Icon meme

Comment on this post. I will choose six userpics from your profile and you will explain what they mean and why you are using them. Post your answers (and this explanation of the meme) in your own journal (if you want) so others can play along.





There Goes a Hairball

I couldn't resist this one. It's just Teh Cute! I decided I needed some non-fandom icons and I just loved it. I tend to use this one when there's been a bit of a faux pas or I'm just generally amused.




Dulce Et Decorum Est.

First of all this is one of my Torchwood icons, coming from one of my favourite episodes with Gwen holding a dead Jack. I just love the composition of it the shot (something TW does well). The quote is really what struck me when I saw it, however, it's the title of my favourite poem by Wilfred Owen. A poem that makes me shiver no matter how many times I read it. It was my default one for a time before I switched back to my K'Immielvr one.




Gerry -- hanging

This came from the Men's Health photo shoot, and well Gerry stripped to the waist hanging from a beam, how could I not use that. Plus I like the way the light falls across his chest.



JB -- Dancing Queen

John Barrowman (Captain Jack in TW) dressed up as a drag queen. Again, unresistable. I think it says a lot about JB and how open and free he is with his sexual orientation. And it's just a really fun icon.



Gerry -- kittie

Gerry + kittie = AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! What else can I say about that? *g*




Damn Fine Year.

I couldn't resist this one when I snagged it. This one's for me. '67 being the year I was born, as well as several friends, so it was indeed a damn fine year.

First, I've wondered about your "Dulce Et Decorum Est" icon myself, not because I didn't recognize the shot, but because I didn't see the quote as fitting it. I think I get it better now, since it sounds like it makes you think of Wilfred Owen's poem. For me it made me frown because I was reading it as "the Old Lie" rather than the repudiation of it. 8-)

Second, pick six, please?

I think what workds for me about the quote with the picture (other than liking the poem) is the sacrifice Jack gave to save the world from Abbadon -- okay, so he's immortal so it wasn't a true sacrifice, but meh -- would go unappreciated by the population he saved. Only Torchwood (and Bilis *g*) would know what he did.

Now the icons.

1. Hard Boiled Bogart
2. Jean-Claude

4. Ceirdwyn Warrior
5. The Crow Real Love
6. Hermits United Tea
