I will know I have met my future husband when Potential Guy lets me use the "face it, tiger" line on him. ^_~
MJ is my comic book girlfriend, but Gwen is awesome. The original "Death of Gwen Stacy" arc is amazing; I bought it in tradeback a few years ago and I actually cried the first time I read it. I can get pretty tired of the MJ-bashing in favor of Gwen that I sometimes see, though--painting MJ as a stupid whiny tramp and Gwen as a pure and virtuous angel doesn't do justice to either character. Oh, have you seen "Ultimate Spider-Man"? Gwen's in it as, like, snarky leather-wearing badass Gwen. Purrrr. I live in terror that the comics' writers will decide to be funny-ironic and kill her off (or REALLY funny-ironic and kill off MJ *g*).
I use this icon because she's a character from Spider-Man who's adorable and very fond of Peter, and when I thought I heard another character call her "Gwen" (I'm pretty sure now that they didn't and she isn't, though), I nearly had a heart attack from squeeeing. (I could swear I heard somebody call somebody "Gwen", though...must pay closer attention when I see it again on Saturday.)
