That link fubar is what I get for being lazy about cut'n'paste.

Starbuck Avenger for Trish (Found this one for chanlemur who got a better offer.)
This is one I created to appease Channing to write more of Tales of the Starbuck Avenger, the first chapter of which can be found here: http://chanlemur.livejournal.com/32575.html#cutid1 He got a much better offering from shaenon who is much more talented, and I am in the process of becoming an annoyance thereunto.

George (An icon of George from MGM)
George is a Reaper, in a sort-lived but addictive show on Showtime called "Dead Like Me" which I have come to believe was discontinued because Mandy Patinkin was going to "Criminal Minds", not a bad show, but [whinges] I tend to use this one for the times I might be squicked and want to return the favor.

reaper joe (MGM icon)
another "Dead Like Me" icon, taken kinda from the show's opening theme. Sort of my "deathly sense of humor" icon.

Jeng-ammit!
I needed an icon for those times to express frustration, usually at myself. The cat losing at Jenga seemed appropriate.

Dancers
I cannot animate icons on my own yet, so this is the "I like to move it..." kind of icon for now. I found the graphic while searching for vidclips of dancers performing moves I decribed in prose, and liked to woodcut feel of it.

An annoyance? To me? Bah! Or did you mean to Shaenon? I'm not sure to whom your 'thereunto' is pointing. :)

That modifier is not so much a laser as a shotgun with a choke. Not much range, but a massive spread.

Hey, tell me about why you don't use that icon by Tiede?

Re: Okie Dokie

[jeffreycwells.livejournal.com]

It's very pretty, so I like having it there to look at, but aside from story-specific indicator-icons I tend to like keeping my avatar constant. And the South Park one is just a smidgen more versatile. That's all.

Aww, there's just so many things I still don't understand. I wonder though if I should ask about them. Being nowhere near nerd friendly as you all, I'll just have to venture in. Maybe somewhere along the line, I'll at least be amusing instead of annoying.

While I'm glad chanlemur got a better offer, I'm still not sure about the identity of Trish.

Okay, what is 'squicked'?

I don't get cable. blackbyrd2 keeps me chained in the back room here with nothing but this keyboard. "NO TV" he says, until I get all my chores done and all...ALL the skidmarks are washed out of his undies. He's a cruel, heartless man...ahem, where were we?

I LOVE the Jeng Kitty who about turns wrong side out at losing!

The Dancers one reminds me of the Gemini icon I made late last winter.

All great icons, but I don't see some as much as others. You're like me like that. If I'm not using one I have a tendency to change it. I'm due now for a change I think.

NOTE

[ms-issicran.livejournal.com]

blackbyrd2 just reminded me of who Trish is, he's been telling me about what's been happening to her. ~~feeling a little geek/nerdy now

BB2 has some odd ideas of were someone should be chained up, but hey, if it works for you, go for it.

Re: NOTE

Thanks for clearing that up, I hope I can use it correctly in the future.

(and it's not his fault, he works nights, I work days...oh wait, I don't work now...XD)

When I Saw Yours....

[ms-issicran.livejournal.com]

I just kept thinking, 'How did she get so many userpics!?' It took me a good couple of clicks before I realized the link was wonky...you've got some interesting ones.
