icon meme

[fileg]

as we approach the trick or treat icon post, I thought I would try this game from all over my flist:


Go here and choose the following.....

1. One that makes you automatically think of me.
2. One that you think I should TOTALLY use more often.
3. One that you don't get/needs more explanation/you have no idea why the hell I have it.

I'd like to add - what are you surprised I don't have (or have, for that matter)

Comment using an icon of yours that you LOVE, and tell me why

1. The "get my gun"/Henrietta icon always makes me think of you. It's an awesome icon and I keep wondering where that figure is from. I just love the mixture of sweetness and strength. A kick-ass icon. And that's the feeling I get of you: that you are a very sweet, but also a very strong person.

2. I'd like to see the moon that Robin painted for you more often. I have visited her website, because you linked to it, and the website is amazing. As is the icon. I'd love to see the whole picture.

3. What's the psychic fig called ginger?

My icon: it's an old Irish blessing for travelling. There's a song to go with it that I can actually sing. I think it's one of the prettier icons I made and I like using it for friends who are far away from me.

Henrietta is one of the young protagonists in an amine called gunslinger girls It's about secret government organization that takes young girls, rescuing them from near-death incidents, refits them with artificial body parts and then pairs them with an older agent to function as his assassin. I know, it sounds terribly dark, and it is, but much of the show is about the relationships, and also it contrasts the perfect little killing machines with the pain of little girls still going through all the things little girls go through. The writing is poignant and scary - Chris nearly fell off the couch when Henrietta's handler is explaining that he chose her because "he wanted to do something nice for her." scary scary stuff, and very compelling.

I picked up the phrase "get my gun" from leemoyer - no wasted anger, just that calm ok, you asked for it.



I tried to get a shot of The Moon where it hangs in my living room, but my camera batteries are dead. I'll try again tomorrow. The painting is very small - it's a 5x7 and the icon does show virtually the entire thing. Its one of my favorite pieces of art that I own, and I own some great ones!


Ginger was my first dwarf hamster, and since I have written so much about her in these answers, I will point you to those, and to her website

I can't remember how she came to get the nickname The Fig, but she was generally the same hapes and had a stripe down her back





your icon totally rocks!! I love the choices you made for the words.

I hope Jim remembers how she got the name fig - I remember it was a funny story (don't remember the story, just that it was funny!)
