Icon meme
Comment on this post. I will choose six userpics from your profile and you will explain what they mean and why you are using them. Post your answers (and this explanation of the meme) in your own journal (if you want) so others can play along. Or heck, post them here if you don't want to toss it into your own journal, I don't mind.
harena chose these 6:
Sarcastic Acidified
The full version of this picture is here, and the original (pre-acidified) is here. The original was a picture of me trying out new peculiar clothing that didn't fit particularly well (notice the orange tag on the sleeve) with peculiar lipstick that doesn't look good on me. My hair was in odd little twists. I don't really use the icon much, but I like it because it's weird.
Elliott - Smile!
This one is the only one of mine I didn't make... The dude in the picture is Elliott Yamin, who was 3rd place in American Idol two years ago. He's also Jewish. I occasionally use this picture when attempting to cheer people up.
B&W Artsy Eye
This one is the oldest of my current icons. I believe I made it sometime in late 2000 or early 2001. All my LJ friends at the time were making eye-icons, so of course I had to make one, too. These days I use it when I'm being pretentious or nitpicky.
Bubbly-Artsy
I believe I made this in GIMP, when playing around with it for the first time on my mom's computer (my mom uses Linux). I liked it, so I made it an icon. I use it when feeling happy and artsy, or anonymously happy. Or sometimes chaotically happy.
Blinky Me
Before it was animated, it was this, and before it was anime-d, the original was this. It is my standard WTF!/Surprise icon. Also notice that it is from the same photo set as Sarcastic Acidified above, though not the same original photo.
Birthday Cat
I made this in Paint. A slightly larger version is here, with added table. I use it for wishing happy birthdays, and also for relating the mischievousness of cats.
