Icon musings

[girlofprey]

Today I have been mostly uploading new icons. Yay for icons! My parents didn't approve at all, and my chest is starting to complain about how I'm sitting, but...I have lots of new icons. They're pretty. But I have a dilemma now, because I've been putting the creator's name first in the keywords and it makes it really hard to find the icon I want in the alphabetical order of the icons. So I want to change it, but apparently changing the keywords makes the icons disappear from where you used them, and then if people look back at my old posts they'll think I'm really boring with icons and have just recently learnt the art of them. I have deleted quite a few today though, so probably this is already true. Hmph.

A funny thing happened as well. I was running around finding new icons and communities (Evil Dead! Sam Rockwell! Omg!), and I was thinking 'Omg, some of my rare fandoms! Oh how I wish I had icons for all my rare fandoms!'. And then it occured to me that I have many DVDs for my rare fandoms...and I can make my own icons. I have nearly 200 screencaps from Giant - and I can make them all into icons. Not good icons. Bits of picture stuck in a box. But undoubtedly icons.

I feel sure this will lead to no good, and no free time.

Ooh, you should rename your icons and previous posts be damned yes. You can put who made them into comments underneath keywords nowadays so that they don't have to mess up your icon menu at all. Good.

I look forward to the icons of merry cropping yes:):):)

Ooh, I had not thought of using comments for that. Mostly I have just been slightly randomly explaining why I like the icons. But your words make sense and probably I will rename them all, just because. And...maybe I will go back through the old posts and change the icons! That will work. And no-one will ever suspect a thing...even if I seem to be using an icon before it was made...yes...

I too look forward to it. Perhaps then I can convice people of the yayfulness and love!

Ah, I was just watching Lawn Dogs the other day, I really love Sam Rockwell in that...and not just because of the naked bridge diving!

The boy-kissing scene is always a favourite for me ;)

You know the littl girl in that is Mischa Barton, aka Marissa from the OC? Small world.

I know, it's crazy. She's so good in it, too ;)

And oh yes, the boykissing! How could I forget that. The violent-love.
