Frozen - Really, we were all yelling at the TV - shouting out things they needed to do - "Use your ski pole" - "Throw your snowboard!" - and then coming up with solutions for how to get off the mountain and then yelling at them some more when they weren't doing what we said! Maybe it just hit a certain trigger or button in me - but if so, it hit one in The BFF and The Sister too, so...yes, watch Frozen, be prepared to be disturbed though.
Icons - Well, I figured out the keywords pretty early on, I've just been too lazy to do it. But when The BFF loaded up my icons for me - when she made the journal in the first place - they had the person's name on them still, so I just figured that was how you credited and moved on. But when I got my paid account (3 months after I got the journal) I went looking for more icons and suddenly realized I was doing it all wrong. I should have overhauled then, but again...lazy.
Yeah, I never use my default icon anymore. Every once in awhile I used to use it when I was just talking to someone about real life or something that didn't require a specific icon, but now I use my Alison Lohman icon when I am doing that, so the default icon is just for my representation.
So - how do you do it with your icons? I thought I would sort my icons on my computer into folders like, "Dance", "Horror", "Jensen" etc - upload one from each - and then just rotate them out occasionally. What do you do? Tell me in detail. I am making decisions - it is hard.
Ha! I know you have two sets of icons - I've heard you waxing on about which icons should go in which journal. I can't imagine having to make such decisions. I can barely make decisions on one journal! Though, I keep wondering if I should have a fic journal too. Do you pay for both your journals? Right now I have like 20 fics up, but if I get all my stories up this year that I want to, it'll be more than a hundred. Hmmm, decision for another day, I suppose.
Thanks for the advice - icons are too damn shiny for their own good!
