reynardo | Meme: User Icons

Work is alternating between crazy busy and complete lull, so here's the meme:

1. Reply to this post with "UNICORNS", and I will pick five of your icons.

2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.

3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.

4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee. Or a good way to kill 10 minutes. Or if nothing else you get to read what others find interesting :-)

And I blame

adelheide, who asked about these five icons:

This little fellow is a wallaby who was in the bush in February 2009, when we went up to Pittwater. Usually they can find enough water in the bush, but the combination of the heat and the burns on the poor thing made him willing to come up to us. It's not a very clear icon, and I only use him on very rare posts such as bushwalking ones.

I'm on a couple of communities where people complain about things. Regularly. And the expression "special snowflake" is perfect for them. But the saddest thing is I cannot remember whether I made this one or not. I think I must have - it's fuzzy enough :) If I did, it's from a picture on

wtf_nature or somewhere similar of cylindrical snowflakes. (I have vague memories of laughing with someone else about how such a snowflake would make a perfect "Special snowflake" icon, but don't know if they then made it or I did)

ALL HAIL HIS NOODLY APPENDAGES! Welcome, fellow Pastafarians. Ahem ... Five years ago (Oh hell, was it really that long), I was driving to work and the rest of the gory story is here. The picture is of the jewellry I made, and the icon gets used for comment on religion or when the Flying Spaghetti Monster is invoked. Ramen!

I was trying to make an image of myself as a bunny in a corset. Alas, it hasn't really worked. Yes, I wear corsets from time to time - the ones I have a proper, comfortable, and give me such a waist! They're also very useful when my back is a bit sore. And that's my story and I'm sticking to it :-)

*whistles innocently*

What? You want a proper answer?

Ahem. *blush* Suffice it to say that it was created for posts between myself and a friend and was one of three icons I made specifically for those posts. The picture was ... the result of a rather large mosquito. Yeah. That's it. *noddles*
