Shitty Icon Meme
Oct. 24th, 2011 02:31 amHeh. I had to do this just so I could show off some of the most heinous crimes to iconing that has ever existed. Ever.
A little background. I started making icons back in 2004/2005. I came at them by way of a norwegian pop group called a-ha (of which I am an amazing geeky fan! I used to be much more into the fandom but am now just a 'normal' fan...) anyway I had a friend in the fandom of a-ha who would make the most amazing wallpapers of the group and I thought, 'I am getting me a piece of this!' She was kind enough to give me some pointers and sent me over to LJ. The whole reason I joined LJ was for the icon making. I fell in love with it! Dumb, huh? Anyways, I puttered about for about a year, thinking I was the dogs bollocks churning out bad icon, after bad icon! LOL Then for a myriad of boring reasons I ended up having a 5 year hiatus from LJ and the internets in general.
I got a new comp recently and was transferring all my data over from various recepticles when I came across all my old icons. It made me nostalgic. All my stuff was still here so I signed back in and I have been in icon heaven for the last 4 months?? Maybe a little longer. I discovered 20in20's and I haven't looked back.
