So, we just watched the best movie ever.

And by best, I mean I shit my pants.

Number of times I seriously considered throwing up during this movie = 5.

Not because it was gruesome and bloody per-say, but mostly because my stomach was so twisted into knots with anxiety.

Oh. Right. "What movie?" you ask.

Frozen.

Frozen starred Shawn Ashmore of X-Men fame and Emma Bell, who you may have recently seen in The Walking Dead. And some other guy. It is the movie about the three people who are on the last run on the ski lift and the people forget they are up there and shut it off and then a storm comes and they are stuck up there on the lift.

Sound messed up? Oh, you have no idea. It got so much worse than that. So. Much. Worse.

Go watch it. You will freak the fuck out, but it will be so worth it. Seriously. Way better than I expected it to be.

Also, we watched it through our Streaming Live of Netflix through the Tivo!!! Oh my, Tivo, I love you. I also spent two hours loading our Season Pass Manager and our wish list - (I added Mark Salling, in case he ever, idk, goes on Jimmy Fallon and sings and plays the guitar with Jimmy, who is a huge Glee dork btw. I mean, if I were Glee PR, I would totally do that...so it could happen.)

In other news, I am having an icon dilemma.

See, originally when I named my icons, I wanted to make sure that once they were on my computer, I didn't forget who had made them, so I could properly credit. But when I uploaded them, it didn't occur to me to change the names first - so now I have icons named things like, example: "misc ballerina-tomycoffee" <--tomycoffee being the person who made it.

Except I have filled up about half of my icon space and I still have like twice as many icons in my folder on my computer and I WANT THEM ALL! So I thought, "Well, I'll just change their names to things like "dance icon" and "movie icon" and "angry icon" - you know and then just keep a list of the icon creator someplace separate.

No problem, right? Then when I switch out my Coach Sue You Suck icon for my Michael Will Kick Your Fucking Ass icon, it won't matter - because they will still both be named "angry icon" and it will just replace one with the other.

Genius, right? (Actually someone suggested this to me many months ago but I was all, "On no, I already have 27 icons uploaded, I can't change it now." - 27 icons, I scoff at you now.)

But my dilemma is, that for all the comments I have ever made up to this point - (and ya'll know I talk a lot to you mo-fos) - they will all just be replaced with my default icon. Which really bugs me. When I'm looking at a thread and someone is going, "Jensen is so cute in your icon," and it's a picture of a frog - before I understood why that happened with icons, I would just sit there and stare stupidly and wonder why all these people seem to think Jensen is a frog.

So I can go back through my posts and edit the icons, but I can't do it on all my comments and I guess the big question is: Do I scrap all the icons from the last 8 months in favor of organization?

Hmmm, when I say the word organization, a voice pops into my head - (I think it is my sister's voice honestly) - and says, "There is nothing that isn't worth it, if it means you will be organized."

But do I really believe that?

What would you do, oh great Flist?

In Sum: The cable guy asked me today if my sister's cat "Pippin" was named after Scottie Pippen. I said, "Um, no, like Pippin from the Lord of the Rings" and he burst out laughing and said, "Oh my god, you should see your face. You're all like, no, who the hell is Scottie Pippen?"

In Sum #2: Jensen would make an adorable frog.

Edited - so that I'm perfectly clear: Frozen is a gruesome, bloody movie, but that's not why I found it so terrifying. Just FYI though, don't eat during it.

In future, never use a default icon. Instead, always pick a specific one. Beyond that, I got nothin'. Except that Frozen would probably give me nightmares and I will pass, thank you very much. :) (I feel the same way about the kidnapped Ryan Reynolds In A Coffin movie, the name of which I can't recall.)

"In Sum #2: Jensen would make an adorable frog."

That line cracked me up so bad! God, he WOULD make an adorable frog! Now I need him doing voiceover for an animated frog or something.

I'm impressed that you enjoyed Frozen so much. I was thinking of watching it too. After this endorsement, it's become a must-see. *g*

Re: icons
Well, you know that I'm an anal retentive organization freak, so Dean (who is totally not an anal retentive organization freak but he would agree with me on this) and I both say: "SUCK IT UP!" Edit the icons on your posts if you must (you're still under 200 posts right?) but let the comments go and start from scratch. Get it right, this time!

I should've shared with you my icon system months ago, but I got lazy and assumed that you'd figure something out. My bad. Use the keywords to help you identify the icon and keep the name of the icon maker in the 'Comment' category underneath the Keyword. My system is obviously more complex than that, but that's the basic rule.

Like [livejournal.com profile] vikingprincess, I don't have a default icon either (except for the purposes of having an icon on my profile page). When posting and commenting, I always choose a specific icon.

And can you imagine that I have two sets of icons? One for this journal and one for [livejournal.com profile] menel. My big dilemma used to be deciding which journal a particular icon ended up at, but that's gotten much easier over time.

Good luck to you!

I haven't heard of 'Frozen', it must have not come out here yet, but now I'm intiriged.

As for your icon dilemma, I really feel for you, I'm annoyed at my icons too lol. However, I'm pretty much the most indecisive person in the world and alas I cannot help. :(
But good luck!!

Now I feel all unorganized. I don't have any system for my icons and you've made me think maybe I should. crap. I will say, yeah, put the maker's name in the comments section and don't worry about the icons on comments. That way possibly leads to madness.

Also, I change up my default icon sorta regular. Mostly cuz I often answer comments from my e-mail and I don't get a choose icon option there. Plus, I just like to change it.
