will variations on this meme ever get old? I think not

Choose one of my icons (by keyword) and I'll tell you something about it. Or probably several somethings. In fact, I'll probably natter on a bit, because it turns out I'm a little obsessed with shiny graphics in small sizes.

Icon meme, huzzah! I, too, am rebelliously hotlinking, because living on the edge is important:

It really, really is. How good you are to remind me.

One of my earliest icons! When I first got an lj, I hadn't really gotten into all of my TV fandoms yet, so I was just looking for pretty pictures for my icons. But that one! Is Anne! And it's Prince Edward Island! I feel like it perfectly captures the beauty of those films/books. And I'm a sucker for orange and fall leaves, so that's a bonus. It's just one of my happy places, you know? AoGG.

Gilbert Blythe was the crush of my childhood. I grew up on Anne of Green Gables and dreamed of some pig-headed boy calling me "Carrots." And I had "Lady of Shalott" and "The Highwayman" memorized by age ten simply because Anne did it. And I'm still suspicious of any Anns who don't spell their name with an 'e'.

There are no words to express my love of those books. They make me endlessly, endlessly happy.

BTW, have you heard Loreena McKennitt's versions of "The Lady of Shalott" and "The Highwayman"? I remain convinced that she's a huge Anne fan, especially because she has lovely red hair.

My grandmother's name is Ann, and it drives me endlessly crazy that there's no "e"! It's so much prettier with one!
