all my icons, Part V

For those just tuning in, welcome to a series of entries about icons from my original journal. This is more as a way for me to remember what the icons are and why. I'm hoping to expand on these brief snippets sometime later. For now, I'm trying to get it all down...

Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk

One of the few Rufus Wainwright lyric icons I've found, I particularly loved this one because, well, the same is true of me. It's hard to limit oneself to a "portion" or proper "serving size" of jelly beans... [Made by enriana.]


I'd Rather Eat and Not Wear Clothes

Word.

One-liner icon series by jiatra.


SQUEEEE.

For all those squee moments (yours or someone else's). This is another one of those icons that Tamnonlinear had and I thought was so cool. And another one where she gave me permission to yoink it and use it shamelessly.


Bubblewrap

During one particularly stressful theatre production during college, a couple tech colleagues and I unrolled a bit of bubble wrap from the huge spool of it that the art department kept on hand. And then we stomped on it for about twenty minutes. It's amazing how much better we felt afterwards. (Icon made by jiatra.)

Grinning, Laughing Cats

Unlike my evil, laughing cat icon, this is a happy laughing cat icon. Sure, they do look like they're high on something (have you ever seen a cat smile like that???), but they're still cute.
Thanks to enriana.

Gauze

I don't know what series this icon came from -- obsessiveicons has so many and, while I record which artist makes the icon (in this case, wingedfigment), I am out of habit of recording the series source. But this one just captured my imagination. And like pictures from a Chris van Allsburg book, it's just waiting to become a story.

Ruby Lips

This icon, from icon_goddess, is another that's waiting to become a story. Sometimes, in indescribable situations, an image works where words don't. And that's the added benefit of icons that many people don't realize -- sometimes a picture can express what words cannot adequately.

Bibliophile

Enriana's icon would have also been accurate if it had my picture in there, but I don't know that many people would have found that arrangement as entertaining as I would...

Oh my!

Good? Bad? Who knows! Could be both. I like useful icons like this. Plus, the mouse is pretty bloody cute. Credit to jiatra.
