I'm gonna crowdsource this one.

A question arises with my revitalized LJ use: what should I do with my icons

You could always be a hipster and get a bunch of meaningful stock icons.

I'm already a hipster. Just look at my FB. ;x

i was also going to say add some stick photo or a few anime icons from your favorite series,tv show,or movies.

Problem is that I've grown so used to emoting through a single character. D:

[kurai_no_cho]

well there are anime icon communities that do themes were they do a pic for certain emotions. if i scroll through any, i will post the link and you can find anything you like.

I remember others... vaguely. I could probably unearth them if I tried. =)

I used to hate when people changed them. It'd take me forever to know who the heck I was reading because I associated people with their icons not their name.

Probably you're safe using them for another ten years or so. After that you might wanna rethink them. =P

Even worse than people who kept switching icons -- people who kept switching journals! I recall people who used rename tokens on their accounts three, four or five times. I could not fathom allocating that much disposable income to such a trivial thing, especially with that turnover rate.

You might be right. If I replace them with anything, it'll probably still be Leo from VG Cats. Just not only his Link iterations. :Y
