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.

He's a marine

I really need to get back to posting these. I've been doing a lot of photo ops with my sim Lia Gallagher (you can find her link in the last blog post). She's a very good model, her face takes every pose to the next level. I say that her lips are her best feature, but I'm beginning to realize it's her eyes, cheeks, and jawline.

"Behind Bars Photo Op:

This is my favorite picture from this op. 

That would be her sister, Amoetta. Yes, Amoetta is a sim I made before Lia. I went back and edited her. She is no longer a doll. I think she was prettier when she was, but I like both.

"The City" Photo Op:


Yeah, I know. The city has been done thousands of times. But it's a good practice shoot, and these came out great. (Oh, and yes, I did turn my graphics up.)

Lia's "style" is "eccentric". This gives way for me to make her fashion sense really crazy, but really chic. She almost has a GaGa effect, but I wouldn't dress her in meat. (Also, I don't tend to say that someone's fashion sense is bad if they do that and can still work it. If they want to wear it, who's stoppin' em?) -I realize now that gloves would've made the outfit much better.

 I call this one "A Night All Alone"

 I'm really not sure why I put her in a tutu.

I am definitely in love with the reflective flooring.

This is my all-time favorite picture of Lia. She looks so delicate, and if you stand back far enough she looks real. (No seriously, this is my wallpaper and I noticed it yesterday. It's awesome)

"On the Town" Photo Op:

This one came to me while I was cleaning. I plan to make a better set and try again, but these look alright.

  This is my favorite picture out of this op.

 I believe this is the most glamorous-style shoot I've done.

 I really hate when the eyes black-out like that. To fix it I had to put in a TON of lighting. At least it didn't ruin the effect. I see way too many screenshots with the eyes blacked out. I really wish I could give advice but I don't want to seem rude.

I am working on a portfolio site on Wix, but I still haven't completely figured it out. I gave up in frustration yesterday. You can find my portfolio here. I update it a lot. Soon I will have these ops as pages. Lia Gallagher and Briana Parker are going to be my model sims for competitions. I think I may narrow it down to Lia. She is definitely not going up for download unless it's for a photography site. Also, I will be posting more screenshots later as I am going to do more photo ops. 

Ryan is restoring his computer to factory settings, so I can't work on my story until he's done redownloading everything. Yes, he saved all his documents. 

I have been much too lazy to log into Lineage 2 lately. I just haven't felt like logging in and partying with randoms. I suppose at some point I should log in and do some guides or something. I will. Eventually.

Title story: Ryan watches these videos on Youtube from NightmareRH (note: don't go looking it up unless you want to listen to some really annoyingly obnoxious guy swear incessantly and watch his character dance around on runescape). As I said, he's really obnoxious. He has this nerdy squeaky voice (I think he squeaks on purpose). I looked at a video from him that showed what he really looks like. Turns out he's a marine. He looks way hotter than I had expected him to. Wouldn't ever go near someone like that. Hot guy with prepubescent nerd-voice? No thanks.

Stir Crazy

My WoW time is almost up, and I doubt I'll be going back to it.

I am 10% away from 82 in Lineage 2 and I really just don't feel like logging on.

Currently only three people have entered the "Miss World" pageant thingie on FB, and I'm super excited to get the ball rolling. I really wish more people would post so that I wouldn't be so bored.
I'm going insane stuck in this house. I can't take it anymore. I'm getting very temperamental and moody. Everything stupid someone says, I'll get extremely frustrated. I need to get out of this house for awhile. The bad thing is, I can't go for a walk. There is nowhere to walk to, and no one to walk with me. I hate long walks alone in the country. It's cold, and I have bad circulation, no winter coat, and no fat on my body to keep me warm. I hate the outdoors. Why can't it be summer?

I'm annoyed with all these self-proclaimed "authors" of sim legacies that can't spell or write for shit. I can understand those who don't speak English as a first language. Americans, go get an education! You can't be an author without an editor. OOPS! I'm sorry. I shouldn't be rude, no matter how moody I am...

"Miss World" sim contest up next...

Recently I joined a Sims 3 contest, the FB link can be found on my other blog here. Oops. Fail link. Oh, well.

Been playing WoW too much I think. Not sure if I'll go back to it after my free time is up. Only need 10% for level 82 in Lineage 2 and I really don't want to party with randoms anymore.

Ryan is in Milwaukee until Thursday. I think mom wants to pick him up on Saturday instead. Not sure. He says he is getting me a teddy bear. I don't blame him, I still sleep with the bear my ex gave me. Take heed that it's not because I want him in my arms, it's because I need something in my arms. *YES! I sleep with a teddy bear!*

I've been looking at ball-joint-dolls on dreamofdoll.com lately. They're so gorgeous! I want them! I love dolls.

Currently I'm in the middle of decorating my Sim's house (Lia)... Just have the entire thing to go. I want to finish it before I go to sleep. Of course, it's so late that I forgot to attach pictures to a contest email. Fail. It's so late that when I re-read the things I write, they get all jumbled up and it looks like I wrote a ton of typos, which I didn't.

I have been encouraged to continue writing Hope is a Thing of Feathers. As soon as Ryan gets back I will be looking at what I can do for it. I am planning on going back through and rewriting some things, as it goes pretty quickly. I need more pages in the chapters.

The other day I was tugging on Ryan's hoodie. (Can't remember if I've said this)... Well, my left index finger nail tore off of my finger. It's still cracked half-way down the nail, waiting for it to grow out so I can clip it. It's happened before though, it's not like I'm not used to it. Color guard.

We're not lizards

I found out that WoW is giving out free 7 days play time for the game, so I am working on getting that right now... Will post screenies in the future. I hope this doesn't impede on my work towards 85 in L2. For the next week or so I will be working on my characters, just because I'll have the time.
I also am thinking about joining a roleplay thread in a forum in the IMVU groups. I haven't done that in a long while, need to brush up.

I am not trying out for show choir, this is my final decision. I was not able to work out rides with my friend, and I will probably be too busy anyway. At least I can audition for the musical, that should be fun. It's been announced that it's City of Angels. Never heard of it. Let's roll.

I've always said that WoW has terrible graphics, but now that I really look at them, they're worse than I thought. Oh, well.

Title story: I was talking to Ryan and he stuck his tongue out at me. I told him we're not lizards and he said "yes we are."
No. Just no.

All I want to do is sing today

So, what ever happened to separation of church and state?

These posters are all over the school. Now, I wouldn't have a problem with them, but bible verses? Come on. I thought we weren't supposed to condone religions? Though they do have new posters up now that just have peace signs and minimal text, no "god" included. Hopefully those shown above are removed soon, or I might have to have a talk with an authority about it.

I may have worked out some rides to show choir rehearsals, so now all I have to do is audition. I think I may have figured out a song, too. I was stuck between Gravity - Sara Bareilles, Whenever, Wherever - Shakira, and She Wolf - Shakira. I looked at What the Hell - Avril Lavigne for a while, but Whenever, Wherever was the winner. The reason being that it gives more room for freedom of style. What the Hell does as well, with lots of high notes (my range) but Whenever, Wherever really speaks to me, and I believe that's important.
My only issue is that I can't dance unless it's choreographed for me, and even then it takes me longer to learn. Whenever I have to memorize something like that, it takes me longer than most people. Take colorguard, for example. To memorize routines for that, I wrote down everything plenty of times, over and over again. I took sheets of paper with the routine on it and worked on it for hours at home. I can see myself needing to do that with show choir, which is okay, because at least I put in the time and effort for the things I do. I am always working at improving my performance life.

Lately in Lineage 2 I've been super lazy, but have gotten plenty of quest guides done. I am almost level 82, and would be, but Ryan likes attention. Sometime tonight I will be working on a new sim (out of boredom, of course).

Happy Chriskwanzikkule! That's christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, and Yule put together. I celebrate Yule. If you Google it, you'll see that christmas actually stole a lot of tradition from the traditional Pagan Yule. Yule log, decorated tree. Funny, how Paganism was the first religion and a majority of the US doesn't know what it is. Even better, some ridicule it. You're ridiculing your ancestors.

Cake!

First, I would like to let all the girls who have been flirting with Ryan know that I know that, and who, they are, so you can just back off right now.

After the holiday break, I will be learning french horn. I'm excited, french horn is such a pretty instrument!

I'm really sad that I won't be able to do show choir. All I want to do is get better at what I do, which is performing. It will also help prepare me for college. It's too bad my mom doesn't see that.

Tonight I will be watching season 3 of Dexter with Ryan, because he's only ever seen the season six episodes. The finale is on Sunday! Super duper excited! And really scared, because apparently Travis is supposed to kill Dexter's son. Or try to. I feel really bad for Dexter, everyone goes after him sooner or later. And what is Deb up to? Some creepy shit going on there. Especially since in real life the two recently divorced... Awkwarrrrrd.

I'm making cake right now! I'm very excited for the break, and can't wait to start writing again. Maybe I could even start one of my paint projects, or start memorizing fingerings for the french horn. I will most likely go shopping, too. I want a pikachu hat.

Concert on Monday! Jazz band opens, very very excited. I love all of the activities I've been in lately. I'm looking at going to Columbus in Chicago, the performing arts school. All of this extra stuff is really helping me towards that, not only in credit but also in how I perform.
