Salomonic decision
Okay, in the end I decided, regarding the birthday presents, to choose both XDDDDD Atta Gemini, girl. Well, actually, I was going to go with the books, but I found a cheap console on eBay for 100€ (the retail price here is, always, 150€ so even with the shipping expenses I'm saving 40 bucks). Did I mention it's BLACK? Because you wouldn't believe the complications I'm going through because I'm refusing to buy it white or pink. And the seller is including a protection bag/slip/case/something so it's cool.
So it'll end up being:
- the Nintendo DS, BLACK (110) <- will send money on Monday
- Monty Python's Flying Circus DVD boxset (40) <- bought it yesterday~
- probably one of the cheapest DS videogames (>= 30)
And the rest I'm saving it so I can buy on July:
- the bloody Harry Potter book (knowing El Corte Inglés, around 25 or more)
- the Okami artbook (SQUEEEEE!) (19£ which is about 27)
- since I'm getting something in Amazon anyway, the first two Slayers novels (I'm guessing around 9-10£ for the two of them; can't remember right now)
I think it's balanced ^_^
Look at your LJ userpics list. If you have fewer than 50 icons, pick every fifth one. If you have between fifty and seventy-five icons, pick every seventh one. If you have over seventy-five icons, pick every tenth one. If you have fewer than ten, pick all of 'em. List them on your LJ, and tell everyone exactly why you have it, why it's interesting to you, what significance does it have.

fma_icons (and it won first or second, actually!). When the FMA fandom was more lively, you could see the crackiest pairings around, to a mind-boggling point. Actually, there's still some crack but not so strong. Besides, there was a time in which I'd found the most batshit pro-Elricest fangirls on a board I used to be a mod for. I can tell you, the Latin fandom is a scary place. This was my icon to bitch the fandom out. Now I keep it because I still love it, and it's so true.

I LOVE this icon. I love the text, the way it turned out, the purple. It might look too simple for the good iconists these days, but I love it. And Clow looks pretty in both images.

"No rain" by Blind Melon is my Yukito song. The lyrics are from it, of course. There's something ethereal about this thing, and I like that.

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Well, it IS true! He deceived ME too! It's my icon to mock around when the fandom forgets Eriol is not 12 in the original canon. If you're curious, he'd be physically around 43 had he grown up, and that's not counting the accumulated centennial mental age inherited from Clow. Scary shit, really. Not quite as much as Guru Clef, though.

*facepalm* Meme, you can start picking non-CCS icons soon, eh? Okay, well. Clow Reed has a lot of relatives, descendants, reincarnations, sentient creatures made by him, and so on. So really, that guy is like milk or something. So if Clow was a trademark, he'd be the Coca-Cola Company.

You have a lot of CCS icons, apparently?! You can explain one of your new icons anyway...!
no subject
Maybe it's an European thing?But according to the Wiki, there are also black DSs in America. So probably pink could be more popular in your circle *shrugs* I don't like the pink one, it looks like it's covered in Pepto Bismol.I do have quite a lot of Card Captor Sakura icons (like the one I'm using! :OOOO OMG NO WAI), because after all it's one of the fandoms I'm most active in. But they're ALL of minor characters because I'm like that.
no subject
Someone would argue that for Yukito (because when would a SUE ever settle for being a MINOR CHARACTER?!). And then there's Eriol's character status in fanfiction... but it's probably best not to talk about the fandom-at-large, especially concerning him...
no subject
Because you know, if someone asks me, I totally say Clow and Eriol are main characters...And if you check 90% of an icon post with CCS icons, it's a MIRACLE when someone icons other than Sakura or Tomoyo or Li.

Oh, I know (http://www.journalfen.net/users/sockpuppet_rat/13954.html?thread=119682#t119682). It's why we all wait so eagerly for your icon posts.
