Gratuitous Icon Post

[mrissa]

I am not much for Gratuitous Icon Posts, but after I said the line in this icon in frustration in a private discussion, marydell made the icon, and I just have to show it off in delight.

You're both awesome.

[aamcnamara.livejournal.com]

Oh, very nice!

[marydell.livejournal.com]

Yay! Glad you like it.

Now if only I could actually do math...that part of my brain seems to be full of other stuff.

[asciikitty.livejournal.com]

I love it.

An icon made from a graphic rendering of an ASCII kitty is...weird.

And cool!

You're not the only one who said that line in frustration this week! (Hint: 6', size 12 feet, shopping for bridesmaid wear.)

[dd-b.livejournal.com]

Oh, very fine! Good line, good icon.

[wshaffer.livejournal.com]

*applause*

[athenais.livejournal.com]

Most excellent.

[swan-tower.livejournal.com]

I've been known to say it myself. (And that is indeed a splendid icon, well worth showing off.)

[auriaephiala.livejournal.com]

I love it!

[dichroic.livejournal.com]

:-) :-) :-)

Though I confess my challenge is more along the lines of *not* shopping.

[thoughtdancer.livejournal.com]

May I snag that? (I don't have an icon, and that one's great. ;-) )

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

As far as I'm concerned you can, but ask marydell, as she's the one who put in the hard work and creativity to make the thing an icon rather than a rose-colored girlish dream.

[marydell.livejournal.com]

Absolutely fine by me!

[fiddledragon]

I love both the quote and the icon. Thank you for sharing.

[sartorias.livejournal.com]

icon love ! (even if I'd rather scrub floors than do math)

Slide rule icon love!

[roadnotes.livejournal.com]

Excellent icon! (My version would probably say, "Shopping is hard -- let's edit.")

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Reasonable enough, but the original Barbie quote didn't say, "Editing is hard, let's go shopping," so that's why I went the way I did.

[columbina.livejournal.com]

I must now relink this for nonelvis, who is STILL annoyed by that Barbie line lo these many years later.

[careswen.livejournal.com]

Oh good, I was hoping somebody would be able to help you with that. Love it.

[aliseadae]

I like the colorful slide rules particularly.

[marydell.livejournal.com]

They are from the cover of an Isaac Asimov book--"An Easy Introduction to the Slide Rule"--for extra geekiness. :)

Shopping is definitely harder than math - it involves math and logic, decision trees, supply and demand, a constant balancing of wants and needs and scarcity, strategy, and a healthy gift of dumb luck. Not for the faint of heart.
