[livejournal.com profile] fernwithy is doing that meme where you say you'll answer any question (within reason).

I forgot how much I like this meme. So go ahead. Ask me a question. Er, I feel the need to qualify this with: I don't know how much time I have tonight, so only ten questions please and thank you; and I might be circumspect in my answers, so as not to give out identifying details.

And behold the new really gold Lion icon.

I was pretty sure that it was the sort of thing that gets asks a lot. But *I* hadn't heard the story yet.

For me it's arches. I always end up taking lots and lots of pictures of arches wherever I travel. Natural arches, architectural arches...I'm fascinated by the shape, and by the fact that each culture and each era has a different sort of arch. And arches are so liminal; they're almost mystical to me, a doorway between here and there. (Whether "there" is another place or another time or another state of mind.)

Anyway, so I totally relate to the fascination (and compulsive picture taking) of a particular image.

Maybe I need some arch icons.

Oh, yes! Arch icons! Absolutely. Sometimes I really fall in love with bridges, especially really unusual ones. I always wonder about them, because they're made for practical purposes, yet sometimes the designer will add little touches, scrollwork, etc., and I think, did they sneak it in? or did everyone want it to be pretty?

I think I've been drawn to bridges since reading The Bridge to Terabithia, even though there is no actual bridge in the book. Just the whole demarcation concept is surreal.

Glad you asked about the lions...I'm certain that one or two people were curious as well.
