Nyan cat?

I suddenly see nyan cat pop up all over the internet. I've watched the youtube video and, call me crazy, but I don't see what the big deal is. Sure, it's a little catchy but nothing to freak out about. And it's long- I pretty much lost interest halfway through the thing. But I'm going to show it to my friend tomorrow anyway; I want to see what she thinks.

Yeah, a bunch of nyan cat fans are probably going to eat me up now, so I might as well make the meal better for you. *throws BBQ sauce over self*

I think it's kinda growing on me. :?...maybe! I dunno, it's weird.

Drew with Debra


Debra works in the office of a large corperation as the coffee delivery lady. Not much, but it pays the bills.

Aha!

So, I've figured out there are more people reading Separated at Birth (and want it to continue) than people rec'ing it. I've suspected this for a long time but then my question forms. Rec's are a form of appreciation and something that encourages me to continue writing. I am making a 2nd season of Separated at Birth but I might not post it up on the internet. My question: If you really like something and you want it to continue, why don't you rec it? Even if you have to post as an anon, I'd just like an answer. If you don't have a simming account I understand but tell me, so I know my story appeals to people outside of the simming community.

Ok, my mini rant is over. I'm just wondering about this and would like an answer.
Happy simming! :)

Woo!

Today was the last day of school and now we have winter break. *grumbles* stupid cold, no snow.
Anyway, school came out 11 AM and around 10 minutes before the bell rang for scholar partol to go out we got our report cards. When I checked my grade average I saw I went up 2% and my mark was better than ever. It's...97%!! :D And, for the first time ever, I had nothing below 92%. Last term I had nothing below 90%, so I'm in an awesome mood! ^.^

Crazy dinosaurs. Rawr!

Yesterday in art class we could colour in some dinosaurs (if we wanted to) and my friend and I thought it would be a good idea to colour them in together. At first my friend wanted to make the pictures sensible. -_- Boring! Then I started colouring in the arm purple and she joined in. Look at our colourful results ^.^ :
 Yes, I know it kinda looks like a 3 year old coloured them in, but we were just being crazy and didn't care about making it look good. We call them...our rainbow nation! :D
I wrote this at the back of one of them, but sadly the camera didn't want to be nice and so you can't really see all thewords properly. Anyway, it says 'No dinosaurs were harmed and no monkeys were used during the making of this picture...hopefully!'

Now, following our crazy experience, we want to see how creative the Sims3 community is. To stand a chance to get featured on my blog (yes, there will be rec's involved ;) ) enter your insanely colourful sims/lots. For more information, visit the forum here

I'm progressing!

So, it's been about half a month since I put up Separated at Birth's finale and I've finished season 2's intro and I'm busy writing the first chapter. I'm looking forward to doing a 2nd season but I hope the finale is successful enough to encourage me to continue. Other than that, since the first 5 chapters of Separated at Birth aren't that good (only a few words in a sentence), I'm rewriting them. I'm already about quarter way with chapter 5. The reason I'm rewriting them is because I'm hoping to get it published later on and I can't have the chapters that are supposed to draw you in bore you to death. Yeah, I'm in a really good mood right now! ^.^
