Fanpop Users Why did you choose the icon you did?

maybeastarbucks posted on Jul 15, 2007 at 09:20PM
Hello, all. I chose this one because when I'm on fanpop I almost feel like I have no life and I hold my head in my hands. Then I look up and think of a great pick idea. I was wondering why you chose yours? By the way, this is not a picture of me. I just googled Sad Guy Pictures.

I change my profile portrait every month. Each month I try to come up with one that is significantly different (in time period, in appearance, in composition, or any combination of these) from the previous one, but they are always pictures of me.

Incidentally, I liked your old icon. Any chance you'll post it here so that other users can remember you from it?

I travel for a living so I thought this hotel shot was fitting to my personality and lifestyle.

You can see my old icon link.
I chose that one because I just thought it was a funny picture.

This one is a picture of me I took when I found my camera again.

Much like Harold, I like to change my image about monthly , but mine is to show what I'm currently 'most buzzed' about. First it was comics, it was a good month for me, so I chose Namor, the next month or so it was Doctor Who Season 3 ending, and this month I'm on a MASSIVE Final Fantasy IX geek-off with myself, thus I chose Zidane :)

This one's been mine from the start. It's a picture of me in France, just outside Paris. Taken a year ago, so I look slightly younger than I do now.

I chose it simply because it's a halfway-decent picture of me!

It's me. Someone else caught the spontaneous pose, and while I like it, I altered the colors/brightness/tinting of the picture to make it a little more quirky.

Fanpop is sort of like my office (I'm one of the 4 fanpop worker-bees), so I figure I might as well have a picture of my kids on my virtual "desk" at work!

i chose to put a pic of me as my icon because it is my mum's fav pic of me and i do believe it is the only picture where i am actually looking at the camera without pulling a stupid face.

i still cant decide on an icon! i constantly change mine....

if i watch a movie i like, i'll change my picture to a character from it, if im watching a show i like, i'll change it....

i dont think i'll ever decide on just one!

At first I had a picture of myself. This one is a picture of my nephew, who I love to death.

My picture (and username) are taken from season 5 episode 21 of scrubs when the jantor invents the knifewrench, originally I hoped it would be animated but it seems icons don't work like that. I'm not feeling too good at the moment so I shall continue this message in the morning.

_________________________________________­___­___­___­___­___­___­

I've occasionally thought of uploading a picture of myself but I like having a username relevant to my picture. I could create a knifewrench and take a photo of myself holding it.

Thank you everyone for reading my annoying thought procceses concerning my icon

I just felt like changing mine after watching the episode of family guy where Stewie says:"If Cookie Monster calls tell him I'm not talking to him until he gets out of Rehab".I couldn't get any pictures of the family guy cookie monster so I got the real one.

A doonis is a weird creature that me and my friend made up a long time ago, and a few years ago we decided to wear costumes of them to our school for Halloween (yes, we looked very weird). So, anyway, I decided to use the username doonis, and my picture is of me wearing my doonis costume :)

Mine is a Snow Duck I made at Uni... its about 5 feet tall and took ages to build, thats not really an answer though.... I would put a pic of me up, but I like to keep an air of mystery.....

I know I said a while back that I'd never change my icon, but this was too priceless to pass up.

i saw a t-shirt once that said "Elvis Who?" on it and i thought i'd make my own "Godzilla Who?" one :) lol

Mine is one of my senior pictures from October 2004. I'm actually debating on changing it to a funny face picture(of me), a picture of my son or leaving it....
over a year ago Ravenclaw12 said…
i love mine because i am a really big Harry Potter fan!! i also think that Ron and Hermione are so perfect for eachother so i have this icon!!!!!!!! it took me a while to decide because i have alot of pics of Ron and Hermione together. i like this one the best though!
over a year ago maybeastarbucks said…
Another new icon from maybeastarbucks? Could it be? Yup, you've seen right. This is one of Milhouse Van Houten of the Simpsons screaming, "I'm freaking out!" I chose it because it makes me laugh every time I see it.

This one is one I found online and i though it was really funny

Mine is a picture of me, under the duvet, taken by my friends when we went to Irish college in my last year of school. It has bright pretty colours. I'm easily pleased.

I'm in love with Pushing Daisies at the moment.
Someone else used the same icon as me (the Jim one) and I kept getting confused on whether i had commented something or not so i changed it lol.
over a year ago emirc2363 said…
I picked this icon because Michael Scott is hilarious, and seeing this picture just reminds me of how amazing he is.

It's my favorite character from a very unknown game that i happen to love.
(Points to anyone that recognizes it)
