say what
All right, so I'm gonna try and get back into the swing of LJ posting. Because once you've been away for a while, there's all this pressure and shit, like 'OMG GOTTA MAKE IT INTERESTING' and well, there's just not that much going on lately. It reminds me of that story I once either heard or read about this supposed wise man from somewhere that hadn't said a word for years and years and everyone expected him to come out with like this mind-blowing gem of wisdom when he finally did speak, and the guy just kept being quiet because of all this pressure to be amazing.
I don't really know how that story ended. Anyway, here is a meme.
1. Reply to this post, and I will pick six of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee.

Years ago, I was looking at MSN's pictures of the week, and I saw this one, and it just looked so pretty and great and happy that I had to have an icon of it. It's one of my oldest icons that I still keep around, for sentimental value or whatever, and I generally use it when I'm feeling good and at peace with nature and shit.

AHAHAHAHAHA, oh G. Way. This is a cap from the Famous Last Words video, and seriously, how great is that face? I love all his stupid emoting that he does. He is just so ridiculous and I adore him.
3.
Isn't that a great horrified face? I generally use this icon to express my DDDDDDD:'ing, usually for non-serious stuff.
4.
IDK, it's just so cute! I knew I must have it the moment I first laid eyes on it. It's a stormtrooper! Riding a little red bike! And it is now doubly appropriate since I got my own bike, which is also red. \o/

I don't really use this one very much, but I do like having an "I'm being creepy" icon around. JUST IN CASE.

Skeletons!!! Bones are so cool and fascinating! I took a class last quarter on Bioanthropology, where we basically learned about all of the bones in the human body, and I just loved it so much that I had to have an icon to represent my love. Plus, I really like how the skeleton here just looks so peaceful and like he's in a deep slumber.
And then I went and asked loveyouallwrong for six MORE icons. I just can't seem to stop talking about them!

Ahaha, this icon is a bit vain, but whatever. I think it's from May 23, 2008, when a whole bunch of us gathered at a hotel in Chicago to see Panic at the Disco in concert and have a fabulous and laughter-filled weekend together. Anyway, I think one of those nights included drawing on people, and this particular icon is a bit of a larger piece of art that kalpurna drew down the side of my torso. It, of course, represents my OTP.

Sinfest! I actually love this comic a lot. And really, I just like having an icon that judges people. :D

A direct result from this conversation from about two years ago:
pearl_o: I AM SCARY LIKE RAY TORO! >:D
strobelighted: ... wait.
pearl_o: ALL CUPCAKES SHALL FEEL MY FAILY!WRATH
strobelighted: what did those cupcakes ever do to you? :(
pearl_o: THEY WERE DELICIOUS AND COVERED WITH MESSY FROSTING
strobelighted: oh cupcakes. you will be remembered fondly.
pearl_o: GERARD IS WRITING A SONG IN THEIR HONOR RIGHT NOW. IF ANY OF YOUR CUPCAKES ARE IN TROUBLE, TALK TO SOMEBODY. NO CUPCAKE SHOULD BE WASTED!
strobelighted: Gerard is the cupcake savior! All cupcakes look up to him with bright shiny sprinkly eyes of adoration.
pearl_o: GERARD IS TOTALLY THE CUPCAKE MESSIAH.
THE BROKEN, THE BEATEN, THE DAMNED ... AND THE CUPCAKES
strobelighted: he doesn't care about the color of your frosting, or the number of sprinkles you have. he believes all cupcakes are sweet and wholesome!
happy_coconut: How does he feel about the muffins?
strobelighted: he believes in equal treatment of all baked goods.
pearl_o: Some cupcakes want to be muffins, and some muffins are really cupcakes underneath. Gerard loves them all!
strobelighted: but really, it's okay to be whatever you are. don't let anyone get you down because they say the other baked good is cooler.
But really, it is applicable all the time.

Greek BFFS! I love Casey and Ashleigh's relationship a lot, and I love them both, so this icon is just filled with a whole lot of love. Look at how happy they are. Plus it looks so pretty!
