icons.
I have no willpower.
That is all.
ETA: Okay. Waaaay too much drama has been going on lately. I have only to say that:
People! They are 100x100 pixel boxes!
Or even less than that. I get that icon makers put lots of effort into their work-- I love to make icons and I sometimes spend ridiculous amounts of time fiddling with them. Fitting beauty into a tiny box is a strange little artform all it's own. But for godssakes. It's a tiny box. Let's not get all bent out of shape over it.
Taking lots of time on an icon to make it beautiful is fine. It shows you're creative and you care about your work. Basing your emotional well-being on its success/feedback is not.
Feedback is lovely. I admit that. But these contests and such need to be taken with a grain of salt. Competition has overshadowed their purpose, and that's kind of sad.

Look at all the hot gay boys. Women? Huh? There are women??
That is all.
