...

      As usual I'm starting the day off with zero sleep. I'm going to be heading downtown soon. There has been a lot of sirens already, including two police cars; all heading in the same direction. Seems a little early for any activity involving the police. Usually I don't hear cop cars until between midnight and four AM.
      Things are going okay for me, I guess. My book seems to have reached a good place, despite the errors I made (which reminds me, I still need to correct them), and on the 29th I deleted my Sims 3 World Adventures and reinstalled Ambitions. This time around I want to have a doctor.
      My Sims live in Willow Manor, which I'm not too happy with. I've grown accustomed to making apartment-like buildings for large households, and I think I'll go back to that. I like the idea of each Sim having their own little house on one lot.
      I've always loved building families, and I can't do that in World Adventures. Well, I can, but it glitches the family tree and takes out a lot of the enjoyment. So, when I install any other game, I typically go crazy making a family. Today will be Day 3, and my Sims already have six children. The firstborn was an only child; then they had triplets, then twins. Their firstborn will be the doctor. And this time instead of moving in the next oldest relative when one dies, I'm just going to manage their graves with the mausoleum. I think it'll save a lot of time and effort.
      I wasn't even going to teach the children to walk, talk, use the toilet or get their grades to an A, but I've always done those things. I guess today I'll be focusing on moving the family into a house that resembles an apartment, and aging the eldest child into a teen.
      And now that I've perfected the Edit Town mode, I can make a household with grandchildren in Create-A-Sim, split up the household and only control the young parents to have more children. This means that finally, my Sims will have aunts and uncles. I've done that before, but only through laborious game play. I can't wait to have a huge family right from the start.
      While I was playing World Adventures, though, I followed my goals and made a Geisha and an Indian. For the Geisha, I used voice 2 in a high pitch, and for my Harpreet, I used a less-than-medium voice 3. And I learned a lot of things. Sakura was good at singing the songs learned in China, but nothing beats voice 3. Harpreet sounded spectacular. But voice 1 is terrible. And what's worse than voice 1, are male Sims. They can't sing no matter what voice you pick. Hearing them try just made me laugh so hard I almost got my juice up my nose.

A Great Day!

      I am having the best time. I'm not bouncing off the walls anymore, which I knew would happen; and it happened pretty early. I could just feel the energy getting sucked out of me.
      But, it started with an old neighbor calling just as we were heading down to the bus stop, and she offered us a ride. So we got to avoid a long, hot bus ride filled with strangers and the chance of encountering someone you just don't want to see. It was a lot more pleasant. She took us to Wal-Mart and I bought those cookies I like.
      She took us to the Tim Horton's in the junction beside RiRi's, and I found out they actually sell things like chicken burgers and things with ice cream, which all looked like cappuccino stuff, so I got a Coke.
      Then tonight, I took a nap and slept so hard that I never noticed when the family ordered pizza! It's too bad not every day can be half as good as this one!

Energized!

      I feel gooood! I know it won't last long. Maybe it was the energy drink and two chocolate bars, but I feel so awake!
      It happens so rarely I just had to blog!

Electronic Bitches

      So this is my kind of luck, folks. First my MP3 died, so my brother gave me his. Then my headphones died, so my mother lent me hers. Last night his MP3 died, so now I'm back at square one. So I figured I would make a CD to play while I clean my room and guess what? It says there are no bytes taking up space, yet there isn't any space.
      Fuck, everything has to be so complicated.

Oh My Fuck.

      Today is a really scary day! A woman was sitting idle at the intersection, texting away. A large truck was trying to turn into the lane beside her and she started driving without looking away from her phone. She hit him, and then, once she had backed up enough to let him through, she went back to texting. Then a truck pulling several gallons of gasoline started turning. And again, she floored it! She missed him by inches. If she hadn't, everything within a two-block radius would have been incinerated. I would have come home and everybody would be dead!
      And then we get the newspaper. A car collided with a train, and a truck just...fell off a bridge.
      Ugh...bad day for vehicles.

      I had a less wonderful time in my game today...I got to five million, and for awhile I was really happy about that. A short while. There are these really tough creatures called Imagination Devourers, and they can kill you very fast. I got a bundle of potion that restores all hearts, and even when it's on sale, kinda pricey. It took me a lot of effort to kill that creature, and it rewarded the gold box I was looking for. Of course while I was re-spawning from death, someone came along and grabbed the gold box just as I was pressing the button to collect it! Thieving wanker.
      Why does everyone like to steal from me? Poems, pictures, possessions, even recognition for doing something nice. Do I have like a target sign on my forehead?
      In any event, I think I'm going to take a long break from that now; maybe I'll reinstall the Sims 3, give that another try. If I don't use Origin, it should be okay; it was okay for months. And before that, years. I had five awesome years in The Sims 2, building a legendary family with over one hundred relatives. I will never forget it. I have so much trouble keeping one family. Eventually, it has to be deleted; it's unavoidable; it's like I have a bad copy.
      Figures. But, EA has kept me happy since 2009. And to me, that's a huge deal. It's only been two, three weeks since I last played The Sims 3, and I already feel like it's long overdue.
      And I know exactly what I'm going to do. I've got store content (which never interferes with game play; only custom content does that. They're very different), and I'm going to make two females, unrelated - a Geisha, and an Indian Sim. They are going to travel the world and I can take themed pictures in China and Egypt....Oh, it sounds so much fun. Due to the broken family tree problem that World Adventures has, I won't make them or anyone else related.
      You know that big hammer that destroys debris in one swing? I had that! And I had the glowing butterfly....I wonder if history can repeat itself.
