So Jem is holding a contest at my stomping ground. The prize? A geek t-shirt from Syswear. Now, I am more along the lines of pseudo-geek/nerd¹, but I love t-shirts, and you can never have enough t-shirts.

Here’s how it works. Review sites or refer people, gain the most points by the end of February, and the person with the most points wins. Void where prohibited, which means that if you’re not from the US, Canada, or Europe, you’re not qualified, but you should join rev.iew.me anyway if you haven’t already. We’re nice, but we also don’t sugarcoat shit either. So if you’re looking for constructive criticism, and isn’t prone to ass-hurt², then this is a great place to look. Don’t make me link rev.iew.me again. Join!!

And now for the other one, pertaining to Crestfallen, as I said last entry. More beyond the cut.

“Happy Birthday, Crestfallen!” Contest
I hope that I get plenty of entries–or at least more than 3. Get those entries in! I’ll be waiting.

I remember when Grandpa used to sit me in front of the radio and watch me dance as he painted. Then when I was old enough to do it myself, he made me paint his portrait right before he died. I miss Grandpa.

I live an uneventful life. Which makes it so hard to write blogs these days. I’m also combining that with this bout of depression, but it’s uneventful regardless. So I’m going to list a few things that I just love, in light of V-*** of course.

1. I love how buses stop right in the crosswalk. Because I love the smell of noxious bus fumes that emit from their engines while I’m walking behind it.
2. I love how when it snows and it turns into ice on sidewalks. I also love when said ice isn’t salted on said sidewalk and becomes a dangerous mini-skating rink just waiting for an old lady to slip on it. I’m just waiting for that moment where I slip and yell out the “L” word. Beturass they’ll throw 5 bags of salt on that sumbitch real quick.
3. I love how some people don’t get it when I say no to certain things, especially when it comes to meeting people. Usually, if I don’t want to meet you, my decision is final. That means that I don’t like you, and you should move on with your life because you’re not even on my radar.
4. I love how people don’t listen and constantly push me in a romantic relationship with them. As much as I’d like to be in one, it doesn’t mean that I will settle with just anyone. I don’t care if you’re my friend; if I don’t see you as anything else but, don’t push it. Especially if I already told you that you’re too old for me.
5. I love how people wake me up out of my sleep long before I want to wake up, then I can’t go back to sleep. You know what times I usually take a nap, and what times I go to bed at night¹ and wake up in the morning². Do not disturb me.
6. I love how I got over 1,000 posts on Snark. No, seriously, I’m not being sarcastic. I love that. It’s rare that I get 1,000 posts on many boards.
7. I love how I say that I’m going to do something and it doesn’t happen until 3 months later. I told you, I work on Shadow Standard Time, but this is ridiculous.
8. I love how I went through this list, and the moment I notice that it isn’t 7 items, I’ll go crazy and do a bunch of stuff to make up for it. Like taking a shower and making a V-*** themed RHSF comic. And attempting to find a color scheme to use for my next layout.

Here’s a Simshot for you though.

For those who woke up too late (or was living under an e-boulder¹), Google was acting up. I did a couple of searches and this is what came up. Jem brought this to our attention first.

A search on a motto that I seemed to have coined. It came up first five in Google. Wic-ked! But! Notice something?

I knew I should have stopped talking about pr0n and fetishes! But I think that description needs some changing!

Hai Google–failtastical. To clean your eyes out from that, I give you this.

Ugh, Mom! Dad! Gross! I so do not want! (Says the teenager who got his girlfriend pregnant)

As I’m trying to get through Mirrored Worlds, I started to do some deep character development. What do I mean by this? Paint a real picture of how Mikhail and Ivy look like, then move on to Ava and Nicolai. What other way to do this than to play The Sims 2? Of course, I had to make it so that, although in the novel they’re “mirrored versions of each other”, they were easily told apart. This is pretty image heavy, so after the first image, I’ll cut it.

This is Mikhail, our main character. It’s not easy to tell, but he has an eyebrow piercing on his right eyebrow, and an earring in his left ear. That plays a role, believe it or not.

Mirrored Worlds in Sim Form, the product of my boredom and love for Sims 2.

Yes, this was me being bored as hell. But it helped me a bit in getting inspired to write more, as weird as the idea seems. I actually did the same thing with Jora and Jericho. I ended up deleting that hood, but I still have their shots floating around somewhere. I might dig those up out of hiding.
