So, I normally do memes in londonbum, but being that this is an icon journal, I thought I'd post it here.

May I present the Icon Truth Meme.  Click here to see my thread and comment on what you think of my icons.  Give me your worst!  It's all anonymous, so I'll have no idea who said what.  I look forward to reading your comments.

While I'm clogging up your flist with meaningless memes, I thought I'd ask what kind of icons you guys want to see.  Or, indeed, if you want other stuff besides icons.  Friends only banners, headers, wallpapers?  What fandoms, etc.  Leave a comment and let me know.

This is the CD Cover Meme, which I stole from

dhisana. 

Follow these easy steps:
1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is the name of your band.

2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.

3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

I'll have icons...eventually.  I'm watching Stigmata right now and am feeling the need to make massive amounts of Gabriel Byrne icons.  But for now, a meme.  I would have normally posted this in

londonbum, but given it's kind of a fandom meme I thought it'd be best to post it here.

a. Post a list of 10 TV shows you love (current or canceled)
b. Have your friends list guess your favorite character from each show.
c. When guessed bold the line and write a little bit about why you like that character, or your favorite quote. (include a picture if you want!)

1. West Wing
2. The X-Files
While I adore both Mulder and Skinner as characters, Scully is my undeniable favorite.  Perhaps her pernicious streak of skepticism in the face of Mulder's blind acceptance, I don't know.  I just love her.
3. Wire in the Blood
4. House, M.D.
Oh House, how do I love thee, let me count the ways.  Besides the fact that Hugh Laurie plays him, I think he's a magnificent bastard (that's a clue as to who my favorite Newsradio character is) of a character.  Probably why I also love Doc Martin and Snape.
5. Newsradio
6. M*A*S*H
I think this one was a dead giveaway.  First and foremost, Fr. Mulcahy's the most complex character on M*A*S*H.  We only get rare glimpses of how he deals with the carnage and I think his reactions are the most compelling, given his vocation.  I only wish we saw more of him outside of simply commenting in a kind of third person way on whatever situation is at hand.  And he's adorable. 
7. Law & Order: CI
8. Law & Order: SVU
John Munch is my favorite character.  Yet another in a long line of snarky and sarcastic yet strangely lovable characters in my life.  What's not to love?
9. Coupling
10. Law & Order

 

By the way, I'm offering a prize of an icon per answer you get right.  Is that incentive enough for you to play?

Curse you lunglockand your addictive memes!

Bold the books you've read. Bold and Underline the books you've read more than once. Italicise a book you own but have yet to read/finish. Underline a book you want to read but do not own.

Stolen from lunglock.

1. Open your music library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc.).
2. Put it on shuffle and press play.
3. For every question, type the song that's playing. When you go to a new question, go to the next song.
4. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool.

I really wanted to do this meme, so I figured I'd at least make this post slightly worthwhile and post some icons with it.  Also, there will be more Phantom icons coming soon.  As those who watch 

londonbum will know, I scored some free tickets to Phantom here in London tomorrow night.  So.  Frickin'.  Excited.

Also, I apologize for the shitty quality of these icons.  The only caps I had to work with were taken from the streaming version on ITV1's website.  I don't have any of the series on DVD, so if anyone wants to help me out...

I blame blinkilite for this one.

( MOVIES )

( BOOKS )

I can't stop myself from snagging icon memes (this time from blinkilite).  

It's 5:30 in the morning and I still haven't been able to sleep.  Not sure what's up with that.  I mean, I'm pretty excited about getting to see Gary as the Phantom again, but this is is ri-goddamn-diculous.  So, I bring you this meme.  And I can't remember who I got it from.

Which house would you be sorted into?: Slytherin or Ravenclaw, I would imagine.
Your Boggart: That's actually an interesting question as I've no idea.  I should think it would be some kind of horrid future picture of myself, completely destitute because I flunked out of grad school or something equally as terrifying.
Your Animagus: Is one's animagus indicative of their character?  Rowling never really explained that.  I guess if I could pick one I'd want to be some kind of bird, it would be seem the most logical.
Your Patronus: I've really no idea, how about an alligator?
What Bertie Bots Bean flavor are you?: Not vomit flavored, I'll tell ya that much.  Those things are nasty.
Which character are you most like?: Hermione, without question.
What character would you most like to be like?: Ginny - she seems like she's equally as intelligent as Hermione, but can have a hell of a lot more fun at it.
ONE character you'd hook up with: That's easy - Snape.  No questions asked, thank you.
Favorite canon pairing: I dunno, Tonks and Lupin I guess.
Favorite Non-canon pairing: I'm pretty sure my answers regarding what character I'm most like and the one character I'd hook up with shed some light on this one.  Snape/Hermione...obviously.
Favorite Book: Prisoner of Azkaban, though there are lots of lovely Snape bits in HBP
Favorite Movie: Goblet of Fire - someone's finally figured out how funny the books can be
