Your refund for ICANN fee overpayment

[carmen_lj]

An exciting email about paying too much for my website! Hurrah says I! We have reduced our registration fees and owe you money says email! Hurrah says I!

Here is your six cents, says email!

Boo. I was all excited for, like, three seconds.

Anyways, here is an Exciting Meme because I have not done a meme for forever.

Comment and I will give you 3 interests on your list, and 3 icons,for you to explain. Then you must post the answers in your own journal and allow others to comment.

Here is what nostalgia_lj gave self:

highway 61 - my favourite Dylan album. I am a Dylan!cliche, sadly.
wandering aimlessly - from when I lived in Edinburgh. I have an appalling sense of direction and that was my way of finding stuff. IT DOESN'T WORK.
fred the cybermat - an in-joke from the OG. There's a regular game of Survivor in the Timelash forum, and it's built up over the years to include a lot of side-games and, um, guest stars, like Peter Cushing, and that porter dude from Spearhead in Space and Fred, a Cybermat. He even has his own page in the Survivor wiki, cause it's that sort of a nauseatingly cliquey forum game. (Er, I do love it though.)

because stories are better when there aren't. Or I like them better, at any rate. Also it had a pretty drawing on it, yes. I have no idea where it's from, because I do go aforaging for icons and am shallow at things that are pretty to me.

from Men in Black! Because it amused me and Will Smith was right: little Tiffany did deserve to die. There's probably a deep message in there somewhere.

a quote from Black Books when Bernard is faced with a decision and has been given only two equally irritating choices. There are many, many quotable Black Books lines, but I feel this one constantly amuses me and is terribly versatile, yes.

soulpuppetry, detective conan, millar licks goats

Interests
soulpuppetry
Who's
hand is up your ass? (http://mooncalf.rydia.net/soulpuppetry/puppetshow.html) It was a bit someone blogged about the proliferation of "soulbonds" on the internet. I liked the concept and kept it around as an interest because the term explained very well what goes on when I write. Also, because it's a funny idea.

detective conan
It's a terrible, terrible kid's anime. It's about this teenage detective (the "modern day Sherlock Holmes") who, in the first episode, watches two shady guys in black do illegal stuff and promptly gets caught. Instead of shooting him, though, they give him an experimental drug and leave him to die. Instead it turns him into an eight year old kid. He runs around as an eight year old solving mysteries. It's hilarious and pretty fun to watch. Also, the damn thing is going on 400 episodes and the guy still hasn't found a cure.

millar licks goats
That's actually truncated. The full phrase is "Mark Millar licks goats". Recently Marvel had this ubermegacrossover, Civil War, written and organized by Mark Millar. All the crossover books had a cover that loked like this (http://www.cbgxtra.com/Portals/1/BG_Images/Civil%20War%201%20cover.jpg").
Nextwave, a parody comic written by warrenellis, decided to parody (http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/09/NWcvr011.jpg)
the Civil War covers. The top part of the image had the main characters holding up signs-- one of which had the aforementioned quote.
Since I think Mark Millar can't write worth bubkis, the comment describes pretty well my feelings towards him and anything he writes.


This one was made by harlecerule for one of those "comment and I'll make an icon based on your interests" memes. Ths interest was In Nomine, wich is a tabletop RPG about angels and demons-- one of the angel types looks like a bunch of interconnected rings of fire, and is known to be a bit hyperactive. Apparently Harle thought it fit.


I ganked the template for this from someone on journalfen during some discussion or other of slash and how it was destroying fandom. I had the template tucked away until I got bored and made a bunch of icons for the antiyaoi community. Most of them ended up sucking, but I use this one and the "that's sodomy" icon in that community on a semi-regular basis.


It's one of domlandbubbles's icons. Itachi's an evil, murdering sumbitch, which is why I like the sort of incongruous caption. It makes him seem like a warm, fuzzy, evil murdering sumbitch. Also the beady eyed stare is useful for when I can't find an icon for the particular emotion that should go with a comment.
