mooging Memes to see in the weekend, because I say so.
1) Comment and I'll pick seven of your icons, and then you will explain why you love/are using the icon (who doesn't love talking about their icons, seriously) and then post your explanation/this meme in your journal for other people to squee about their icons, and basically it will be a huge squeefest of love and 100x100 square pixels
1) Who: Ten - OMG: okay, well, I created this one for the sole purpose of having an OMG icon, because I felt I needed one; I have since spent all my time using it wishing I had a different one, that didn't have Tennant on, as much as I am amused by his comedy earth-is-moving-or-am-I-having-an-orgasm face, because it always seems a bit too twee to me even though I made it, what, idk.
2) Misc: Mary/Katee Holding Hands: well, this came about because on Battlestar Galactica, I totally girlship those two women as their characters (SO MUCH), even though they barely have any scenes together, and then Mary McDOnnell and Katee Sackhoff turned up to some event HOLDING HANDS for that photo, and I spaffed around a lot and made an icon.
3) Text: TG Quote: washing machine: aha, this is actually not the exact quote, but it's from the Bugatti v. plane race, and Jeremy's little anxious desperation Not to Be Beaten by James in a Plane made me all kinds of happy, and I needed a TG icon, and LOOK IT HAS WORDS :D (this is possibly not the best reason for liking an icon in the world, but shhh your face)

4) Shoebox: Dah-nah-nah! Dah! Dah! - SHOEBOX. LYRICAL SHOEBOX. ENOUGH SAID. I HEART SHOEBOXXXX. I tend to use this one to express joy! joy and glee! because it is just so cheerful.

5) Keywords: Holmes: hats off to the best: hee, I always end up using this one when I want to give a compliment but it never comes across that way (I associate it with praise because of the keywords that I gave it and somehow expect everyone else to know that, oh dear, fail for me) and LOOK THEY ARE WEARING HATS ILTHEM. Also I love the background-y texture-y thing, all smoky and red and stuff (I fail at...er, knowing words?) so, er, yes. ♥

6) Keywords: Misc: gays (hurrah): GAYS ON A BED DOING TOUCHING I WILL NOT SAY MORE (I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO). :DDD

7) Keywords: Brideshead: bring me a parasol in the po: er, okay, to start, that is meant to say 'in the pouring rain', but obviously lj hates me, so it doesn't. I just remember watching that scene and going UNFG and possibly crying a little bit, and nnnngh, ilthem a lot and Sebastian in the edge of the sea in the rain and the way Charles just automatically goes over and they huddle into each other and it's just right, nnnnnnnngh UNFG LOVE. I haven't actually used this one yet, I just shoved it there in my rush of love for them and immediate desire to gorge myself on icons of them.

Also, let's do that compliment one: Comment with your username and I'll give you an honest compliment (or several). Then post this in your journal and spread the love.
And this fic-y one, to try and kick me into writing anything worth half a damn: Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my own personal pseudo-canon. I really don't mind if you pick more than one character, but no more than three please, because there are LIMITS TO MY BRAIN.)
Have at ye! (please?) Do specify if you comment which, if any, you would like me to throw at you :D
