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 have tried to use different icons, but really in my time on LJ I've only used two with any regularity *g*. This one, and the one I had before it. It's too complicated for me! But I love seeing other people's various icons. However, I also really like being able to recognize people just from their icons. I associate this one with you strongly and I like it!

It's a good thing your icon has your name, because I was so used to your smoking!Dean icon before that I kept having to blink a little at it at first.

I think I shall stick with this icon after all. Eventually people will get used to it, even though it's not exactly modest...
