Icon meme
Stolen from izhilzha because I need to stop thinking about picking up my HDTV today have nothing significant to post otherwise.
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.
I found this icon right after Pixar's wonderful Finding Nemo came out; it was merely one of a whole bunch of other LOTR fused with Nemo quotes and is therefore wonderful. I use this one for whimsical moods.
I'd been looking for a serious icon for awhile and was thrilled to come across this icon for T.S. Eliot's Prufrock. I find, however, that I don't use it very often because it has a timid, almost cynical flavor to it. "Do I dare disturb the universe?" Do I dare post this? I still like it though.
I love this icon for its simplicity and elegance--it's also very much an "inside" icon. If you don't know the book this icon is from, then you're really left scratching your head but possibly tantalized all the same from the b/w romanticness of it all. (Spoilers for Lord Peter Wimsey stories ahoy!) Lord Peter asks Harriet for the umpteenth time to marry him in Gaudy Night and "Placet" is her answer--the formal reply given to the administrator of a university's graduating class to let them graduate (I think... something like that anyway). It's a perfect response for Harriet and one of my favorite proposal scenes in all of literature. (For the record, though, I believe the b/w movie used for this icon has nothing to do with Lord Peter--it just fit the ambience.) I don't use this icon very much either since I have little relating to romance to post about.
I believe this quote is from Stranger Than Fiction and it hit a chord for me since lately anything I write just erupts in a spurt without any method to it. Not sure for my part that it makes it worth writing... but I liked the quote so there you go. It is, naturally, a writing icon. I use it to post about my writing or sometimes other people's.
*hugs* This icons always makes me grin, though again, it's a bit of an insider icon. Kakashi, the character pictured, is the sensei of the main character in a highly-popular Japanese manga/anime called Naruto. His trademark pose is him walking around with a book of erotic literature in hand--and in fact, in the early days of the manga you rarely see him without it. He even allows his students to attack him while he reads and fends them off easily. Thus, going along with the love of reading and the absolute glee that is the Harry Potter series, sticking HP in Kakashi's gloved hands makes perfect sense. I use this icon for a variety: posting about Harry Potter, Naruto, or reading, or for sheer whimsy.
