Nate slowly lifted his milky eyes as the commander, his creator, came into view. The other two twits weren’t worth his time, he’d realized quickly, so he’d chosen to say little to them. But something about the commander, his boss, the one with the power & knowledge to help him become great & strong, piqued his interest much more. 

Do I get a new snack now, commander? I think I’ve finished this one off, he smirked slightly before looking back down at his first & so far, only victim.

I like him, Harley shrugged, leaning against the cool iron bars as he watched the newly born vampire. 

Well don’t like him too much, Matheu muttered jealously. 

Tall, dark, handsome… Harley smiled as he paused, biting his bottom lip. He knew it was bothering the shaggy haired officer beside him & he found that quite entertaining. He nodded before finishing his thoughts. Killer instinct. He’s basically everything that you aren’t, Lancaster.

Matheu turned to their commander with a scoff. Why exactly are we on babysitting duty anyways?

You’re the ones that I trust, & the ones with nothing better to do, Korey sighed, already annoyed by the whining.

We have plenty to keep us busy, the blond argued.

Sucking each other’s dicks doesn’t count as work, Lancaster. 

But…

Your jealousy will not sway me, so save yourself the trouble, Korey snapped, cutting him off. Looking between the bars, he smiled at his assistant. How are you feeling, Nate? 

welcome to hell

I actually relish this kind of thing, once I get into it. It’s just the thought of it that’s off-putting. I am LONG overdue a complete re-organisation of everything, and if it means I’ll have some lots with missing CC, then so be it. I’ll just remake them, or hunt through my folders to find and install what’s missing.

I just copied over all my CC Magic folders’ contents and used Bulk Rename Utility on them. God, all of the hundreds of Luna items with accented characters! That wasn’t helping, for a start.

Next up, before I go to bed, will be to convert all of the sims3packs to package files and then scan them with Dashboard. The last time I did that with some of Luna’s items, I discovered I’d been running with corrupt CC for months. I just hadn’t scanned it because working through sims3packs individually in CUSTARD was such a nightmare that I didn’t bother.

oh no. I’ve done this way too many times to count.

As I was setting up the relationships in the final screen, I thought, “I should have saved each of these to the bin” but I didn’t - mainly because my Saved Sims bin takes ages to load each time as it is. I set them down on a blank lot, then hit Save As, and boom.

7 - Summer, all the time! I get very chilly very easily. I grew up in Africa with no snow, so it goes without saying I can do without it.

8 - Hair to my feet……? I don’t mind shaving it off [This is an odd one].

12 - Become invincible. So many people to mess with and have plausible deniability at the same time. Muahahahaha….

13 - Get no anons. I turned anon off months ago.  I have seen what the drama in the Simblr community has done to some of my friends. It can be overwhelming and ruin one’s love for the game.

15 - Alpha/Realistic. I have a fairly powerful computer which can handle it, so I completely switched over. I’ve played with both, and come to the conclusion that maxis match looks awful in Sims 2 and very cartoonish in Sims 4. I’d rather not be reminded of the game’s cartonish-features.

Lavender: Name something that relaxes you.

Hayley Kiyoko’s new Citrine EP.

Paintbrushes: Do you have a creative past-time?

Writing. Gaming. Reading. Trying my best to look into interactive fiction and learn to write and work with the software.

Scars: Share something difficult you've been through.

Hmmm I can’t think of anything I’d like to share really. fights with what may be depression and suicidal thoughts. I’m in a better space now though I guess, comparatively.

Pocketwatch: If you could be immortal or have an extremely long life span what would you pick and why?

I would probably pick neither. Buuuuut if I really had to i guess immortal. I mean why do something halfway, right?

Blue Hair Dye: One thing you like about your appearance?

21: if you knew you had the right person, would you marry them today?

Nope. fuck marriage. Also I have no one cause I’m shitty and sad.

27: what is your favorite color?

TURQUOISE. solid color good shit.

55: how is your hair?

My hair is still green and very good thank you, and you? 

69: have you ever tried your hardest and then gotten disappointed in the end?

ummmmm yeah of course. I can’t think of anything specific other than ya know relationships and my inability to make friends.

89: what is something you wish you had more of?

this is one of those times i’m always annoyed that i can’t like things twice.

XD

are you doing NaNo this year? I want to, desperately. not sure if real life is going to let me.

I’ve done it several times, but only ‘won’ once. Mostly I either managed to get sick during November, or I was working manic hours (one work colleague whose job I had to cover whenever she was off - as well as doing my own job - was always on vacation during November).

However, this year I’ve got nothing like that to stop me, unless I get sick again. (I work with the general public, so that’s always a possibility - lol!)

The method that I found worked for me was to build up a buffer early. I didn’t write only the day’s requirement of 1667 words; I’d go over it as much and as often as I could, so when the days came (and they did come) when I couldn’t write as much, I could rely on that buffer. The other thing I did was to keep the computer on all the time I was at home with my Word document always open (unless I was asleep, of course!) and every time I walked past it, I made a rule that I had to write something. Even if it was only 50 words. That all builds up.

The way I looked at it was this: even if I gave up halfway through with ‘only’ 20,000 words written, those were 20,000 words I probably wouldn’t have written otherwise.
