Description I recently read the book The Perks of Being a Wallflower and it is definitely my new favorite book! I love it! I had borrowed it from a friend and now I am buying my own copy and I'm going to read it again (which I don't normally even do with most books). Seriously, if you haven't read it, you should! It's great!

Anywho, this icon was inspired by that book. I found that animation of the tape somewhere and resized it and added all the text and everything. If you haven't read the book, "One Winter" is a mix tape that the main character (Charlie) makes for one of his friends.

I wanted to make an icon to show my love for the book, but everyone makes the icons that have the quote "And in that moment, I swear we were infinite" (which is an awesome quote, btw) so I didn't want to use it. I decided to be original and made this one!

You can use this if you want, just remember to it and credit me! ^.^

Thank you very much for the critique! I'm glad you like it.

The little animation of the tape isn't actually mine. I made this a long time ago, and had found the tape animation somewhere, so I put the words on it and made it into an icon.

Thank you! I made this 6 years ago, so I don't remember where I got the little tape animation.

i finished reading the book last night and loved it too it was seriously wonderful, and for all his flaws, in the moments he feels infinate, its hard not to want to be in charlie's shoes. this icon is a brilliant tribute! instant

Wonderful icon. I just reread the book today and it was just... Indescribable. Definitely my favourite book too
It's very overwhelming.

(and did you hear that they're making a movie? With Logan Lerman as Charlie?)

Thank you!

It's my favourite, too!

I wish I could find my copy of it, though. I think one of my friends may have stolen it!

I hadn't heard that! Neat!

ragdolljazz In reply to brandimillerart [2010-08-11 02:56:45 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome

Oh that's horrible (but totally understandable, I'd probably steal it from my friends too hah)

Yeah, and there's also a rumour about Emma Watson being in it? I don't know, but it apparently starts filming in December

brandimillerart In reply to ragdolljazz [2010-08-11 03:43:55 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, yeah. But I don't talk to the friend anymore, so I don't think I'll get it back.

Sounds interesting!

Ah~ I love this book! The character is very emotional and I really enjoyed reading his journey. When I saw this icon, and written 'erks of being a wallflower'. I HAVE to fave it right away.

An awesome book = an awesome icon.

I want to read that book! I read a lot of quotes from it, and it seems to be really, really interesting, but alas it wasn't published in my language and I cant't find it in English nowhere
anyway, the avatar rocks

It is a really great book. I'm sure you could find it in English at Amazon.com That's where I found my copy.

Thank you!

man oh man that is a good book
i finished it recently... i have never cried for a book before (sigh)
(the wierd part is, i found this completly randomly, after your forum postingness, upon searching for the perks of being a wallflower... weird)
if you would like, i can inform you when i get my Perks club started (twill be called "Feeling Infinant")
i need someone to make an icon (hinthint)

brandimillerart In reply to Sephiroth617 [2007-03-25 16:52:51 +0000 UTC]

Yes. Favourite book ever.

Yeah, I cried reading it, too.

Whoa, that is really weird! O.O How crazy.

Yeah, I'd love you to tell me when you get the club started and stuff.

I would totally be willing to make an icon. If you want, I could shrink down this one (to DA icon size) for now, and then be working on another one (I'm not sure when I'll have time to create it).

Sephiroth617 In reply to brandimillerart [2007-03-25 17:12:34 +0000 UTC]

that would be great
since i had no idea anyone could make an icon for me before, i was simply going to use the floer from the cover, then try ot make Feeling Infinite go over the thing
but you do whatever
(and i forgot to mention, this icon is awesome because it DOES NOT say "and i swear in that moment, we were infinite" because its kindasortareally overused)
thanks

brandimillerart In reply to Sephiroth617 [2007-03-25 17:41:10 +0000 UTC]

Yay! Alright.

Hrm, if you could explain your idea a little more, it would help. I do not particularly have my own idea in mind at the moment, so it would be nice to see kind of what you want.

I agree. I like the quote, but i realized that it was used way to much. I wanted to do something different. Thank you!

Sephiroth617 In reply to brandimillerart [2007-03-25 18:04:08 +0000 UTC]

i was thinking a flower
then it would say "feeling" then "infinite"
in a really cool fade in trippy way
if you understand?
