Icon Meme again!

Okay, so I've played in the icon meme again (crossposted to dw and lj).

If you want to play,

1. Reply to this post with "excalibur", 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.


I really wonder that my friends picked a lot of the same icons.



[personal profile] ultranos and [personal profile] aelfgyfu_mead both asked about the following icons:


This is a photograph I took of a sunset on the Bay of Fundy, Canada some years ago and really the only iconage of a personal nature on my journal. I just love the tranquil look of the setting and fits pretty decently in a 100x100 square, no?



Oh come on, the Ancient language is TOTALLY tetris boxes (Sam and Jacob even proved you could read them upside down and sideways!). I made this one up myself and use it when I'm either amused or frustrated. IT's so not what Daniel's really saying in that scene...but it should be.

[personal profile] ultranos also picked:


This is Parker from Leverage, my new favorite show. I tried to fit the caption "20 pounds of crazy in a 5 lb bag" here, but couldn't. It's from that pilot episode though and just seems to encapsulate Parker very well. Upside down and awesome all at once.

This is an icon I snagged from [personal profile] nomadicwriter. I love to post it when I just feel joy of all my flist. Because you accept me for my usual nuttiness.


D'aww! It's pixel SG-1 all seasons! [personal profile] nomadicwriter made up this one too (she's also the creator of the mood theme I currently use because I'm too lazy to create my own SG-1 mood theme). I just think they're so adorable, and I end up watching the whole ten seasons scroll by at least once when I use it. I haven't used it in a while though *should dust off*


WHO DID THIS ICON! PLEASE TELL ME! It's someone on my f-list, I know. And I snatched it on impulse because RORY! AWESOME RORY BEING AWESOME! But I was in a rush and didn't make the notes I meant to because of course I'd remember and then work and then vacation and of course I DON'T remember. ETA: I tracked it down. It was the magnificent [personal profile] sallymn. Basically, this is a Doctor Who character I completely adore. I've really gotten into Who lately. Which is funny, because I would still argue Ten is my favorite, but I've never been so *must see tv* with it until this season. Maybe it's because of Mark Sheppard guesting in the premiere. If you're not familiar or caught up with the show, I won't say more about it in particular, but I like to use it a lot when I'm actually asking a question or when I'm feeling snarky or actually since it's my only Who icon, anytime I'm talking about that (Actually since this is my new shiny toy I use it maybe more than I should be).

[personal profile] ultranos and [personal profile] holdouttrout asked about:


Beta Babe! [profile] annerbhp gifted me with this a few years ago as what she thought would be the perfect encapsulation of me. :-p I've apparently got a bit of a reputation as a beta. It's all that sentence diagramming in middle school, I guess. Of course, I'm never as good at nit-picking grammar in my OWN stories. Heh.


Oh, this is one of the first icons I ever made. I love how I was able to crop it with both Cam and Daniel in the shot and it just...it fits, right? (I loved this scene and was a bit disappointed the build up of FH Part 1 cliffhanger kinda fizzled in Part 2, but eh). This also shows you around the time I fully got into lj fandom, huh?

[personal profile] holdouttrout also asked me:


Aww, it's no secret Bill Lee is my favorite secondary character (for the record, I consider Janet and Hammond as primary as the team). And come on. That is the best line he ever gave! I still see him talking about his equations for how far they can travel on tiny feet. So I just post this for Bill Lee love and when I want to say something silly. [personal profile] paian takes credit for making this awesomeness.


Because everyone needs a WTF icon. I love it coming from Sam with her ubiquitous "with all due respect". This is another one I snatched from [personal profile] nomadicwriter.



Ah, this was a joint project between [profile] never_at_home and me when we're first exploring iconage. I love this episode from Season Seven (it really grew on me over time) and just thought it was a perfect encapsulation of their strange friendship, both a struggle and support for each other.

Plus, arm porn!
