My pal [livejournal.com profile] rafferty posted a meme yesterday in which, if I commented, he promised to make me a userpic from one of the interests listed in my userinfo. I thought, "What the heck? Why not?!"

This morning I woke up to my prize, and it's perfect! He combined TWO of my interests, AND he added humor! I love it! I would never have thought of it on my own, but it is so great!


"Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr.
Pepper. Even Hermione
gets lost in it."


Thanks so much, Herb! :-D


And now, my dear LJ friends, I will pass on the meme to you:
1) Comment and I'll pick one of your LJ interests and make you an icon.
2) You have no say in what I make.

Depending on how many folks decide to participate, I will not promise that all icons will be made today. Or tomorrow, even. But I will do my very best to get them all out within a week or so.

Here you are, my dear!



and in case you don't want to swear (like me), I made this "alternate" version:

Oh my gosh!! I love it! That happens to be from my favorite Indiana Jones movie and it shows my love of reading. It's great!! I'm thinking I may post this in my journal.

Yay! I'm so glad you like it! :-)

You had a TON of your interests already covered, so it was difficult for me to pick something. I went with Indiana Jones, and then I decided to make something from *MY* favorite of the trilogy. It's taken me the entire last day and a half to download screencaps from the entire movie and then filter down to about 100 that I thought I might use. From there, I ended up choosing one moment in the film that always makes me giggle so hard - the poor librarian stamping his books! I thought you'd like it just as much, and ta-da!

I even watched the movie this afternoon for more inspiration, so this icon has really caused me to do my "homework." It was fun, though, and I'm going to save the rest of these caps and possibly make an entire set of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade icons later on. :-)

I never dreamed you would go and put so much work into this icon. I'll treasure it all the more, and I think I'll have to make some of my own Indiana Jones icons seeing I have only the one you made. ;-)

I'm willing to bet that when it's all said and done, I will have spent more time on your icon than that of anyone else... at least, I hope so! ;-)

You are a true icon artist, so I look forward to anything that you make. I've got LOTS of ideas banging around in my head for an "Indy" set now, but I won't let myself start making any of those until I'm done with these that I've promised folks!

Wow, I am so flattered! :-)

As for being a true icon artist, I like to dabble, and sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. So I really don't think of myself as anything but a novice to the whole thing.

As for Indy icons, I'll have to do that this weekend. I so love my Power DVD and the ability to capture what I want and not just what I can find in someone else's screencaps. :-)
