Hi. Nothing personal, but you're using my icon, and I wish you wouldn't. I did not create the image, but I did crop it and make it into an icon, and I can tell it is a copy of mine rather than someone else's own work because it is slightly unevenly cropped in the same way that mine is (there is more disco ball on one side than the other). Please find a different icon to use. If you need help finding one, my friend rachel makes a ton - she has an icon site that you can go to - and would probably be happy to make one for you. just not my blythe doll icon, please - it has been my default icon since i started on LJ in early september 2000, and it's really not nice to steal other ppl's icons. thanks!

[note to everyone else: this irritates me.]
