the thing about this icon is... i rather like it. makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. thank you, elijah, for making the appropriately cranky expression.

[livejournal.com profile] sarahchica wrote what i believe is the first slash [that i could find anyway] based on l'engle books! it's sandy/dennys and it's lovely and sweet.

no exciting mail today. ::pouts::

what does a pinched nerve feel like? could that explain that pain that starts in my shoulder and moves all the way up my neck and down my arm? just wondering. cuz. ow.

i am having a desperate urge to read some lotrips. that hasn't happened in a long time so i think i should go with it. where to start? i want to dig around for some billy/elijah. that's just the kind of mood i'm in. lalala.

had the loveliest of chats with [livejournal.com profile] annelarissa and [livejournal.com profile] starbuckle this afternoon. more tomorrow morning! yay. we sit three to a papasan loveseat in a sunny yellow room. and it's very cozy.

[livejournal.com profile] scottxwl, i hope you had a wonderful birthday. i've been thinking about you. mostly about how i don't see enough of you. hope we'll be rectifying that situation real soon. ::hugs::

what could possibly make you feel warm and fuzzy? just the fingernails on a blackboard effect it has on me? or could it be that poorly-proportioned black and white photographs of mediocre quality always have that effect on you?

that's awfully unoriginal. i mean, i could. but then, you could. and if i did it, wouldn't you be sick and tired of the proportion and symmetry and stuff?

i have no issues with symmetry. clearly, i am a fan of your icons (note the presence of three icons made by you in my little collection).

an anti-meanness icon may not be original but nonetheless seems necessary around these parts.

these lj-parts. and i disagree entirely. making people feel bad about themselves is decidedly not cool. and that is the meanness to which i was referring.

well, perhaps i haven't followed closely, because i haven't seen any terribly recent kerfluffles.

dude. can i just say that i know of at least one person currently posting without icons bc she's convinced you were ranting about her?

i don't know of anyone on my friendslist posting without icons.

but i rant about anyone whose icons annoy me, which i have a perfect right to do.

of course you have a right. just like those girls in high school had a right to loudly mock other people's clothing choices. i was hoping to draw your attention to the fact that you were hurting feelings. if you're trying to hurt feelings... well... well done.

it's my journal. i'm going to rant about anything which annoys me, pretty much. the goal of a journal is pretty simple and self-explanatory. i'm not going to refrain from ranting, which is a highly valuable function of a journal. i suggest the error is on the part of people who are overeager to get their feelings hurt. they should take a page from the books of the people with the worst icons and simply not notice.

that's pretty much ridiculous.

i'm not trying to say there's error anywhere. you're absolutely right. it's your journal. you can declare yourself the arbiter of taste. you can be petty and mean.

blech. i so had no desire to actually fight with you about this. i like you. which is probably why i care at all.

i don't think it's at all ridiculous. i don't care what other people think about my icons, so why should they care? you can't let other people dictate your taste, which is why i don't go around complaining TO people about their icons on a random basis: i just bitch about the things that grate on my sense of aesthetics. it's a silly obsession and i freely admit this.

how about these? i'm getting tired of text-only.

i'm going to fully embrace the irony of a no meanness icon from you. i love the 'play nice' one especially. may i snatch it up then? i'll replace the 'cim hates this icon' because... ok, well, i don't actually like it either.

so. we'll have to agree to disagree about all this, i guess. i agree one can't let other people dictate her taste... but then you go around making absolute statements about what is tasteful and what is not. there's not a lot of 'in my personal opinion' going on in your rants. like we both said, it's absolutely your choice to do that. and it's my right to get upset when my friends are hurt by it. most people in the world do not have iron-strong self-esteem.

yes, you may.

i don't think it's necessary to say 'in my opinion' when you're talking about what is obviously your opinion. it insults the intelligence of your listener, like writing 'i think' in a first-person essay. it's silly to back off from your opinions or apologize for them--on anyone's part. there's nothing wrong with disagreeing with people.

perhaps some of you are under the mistaken impression that icons taller than they are wide look good anyway.

that's not stating your opinion. it's insulting other people's. you also have free reign to insult people in your journal. just calling a spade a spade.

(i agree, 'i think' kills an essay)

::sigh:: not sure whether to post this or not. i know i'm right. you know you're right. not likely to get much farther than this. eh. ::posts anyway::

sure it is. it's saying that in my opinion, icons of unequal proportions are GLARINGLY, ie extremely obviously, unattractive.

Yup. Sounds like a pinched nerve. If you have sore muscles in your shoulder, that could be causing it. Some kind of anti-inflammatory like Alleve should do the trick. Hope you feel better soon!

oh good. well... maybe not good, exactly. but it is nice to know that there's some explanation for all the ouchiness. ::takes some alleve::

thanks!
