LJ ate my comment, so here's the brief version - khalulu means rabbit in Chichewa, a language of Malawi (southern Africa). Like the Harry in my fic Beekeeping, I spent some time there and studied the language a bit, and though I didn't see any rabbits there, I liked the sound of the word. (Sounds like kah-LOO-loo.) Icon is that word changing into the Chinese character for rabbit. Someone was offering such word-to-character icons in the Japan relief benefit auction just as I needed an icon for posting my first fic. I like animals and I like languages and I hope the plot-bunnies hop my way.
I only have one other icon, it's ancient Roman art of the god Triptolemus, a blond guy in a chariot drawn by winged serpents, and perfect for my story Abraxan Wings.
My journal header is standard LJ of snowy hills and trees on a starry night. I like it. The quotation is from a gently eccentric and adventurous poem by Edward Lear that I have always loved, "The Jumblies".
