Reply to this post, and I will tell you my favorite icon of yours. Then post this to your own journal [if you like!] using your own favorite icon.
Actually, I have several favorite icons of my own. The one I used for this is one of them, of course. There are more. (For the sake of sportsmanship, I'm only counting icons I made myself. Except for the kitten; I didn't make the icon, but I did take the photo!)
Edit: ... I could've made that a colourbar. Kind of. ...

In other news, because I've seen other people do this and generally like keeping track of stuff, too, here's a list of books I've read last year. As far as I can remember.
It's kinda disappointing, not even fifty, and that's counting the ones I had to read for term papers and exams and such, too (but I only counted the ones where I read a whole book, not the little essays). I didn't count comics, except for the Sandman books, because they're heavily illustrated novels really.
Anyway.
Bold means it was a re-read.
Italics means I didn't read the entire book.

Neil Gaiman, American Gods
James Peoples & Garrick Bailey, Humanity
Jasper Fforde, The Eyre Affair

Wait ... I will be logging books back and forth during the next few days. Argh.

Date: 2007-01-20 09:25 pm (UTC)Also - well, the books you read last year are more than other people read in their whole lives, even though they could. I don't remember too many of those I read, partly because many were library books and not very good, but might - with your permission - copy that practice of posting a list every month?

It's not really my practice -

no subject
Date: 2007-01-21 02:22 pm (UTC)The page should be Zarorien.de (http://www.zarorien.de), but it isn't saying anything there anyway. Normally, it's the very last Wednesday of the month, so it should be the 31st, though!
