Icon Meme!

[jetpack_monkey_ljarchive]

From qkellie and rhi_silverflame:

Look at your LJ userpics list. If you have fewer than 50 icons, pick every fifth one. If you have between fifty and seventy-five icons, pick every seventh one. If you have over seventy-five icons, pick every tenth one. If you have fewer than ten, pick all of 'em. List them on your LJ, and tell everyone exactly why you have it, why it's interesting to you, and what significance it has.

		Keyword: Weiss - Pwned! By: Me with words by qkellie I did a couple rounds of the thing where I made blank icons and people gave me clever text to append to them. This is one of those. I use this when I'm feeling rather smug about a personal victory, usually over inanimate objects.
		Keyword: The Doctor (10) - Nice Ass By: Me Clearly I'm highly creative with my keywords. I grabbed a bunch of screencaps from DW 2x01 - New Earth (remember, this is before there were 10 bazillion icons of David Tennant freakin' everywhere) and this one just said that he fancied a rump roast. Maybe on one of those saucy cat nuns. Meow! Er, anyway. I use this one (and a few others) when I'm being lascivious. Very lascivious.
		Keyword: The Invisible Man - Writers' Block By: Me You can never have enough Universal Monsters icons. I know I don't. I don't rightly recall when I made this one -- I think I came across the shot somewhere and decided an icon must be made from it. It might have been during NaNoWriMo. In any case, I don't have a lot of call to use this one of late -- I'm not writing nearly as much.
		Keyword: The Doctor (10)/Martha - Muppets By: Me I'm really proud of how this one turned out. The publicity shots had just come out and I was futzing with a combination of different layer tricks and this was the result. The weetiny lyrics are from Movin' Right Along from The Muppet Movie. It has two siblings -- one blue and one green -- that also feature lyrics from the same song, but this one is the best of the lot. I also dig that mara_sho uses it sometimes. This mostly goes on Doctor Who fandom posts when I use it at all.
		Keyword: Syd & Marshall - Spybuddies By: Me I think I just saw this screencap and was giddy at the sight of those two working together (even though I'd seen this particular Alias ep a couple times). Marshall in the field is one of the more adorable things ever and I just love the look on Syd's face here. I use this for posts about how awesome my friends are.
		Keyword: Kolchak - Headdesk By: Me This is the real Kolchak. The proper Kolchak. The McGavin Kolchak. There aren't enough icons for the original Night Stalker series -- I should probably make some more, actually. I don't go in for animated icons too often, but this particular scene was just asking for it. I'm fairly certain that one or two of the frames is out of order, though. This comes out when thunderous stupidity (on my part or on the part of others) occurs.
		Keyword: The Doctor (3) - Reverse the Polarity By: Me I actually made this one with the intention of having my friends caption it for me, but I ended up doing it myself. Man, I was in love with setting layers to Multiply back then. Anyway, this is the Third Doctors catchphrase with a modern twist. I use it when I'm being funny about Classic Who.
		Keyword: Shaun of the Dead - Yawn By: Me Simon Pegg yawns and my flist yawns with him. Not a lot to say about this one, other than that it's one of my older icons. I rather liked how it turned out. Usually I'm sleepy when this gets used.
		Keyword: MST3K - Made of Fail By: logicandchaos Wow, an icon not made by me. I used to be really hesitant to use other people's icons, but I think it was just a matter of finding iconners who shared some part of their brainspace with me. Clearly this iconmaker does. I'm not sure what episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 this comes from or who said it, but I cherish it all the same. Mainly for ironic commentary on the idiotic.
		Keyword: Robin/Barney - Awesome Together By: Me I only started watching How I Met Your Mother in November when midnightfae found Season 1 on sale on Black Friday. I've been in utter love with the show ever since. This is my favorite ship (although, to be fair, Ted/Robin is a close second), and I can thank just_3_apples for introducing me to it. This is a general use icon for posts of a positive nature.
		Keyword: Spinal Tap - Goes to 11 By: timjr Tim made a series of icons based on his 100 Favorite Films Ever. I ganked three of them -- one because I needed a Cary Grant, one because I needed a Groucho Marx, and this because sometimes things in life are more awesome than 10.
		Keyword: The Doctor (9) - Spoiler Rage By: Me (quote from a Joss Whedon post on Whedonesque) This is an oooooold icon that I recently resurrected when my friendslist was a-squee about The Stolen Earth and I hadn't seen it yet (midnightfae and I have a deal where we watch together, but she works on Saturdays, so I frequently watch it much after the rest of my friends). They hadn't posted anything specific, but I have this weird ability to put together tiny little clues and form a whole (like the time I guessed that I was getting my own Tom Servo for Christmas -- which sadly resulted in not getting a Tom Servo for Christmas). Anyway, I went into Internet blackout for the rest of the day and I used this icon to announce it. I haven't really used it since. Still, I need more Nine icons.

This is my favorite ship (although, to be fair, Ted/Robin is a close second)

I enjoyed Ted/Robin a lot, but it reminded me too much of me and every guy I ever dated who wants kids. I knew it was always doomed, though they weren't BAD relationships per se. They just deserve people who share their goals better.

Barney/Robin, however, is pure genius and I love it ohsoverymuch. Even though my Robinself turned into a Lily when she found her Marshall. *hee*
