Meme instructions:
1. Reply to this post and I will pick five of your icons
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose if you damn well feel like it.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.




[livejournal.com profile] ultranos_fic told me to talk about these:

I needed an icon that appropriately expressed my anger, and at the time I was looking for a Sam icon in particular. I am still learning how to make decent icons, and at the time I picked this up I'd just found [livejournal.com profile] ladyireth, who makes stunning icons that I always want to steal. I use it for when I'm angry, when Sam ought to be angry, or sometimes just because it's awesome.
 
I demanded that [livejournal.com profile] splash_the_cat make me this icon after she produced . It's usually my default icon because I love it so much, but I also use it for anything and everything else it might be useful for.
 
[livejournal.com profile] surreallis volunteered to make people icons a while ago, and she made me this one of comic book Iron Man. I just love the tension here--no idea what the story is behind it, but it's got great color and focus. I use it when I'm talking about Tony. :-)
 
Does this really need an explanation? Seriously, though, Sam and Vala are hot, and you totally know Vala isn't just pestering Daniel. [livejournal.com profile] annerbhp made this one, and although she makes all (or almost all) her own icons, she sometimes allows others to snurch some.
 
I actually made this icon, which means that I took a pretty picture, cropped it and resized it. I needed a winter icon just recently, and I really liked this picture. No idea where I got it/if I should be using it. :-) I really liked the feeling of desolation and space the picture had.






[livejournal.com profile] pepper_field told me to talk about these:

This is my Thinky Daniel icon. I use it for when I'm thinking about something, snarking about being thinky, or when I want a simple Daniel icon. By [livejournal.com profile] ladyireth.
 
I kinda adore Katharine Hepburn, and [livejournal.com profile] girlboheme had a whole bunch of icons for some sort of Girls Are Awesome thing going on.
 
Because only in fandom can you pair the words Happily Ever After with mushroom clouds. By [livejournal.com profile] annerbhp.
 
Blue Saturn. A pic I took from NASA, cropped and resized. It's NOT 100x100--slightly narrower, and partly that's 'cause I liked it that way, and partly 'cause I'm lazy. :-)
 
Back when I had a basic account and only 6 userpics, I needed a Sam/Jack icon. [livejournal.com profile] moebius_2 obliged with this one. I used it all the time at first, and then got more icons for when I needed happy or fluffy Sam/Jack. This has specified in function to be used mainly for angsty Sam/Jack.

I don't think that I even have 5 icons yet...

I'd ask you to tell me about them, but...it's sorta easy to guess. :-)

(Icons are like potatoe chips--you eat almost the whole bag--whatever size that bag happens to be.)
