Question for folks

[fbhjr]

Hi all,
A lot of you new to my friends list have said things to the effect of "ask me some questions".

So, here's a question:

What icon do you like most/use most often and why?

My default is from a fire show my group did a few years ago where it looks like the torch is making my first initial "F", so I made that my default.
What do you folks use?

I don't know which one I've used the most. I tend to pick a default based on whatever I'm thinking at the time I pick it then keep it until a better idea comes along. My most recent default icons have all been made for me by wetdryvac after some bit of weirdness in a post based conversation.

I use my default when I don't think I have an icon that matches the comment (or am just too busy to deal with it) It's currently a pink (my favorite color) heart (who doesn't love love) with my name (so people can identify me!

But I regularly use all of my other icons!

I use this one...because it's a picture of me, grabbed from a video...from my first vocal recital in 25 years...it was kind of a big deal...at least to me!

This is my default. I update it every couple/few years...it's a picture of me, obviously!

This one here has been my go-to forever.

Problem is, I have this permanent account with over 200 icons so now I feel as if I am wasting my money if I don't use them so I am trying to vary.

The cat in this icon is Justice...a cat in a shelter who I thought was adorable. He was later adopted and although I was happy for him, I missed him when I went to spend time with the other cats.

I use the eyeball one for eyeball posts and the Swedish Chef one for cooking...

I don't have a favorite icon; I use one at a time for a few weeks then rotate to a new one when I feel like it. But here's an icon of me doing fire dancing. :)

That's cool! Poi?

[alicia-stardust.livejournal.com]

Yes! I dabbled with long staff and palm torches a bit, but I focused mostly on poi.

I love this one :P

This is my current default - I change it weekly most of the time - depends .. until I get sick of it but I use all my other icons too when appropriate.

My default icon is a fairly recent photo of me (taken for publicity purposes in 2012). I generally have my default icon be an actual photo of myself, so people can see who I am...

But it's not necessarily my most used icon -- or the one I like the most. Years ago I didn't bother with icons that much, which was amusing, as I've always been an icon maker! So the default got used over and over again...

Now I can't seem to have ENOUGH different icons! And I love using a different one depending on the entry I'm posting or the comment I'm making. Fun!

I do use my gold star icon a lot -- it has a dark blue background and a sparkly-star frame in blue. And I have some good cat icons... (smile)

I love icons!

I almost always use this one. It's a crop from a self-portrait I did years ago, in the style of the Lindisfarne Gospels, called "A Modern Scribe". I like it better than anything else I've dallied with as an icon.
