I changed my default icon to this new one.

Many people didn't get the "Delta bad hand" on the old one, and I also decided it was a bit negative, so I've gone for a wordless Vila picture. I made three of them but I decided I liked this one best, and the colours turned out to match my layout quite well which was a bonus.

[Edit] I still have "Delta bad hand" and will continue to use it. It might even have more impact when it's not there out of sheer laziness.

And I finally have my brains_in_a_jar story complete in my head so it's time to start writing. Yay, hard SF!

That's a nice picture of him.

I've always thought that 'Delta bad hand' was quite funny, but I see what you mean about it as a default. Words can tie an icon down to a particular mood/sense, and you don't always want that.

I still have the Delta one and will use it when appropriate. :-)

I feel a bit sad changing it because I've had it as default since I joined LJ, but the meaning gets a bit diluted too if it's used too often. Now it will be my 'hard luck' icon which I hope will eventually give it more impact.
