LOL I LOVE THE KEYWORD FOR THAT ICON.

idk it looks like an old chair in a field to me. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

AHAHAHAHAHHA. I kept looking at it all wrong. you know when you spend too much fucking time analyzing something and after awhile you can only view it through the damned kaleidoscope of ~OVERTHINKING~? yeah. yeah. guilty!

DEAR SELF: LIFE IS JUST NOT THAT FUCKING COMPLICATED. IT'S JUST A FUCKING BENCH. DEAL.

um um I like that you added a "WHAT DOES THAT MEAN"! because it gives me an Idea! i think i should totes turn this post into a game of Rorschach ink blot spotting. because then everyone will think i am trying to get to know them, and they'll be so touched they won't notice that I am a giant block of obtuseness. *HEAD/DESK = OTP*

Looks to me like just a random empty chair/bench in the middle of a field/green space. They're more common than you think -- usually in the spring and fall my college puts out Adirondack chairs all over campus, just randomly (though they didn't do it this spring -- wonder why), for people to use whenever.

And it's black and white, so it's probably from a picture that's meant to be ~artistic~. (Not that I don't think it doesn't look good...)

BITCH, ARE YOU RAGGING ON MY ICONS. um, I was going to use a super intimidating one, but all my icons are so benignly sweet they make my teeth hurt. dammit. um. LOOK LOOK I WILL ALLERGY-ATTACK YOU WITH FLOWERS. WHATCHOO GONNA DO BOUT THAT.

ahahahahha yeah. i was looking at it too long and too hard and it started to resemble a fucking bong/blob of indistinct DOOM. oy vey.

I don't think I have the right to rag on anyone's icons, just because I don't have a paid account and most of mine are pretty weeaboo. ;-) (Though allergy-attacking me with flowers would work, seeing as how I get allergies every spring. >_>)

Hey, overanalyzing shit happens. :D Though you should look at the icons that really don't make any sense...

weeaboo! that. is. the greatest. word. ever. watch me begin to use it at every turn! and by "use it," I mean "egregiously abuse it." what the fuck does it mean? (AHA I KNEW IT. Now I'm gonna sic you with LADYBUGS. uh, they may signify good luck, but THOSE CRAWLY LEGS? ONLY SIGNIFY TORTURE. MOO HA HA HA HA.)

I dunno if I've actually come across any that really don't make sense, and I'm sort of afraid to inquire further, if you wanna know the truth.

Weeaboo originally comes from this PBF strip, though it usually refers to people who are extremely obsessed with Japanese anime and manga that they pretty much have no reasoning ability whatsoever. (More sane fans sometimes call themselves "weeaboos" as well, like what I did. I think, looking at my LJ entries so far, you can tell I'm not obsessed. I hope. ^_^;)

(Pssh, I can just flick off ladybugs. GOTTA DO BETTAH THAN THAT MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!)

Yeah, there are icons out there that have left me squinting for a few minutes before my eyes started to cross. Trust me, you don't wanna know either. :/

I... that's a chair, right? In a field? I'M CONFUSED.

help help ellie oh my fucking god i'm going to go insane she won't leave me alone i can't fucking handle this. D: D: D: D: D: and this is rly embarrassing to put in this comment, but you're not on aim and D:

dsbakjdajssdsjk bb I don't really know what you're talking about, but I do not I am getting my ass on AIM right now.

(ALSO, yeah. it's a bench. i am sometimes self-imposedly BLIND. see comment to

likespring for further details.)

sorry. my mom. :(

THAT'S NOT A BENCH THAT'S A CHAIR. I thought it was a girl sitting in a field at first, so hey.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK MY COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS ARE ON THE FRITZ. Today I also realized I spent a full year learning French and remember absolutely none of it! This was after I mistook this picture of a PERSON* for indistinct fuzz. well, actually, I WAS all the way across the room, so on second thought, that one really doesn't count.

BUT THE POINT IS: BEHOLD MY INABILITY TO FOCUS ON ANYTHING. ahahahha I think I'm losing my miiind.

*also, to make matters worse, THAT IS NOT JUST ANY PERSON THAT IS TUNDE MOTHERFUCKING ADEBIMPE. that's like. like. a die-hard Christian failing to recognize Jesus.

DID I EVER TELL YOU ABOUT THE PAINTING OF TREES IN OUR OLD HOUSE'S LIVING ROOM THAT IN WHICH ONE TREE LOOKS LIKE JESUS?

MY DAD LIKES TO SHOW IT TO EVERYBODY.

YEAH.

AHAHAHAHA KITTY KITTY KITTY.

1. it was actually this picture (scroll four sections down and you'll see it. yeah, I'm too lazy to save it to my own server and too guilty to hotlink. ALSO, ngl, I'm secretly hoping you'll absorb how awesome all those featured bands are through, like, osmosis or something and go on an uncharacteristic downloading spree. that would warm the cockles of my little heart. JUST SAYIN.)

2. From this picture, I can conclude one thing: HE IS JESUS. SAL! VAY! SHUN! omfg brb dying laughing.

1. ALAS, I AM NOT THAT EASY. GO READ UNHOLYVERSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. THAT'S MORE OF AN "IDK MY BFF JILL???" POSE AND NOT A "YOU GONNA GET SAEVED!!" POSE.

At first, I thought it was a slab of metal, but now I'm seeing a chair. Maybe it's some hobo's living room.

ahahahahahha. THAT? is the most righteously resplendent interpretation of anything, EVER. you should be an art critic.

... heeeeeeee, i find this amusing, as i actually, uh, made that one. it really is just a chair. or, well, it's from this picture, if that helps the context at all. har har.

also, i don't really care whether or not i'm credited for the chair one, but i'm sort of epically fond of this icon, it was my first colbewart one and it is special and for a while it was unshareable etc etc, so if you could credit me there, that'd be great? :)

HA HA. I didn't even notice till just now, but oh man, most of my icons totally come from you, don't they. Because I just save a shitload and then pick my favorites to use every month or so. and evidently all my favorites derive from you. well, I guess you should be flattered?

The down side to this is that the next time something goes missing in your house, you're going to blame me, aren't you? I STEAL ALL YOUR SHIT :O. now I'm considering trading some out because I'm likely to be mistaken for a

blossomslut impersonator at this point. well, at least I know I have a future in celebrity impersonations. oh baby, wait'll you hear my beyonce impression.

PS: Crediting away! Any others you care about particularly? now that I'm aware they're, like, 99% your stolen property? >D

bwahahaha, nah, gurlfrain, just a handful, and that's totally awesome 'cause it means we're... uh, on the same ~*~wavelength~*~? check it.

DID YOU STEAL MY BLENDER? BITCH I LOVED THAT BLENDER. i would be most interested to see your beyoncé impression, no lie. consider me intrigued.

p.s. thank you! it's silly, i know, but i do love that icon hardcore. i don't really care if you credit the other ones. ♥

Where do you FIND all these gorgeous pictures all the time? You are a magnet for pretty. It is uncanny and v. disconcerting. But not as disconcerting as my Beyoncé impression. My voice could slaughter cattle.

PS: Dude, I can empathize with ridiculous attachments to a degree that is truly piteous. you wanna see what emotional overinvestment looks like? I just heralded the frontman of TV on the Radio as Jesus. yeah. yeah, I got nothin' to say for myself.

I AMASS THEM IN QUANTITY. it's a problem. well, only in that my poor harddrive sometimes cannot handle it.

p.s. HEE. ♥ i've been meaning to listen to more of them for aaages. they were on the report and i liked them a lot. got any song recs?

it looks a bit like a stalker picture with all the blurry leafy things in the foreground. maybe they are stalking an invisible old person in a rocking chair.

or maybe they were too tripped out on acid to realize the chair was empty, so they snapped a picture thinking it was an old person. seriously, what sort of drug would you have to take to STALK an INVISIBLE OLD PERSON? (I ask because I WANT SOME.)

also, current music! love! walka, walka, walka, walk. yeah. we still cool, we still cool, we still cool~

THEY'LL JUST SAAAAAAAY THAAAAAAAAAT WE'RE BEIN LAAAAZY! SEX CRAZED, SEX CRAZED, HAAAAAAAAAAAAZY. I am so psyched for her new album I cannot even parse it. The video for "Laughing With" just made me cream myself.

aldkjflakjf WHERE IS THIS MAGIC VIDEO? DDD:

IT'S A FUCKING LAWNCHAIR YOU FUCKING FUCKFACE

MOTHERFUCKER WHAT THE FUCKSTICK ARE YOU DOIN ON MUH LAWN. GTFO A'FORE I RELEASE THE HOUNDS ON YOU.

YOU MOTHERFUCKING CLIT, THIS ISN'T PRIVATE FUCKING PROPERTY

Okay so let's analyse this shit.

The darkened cloud in the background in front of the chair almost don't look like clouds at all, but more like a human figure. A shadow? A ghost? It's a memory, but the way the figure is broken in the middle suggests that it's a false memory that was never real to begin with. It's ficticious, something made up entirely by the very person looking at the chair. It wouldn't be them sitting in the chair, it would be someone else. His lover, or someone he wishes was his lover.

Looking at it as thought the chair represents a person:
It's a rocking chair in the middle of a grassy field. Rocking chairs are supposed to represent comfort, yet it's in a place it shouldn't be. It doesn't belong outside, and yet it's comfortable there. It shows that a person can be comfortable with not fitting in with the norm. If it's where they feel they belong, they belong there.
At the same time, the angle of the photo makes it seem as though the chair is sliding down a hill. Downwards into unhappiness? Oblivion? The rocking chair might actually be not as comfortable as originally thought. And the fact that it's where it doesn't belong is making it unhappy. It's in black and white, suggesting a melancholy and drab lifestyle. The bleak weather and clouds in the background only add to this.

Shit, Ellie, your icon is made of emo.

...............................

dude, you need to get laid.

Oh sure, be made of cool fruit with everyone else but give the person who took the time to analyse a reply of failjuice.

ahahah jokes. ~~I know I do, STFU.~~

it's clearly phallic.

you have penis envy.
