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've always been a bit of a forum junkie. People identify the poster by the icon used and i've seen fights over people using similar icons. Which is really funny looking back. The icon becomes the face persay and gives a new viewer an impression of the poster.

However a change of icon can indicate an artists touch and a general change of mood. It comes down to what the poster wants. that being said I would love to see someone going through and post using Hex from reboot as their main icon in that style. I'm sure a default account would work
