Eeee. That was a really neat poll :D I love polls and questions about icons or my icons or whatever. :D

And now, of course, I realise I missed a few things. Pity you can't edit polls.

(For example, a "sometimes" choice on "do you get confused", and an extra question [which wouldn't have fit in; I'd have to leave another one out] "do you change your default icon often?".)

Actually, although the poll generator only allows up to 15, you can hand-code up to 30 questions (IIRC).

Said I'd explain my icon-picking here, so I shall.

The 'be afraid' one is usually for when I'm in a weird mood, or sometimes for support entries, because of the bunny.

The 'let's walk away from this hell' is for when someone's having a tough day and I'm trying to make them feel better, or when I'm doing something helpful.

'Grab your guns, girls! We're going to war!' is for when I'm feeling very aggressive, I'm going to tackle something (though I use the determination one more for that), or when someone's being an idiot and I'm humiliating them. :) I don't use it that often.

'I can do this' is for when I'm facing a tough project, or when I'm feeling determinated about something.

Skipping the mushy icons for now, will get to them later.

The one with the keyword 'bad day at support?' is for any time I'm feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or when I'm having a bad day.

The 'diva' one is one I haven't used for any particular emotion yet. It'll probably be used for when I'm feeling like I want to just sing my buns off.

'One way ticket to hell' is for when I'm feeling like a bad girl.

The 'die' one is for when I'm mad over something.

The 'blah' one isn't for anything, really. I just find it amusing and use it lots. (although I keep feeling like I'm offending someone, eep.)

Two mushy ones, skipping.

'Have you noticed I am ignoring you' and 'Do not bother me' were just uploaded...last night, I think, and I haven't gotten an idea what to use them for yet.

Now the mushy ones.

'l.o.v.e' is for when I'm having a wonderful day, Chris-wise. Usually, I'll have to feel absolutely amazingly in love to use it. If I use it, it's a good time to ask for a favor. :D

'Must be love', which, by the way, I did not steal from Jo, she stole it from me (with permission), is usually for when I'm just feeling mushy and squishy.

'Here is my heart' is alternated with 'Must be love'. I use them for the same emotion, though this one is used for a little more emotional times.

The kissing one is just for when I don't have another icon that works, or when I really want to grab Chris and kiss his brains out.

I know you didn't need a big long explanation, but I felt like giving you one.

The only time I find numerous icons annoying is when more than one person on my friends list have the same or very similar icons, or when there is no obvious link or between the particular set of icons.

For an example of well themed icons, look at firewillow.

Indeed.

A good collection.
