Multi-GIP with rather a lot of nattering

I actually typed this last night- late, late last night, or actually very early this morning. Yay, insomnia fun (again, still, yet). I thought it might be wise to read it over when I was awake before posting, just in case. But that's why it's a bit... rambly and disjoined, even by my standards. I was too lazy to translate 4am writing into 4pm writing. And aren't GIPs traditionally wee posts? Heh. Tangents are my friends. ( So I have three new Joan icons, three old ones, two Beowulf and two that are neither Joan nor Beowulf but are very shiny all the same. )
