You're a beautiful jellyfish

I have updated Lia's story on that blog, and the link is on the left side of this page if you want to go check it out. I'm on chapter four. I know it seems quite happy right now, but wait for a twist in the plot, eventually. There will be drama. I promise.

I can't wait to post the next assignment pictures. They are much better this time. Ryan's is really fabulous, but you'll only get it if you know what Zelda is. (wink)

I logged into Lineage last night, but I was lagging so bad I couldn't do anything. I'll try again this weekend, and probably do some quest guides, if I'm not busy doing assignment pictures with the sims, and showing Ryan how to use gimp. I'm so proud of everything he's been doing with it so far though.

I want cereal. I'm so hungry, my tummilee hurts, and that's bad, because I have an extremely fast metabolism. I want food. So I should probably go make food.

Title story: Ryan was just watching a youtube video from Toby and he was singing that song, "You're beautiful... You're beautiful... You're beautiful, it's true," but instead of "it's true" he said "jelly-fish"... Yeah. Wow.

Hope: Haven't been able to work on it. Ryan only has a trial of microsoft word, and I need to take the version I have at school and put it on my flash drive because it's better than the one I wrote here. LOL. Go figure.

PG-13 post of Lia Gallagher's Circus photo

Today is the day! We got our results back from the pageant. I think we did very well, considering it's our first time in an actual contest.

The only comment I got on it was that it would be better if I had zoomed in more. I did purposely have this zoomed out this far, but I get the point they were making. They liked the fact that it looks pretty good for an in-game shot.
It's not exactly my first contest, but it's the first one I've done in Sims 3. I'm glad it's my first one, too. I think it's a good thing I'm starting small. (We are definitely growing in numbers)... I kind of know what I'm doing because of my constant lurking in other contests. (tehe)

Ryan's:

His comment was get rid of the glow and work on lighting, otherwise they like it. This is his first contest like this ever. He has good photography skills (and I'm proud of him for it). He has never lurked in a contest. I think that the theme of the circus wasn't that great for him to start with (or for anyone) but hey, at least it was a challenge. It's not fun if it's not challenging, right? (Just like high school!)
I think that the black-on-black on the suit loses a lot of the body. I'll be sure to remind him of that.



The next assignment is "Joy to the World"
(Yes, I have it in already)
The picture has to be black and white, gotta see the face, and have casual, comfy attire. We are allowed to color one part. It's due this Friday, and yes I will be posting it.

I will be working on the next part of Lia's story on the other blog, but that'll be way later tonight. I'm planning on showering after I post this, and then spending some time with Ryan.

A New Story

Well, I decided that I'd write another story just to keep you entertained. That's the least I could do while we all wait for Hope to be finished. I kinda like that. Hope. Instead of Hope is a Thing of Feathers. I'll look into it.
Anyway. You know my model sim, Lia Gallagher? My beautiful Lia Lee... I am making a story for her. Everything I put into this story just felt (and feels) right. Don't judge. Here is the link: Lia Gallagher: A Sims Story

I would like feedback. Remember, I'm not afraid of comments! Positive ones, anyway. Anything that is not completely negative. I'm also not afraid to delete comments. I do have the plot (not thoroughly) thought out. I have gotten a couple suggestions about going into Lia's past, which I think I'll do...

Tomorrow the "Miss World" results are posted! I'm extremely excited. After Ryan figures out his work stuff and I get home, I'll be posting our pictures. I just hope I make it to the next round. I will also be posting the first part of Lia's story tomorrow. Maybe. I can't promise that. I still have to take pictures of my Hope pictures.
I also now have links on the side of my page to my other blogs.

I did not get around to logging into L2 today, but I think I might end up doing that after I post this.

Roleplayers unite >.>

Note: I will update on Hope again at some point. I have the drawings of the characters, but left the sketchbook in my locker. They will be posted sometime next week.

I have made a group on IMVU.com for roleplaying. I know, I'm such a nerd. I have been watching Fairy Tail lately and it makes me want to roleplay, because the plot is so broad and would make a great roleplay story. I also have some IRL friends who love it, too. So I made a group for my IRL friends to have roleplay threads and whatnot. (Message me on facebook about it with questions, it's only if you're actually interested)

The results for Miss World are posted on Monday, and Ryan finally sent his in today! I like it. It has a cool glowie effect. I will post them both once the results are posted. Some others have already posted theirs on profiles and whatnot, and I really look down on that. Mostly because they're giving their ideas away, and no one is supposed to see them before the results are posted. It's just wrong to me. I am very proud of my and Ryan's pictures though. I feel like I should do more editing on mine, because even though the only edit I did was the border, Lia looks really cropped. Oh, well. It's only the first assignment. I will be more careful about my picture in the future.

Haven't played L2 as of late, just haven't felt like logging on... I am going to make a note to log on tomorrow though. See what's up.

Update 1 of 2 on Hope

Sometime soon, I promise, I will be posting some pictures of what the characters will look like in my eyes. Yes, I will be posting all of the current characters on my mind and in my story. These will either be drawings or Sims. I will also give a small passage of the story. I have gotten feedback from my teacher and some buddies. I am definitely continuing the story. They, as well as I, like where it is headed. I just need to lengthen the chapters and edit some of the most recent one I wrote.
The post with the pictures and passage may not be until tomorrow.

Dexter

For those simmers out there who are CC-aholics or who just like downloading sims in general, I have two more up for download on my blog, Katt's Dolls. You can find them here.  Note: Minette is just a re-made Jakayla Richards. Dawn was from scratch.

I have been watching season four of Dexter with Ryan. (This would be the... Third time I've seen it.) Everything surprises him. In fact, as soon as I'm done with this blog post we are going to start watching it again. Yay! Cuddles! At the moment he is fighting waves of mobs in Runescape to get to a boss for a fire cape. Apparently.

The "Miss World" pageant is going wonderfully. They finally got all of the needed contestants and put up assignment one. The assignment is "Life's a Circus." I have already turned my photo in and will be posting it next Monday because I don't want to give anything away until they post the final results on the page. That takes away from individualism if any of the others were to see it. I tried to keep it PG-13, but I just couldn't keep myself away from the outfit. I would say it's okay though. No nudity. It is quite a good photo, if I say so myself. I'm very proud of it. I just hope the judges are, too.
What am I going to do for a whole week, waiting for the entries to be posted? Four of us will be eliminated. So damn excited. Sorry, I'm nerding all over the computer right now.

I believe I have posted all of my latest screenshots.

I now have a USB bracelet (thanks, dad) and can carry Hope is a Thing of Feathers with me wherever I go, so I can work on it whenever I can. Yay! I am enjoying 2012 so far. Well, except for that whole S. 1867 thing. Heh.

2012 is here, and I finally figured out why.

First, look at this.

-What the hell. 'Scuse my French, but seriously? Our Bill of Rights, Constitution, and Miranda Rights are there for a reason. We became a democracy for a reason. But bill S. 1867 being signed last night by Obama is changing all of that. Apparently, we have no rights. Thanks so much, guys. Really. Check out the comments, too. There's some pretty crazy shit going on. This is insanity. This will be our 2012. I give us less than a year being able to keep calm in a chaotic society. I thought Obama was picking up a lot of pieces. Now, I believe my mom. That man is evil.

Anyway, more sims photos, for a brighter moment.

"The Garden" Photo Op:
These are good!

 The shine on the eyes in the above image kind of screwed up and turned a weird purplish color. They're really green.

 Lia is so gorgeous. Just so you know, these pictures are exclusive to this blog and to Lia's facebook page. The other blog does not have them.

 I didn't realize I hadn't redone her makeup after I had to re-do my CC, but the purple default kind of works.

This is my favorite of the shoot. She's so wonderfully delicate.



"Architecture" Photo Op:
Just out of boredom.

 I didn't like these as much, the lighting was off because I was running out of time in the game. (I wanted the shoot in the dark, but light was coming so my streetlights turned off.)

I want her boots.



"Bloody Needles" Photo Op:
Just so you know: I did this shoot from inspiration of two things: My fear of needles, and my belief that the government is killing us off through hospitals. I will not force this opinion on anyone. I will not rant about it. It is an issue that needs to be addressed, though.

"Medieval" Photo Op:
These didn't turn out as good as I wanted, but they're okay.

 ^Gypsy. No, I did NOT shoot this to be a perv. She is a gypsy.

 This one was a little too... Smug. Though, it does show some battle-fierceness. She looks like she's walking towards someone to fight. One of those epic moments in movies.

 Apparently this is a sword from Runescape and it makes Ryan happy. It's an "AGS." I lost her eyes though.

And now she's a princess.


-No ginger jokes!

I am NOT excited to go back to school tomorrow. Nope, nope, nope! I just want to Sim all day every day! I will be making some posts for my Katt's Dolls blog tomorrow to show off some more of my sims. They're really just makeovers of some of my older sims, but they are a lot better. I was so scared earlier because all of my .package files went missing in my Sims game documents. I then realized that I made backups. I am so proud of myself.

Title: Explained at the beginning.
