Reply to this post and I will tell you which of your icons is my favorite. Then, post this to your journal using your own favourite icon.

It was actually hard to choose a favourite icon; my default probably is, mainly because Linnea took the photo. But I like this one a lot too. Guess why :)

Comments

Go on :)

[barakta]

This is my favourite of your user icons. Although having looked through them all, you do have some lovely ones.

[ailbhe]

That's the one that was stolen to use in a computer game. Grr. It was my default until then. It was taken when I was 18 or 19 in a passport photo machine.

[ailbhe]

sleepy maynooth, or walking. It's very hard to choose.

[ailbhe]

Your default if my favourite of your THREE limited options usericons. It's also one of my favourite LJ usericons of all. It has a whole book worth of story in it.

You seem a bit perkier tonight ;-)

I like the tandem bfing pic, and the one of Linnea reading across the chair.

[ailbhe]

Ah, but which tandem BFing pic? (My favourite icon is a secret tandem feeding pic).

[hobbitbabe.livejournal.com]

I like the one with three generations. But I'm guessing that you like that one because you were pregnant in it?

[barakta]

It's not actually mine, I only have four digits on each hand - this represents my extra digit envy...

I would like to use one of my own xrays though, I just need to DPA some orthopaedic records I think :)

[hfnuala.livejournal.com]

Today the one of you and emer both in orange is my fav. Tomorrow this may change.

[ailbhe]

I like the cloister, your default, because it looks so peaceful. Mmmmm.

And that one's my favourite of my own icons because I'm tandem feeding but you can't tell unless you already know :) It's also in my favourite chair in my favourite room of my house.

[ailbhe]

I like the baby, close up! one - - because it's just like my baby grinning one really! All the cameras are going to be eaten ALL UP!

[datagoddess.livejournal.com]

me please!

[ailbhe]

I really, really like the passport one and I am still hurt by the theft of it for that bloody computer game. The u/s gets used mainly in communities and comments, I think; it's too specifically *Linnea* for me to want to use it for posts about Emer's gestation.

[ailbhe]

The one of yours I like best is the Torchwood one, because although I've never seen any Torchwood I like kisses a lot and it's *just* too fast for me to be able to identify anyone, so I sometimes spend ages looking at it.

[ailbhe]

I love your Phoenix.

[ailbhe]

Animators use four digits per hand because a fifth is unnecessary and just makes more work for 'em. Three fingers, one opposable thumb.

So whose X-ray *is* it?

[barakta]

One I swiped off a website talking about polydactyly years ago... I tried to find an Xray which was similar to mine It's probably of dubious ethics for me to use it as a user icon *humm* which is why I'd like to replace it with one of my own.

That or use a picture of my left arm Xray which looks really evil and has scary looking metal pins in it.

No one thought of the animated figures having hands like mine until the late 90s, where children who have the surgery I had to create a thumb from an index finger (pollicisation) get told they're like Mickey Mouse or similar.

Someone once called me a 4 fingered git, and my reply was "No, you're the 4 fingered git, I only have 3 fingers" which shut him up - we were reasonably good friends thereafter...

[jentifred.livejournal.com]

Me please. :-)

[ailbhe]

First story: ew. *Ick*.

Second story: *snigger*.

[ailbhe]

Either breastfeeding, or Bridget's smile. I love the way the arm is back behind the head in breastfeeding.

[ailbhe]

So I gather. Go on, give me a clue - who's the first couple?

[juliansinger.livejournal.com]

Oh, I shouldn't have read the comments-- I was going to guess it was an icon in which you were pregnant, but evidently not.

Which video game was the passport stolen for?

(I quite like the one of Linnea and the newspaper.)

[junipertree.livejournal.com]

I just posted that her breastfeeding one was my favorite :)

[junipertree.livejournal.com]

me, please.

Is it because of the books?

[barakta]

Ick at comparing to cartoon characters?

[nwhyte]

That one is a nice one!

[ailbhe]

I can just hear the kids doing it. You'd think 17 years out of primary school would have allowed memory to fade, wouldn't you?

[ailbhe]

I like "processing - attempting to give a damn". I've no idea who did it originally, sorry :)

The game is "Dark Fall II: Lights Out".

[ailbhe]

No, it's because I'm tandem feeding and you can't tell at all :)

It's mom&zoe snooze, of course. That's gorgeous.

[ailbhe]

I really like the tardis one -

[scarletts-web.livejournal.com]

The family ones are all gorgeous - having had a nosy at your pics, I think I like the trike one best (trike-envy) and also the purposeful striding red foot.

[livi-short.livejournal.com]

I love your twodaughters icon. I have a similar old picture of the girls at a similar age.

[ailbhe]

Mog is my favourite of yours! Clever you.

[pne.livejournal.com]

I think mine is working, writing, with a runner-up of the happy, smiling one.

[ailbhe]

Either the tired, smiling one, or one of the Dr Who In Drag ones. For *entirely* different reasons.

[barakta]

It wasn't the kids, it was more adults being all 'aww cute - like mickey mouse'. I believe modern medics tell children who are due to have the surgery that I had that they'll be like $disney-character-of-the-week... Which is also probably ick.

The kids were more and less imaginative. In primary school the kids weren't allowed to bully me, so the ones who didn't like me or thought I was a freak just blanked me instead (better and worse)...

I still have my trauma of secondary school, Only 17 years after I started and 12 years after I left *shudder*. There being 'different' wasn't just grounds for blanking it was more grounds for 'kill the freak' in any way possible. I won't start my rant.

[rmc28]

Pick me! Pick me!

[ailbhe]

Either Martin or Stella.

[ailbhe]

happy or happy2, really. The one that makes me feel squidgiest is your favourite though :)

[hitchhiker.livejournal.com]

wow - which game?

[ailbhe]

Dark Fall II: Lights Out.

I was pretty peeved.
