I'm a favorite!

I am... Super-duper proud of myself. The post from last night with my picture on it? With the violin?

It was chosen as favorite by all three judges, meaning I'm safe for the next round.

The next picture assignment is "Just Dance" -
The requirements:
- Must be a form of Dance ( Not something you made up)
- You may use others in your photo
- You must include a short amount of information on the dance. ( Name and how it's preformed)

Since I already had the ballet poses, I was going to go with that, but... That's just so cliche. Instead, I think I'll try a few different things and see what I can come up with. This is my experimental round since I'm safe. Can't wait to get in my game. Just have to find my sticky notes first...

Set Fire to the Rain

Since it's Friday, and even though they haven't taken down the page to post pictures and results yet, I get to post our assignment 2 pictures for the Miss World Sims 3 pageant I'm in. Here goes:

Ryan's:

Zelda makes Zuzia happy. I love his idea. It's so much better than mine.

Mine:

I had to do a lot of editing on this one. There were tons of clipping issues with the hands, and her face was way dark, and you could barely see the violin. I love her eyes.


The theme was, of course, "Joy to the World", and I chose music. Whatever makes them happy. Music makes Lia happy, and Zelda makes Zuzia happy. I loved this assignment.  Can't wait for next week's.

My head hurts too much to be on the computer anymore.

Title story: That song is stuck in my head.

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.
