exsequarThis meme is such fun. Comment and I'll give you 3 interests on your list and 3 of your icons to explain.

bubbles83:
jared's pink clothes - Jared always seems to be wearing these horrid pink button downs (occasionally joined by Jensen - see icon) with stripes or floral patterns or, on one memorable occasion, BOTH. One of the shirts even made its way into his character's wardrobe one time. Oh, Jared!
shoebox project - The Shoebox Project is a huge fanfic saga about the Marauder period - Harry Potter fandom, but pre-canon. It centers on Remus and Sirius and their friendship and how it very gradually morphs into something more. It's got fantastic illustrations by one of the authors, and basically I love it more than I love the Harry Potter novels themselves. It's hilarious and moving and just incredibly brilliant. "Oops - hello Moonytoes!"
puddlejumpers - Even though the puddlejumpers themselves are kinda clunky looking for cool spaceships (resembling, as one Joe Flanigan has said, nothing so much as a Winnebago) that NAME is simply the cutest and most hilarious thing ever. Yay for Shep!
Ohhh, Matt Saracen. He's a character from Friday Night Lights, and he's suddenly become QB1 (the starting quarterback) for his team, and it's such a huge burden for him to take on. He's got a lot of pressure on his shoulders for other reasons, too, and he's just the sweetest most woobietastic boy eer. I love him.
This was inspired by my desire to have an organic chemistry related icon because I'm a DORK like that, and also Dean Winchester's line "Demons I get. People are CRAZY." I actually think I said it in a conversation with my friend Erin, and I went "That NEEDS to be an icon". And so it was! \o/
Oooh, hottest threesome ever. Especially inmona1347's story Wildcat. The Winchesters plus Faith pretty much blow my mind. Mmph. This icon matches a header I had on my journal for a few months. Yummy!
Asked byshinetastic:
rat intestines - Hee hee. I spent all last summer killing rats, taking out their intestines, dissecting a clean blood vessel from the tissue, and studying said blood vessel. Sounds lovely, right? I became more intimately acquainted with rat intestines than I ever thought to be. And it was actually quite fun!
his dark materials - Oh oh oh. One of my favorite book series of all time, by Philip Pullman. It's such a unique take on fantasy, very critical of organized religion, with vividly painted characters and worlds that you can't help but fall in love with. The end of the third book never fails to reduce me into wracking sobs for a good long time. I love Lyra and Will, the main characters, but I love even more the universe that Pullman paints around them. It's the book that grabs a hold of my heart and imagination and never lets go. The first book is being made into a movie right now, and it looks awesome - I hope it will truly be!
puddlejumpers - Heehee. See above!
HAHAHA. Oh JOHN! Oh RONON! This is one of my favorite scenes of ALL TIME from SGA. Ronon's teaching John a "traditional Satedan sport," claiming that it has to get more challenging after each round, but really he's trying to make John stupid :D They look so goofy and fabulous hopping on one foot, and then Ronon takes John OUT. It's brilliant and hilarious and I love my silly boys so much :D
Ohhh, Ianto. My second favorite character from Torchwood. I just adore this face he makes, and I love how the icon turned out. He and Jack are interrogating a victim here, and this is Ianto's face of "Oooh, that musta hurt". Hee!
NNNNGH JOE. Look how he's STANDING. His hip all shoved out to the side, his head dipped down to reveal that delicious neck, and it's just so graceful and PRETTY and alsogay. Augh I love him so much. *stares forever*

dah-nah-nah dah! is from the very first chapter of Shoebox, when Sirius attempts to convey "In the Mood" on paper. It's much more fun in the
Cafall is the name of the dog in Susan Cooper's The Dark Is Rising series whose name is taken from King Arthur's dog. Some people cry for Old Yeller; I cried for Cafall.
Icon #1: the quote is from the Disney movie Aristocats. Since I use my icons like a mood theme most of the time, this one get used when I've done something enviable. Or when there's a cat involved somehow.
Icon #2: You motivated me to look up the credit for this icon, so thanks for that. Way back in the day this was a t-shirt that said "Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them", which I still see people wearing sometimes. The original icon by
Icon #3 is a quote from Dark Angel about Alec (Jensen's character). I think that pretty much sums it up.

It's very interesting going through everyone's icons and seeing the similarities and overlaps. I think the last three people I've looked at have had an Obama '08 icon!
