kassrachel asked me about three icons, since I don't have any interests listed.
'geeks'
Three out of three geeks say "huzzah". I wanted a 'yay'-type icon, and -- I feel like I remember there was a commercial or some animated graphic thing at the time -- gosh, four years ago or so? -- where ninety-nine out of a hundred Helens agreed on something I don't remember what. Whatever it was had nothing to do with Helen of Troy, which was the gimmick, I guess; like, the time it took you to go "huh?" lodged the product in your mind (at least that was the idea; observe that I don't remember [g]), so, funny. And from 99/100 Helens I got to 3/3 geeks, and geeks are practically omnipresent in our fannish source material. The geeks seen here are, of course, Blair Sandburg, Hermione Granger, and Brandon-the-kid-from-Galaxy-Quest. They are all cheering or otherwise expressing approval, so they are all saying "huzzah". Oddly, some time much later I noted somewhere like slashdot or similar that "huzzah" is apparently a particularly geeky thing to say? I wouldn't have thought so, but what do I know. (I'm more of a nerd, evidently.)
'auntie'
This is a slightly manipulated picture of me and NoRMaN, which stands for Not Really My Niece, when she was nine days old. Her mother is one of my best friends from college, and she grew up in one of those families where "aunt" was a title given not just to the parents' sisters and sisters-in-law but also to their very very close female friends. (Those of us who are not related to the baby by blood are calling ourselves aunties, which is slightly distinct from aunts, although we are still Aunt Whoever when names are involved.) Anyway -- love her to pieces, so the icon is for baby-related posts (related to any baby, really).
'chem'
A youngish Alan Rickman as (I have decreed [g]) a youngish Snape, whose subject Potions is more or less chemistry, yeah? It's kind of a reach for a double meaning, or a meaning-and-a-half -- I don't use this icon much, but I've got all these spaces, so there's no need to remove it, really.
