Chase your dreams away

Wed, 09 Oct 2013 19:18:33 GMT

Well, I don't know if anyone even reads this thing anymore, but it's highly unlikely.

Either way, I wanted to add closure to this blog. For a good year and a half or so, being part of the community and creating was the most important thing to me. I met so many wonderful people, made so many friends, and I will always be thankful for that. Though quite a few will not even see this, they will know who they are if they read this, I do hope so anyway. It's safe to say I have changed since I've been around, I find this whole deal rather cringey now. Not the sims, not at all, but my blog, the way I acted, the things I posted, and for one this goddamn user-name. Near the end of my time in the sims community, I was desperate to change it, but hey whatever, maybe I'll be remembered as it.

I changed, and I just felt things didn't feel right in the sims community. I lost friends because I started listening to Marilyn Manson, which sounds completely absurd and ridiculous - but it happened. I am also partly to blame, my personality was dreadful. So this is also a sorry to everyone who I may have offended. Hopefully, I have matured, and got a better hold of myself than I had two years ago.

I haven't posted here in over a year, so I don't expect anyone to read this, but I just wanted to say a huge thank you and goodbye to the sims community, you were all wonderful.

Anyone like sims RP?

Thu, 17 Nov 2011 21:44:04 GMT

Right - so you can probably tell by my blog that I'm pretty much dead in the creating front [I do have some paintings to do but that a different matter] but the reason why is of course sims role play! It's pretty much like normal role play, you make a sim, they're your character and you right as them...been my addiction for going on 6 or so months now - honestly, I'm hooked. It really got me back into playing TS3 too - I was almost verging on switching back to TS2.

But really, the site that really and truly got me into RP was New Helena. And you'll know if you follow my simblr I've made a similar post, but if you're at all interested - you should go check New Helena out! It's such a big site with a range of locations, mosques to pubs, and witches to vampires - they really do quite literally have it all. Ok, I'm gushing but I do that alot, also everyone so nice ahfjdsg met so many lovely people there...so yes, if you are at all interested, go have a poke around and pop in the cbox (:

*a wild TS2 upload appears* (;

I've always loved this hair, it was my first ever retexture a few months back now - but I really felt the textures were just slapped on, and looked far too flat...so here I am redoing them all.

( So let's just sign it away; )

Icon Dump 3

Fri, 26 Aug 2011 17:13:11 GMT

Another icon dump, sort of fun to do. Well actually I procrastinated from making this set, tumblr is one hell of a thing to distract people from! And Muse on Sunday at Reading...holy shit I'm so excitedddd - even though I'm only watching on TV :D Could be the last time they play some songs from OoS, but not all which is good. But if they cut out Citizen Erased </3...but I am a pwoper Muser, not going to give up on them anytime soon. K end Muse rant, yes more icons ahead...

Brand new forum!

Tue, 23 Aug 2011 12:56:53 GMT

We'd like to cordially invite any and all sim players who love to chat about the game, post pictures, tell stories and generally share absolutely everything they do with their games... to come along to The Sims Daily forum, and join in!

We're an incredibly informal group of people, so you won't find too much in the way of rules and regulations - just somewhere comfy to pull up a chair and share your love of the Sims, with like minded people.

Your hosts/playmates/dogsbodies in this endeavour are Webbymom, Lily, Deelightful, Simcastic, Sebausten and me! (Darkshines there xD)

The forum caters to Sims 2, Sims 3 and Sims Medieval... and we even have a pub... The Dog and Duck, where you can chat about your real lives whilst supping a *virtual* glass of wine or pint of Guiness, whatever suits your fancy (of course, we have no clue if you're actually imbibing and typing (or attempting to) at the same time, so dig out !).

We're just starting out, so come join in the fun and help to make our forum, your forum!

[Text credit to Lily]

But if you want a place that isn't too focussed on one area, and just want a good time - it should be fun there ;D

Icon Dump

Wed, 10 Aug 2011 12:55:20 GMT

So yes, something non-sims but I was making icons for myself...and well I got a little carried away :D I was going to stop at 30, but Jan said go for 50...so I did :P I'm not even going to talk about my really bad attempt at an icon community I'll probably cute post my icons here and at my tumblr from now on ;D

Hobbies Blog Train

Sat, 18 Jun 2011 16:03:06 GMT

Look, it's another blog train! Hobbies this time (in case you didn't get that from the banner), so whatever your sim classes as a hobby we have something for them! Well...I suppose not all hobbies, but a damn fair few! And for once I haven't just done one thing...I've actually done 3 separate sets of paintings; which is good for me, I normally only do one xD The first set is really the main one with 30 images, the others are more mini sets; one with 3 images the other with 6.

[Megalomania] 16 Bright Prints

Thu, 02 Jun 2011 10:47:00 GMT

I've been playing TS3 a lot more recently since discovering that running in full screen makes the game go incredibly fast; like no CC fast for me! Which is big since I have a ton of CC in my game, that combined with my getting generations tomorrow TS3 has become a lot more enticing, so obviously I was in need of more paintings. I love jackiethepirate's stuff from devianart, not just the Muse stuff though I do love her invincible poster, so I though why not stick them in game...so I did.

[Pink Ego Box] Peggy 06240 in Pooklet's unnaturals

Sat, 21 May 2011 18:51:46 GMT

There isn't really a story behind these, just that I did the naturals in this mesh back in March here, and I've been procrastinating on making these, but yesterday I made myself start them and I finished them this morning. Then I procrastinated even more on posting them :P

Anyone like sims RP?

Fri, 20 May 2011 17:23:14 GMT

So yeah, anybody like sims RP? It's recently been my latest obsession; apart from Sims and Muse *of course*. Well really it's not exactly Sims RP, you just have to make a Sim to RP with, there are no picture taking, it's really just like writing a story but with two authors! I discovered this around 2 weeks ago now, been hooked ever since! I started over at Kapuhai Reef *see previous posts for info* but due to some circumstances I now RP at New Helena! And, it really is so fantastic over there! They are so welcoming, there are so many places to RP at...and they have the mafia...which I'm crazy excited about :P I know, I know I sound crazy, but it's all to do with one of my characters Georgina ' Gina' Moretti. She has a history with it, but escaped it all...but being as cruel as I am to my characters I'm making her get involved again with her brother XD Click below the cut to see all my RP characters I have over at New Helena;

Chatter & Change

Thu, 12 May 2011 16:51:11 GMT

You know one day, I might atually finish a meme...but today isn't the day. I really just can't be bothered to finish the Harry Potter meme XD It's just one of the many things that I procrastinate one...ah well.

On another note, I'm fed up of the bright blue on my blog so I'm expirmenting with colours/patterns a little, so if you see it changing don't get worried. And I'm doing an over haul on my icons to, I'm wanting to start something fresher and all!

[Almost a Kiss] Newsea Desperate in Pooklet's textures

Tue, 03 May 2011 16:12:52 GMT

Wow, it's been so long since I've uploaded any retextures...and this one has been in my project for nearly a month. Oh yes, I was procrastinating. With DOTY, TS3 and other projects distracting my attention (Sims RP is one), I have been putting off taking preview for a while, but I finally got around to it.

Downloads are back up!

Sun, 01 May 2011 11:02:55 GMT

I made a post about 1/2 weeks ago about my downloads being down because my box was out of bandwidth...so it's now the 1st of May so the bandwidth is all back up! Also, to the people who keep commenting that my bandwidth is down, read back and you would have seen the post about the downloads being down...

But no worries, they are back now! :)

I made it!

Thu, 28 Apr 2011 09:16:07 GMT

I'm not sure if you knew, but I participated in DOTY 2011 over at BPS this year. The first 2 rounds were pretty nerve-wraking, I was so scared about posting my designs, afraid that they would pale in comparasion and look pretty damn awful ompared to the others (my Round 1 & Round 2). But it seems that my designing isn't al that bad...because I got through to round 3!

They had to elliminate 20 people for round 3, and I am so happy to be one of the 30 people that stayed! Round 3's style is sandanvian, I don't do that style too much, but I do do that style...

Oh, and now I have 3 dreamwidth codes. DW sent me an e-mail saying my request for codes had been granted and I had got 2...even though I didn't ask for one :P I douby anyone who wants one hasn't already got one, but if you want one, PM me :)
