I may have mentioned that the builders are modernising some of the houses on my estate. Well they must have started on a house close to mine because they've been banging all damn morning.

But I will be calm and think of nice things....*drags mind from gutter* Okay, calm now.

I'm being spammy today, sorry. But it's cold and raining so I'm staying in. So I thought I'd do an icon meme, because I love those. This is gakked from english_muffin



Choose ten of your favourite icons and tell its story. Or, alternatively state why you like them as much as you do. Or both.



I have to start with my default as I love it to bits. I may have a kink about Chris' braces....oh what the hell, I do have a kink about them. I've saved every picture I can find when he had to wear them. When he smiles and you can see them I melt into goo. Combine it with the hair back then and I'm gone. I'm aware that finding braces a turn on may be weird but trust me, I do *g* Just be thankful I didn't tell you about the kissing thing ;) That icon will never be rotated out.



One of my first MX icons. I can't find the first one I had on here, it must be hidden in the sparkly people somewhere. But yeah, it's Brennan's hand and he's charging up. What's not to love about it?



My penguins. They come out when I'm dishing out long distance hugs. I collect penguin pete pictures and one day I was looking for a pic to make into an icon for hugs. There was a perfect one on my wall upstairs and I decided to look for it online and found it. Result being my penguins.



Blair. The fandom I first wrote in and one I still do write in, if not as often. I like this one because of his face, he does look shocked even if you know what context the picture really is in. Plus, that jumper is fantastic, he never wore anything like that again and that's a shame. The text is because we all know Jim wants to do him, man, it's practically canon!



My first popslash nsync icon, so it's special. The picture is in loads of other icons but I love it. It's all soft focus and Lance's hand on Chris' shoulder kills me.



I'll tell you a story. Once there was a girl called Terri, she loved BSB but didn't tell anyone, see she was scared she'd be mocked and used to read rps in secret and told only one person. One day she admitted she liked BSB and wrote something, a little BSB story and posted it on LJ, nearly throwing up when she posted it. Some people liked it so she thought she should make a BSB icon. Now she'd had a crush on Kevin for years so he was the logical choice. So this was the first popslash icon ever.

The story goes on like this. One day she posts in rhianne_jehane's LJ how she likes BSB but not nsync. There were too many sync stories and not enough BSB. And it was true, so one day she read a cross over and needed to see a picture of this Chris person. Fast forward to now and the thought of not liking nsync makes her shiver and her thing for Chris grows every day. Let that be a warning to you all. Don't let the guard down round the Kirkpatrick because he'll strike, and you'll end up with 3825437038 icons of him, like this *g*



There was a meme thing going round LJ a few months ago about 'this is sex' I chose Chris' eye because...do I really have to explain? Look at it. I could drown in there!



I tend to use this one a lot too. I just love the look of it, the set of his mouth, the hair, the goggles, all offset by the sun at the front. I like to think he's about to say WTF are you looking at?



And another of my favourites. The patch of sun beaming down is beautiful and I love how Chris is looking up, at Lance I think ;) I made this the same time as the last one and tend to use it when things people do make me happy.



My latest icon. You may have noticed I YAY a lot *g* So I needed Chip to help convey that YAY! Plus, it let me play with my new toys.

That was fun, but it was hard just choosing 10.

Don't let the guard down round the Kirkpatrick because he'll strike that's pretty much how I got here ;)

You have very purdy icons.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one to be snared by Chris.

Sometimes I'm amazed that I'm obsessed with a band that's aimed at people twenty years younger than me and not only that but a band that was never really that popular here. Then I look at them and think screw that, look how pretty and slashy they are. (/shallow moment)

You have very purdy icons

Thank you!

I was watching a British show called "House Invaders" the other day, and the woman whose house they were in had a picture of the penguins from your icon (though the shot they showed of it was too fast to see if they were in the same pose) and I was all, "Oh! Oh! Terri's icon! Oh!" And then I laughed at myself, because I was seriously SO excited about it.

Lol, I know that show.

I love that story, it's nice to know my penguins make an impression. Penguin Pete is fantastic, so you should be excited *g*

And just for you, the penguins :)

I really love your default - it is so recognizably you. :)

And your new Yay! icon is fantastic. I adore this meme.
