01. If you'd like, comment to this entry saying 'ICONS!' and I will pick 6 of your icons.

02. Make an entry in your own journal and talk about the icons I picked!

jinxed_wood asked for:

	My default icon for this journal (at the moment). One gotten off a button I bought from Nancy Buttons. It's my chocolate icon, because I am fond of chocolate. And yes, that is Earth as the background of the icon.
	Someone was being stupid on the internet, though about what, I can't remember (or have consciously forgotten), and it piqued me enough to make this. I made a similar icon for a friend with slightly different text in pink on black. It's one of two that I'm willing to customize on request (the other being the default icon on my fandom journal).
	Another from Nancy's buttons. Because as I post WIPs, that icon is utterly appropriate for me. As well as for the dozen or so crochet projects in various stages of not yet done. And the whole ADD thing where I start a project, and then take forever to get it done because I get distracted.
	A good icon for when I'm upset/pissed/want to kill someone in effigy. Though for the most part, people tend to wonder why I have that button (as it's another from Nancy's buttons), because they think I'm this sweet, kind, if sometimes eccentric and stressed girl. snorts I'll let most of the world keep thinking that.
	Mmm. Older button, newer icon. A substitute for "Ooo! Shiny!". Because when I see something I want, I find a way to get it. Even if it takes prying it (or the means to get it) out of where it is.
	Hee. The random person who bumps into me might think I'm vaguely normal. A little eccentric. Because I've learned to at least make the attempt to blend in. Different enough to be interesting for a few moments, not so different I am memorable. Well. Not counting the habit of wearing all 300+ buttons when at a con, if at all possible.

idontlikegravy asked for:

	My default icon for this journal (at the moment). And the second time through requested. :D
	Because I can? It's one of three similar buttons (the others being stealth-whap and scritch-purr), and it's rather appropriate for a hug icon for me... because I tend to lurk more than comment.
	I don't remember where or when I got the inspiration for this. Other than it involved Harry Potter, possibly wank, and general silliness. And a comment about a chartreuse elephant. So I made the icon, and use it for my "WTF?" icon. Mostly.
	I have a banner to go with this somewhere. rummages Ah-ha! And that is why "Oh no, fangirls." grins
	Because those breathing exercises for calming down, meditating, etc? Don't always work. And I like being snarky.
	Button originally purchased while I was in high school to pin the stupid id onto my clothes. Because I had to wear it, and I hate the sort of stupid plastic chains that are used to hold them. However... perfectly applicable to other places when life sucks.

Not yet coherent enough to rant in writing

And not doing a cut, because this needs to be seen. Which is also why it's a public post, not friends-locked.

There is something that has popped up on my flist more than once, concerning Amazon and their recent removal of sales rankings from some books. Primarily, from what I can gather, from those which have homosexual content. Among others, from what I was noticing as I went down the one post, and perusing others. Erotica also, but that would fit with their response to the question of why they were pulling the rankings.

However, it doesn't fit all of those which have had their rankings pulled. Being aimed at the GLBT community does not equal "adult content"!

This post is the first one I saw the link to, via jinxed_wood: http://community.livejournal.com/meta_writer/11369.html

That post further contains a link to an editor who wrote to Amazon and received a prompt reply, and posted about it on his LJ: http://markprobst.livejournal.com/15293.html

This is the post with a list of books with their rankings stripped, and from which of the Amazon sites they have had that ranking stripped: http://community.livejournal.com/meta_writer/11992.html

Anyway, there it is, and right now, I'm going to go do something to keep from stewing about this. Because while constructive anger is good, I am currently not gotten that far, and need to distract myself long enough to get past the first reaction and on to something more productive.

Seen on my other flist.

Which Torchwood Character Are You? Your Result: Ianto Jones You most resemble the team's composed, sarcastic general support. Passionate but excellent at hiding it under a reserved exterior, you care deeply about people and have a hard time letting go. The downside of keeping such a tight leash on your external emotions is that sometimes you lose control and have to let it all out. Competent and hard-working, you like to be on top of things.

A Conversation with a Muse...

Shoot me. Shoot me now.

It's not that bad, Methos. And it'll be fun.

I'm on a slab in a morgue, without even my skivvies, and I'm about to be all but romanced by a necrophiliac medical examiner!

After being thrown off Alysse's yacht.

....

Oh get over it, Methos!

When she's dead.

Then Alexx would have a headless female corpse on her slab, of apparently 20, who is actually perpetually 16. For the last 2500 years. Give or take a century. I don't want to subject the dear lady to such a thing.

She'd get over it.

Methos.

I don't want to do this.

You get to attempt to file charges against Alysse.

For drowning me?

Ok, so that doesn't work. Come on, Methos! Please?

No.

Spoil-sport.

Sue me.

If you were corporeal in the same reality, I might. But there's that whole problem with being only a character in a TV show and one movie, as far as the system is concerned.

*smirk*

I'll sic Horatio on you.

*raises eyebrow*

I'll sic the baby Grissom on you.

And what is a baby Grissom?

An eight year old girl who knows more about guns than most people she meets, and hyper-focuses on anything that she can relate to guns. Including what happens when one turns a machine gun on an Immortal.

You're insane.

Thank you. Crossover. You, a medical examiner, a Watcher, and the bane of your existance. And trying to explain a dissapearing body to Horatio.

That's not my problem.

True. That's what Alexx and Calleigh get to deal with.

You're tring to become the new bane of my existance.

*beams*
