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'd like to say something cool like I only have one icon, because that's just how I roll, but I'll be more honest than that. First, I found this one, and it just felt right to me. My name is Katreniah (Kat), and a part of me is african american (hence, black cat). Plus, while I really enjoy looking at others', I don't have the technical knowledge to make my own icons. I do have someone who offered to make one for me, but it's like the reason I don't have a tattoo: I just can't get with the idea that it's like putting myself in a box, saying this is all that I am. Right now, I'm totally into Glee, Leverage, and Hawaii 5-0 fanfic, and I could get icons of each of those I suppose, but I'm all of those things, not just one. That probably sounds strange (and it probably sounds like I've thought about it waaay too much), but there it is.

Oh, and I only have one icon, because that's just how I roll.
