show them off. Praytell, which icon was it? Looking at Jem's, I can't think of it.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

I commented in your LJ about it, do you remember? It had orange in it and I said it fits the orange background colour that you have in my Friends list. It was Dom (of course). Do you remember it? You had it about a month ago.

Re:

[gabbyhope.livejournal.com]

Oh! The yellow background one, with Dom wearing a yellow shirt. Caption saying, "gay secret message." Oh, yes. The yellow did go quite well with the orange. ;)

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Yes! That's the one!!!

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Yes! That's the one!!!

[cinzia.livejournal.com]

Um.. so when you think of me you think 'strange clumsy nearly-extinct bird'?
*ponders*
...yes, I guess that's a pretty accurate description. ;) Cool.

(Ooom.)

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

You had a sort of blue Aragorn one once that I also liked (like the blue one you have now but more close-up).

Although I confess, I do like this one. And I have to admit: I didn't realise it was a bird!!! Let alone, extinct! I thought it was some kind of furry animal....

[cinzia.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah: the 'slash me' one, my first! I might upload it again... :)

And I have to admit: I didn't realise it was a bird!!! Let alone, extinct! I thought it was some kind of furry animal....
Heh. Kinda looks like it! But it's really a bird, a Kakapo... I discovered its existence thanks to viva_gloria, actually (and to her deliciously funny fic, Night of the Kakapo) and I fell in love with the poor little thing. New Zealand birds are cute. And sweet. And funny. And yes, I AM that shallow. ;)

I'm sure sheldrake could tell you more about kakapos--I'm just a 'newbie' (so to speak). :)

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Sheldrake??? Hm, now you've got me intrigued.

Of course, kakapo in German more or less means 'pooh-bum'... which doesn't help. (Or maybe it does..?)

*scuttles off to read Gloria's fic*

[azewewish.livejournal.com]

*pets Harry*

Such a beautiful man, isn't he? And yes, my obsession is showing again. ;)

*hugs*

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Well, there are so many Harries in your icon-palette... But I do like this one because it's understated and because he looks down, and I sort of like that. Don't know why.

[freyafloyd.livejournal.com]

I really must use my other icons more, because that 'Good Boy' icon kind of suggests that I have an obsession with putting pretty boys in sub/dom scenarios.

Azewewish's icon is very her though, but I would have gone for the Josh's abs one for Laz.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't know that was a sub/dom scenario. I thought it's Hugh bringing in a tray of coffee or something. He looks so sunny!

And yes, I know that *you* would have gone for Laz's Josh icon... *rolls eyes*

But I had to pick the saturn because that's Laz before she was abducted by the Curl Demon, *gg*. And for some reason I always associate the word 'lazulus' with some cosmic sort of body.

And for some reason I always associate the word 'lazulus' with some cosmic sort of body.

*smirk*

You have no idea how much this tickles me!

[blithesea.livejournal.com]

lol, ironically enough that icon was made solely for your entertainment. I doubt anyone but you appreciates it any... and once you have Katjes again, you'll forget about Orlando's tongue immediately!

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Are you kidding? Katjes are from now and forever *melded* in my mind with Orli's tongue!

*stares at icon some more*

[sheldrake.livejournal.com]

This is Loch Torridon in the Scottish Highlands. I went on holiday there once and liked it. It's become my imaginary place to go and live in a shack and escape the world etc etc. Except now I discover my colleague at work is actually doing this, for real! He stole my loch!

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

I went to Scotland on holiday once and also loved it (maybe I subliminally received Scotland rays from icon....)

But your colleague stole your loch! Perfidy!

Send him to Cromer!

[sheldrake.livejournal.com]

Send him to Cromer!

That is too cruel and unusual a punishment even for the bastard loch-stealers of this world...

Just noticed I gave this icon the keyword 'lake'. *smacks forehead* It's a loch, you fool!

[cupiscent.livejournal.com]

When I saw which icon you'd chosen for me, I made a very similar face. I don't think I'd realised until then just how much that expression of pure glee is my own.

*beams*

[eyebrowofdoom.livejournal.com]

Mirando does look remarkably like you in that icon!

[eyebrowofdoom.livejournal.com]

"Mirando"

??

am I suggesting a pairing here or what?

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

*snorts*

Write it!! Write it!!!!!!

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

You did have a nice looking-down one b& w one (of yourself!) once but this one is possibly even nicer because so *cheerful*!

[crazybutsound]

You know, being the icon-making freak that I am, I'm surprised I haven't yet done a similar list... i so love looking at other people's icons.... mmmmm... might go and be the complete unoriginal girl that I usually am and take a page out of your book. It would be fun having a look at all of my friend's icons, lol. I already know which one makes me think of you most, and I'm not telling, yet! ;-)

As for mine... yeah... for a while, I kept changing my default icon--and all of the others--constantly. But then I made this one, and I kind of thing it's pretty fitting. Not that I look anything like that, mind you, but I do love the naughty, pervy teacher idea it brings. Eh. Cuz I'm a teacher, but the one thing I dread the most is becoming an unpervy boring one some day. So I keep this icon to remind myself that my mind's mostly happy in the gutter and should stay there.

And I rambled again. Sorry about that. Am just happy you like this icon, too. :-) *wanders off to have a look at her own friends' icons*...

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Weeeee! I was kind of hoping I'd manage to start a meme.... Am so honoured! Will rename myself Madame of the Meme. And it is fun and sort of intreresting to discover to what extent you identify people with their icons. Sometimes, if people change icons completely, I find it quite disconcerting. And my own icons I sometimes find just don't *fit* me anymore so I need to change them. I sort of try an icon out for a week or so and if it doesn't *click*, it has to go.

[jennandanica.livejournal.com]

hey, i made your list. i'm so honoured. this icon is still my favourite although i'm currently using my nfb karl as my non-public consumption default. in case you didn't know (and care to) it's part of the alhambra in granada, spain. why it's significant to me is something that falls under the category of tmi so i'll smile sweetly and keep my mouth closed *g*

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

I love this icon! And I was intrigued for the longest time about the location and identity of it, but then I looked up your Pictures and found the name of it, *g*.

And I'm glad there's a bit of TMI attached to it for you...
