it's that time of year / whentheworldfallsinlove ev'ry song you hear / seems to say

[themeletor]

so, some may remember from last year the CHRISTMAS ICON REQUEST THINGEE!

I do. it was fun. i'mma do it again, k.

so here's the deal:

open to: everyone. don't even have to be on my flist. but, you know, it'd be nice if I knew you from somewhere or another.
starting: now! asap! let's get this show on the road!
ending: I'll probably stop taking requests a few days before Christmas. that way I can get all the icons out before the Big Day.
here's what you do:
reply here. give me a character, person, critter, image, idea, WHATNOT (if I don't think I can do it with what you've given me I'll tell you); and a Christmas carol/Christmassy song. you don't have to actually -give- me the song, just the title, but I'd be HAPPY to be given mp3s... my Christmas music is so not much now that I'm away from house, WI and also not in the BA Christmas Concert. it's sad. (songs I really really miss are listed at the bottom of the post)
here's what I do:
make the icon. post it... somewhere; find you and direct you to it. it is then yours. you are not obliged to share it.

ON THAT NOTE, LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT THE ICON PERSONALIZED (your name, nickname, or username on it) OR NOT. or if there's other, non-Christmas-song-text you want, instead of (or in addition to) the Christmas song text. I'll probably say ok, especially if I like you, but I reserve the right to say no, nope, nuh-uh, and/or no fucking way.

please request; it was a blast; I'd like to do it again

examples from last year are here. they belong to jenlan, captain_molly, drbillbongo, kingsleygirl, silverjet747, daughtermestizo, and elizile. therefore look but don't touch.

ASK AWAY! and fandom, any person, any thingee, whatever. let's do it!

<3s,
Mel


**songs I really wish I had: Christmas Waltz, Christians Be Joyful (Bach Christmas chorale dealie -- I miss it SO HARD), Adeste Fideles, excerpts from Handel's Messiah, Hard Candy Christmas, Tender Tennesee Christmas, Need A Little Christmas, Silver Bells, White Christmas with the whole intro, You're a Mean One Mister Grinch, I Don't Remember Christmas, 'Twas The Night Before Christmas, Carol of the Bells, Noel Nouvelet, Jesu Bambino, Patapan, ANYTHING ELSE WE'VE DONE AT BROOKFIELD ACADEMY CONCERTS (like I'm thinking I would kill for even junk off the CDs). omg please... it is sad how much I really want to hear this stuff.

I have "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby. I think it's the whole thine. I have some Silver Bells. . . I think. I'll look when I get home. Also. Icon. I will be requesting because you're fabulous.

[meletor-et-al.livejournal.com]

what I'm specifically looking for is a version with the lines I posted to shrieking_ell's comment earlier. not to be bitchy -- it's that I have the Crosby version everybody's got (it's one of my FEW) but the version with those lines is the one I've performed a bajillion times and GODS I MISS IT.

yes. I will remind you to get your scrawny butt back here and request. because you had me making a pretty icon last year, with which I am still happy. and last time you said you'd stop back here later? you didn't. *fake scowl*

[captain-molly.livejournal.com]

*snort* I know, I just didn't have a chance—been uber-busy going crazy, you know? As far as the icon goes. . .give me a bit to find some drool/sex-worthy photo. :)

*uses naked icon to distract*

*is successfully distracted* mollysaidwhat?

I know, 's cool. thing's probably off YSI by now, though, so if you still want to catch it some time you'll have to let me know. re: icon, ok, ok, I'll wait... but I will NOT be patient!

*heart*

Ryan Donowho (see ryandonowho for photos). Because he's that skinny, punky, pretty that I like. And he's a Texan. See the icon I have? That's him. But I made the icon, therefore it sucks. But I adore those pictures of him. Especially this one and this one with his hair up.

He's so cute.

How about "I'll Be Home For Christmas"?

I love you, babe.

[meletor-et-al.livejournal.com]

has anyone ever told the dude he looks ridiculously like Keira Knightley? also I feel retarded for saying that, because you're probably thinking "she says everyone looks like Keira," but no -- just this guy, and you with some hair colors. and since I just spent the past 2 hours watching her (P&P3)... yeah.

okedoke! you're on the list!
(there is no list...I need to make one)

[captain-molly.livejournal.com]

This one is also quite nice. I'll stop now.

[captain-molly.livejournal.com]

DAMMIT, WTF WITH MY LINKING ABILITIES?

It's here.

[meletor-et-al.livejournal.com]

molly. darling. you're insane.

but I love you.
*heart*

[captain-molly.livejournal.com]

. . . blame it on the lack of sleep?

Or the porn that is your icon?

[meletor-et-al.livejournal.com]

OR YOURS OMFG.

my god I have such a crush on that icon but you knew that already and that's why you used it, BITCH!

[captain-molly.livejournal.com]
