Comment on this post. I'll choose seven userpics from your profile and you'll reply here (or you know, your own journal, whichever), explaining what they mean and why you're using them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so others can play along.

And since I love all my pretty icons, how could I refuse?

It’s a cat with vampire teeth!?

hee, when I piss off my kitty, her mouth will open a bit and I see her fangs. Then I tell her "You're a dragon!"

[baleanoptera]

Hee! Gotta love cats. My oldest cat will sometimes stick his tongue a bit out at the same time as showing his fangs. He ends up looking like a demented vampire.

Also - if you are keen on the icon meme then: kitty, vm_namaste, narutaru, rome_glare, dw_sally_smile, dw_angels_phonebox, whelan_nightmare

Is this the one where you explain the history behind the icons? Ok! I like procrastination.

... which apparently what this post was about (the meme).

gosh, I'm out of it. To the meme! *heads to post*

I've never actually seen Lion in Winter. I should be ashamed of myself, shouldn't I? Oh, and I'm allergic to bees as well. Which is a shame, because I do like them. Wasps are evil, but bees are sort of nice. Except for the allergy part.

Well, now you have the time to do so? *nudge, nudge* I love that film - the dialogue is just wonderful.

Wasps are evil, but bees are sort of nice.

Bees make honey, and I love honey. But wasps are the incarnation of terror.

[baleanoptera]

Oh I would definitely recommend "The Lion in Winter" in is original English. Specifically since the dialogue is so important and some of the puns are almost impossible, IMHO, to translate.

And what I like most: she does not portray the "typical female" but a strong person who does not necessarily have to be rescued and is certainly not a "femme fragile"

I couldn't agree more -and I love how she manages to portray both softness and strength with equal believability.

Oh, and do you want to do the icon meme?
