new icons

[nathalia]

It’s time to say goodbye to four icons while introducing four new ones. The new ones have one thing in common: they feature a girl named Nathalia. Weird, huh?

 

First off, goodbyes:

#1 corrupted girl

This was one of the first icons I uploaded because it was so cool and it suggested that I was corrupted and back then I just thought it was amazing. As time went by and I learned to create my own icons in addition to finding some very cool ones, I realized that maybe this one wasn’t so cool after all but I kept it a long time because, heck, I am kind of corrupted. People who are forced to spend time with me will say that “total lack of sanity” describes it a lot better, but I think “corrupted” fits me as well.

 

#2 tardis

This is a picture I took myself while in London in 2007 and I got to see the police box outside Earl’s Court Station which was amazing. Even when I uploaded the image I was aware of the fact that it sucked as an icon and it was only supposed to be temporary while I looked for a better one or created a better one myself but I never got around to doing it and I knew it would have to be kicked out of circulation as soon as I replaced icons again. The time has come for it and I’m not particularly sad about it.

 

#3 six feet under

This is another icon I created myself. I had wanted to create a cool Six Feet Under icon but I have to admit that I failed to, simply using the logo because I couldn’t decide on which character of the show I wanted. I only used this icon very sporadically, more often than not forgetting about its existence but reminding myself of it. I had wanted to replace it a long time ago but once again I was too lazy to do so and finally in London this year I decided that it was time to add more icons showing myself and get rid of icons I don’t like very much and deciding on this one was a no brainer.

 

#4 joker

This very early image of Heath Ledger as the Joker was what convinced me that Ledger would actually be an awesome Joker as I was sure he would suck. As the times went on, they decided to go with a different look for the Joker which is totally cool as well, but I kept this user pic because for some reason, I just love this promo. He looks scary and dark and yet very different than what they went with in the end and you don’t see much of this early promo anymore, it was the very first one to be released and I felt like it surprised me a lot.

 

 

And the new ones:

 

#1 cowgirl / don

This was taken outside on April 19^th when Ali, Madeleine, Vanessa, and Lara were at my place and Ali and I decided to put on cowboy hats and sunglasses and go crazy. We ended up founding a mafia with me as the Don and Ali as the consiglieri (I was listening to the unabridged audio book of Mario Puzo’s The Godfather at the time). And we became Amazons. Mafia Amazons. We had lots of fun until Ali puked her guts out. I don’t think the others had as much fun as we did, though. I know it’s unbelievable, but I was totally sober when this all happened.

 

#2 passport

I got this picture taken for my driver’s license and I love it. It isn’t all too flattering that I am almost as pale as the white background, but even though, I adore this photo and as just after it was taken I knew that I had to make an icon out of it. I’m wearing my DSV sweater and polo underneath.

 

#3 cute

No, I haven’t named this one myself. In fact, I wasn’t even going to use it, but I showed it to Vanessa and she said it was cute. You can see me hugging Nikki and I had to choose between this icon featuring Nikki and another and I decided to go with this one because the other one also had Ali in it and it has the same color scheme of the Locke one (black and white with one thing being in color as inspired by the Sin City movie). So, this one is Vanessa’s fault, I’m going to blame her if I don’t like it anymore in a few weeks.

 

#4 sleep

I love to sleep. It is a hobbie of mine that I would never give up on. This is me asleep. My sister took the picture and you may or may not see that I am hugging Nikki which makes it his second appearance in this batch of icons.
