Things ratherastory worries about in her spare time

[ratherastory]

So a few people use only one icon in spite of all the icon space that comes even with a free account, and while I am an icon junkie, I've begun to wonder if they're not onto something. After all, they all have an icon that is recognizably them, and that's it. In my case, it would mean that I wouldn't spend those few extra seconds wondering which icon to pick (first world problems, I has them), especially since I'm letting my paid account lapse in light of LJ's latest fuckery antics.

The thing is, my default icon is this:



I do love it, but I don't know if that's the one I should keep to represent me, or if I should go hunt down some poor, unsuspecting icon maker and see if I can't cajole them into making one with my own name on it.

I don't know, am I the only one with strong feelings about icons? Flist? Anyone? Bueller?

(I thought about making a poll while I still could, but I honestly don't know what I'd put in a poll about icons)

I only use the one icon because I'm still finding my way around LJ, I would consider using different icons if I could find ones unique to my interests (like the one I have just now), and also ones that not everyone is using.

I also kinda prefer it when people use a default icon in posts (such as in comments on in communities) as it makes it easier to recognise the person posting, but for posting fics I don't think it'd matter too much cause I'm gonna be visiting their page to read it, so I should know who they are...
