Oh, hi. Long time, no update. Well, in my defense, not much has changed in the past month or so since I last updated except the weather.
I’m still way too busy with work; in fact, all I did this weekend was work. I currently have three projects that I get paid extra to do outside of my day job. Normally this is okay, and I rather like the projects. However, when all three of them get busy as hell all at the same time, things get a little crazy. And that’s pretty much how things have been for me since January. Not to mention my work from 9-6 everyday is full as of late too.
Blah blah blah, yes, that’s all very boring to you, I’m sure. But despite all the working, I still manage to find time to play The Sims 2 (except for this weekend, I didn’t open it once, *cries*). My Flounder family is on generation 5, and I also decided to play along with, but not enter officially, The Hangout’s Grow Up Well 2. I loved the first one so much, but since my Sim, April, won, I figured it would be lame of me to actually enter again. But I’m still going to participate and just post the pictures on Flickr.
My Sim’s name is Lucy Cooke, and she comes from a family of cooks. Yes, I know, I’m such a nerd, but any of you who have seen my work before know that I always have to have a theme. While playing my Flounder family, I managed to get obsessed with baking in the Sims and selling all sorts of goodies from one of the family’s businesses. So that’s kind of where that idea came from.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve managed to reacquire a major obsession with Harvey Danger’s Flagpole Sitta. No, I have no idea why; it just came on my playlist and I haven’t stopped listening to it since. I’m runnin’ underground with the moles, diggin’ big holes.
I really haven’t updated in forever, because there’s not a whole lot to update. I will say I have been playing The Sims 2 quite a bit. And I haven’t taken a single picture (inconceivable)! Actually, I was planning on taking a visit to my family’s (The Flounders) bakery and show you some pictures, but that was not in the cards, as my game crashed and then I told it to fuck off.
My game has been crashing a lot. I rarely quit playing by exiting the game on my own. I’ve learned to save amazingly often. This time it crashed right after my sim (Elle Flounder) had a baby and she just got accepted into the Garden Club and got a wishing well. I saved right before these events occurred. I’m actually hoping the baby will turn out a bit different this time. It had blond hair and brown eyes just like his brother, and I’d prefer something different. Elle’s children are generation 4 of the Flounder family. I’ve not made it much past generation 4 before, but I hope to this time.
To keep me going and to keep me from getting too side-tracked, I’m having them marry Townies and other Maxis neighborhood sims. Elle’s mother was Roxie Sharpe. Then Elle married a very attractive townie named Aaron Johnson. He’s very good looking, which is completely and utterly inconceivable for Maxis-made males. Seriously, before he came along, I was about ready to give up and have her marry—oh what’s his name? The pale base-game townie wearing the blue long-sleeve shirt and ridiculous plaid pants, blond hair and very pointy features. She had three lightning-bolts with him. But luckily she had two with Aaron, and he wouldn’t completely ugly-up the family genetics ( the rottenness and evil in me). And major lucky break with him as well because he was a knowledge sim–score!
Well, that’s about all there is with me. I need to go do some work now. I don’t know if I will, but I sure as shit need to. Go listen to Harvey Danger so you can get it stuck in your head too. Hear the voices in my head, I swear to God it sounds like they’re snoring; but if you’re bored then you’re boring. The agony and the irony, they’re killing me, whoa!
