Regarding icons.
14 years ago
General
As a general rule, if your avatar here on FA is a close-up of your character's groin/backside I am going to find it very difficult to take you seriously. I know, it's a lousy way to judge someone's opinion on quantum mechanics but it just feels, to me, like you're standing there wagging your bits at me while we chat.
Not to say we should all have photographic icons depicting our favourite Nobel prize winners or astrophysicists (there aren't enough Carl Sagan icons for us all) but to some degree, what you put forth in an avatar is going to colour how I picture you while talking online. Because I can't see you. Naturally, this means you're free to imagine me as a 20cm tall maniacally-laughing cartoon owl and, in turn, not take me very seriously... But I don't often try to be taken seriously, so I'm totally okay with that. That said, you should all read this journal with this image in mind :}
Oh, and please fall over yourselves admiring my new icon - airu did a kickin' job.
Thank you.

I like this journal.
I just don't even. Why would you want that to be a representation of yourself? I know furries and class don't tend to co-exist terribly well, but really. And lots of people pay for these things and they're usually just palette swaps anyway. But I see butt icons all over the place... aren't they banned now, actually? I could have sworn there was a new rule about that.
I imagine those sorts of icons are really handy to the type of person who might roleplay sex in submissions. Often other peoples' submissions :|
For some reason, instead of thinking of facepalming, I remembered that Calvin & Hobbes comic where Calvin falls down the stairs and he says to his mom "Yep, that's me, the human slinky."
Lack of sleep is FUN.
YES. THE MST3K VERSION. ESPECIALLY THE MST3K VERSION.
So if you're wanting an impression by icons, what on earth does mine say to you this time since its a little different to my normal icons?
Taken this way, some things are down right frightening
It was just a silly journal about a silly thought... It's almost 3am here and I'm having rather a few silly thoughts.
And am very happy about it, as you can see! :>
Just... I don't wanna seem judgemental... everyone has a right to have whatever they want. It's just, that's what you use to represent yourself and my mind's going to read too much into it ^^;
And it's also okay to not be impressed when their first act is to LITERALLY "present" themselves to you.
Oh well. There's no arguing with sex-crazed furries, I guess XD
Appropriateness 101 should be a class :|
Though now that I think of it, it might be hard to hold a conversation with an otter that seems to be running away from the chat..
Honestly though, having tea with a tiny cartoon owl that may or may not burst into maniacal laughter seems like it'd be a great way to spend an evening~
And I used to hold tea parties *v* With petit fours, scones, whipped cream and jams... I should do it again some time. They are such fun. They also tend to degrade quickly with furries into (at best) discussing drama or (at worst) looking up the names of the cakes we're eating on Urban Dictionary to see if they have a gross double meaning.
I just don't find the ass/breast icons to be very tasteful. I would, however, shamelessly animate some if it somehow got me money.
If I was animating ass like this I don't think I'd mind either:

Gotta love Genndy Tartokovsky. I noticed this show of his had a lot of ass shots and it's kinda funny.
As for the video... I... um... wut? ovo
You like this!
Or you could click that and pretend it does something.
...and yes, I spelled it right, dammit. In my world >_>;
Wait. Is this not how people socialise outside of the internet? It would certainly explain all those run-ins with the police.
I do hope this doesn't affect our longstanding friendship!
Also you look like an owl.
/has no icon yet, muhaha
Meanwhile, why do you look so evil all of a sudden.
I thought owls were cute feather balls!
