"Favourite userpic" meme
Sunday, 21 January 2007 17:31I've seen the "favourite userpic" in three journals so far, slightly different each time :)
Here's how I'll word it:
Comment on this entry, and I will tell you which one of your icons is my favourite. (I may choose more than one if I can't decide which one I like best.) You can comment with the one of mine you like the most, or just with anything.
(Which is a composite of the three I saw.)
As for me, I like to use different userpics in different situations, so it's difficult to pick one favourite of my own. However, I kind of like the 'rgb' icon I'm using on this entry. I suppose it's a geeky kind of thing; at any rate, I can't really put into words why I like it except that the concept seems nifty to me.

Later on, the person who introduced the icon to LiveJournal got hold of me and chewed me out. After we talked a little, though, my understanding was that she was fine with my using it as long as I credited her, so I kept it and mentioned her name.)

I swiped it from you around the time you made me co-maintainer of
no pony for you
Date: Sunday, 21 January 2007 18:33 (UTC)So no, you're not the only one to say that!
(We don't say so in "customers'" earshot, though.)

Date: Sunday, 21 January 2007 18:53 (UTC)I use it a lot when people begin their posts with "I don't know if this is allowed ..." and it is.

I think I like your My hair is cool kthx (http://www.livejournal.com/userpic/43742563/94282) icon best, possibly followed by the pink fader thingy (http://www.livejournal.com/userpic/11700084/94282).

Julia Roberts is another actress like that; when she smiles, her whole face lights up. As a musician, however, my favourite is probably your "SCORE!!" icon. Music jokes never fail to crack me up.
What do you do with a failing music student?
Give him two sticks and call him a drummer.
What do you do with a failing drumming student?
Take one of the sticks back and call him a conductor.

Re: ubykhlives
Date: Tuesday, 23 January 2007 02:59 (UTC)Are you familiar with Neurotically Yours? It's from an episode of that (although it's rather offensive, so I won't give the address unless you really want it).
Though the Georgian OrlyOwl is also nifty.
Thank you!
