Icon Meme!
Because I have lots of better things to do, but am feeling kind of under the weather, lets do an icon meme!
Snaffled from
darchildre. :)
1. Comment to this entry and I will pick 7 of your icons.
2. Make an entry in your own journal and talk about the icons I picked!
(I'm adding a free-for-all option: ask me about any of my icons in a comment, and I'll explain those, too.)
darchildre asked me to explain:
Keywords: Nightlighting
This is quite an interesting choice. The picture itself is of a street in Tokyo at night, but the keyword is what's important here. Occasionally I write private entries that border on fictional writing, in which I record impressions and thoughts I've had about various things, mostly culture and metropolitan life. These can get really weird.
I haven't done any in awhile though.
This icon has different uses for me. I occasionally use it when I'm talking about any issues pertaining to very private matters or things that are important to me. You probably know already that I'm very open about most of it (it can in fact be hard to get me to shut up about some of them).
The "taking off" of a mask is the important point here.
I've used it once or twice in the context of cultural appropriation, too.
Hmm, this depends. It's an autumnal icon, so I have used it for that. It also (despite the leaves) reminds me of Brazil
Heeee. This is my icon of choice for
a) Something really weird has happened.
b) As a sort of friendly: Are you fucking kidding me?
Ooooh, this is another very cool choice.
The icon is of the Caspar David Friedrich painting "Monastery Graveyard in the Snow", or rather, the black and white photograph that still exists. The original painting was destroyed in WWII. The painter himself was local to Northern Germany, he painted mostly things that are within a day's distance of where I grew up. This depicts the ruins of a former church and monastery, now a graveyard (although he made some of the gravestones to look like monks). You could say a lot about the transitory nature of all things living (or even spiritual), especially in conjunction with this particular painting being destroyed in a war. You can look at a bigger version here.
Aaah, my Kermit icon. I use this when I'm particularly excited or gleeful about something and can hardly contain myself even in meatspace. :D
Sort of my anti-Valentines icon. I'm okay with the concept, but find it occasionally hilarious. As you know, I'm relatively aromantic in day-to-day life, but the notions of romance that I *do* have a pretty sweeping and epic. Cupid ain't it.
