I'm getting old and I need something to rely on

[mata]

Speaking of getting old: Apparently I can't watch a movie on tv anymore at night without falling asleep. Whoops.
Played tabletennis with my sister yesterday, was nice. Actually getting some kind of tan from being out in the sun, so yay. *g*
This was nice as well, made me smile. The first one is about me, just in case you're wondering. Though as some Anon put it (paraphrasing here): I'm doing the same old shit for years, so you should recognize it. *gg* (not mad about that though, just wish they wouldn't have hidden behind anonymity - I can take a bit of concrit, actually, and wouldn't mind a decent conversation about that opinion)
Roleplay stuff again:


And some shoots. *g*

awww....thats lovely and so true X
And as to the other nonsense a big PFFT. Jealousy and snarkiness I would say. Fact is people love and use your stuff don't they? Proof that people love your stuff. look at me..still recycling your icons from years ago. BECAUSE THEY ARE GREAT.

Take care of yourself honey- anaemic?

[padabee.livejournal.com]

It really made me happy. *g*
Which is what counts - that there are people out there who enjoy that stuff, plus I'm having fun making it. I'm fine with not being the Salvador Dalí of the iconworld, I don't aim that high anyway. *gg*

Probably, I suppose we'll find out when the results of the blood test are in. :D

Ich finde es um ehrlich zu sein toll, dass du deinen Stil behältst. Man sieht trotzdem, dass (wie soll ich es ausdrücken?) die Qualität immer besser wird(?), du also deinen eigenen Stil ausbaust anstatt dich anzupassen *nick*

Ganz ehrlich, ich hab schon Leute gesehen, die so viel Potential mit ihrem eigene Stil hatten und dann auf einmal in eine vollkommen andere Richtung gegangen sind, die meiner Meinung nach viel schlechter war.

(LJ frisst mal wieder comments. oO EDIT: Ja, und jetzt seh ich aus als würde ich Selbstgespräche führen... *rofl* wtf, LJ?)

Danke Purzel, tut gut das zu lesen. :D
Und ich weiß was du meinst - klar, bisweilen ist es einfach Geschmackssache, aber manchal ist es wirklich keine Verbesserung wenn Leute komplett in eine andere Richtung gehen. *g*

shamelessly ask for Magen Fox HQ photo~　=P

[padabee.livejournal.com]

I think you found some by now. *gg*

[ms-erupt.livejournal.com]

LOL. I always fall asleep on my shows and stuff. I'm a hell of a napper though. I'm only 24. ;) Also, LOL @ the anon. I suppose if they have some suggestions for updating your style? If not, then bleh.

[padabee.livejournal.com]

*high five* That relieves me somehow. *gg*
Ha, now that'd be nice - I mean, I took up the 'same fonts' bit, and will try to use some different, new ones, so that's something. Though I tend to stick to those I know are readable with the text I use and in that size, so there. :D

[takayajd.livejournal.com]

Your style is great and you have fun with it, then why change it?^^ And being recognized means being great and having fans. ;D

[padabee.livejournal.com]

*grins and hugs* Thanks sweetie, and yes, that's definitely something :D

[princess-narnia.livejournal.com]

Egads, the falling asleep while watching the telly...it happens babe, it happens. I think we are tiring ourselves out with work and such. *huggles*

I'm amused by that anon comment because I tend to think the opposite. I happen to love that I can spot a "Mata icon" on most days simply because you have a style that is unique to you and you do it best. Its like a signature look and I think that shows how much of a following you have. And you are my one stop shop for so many of my regular fandoms...its ridiculous how much I admire your work, hon.

Oh my! Those pics knocked me flat. Ben Barnes with short hair and looking gorge...where on earth have I been hibernating? (In my Kpop fandom, doh!) And Craig and Bridgette! Gorgeous pic post, love! Thank you. ♥

[padabee.livejournal.com]

*hugs* True that, after a long day it's natural to be sleepy, I guess. *g*

It relieves me, and you don't seem to be the only one there. :D I mean, I love to try out new things, but I ultimately like to stick to things I know work for me and that I like. Sure, I could experiment more, but I need to be in the mood for it.
Thanks so much, hun! *hugs*

*rofl* Nice surprise, eh? ;D

[justmyb0nes.livejournal.com]

you totally deserve this secret!!!!

YAY for tan? I'm out 3h/day in plain sun under 30°C and I'm still as pale as a vampire. Frakking skin (but at least, I don't have sunburns xd)

I hear about getting old *sigh*

[padabee.livejournal.com]

Thanks sweetie :D

Yes, I want to be a bit less pale *g* I mean, it's mostly freckles, but still, it looks healthier ;D But yay for no sunburns!

*pours us some coffee* I guess that's just the way it goes *g*

[kerrsmith2306]

Yay for getting a tan... am still working on that. Thank you for the pictures.

[padabee.livejournal.com]

It's probably a bit pathetic what I call a tan. *rofl* But it's a start :D

[spirited-lizard.livejournal.com]

Wow, almost didn't recognize Ben Barnes with the short hair! Something's wrong with me tonight. Don't recognize hot guys and I'm just confused about everything. o.O

[padabee.livejournal.com]

*feels your head* You should probably lie down ;D

[cat-o-wen.livejournal.com]

OMG that is so sweet!!! The icon secret admirer thingie!!! Hee!!

We are all getting older *sighs*

Craig and Bridget and Sean oh my! Thanks so much for those!!! ♥

[padabee.livejournal.com]

It really is, isn't it? :D

Sadly, so true!

Anytime, honey ;D

[hai-di.livejournal.com]

Tolle Bilder! Ben mit den kurzen Haaren sieht Orli ganz schön ähnlich :)

[padabee.livejournal.com]

*gg* Stimmt, jetzt wo du es sagst!

[sibelle-art.livejournal.com]

It´s nice to see your own work appreciated :) . And for the anonymous comment, well they are just jealous that they don´t have an own style but copy from you and others ;) .

[padabee.livejournal.com]

It really is, it was a nice surprise :D
Ha, that's a way to look at it! :D

[radiogaga80.livejournal.com]

Ooow... I like that picture of Sean Bean! *swoons and snags*

[padabee.livejournal.com]

I know, right? *gg*

[ladyithildiel.livejournal.com]

Erhm...the same thing has been happening to me=and falling asleep mid-CSI...that can't be good!:p

And very interesting community, I have to say;though, yeah, don't pay attention to the negative, snarky criticism!*huffs*

*cuddles*

[padabee.livejournal.com]

*rofl* Ah, but it's good to know I'm not the only one ;D

It is, hadn't heard of it before, but it was a pleasant surprise :D
*tacklehugs*

[lady_turner]

Great pics! I love the Bill Nighy ones!!!!!! He's great!

[padabee.livejournal.com]

He definitely is *gg*

[stillgerard.livejournal.com]

I wholeheartedly agree! As for the other cr*p, ignore it!

Thanks for the gorgeous picspam too. xx

[padabee.livejournal.com]

*gg* Doing me best ;D Thanks hon :D

...Speaking of getting old: Apparently I can't watch a movie on tv anymore at night without falling asleep.
Ahaha! You should totally come by my place soon! I'll let you sit in my rocking chair and we can shake our fists at the young'uns down on the street together! XD

The icon secret is very sweet! And I totally agree, you do have an excellent sense for cropping, mood, and colouring! ♥

[padabee.livejournal.com]

*rofl* YES! Great plan! Can we also yell at them to get off the lawn? :D

*grins and hugs* Thanks sweetie.

[gemelliragazza.livejournal.com]

It's lovely to get recognition; don't worry about someone who's obviously jealous. You can see how many of us love your icons! ♥ ♥ ♥

[padabee.livejournal.com]

It really is nice, made me smile *g* And indeed, and that helps to be calm about where it might have stung a little in the past. :D

[pokecharm.livejournal.com]

lol don't feel bad, I am a big sports fan, as you know, I can hardly stay awake during games anymore ;)

I'd ignore the haters, easier said than done, I know ;)

I swear, Bean isn't aging at all!

[padabee.livejournal.com]

*snigger* That's comforting. :D

Most of the time, indeed. :D Though it really doesn't bother me, tbh. Which is a tad surprising. *g*

Seems like it, eh? :D

[tabithas-cat.livejournal.com]

Hey these are neat, will come back & read through them all. we love your icons hon XX

Wow Craig (& Bridget) looking yummy as ever! Thanks for those. :)

[padabee.livejournal.com]

Thanks sweetie :D

Very yummy *gg*

[keli]

Awww that was so sweet of someone to post that up! They are totally telling the truth. Your icons are incredible and you are so generous sharing them with us! *hugs*

[padabee.livejournal.com]

Very sweet, made me smile. :D *hugs back* Thanks so much, hun!

[utkari02.livejournal.com]

Aww, that's so awesome that someone did that for you! :D :D

[padabee.livejournal.com]

Indeed, made me feel warm and fuzzy. *gg*

[anyathe.livejournal.com]

Wait, whut? I had no idea there was a Icon Secrets community, lol. Anyway. That's so sweet someone wrote such a nice secret about you. And eff the person who hid behind Anonymouse Hat to crit you. Wtf does Anon think you're going to do if you know who they are, anyway? :p

You're still and forever my favourite icon maker.

Nice graphic! I knew this girl (one of those who stole that stuff from my site) who was obsessed with him as a PB and I'm gradually managing to stop thinking about her whenever I see him. Yey!

This is a really nice picspam. I love the shots of Hugh and Bill.

[padabee.livejournal.com]

Me neither, until someone pointed me to this post. *gg* Was very sweet, and *rofl* - indeed! It's not like I'd rip their head off (though I can't really guarantee for some on my flist *gg*). Probably it's easier that way to be snarky. ;)

*flutters eyelashes*

*rofl* RPG tends to 'ruin' actors sometimes, sort of, doesn't it?

;D

[tinaskywalker.livejournal.com]

ein super Kompliment ! Deine icons sind unübertroffen ! :0)

[padabee.livejournal.com]

*freu* Danke Purzel ;D

[loonilicious.livejournal.com]

You're not getting old, the movies are getting boring ! *g*

[padabee.livejournal.com]

*rofl* Now THAT makes sense!
