I'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.

I think my favourite of your userpics is the "SCORE!" one; I also find the one of the girl(s) going down the waterslide mesmerising. (Curiously, both of those violate my usual dispreference for animated userpics.)

The waterslide one I also found fascinating... the way it blends so seamlessly to show lots and lots of girls when it's probably only one or, at most, two.

(Dirty secret: I stole that one without credit originally, and even forgot where I got it from. 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.)

Hee! You have the one my husband made! (The über-mod one.)

My favorite, however, is the "No pony for you" one. (Am I the only one that frequently retorts "And I want a pony"?)

Did G make it? I didn't know that.

I swiped it from you around the time you made me co-maintainer of [livejournal.com profile] linguaphiles; as I recall, you told us we could feel free to nab that userpic if we wanted, so I did. (I don't think I've employed it yet in [livejournal.com profile] linguaphiles, though.)

The icon originated from doing support for LiveJournal, where "And I want a pony" is an occasional reaction to some of the support requests we get, especially in the Customization support category, back when there still was such a beast.

So no, you're not the only one to say that!

(We don't say so in "customers'" earshot, though.)

Well, he actually made it for the maintainers of [livejournal.com profile] christianity and I nabbed it. But yes, of course, I think everyone should feel free to use it. I remembered saying that but I thought I'd said it to [livejournal.com profile] goodboi.

I use it a lot when people begin their posts with "I don't know if this is allowed ..." and it is.

I always associate the platypus beanie baby with you, so I like that one. I also like the "SCORE!" one. :D

Martin was my very first userpic... I used him mostly because I felt, after a little while with a LiveJournal, that I needed a userpic, and I had a digital image of Martin handy but none of myself :)

He was my default for ages, and will probably become default again at some point.

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).

I love the baby pic of Amy (http://www.livejournal.com/userpic/37790808/725716). Babies are just too cute! (Maybe that's why I'm a father of six....)

Well, you have quite a few I like. A consequence of having a paid account, I guess; my six don't seem to be quite enough.

OMNES ARX VESTRI SUNT NOBIS HABENTUR is fantastic; also the Emma Watson icon, simply because she's got a wonderful smile that goes all the way to her eyes. 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.

I like "me in St. Charles" (http://www.livejournal.com/userpic/23001970/578054) best.

Though you look somehow Asian in it, perhaps Filipina - I was a bit surprised when I saw other pictures of you for the first time!

[livejournal.com profile] jpallan is a mutual friend. I was on here and on your friends list before under a different moniker, but had to abandon my old id for long strange bizarre reasons. So I'm just back under a new nickname.

Ah, I think I know who you are, then.

I had been wondering whether you might be that person, but I couldn't confirm that from your profile.

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! [livejournal.com profile] nazarboncuk said that she once knew a Tushetian who used to say "o martla?" just the way I wrote it (without the first /a/). (I had no idea about that when I created the icon; it was after she saw it that she pointed it out.)

No, I'm not. And from your description, perhaps I'm glad I'm not :)
