and now, a meme

[jaina]

And now for something completely different- the icon meme! Comment on this post. I'll choose seven userpics from your profile and you'll reply here, explaining what they mean and why you're using them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so others can play along. I was given the following to explain by snarkel:



. This is from The End of the World flash animation. You pretty much just have to watch it. Cause it's awesome. "Us Californians just have to worry about California breaking off the United States. To go hang with Hawaii. Alaska can come too."

. apoplexia made this one, I'm pretty sure for use on fandom_wank. As I remember, there's a series of them. Directed, of course, at those who feel proper capitalization and punctuation aren't necessary on the internets.

. Another f_w-inspired icon, part of a whole bunch made in response to some serious Harry Potter shipper craziness. (Back before the whole Chuck Norris thing became old meme.) I love Harry/Ginny, Chuck Norris loves Harry/Ginny...

. This is Max and Logan from Dark Angel. OMG THEY ARE SO CUTE. I LOVE THEM TO SHINY LITTLE PIECES. And then we pretend that the second season of the show never happened.

. speshulduck made this one. Mal and Inara are my favorite Firefly ship ever, and this picture pretty much sums them up. Look at little cartoon!Inara's expression of total exasperation! And cartoon!Mal is all "Grrr!" ADORE.

. Shego, from Kim Possible. A "cranky smarthmouth prone to excessive violence," which oddly describes several of my favorite characters. Shego rocks. She carried out pretty much the only successful villainous scheme on the show, which resulted in her being the "Supreme One" in the future.

. snarkel picked this one, even though she made it, because she wants me to tell the story again, so I'll do it cause she made such an awesome icon. :) Back, back in the mists of time, at GenCon 2004, I was on the floor helping with the Save Farscape booth. A fanboy approaches, like they do. He has a quote on his shirt. I read the quote. He notices me reading it. "It's very Machiavellian," he opines. Then, condescendingly, "Do you know who Machiavelli is?" I brandish my right fist (showing my Brass Rat) and respond with the quote in the icon, finishing with "Yes, I know who Machiavelli is." Normally I don't run around bragging about what school I went to, but in that case, *damn* did it feel good.

I <3 that story! (the ring story). Only, for some reason I can't remember if I'd stopped by there when it happened or if I just remember you reenacting it so well...

Still, LOVE the story. :)

Whee, I can't resist an icon meme; do me! Although I don't have a full arsenal of icons up since I have a Cheap Person's Account, so ya can pick less than seven if you want.
