Let The Good Times Roll

      Life here is both weird and fantastic, lately. Yes, I still have my complaints; but certain aspects in life have improved! Like...my game. I bought a lovely dress with wings (in my game, obviously) and it's a sheer glowy gold, and it comes with giant wings. And it was only one dollar short of ten freakin' grand! I actually had to make another account to gift it to myself, because my main account only has 8 dollars. The game also has a cat with a crown on its head, which also costs 9,999; and a 'real gold' iPhone costing 7,999. It'll take awhile, but eventually I'll have an account worth more than 31k!
      And my Sims are going great, too. It's been over a year, maybe almost two by now, since I lost the biggest family anyone has ever made; but even with my small, current family I don't think I could be much happier than this. I made a large, beautiful house and called it Indigo Palace, and my Sims actually have grandparents on both sides of the family!
      Life is weird in the way that my mother has been on a Shrek marathon. I had to offer because she was sick of going through all of Big Bang Theory and That '70s Show in three weeks, but I was not expecting her to say yes - or even watch Shrek Forever After one night after another - and even say she's going to watch Shrek 1 again. I would have sooner bet my life that she would rather have thrown those movies out than watch them.
      The weirdest and most fantastic? I cut my own hair earlier this month, and it's above my shoulders and it's actually straight! It doesn't even touch my shoulders, which is awesome, because when it does and it's wet, it feels like it's trying to cut me. First I asked my mother to cut it, but by the time I smelled the wine on her breath it was a lopsided mess. So I fixed it! Think Rapunzel, except it's all one length and has the ability to grow back.
      A few days ago it also snowed. Not a lot, but enough where I watched it fall past a street lamp. And then I had pizza, and pop, and chocolate. And lately I've been making perfect grilled cheeses. And my brother cooks these amazing meals. Meat, veggies, pot-atoes, stuffing, and it's all nice and soft and yummy. I normally get stuck with dishes, but lately I've been assigned other tasks...thank goodness. Don't get me wrong, that's important; but when you're doing everybody's dishes and sometimes there's over seventy of them and they don't rinse anything and you're sore and it's past your bedtime and you're stuck there for over an hour - you really start to want to be doing literally anything else.
      All my books are going nowhere, but I'd rather try and fail than succeed at doing nothing. I'm on my gazillionth attempt, and I'm already dissatisfied. But then I read the script of fantastic movies, and I'm surprised at how boring it actually is if I'm not hearing and seeing it. Besides, people actually think Gangnam Style and Pineapple Pen are great songs, so my chances are actually pretty good.
      I am just so happy right now! I wish I could feel like this for-ever.

  1. It’s awesome that your games are going so well — mine have been, too! I;ve had the same main Sim for years now, and her house is WAY bigger than it needs to be ... but then, I picked the biggest lot and I think it’d look weird if I had so much ‘outside’ space and some dinky little house to go with it :p

    Mom ... a Shrek marathon? She’s really changed, hasn’t she? I used to feel guilty for watching those movies because she looked so uncomfortable ...

    Congratulations on the new haircut — do you have pictures (also of your game character’s cool new dress)?

    Snow, pizza, pop, and chocolate? That sounds like a fantastic night! I haven’t been brave enough to try eating pizza yet, but I’ve stopped living on soups and have tried both crackers and chips, and I can eat them again, so, YAY! (For four years or so, I was sure I couldn’t eat anything I had to swallow; food just seemed to get stuck in my throat, and I hate that feeling.)

    My ‘book’ is also going nowhere ... but I’m psyching myself up to change that. Mostly I’m working on fanfiction that also seems to be going nowhere, LOL :)

    It was nice to see a new post from you — I was wondering where you’d gone :p

    1. Yep. Right now she's watching Puss In Boots. I also loaned her Finding Nemo and the Monsters movies. I'm expecting her to ridicule my taste, but after the Shrek surprise, who knows? She actually said she liked them!
      Yep, still here. Just didn't have much to say there for awhile...No pictures of the hair just yet, but I took some of my character's new look for you. I can't post them in a comment, so I'll upload it to dA.

    2. I saw - very cool!

      I remember, right before I moved out, Mom and Lorne criticizing some of the things I'd enjoyed ... which of course takes the enjoyment right out of them, for me. I hate it when people do that :p

    3. So do I. It's not like watching animation movies for kids could make me a worse person. I don't mind if they say the movie is for kids; it's when they look at me with that You're so stupid look.

    4. That or the "You like this? Really?" look, like their tastes are so superior to mine :p

    5. Exactly; that's the look. And then Mom asks me to play a song about a squirrel going to church.
