luck be a

I have given myself the (long) weekend to take a break from Being A Medical Student. Officially. Assignments and study and work experience will commence on Tuesday. Today I slept in, reread some Pratchett for the first time in ages, judged at a skating competition, went out to dinner with MY GIIIIRLS, and then finally got to watch Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (<3333333!).

Tomorrow, who knows? More skating judging, but maybe I'll watch some House. Maybe I'll lie in bed and read. I will certainly do some more icon-uploading, which I started today. The theme is: awesome female characters!. Obviously I haven't gotten very far yet, but I'm hoping to cover most of my fandoms eventually.

SO! I am asking for your help, dear flist:

Comment with/upload/link me to an icon of an awesome female character

If this inspires you to make me an icon, that would be ideal, but if you know of a particular icon maker who does great icons of such-and-such, then let me know! Or link me to a post!

Seriously, any fandom or show or movie or manga or anything that you think I might ever have been exposed to. Awesome women. GO.

LOL

ETA: I lol because Haruhi is so strong, but this is her thwarted by contact lens uke moment of glee in this icon, which doesn't exactly exemplify "awesome."

Deleted last comment because I have no idea if it's still considered spoilery, but really, CJ works just as well. So! Have a CJ.

It took me a minute to track down the maker. I think I found it at [livejournal.com profile] _fandom_icons_, made by this person.

(Sarah Connor is also awesome. Icon by Shati.)

There's the classics, of course (INTO THE GARBAGE CHUTE, FLYBOY!)

I don't actually have icons of these guys on my own LJ, but ...

[identity profile] ulkis.livejournal.com 2008-10-04 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
This icon is of the teenage Mary I of England. I don't know if she's awesome per se but I think she's one of the most interesting and more accurately depicted figures on the show.

[identity profile] ulkis.livejournal.com 2008-10-04 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
This is kind of cheating because it's the actress and not the actual character but I use it when I talk about "Rent" anyway. The actress was the original Mimi on Broadway.
