icons make the world a better place :)

Just randomly, because I have a headache and therefore am procrastinating about my homework, have a poll about icons :)

I love the people not on my flist who have like 1 or 2 standard ones they use. Because I start associating them completely with their icon. THEY BECOME THE ICON. It's weird, but being able to "recognize" them so easily beyond the name makes them see more familiar to me. I glance down a page of comments and am immediately drawn to read theirs.

This! Only it gets messed up when it's a person sometimes, because when I finally met a couple popslash peeps, it was SO BIZARRE that none of them were Justin Timberlake or Chris Kirkpatrick.

You mean like this? *g*

EXACTLY. THAT WAS YOU FOR LIKE, EVER!

*laughs* Yep. And to be very honest? When I first changed from that one to a Supernatural one? I felt like I was cheating on him, or something. o_O It was terribly disconcerting.

I remember the day you changed! You were all verklempt! I...just realized I almost never use people icons. Weird.

I cannot tell you how many people were really, really surprised when they met me, that I looked nothing like this icon I'm using ;)
