so adorable :3

Thank you!! Maria is without a doubt the most gorgeous sim ever born in my game, dang. Her face ended up like a perfect mix of her parents.

Love these shots! :)

Thanks, Fi! It was so much fun to pose, even trying to work around all the clipping, haha. :D

Yep! I only post TS2. :)

Your neighborhood looks great!

Lovely pictures!

Thanks, you three! <3 <3 <3 The neighborhood looked so lovely in its spring greenery that I just had to go take pictures of the subhoods too!

Oh no! But it's funny she moved straight out xD

I went to see if I could check the name of the dormie on her door (nope), and suddenly Gail’s picture disappeared off the other door and she booked it off the lot! Must be practice from all her video games.

ROFL! Shame corner!! LOVE it! :D

But Jayne was there, so it's all good. ;)

I’m blaming you when I inevitably start accidentally calling him Jayne too, just so you know. :P

dramallamadingdang replied to your photoset

Wellll...At least her position isn't as bad as in Egyptian art. Those people didn't even have spinal columns. ;)

They sure did enjoy their representative art. Just not representing a lot of regular spines. :)

dramallamadingdang replied to your post “The Twenty a Bajillion Questions Meme~ @dramallamadingdang and...”

Hah! As it happens, I am eating blackberries RIGHT NOW! (They were "Buy 1 pint, get 1 free" at the grocery store, so we got...a lot :) ) And I gotta say, I don't really get the whole zombie thing, but that Newsflesh series sounds like an interesting premise... And yay for Kinsey 5s! :D

Oh, I’m jealous! Blackberries are usually a bit expensive here. I’ve tried growing them (my family already grows raspberries and strawberries in our backyard), but it didn’t work out very well.

Yeah, one of the reasons I like the series as much as I do is that it’s less of a zombie story than a post-zombies political thriller; zombies aren’t the big news anymore. Also the fact that the world/characters are pretty genre-savvy to the traditional zombie stories (I have read too many zombie novels, if it’s not clear).

They’re not, like, the most amazing literature ever, but it did say ‘favorite’ series and not ‘objectively best’ series. :)

I worship Octavia Butler's spirit. I can't even remember how many times I've reread the Lillith's Brood/ Xenogenesis trilogy

Oh, yes, Butler, without a doubt, was one of the genre’s most talented authors ever. Xenogenesis is one of the very few books I have both a physical copy of and a copy on my Kindle. I’m overdue for a reread of it, as soon as I finish slogging through Kushiel’s Dart.

simblu replied to your photoset “He’s so proud of her. :’)”

Eew on the four years of same trouser wearing.. although I should talk.. my sims usually wear the same thing all the time. I excuse it by imagining they have multiples of their outfits. I myself will buy 4 or 5 of the same pants or shirt if it's really something I like.

Well, presumably they’ve been washed at some point. I do have CC washing machines! Three probably does have four pairs of identical trousers--he seems like that type of sim. :P Anyway, I shouldn’t talk either, I wear identical pairs of black jeans all week, every week.

dramallamadingdang replied to your photo “Girl, that’s exactly how I feel about this love affair of yours too.”

Most of the mascots are really attractive under their ridiculous outfits, though. At least, mine seem to be. It's almost like a law or something.

Most of my default faces are Pooklet’s, so I’m sure he looks amazing under the llama head, it was just kind of hard to carry on Irene’s date when he had to stop and start cheering every five seconds. >_< Hopefully Irene’s still interested in him after graduating, because now I really do want to see what’s under that llama head.

mikexx2 replied to your photo “Graham and Melanie are really hitting it off… (Have you forgotten...”

I was all ready to holler, "Melanie forever!" And then realised Emily is Emily Bushby, and there's no competing with the Bushby girls

lmao! You got that right, I’m very partial to the three of them. <3 Melanie is adorable, but... come on. There’s no contest. :P

How come you've got 2 moons?

Am I not supposed to? D: I have no idea, lol. I don’t think I ever gave it a thought before and just assumed it was normal! I have two suns, as well.

:O Trigun!! Haven't watched that in ages... <3

I re-watched it about a year ago! I forget what made me think of it at the time, but I looked it up on youtube and sure enough, all the episodes are on there. :D I have to get around to re-reading the manga as well!

“It’s a boy!! :) Welcome the first baby in Sycamore Cove, little...”

*raises eyebrow* Are you sure you're not pregnant? Nah, I'm kidding. :) I'm actually not the type to get attached to my Sims, but if this is your longest-lived neighborhood, I can certainly understand sentimentality. :)

Hahaha! Not pregnant, no. Probably hormonal at the time, though. And a Family Sim at heart, regardless. ;D But yes, this is my longest-lived neighborhood by a long shot (although that’s not saying much), and I’m definitely the type to get way too attached to Sims. :D

“Evelyn teaches Sonya how to walk. Look at that determination! :P”

You say determination, I say she's thinking about world domination now that she's mobile.

You know what... on closer examination, I think you might be right! I’m going to have to keep an eye on this one. ;)

So gorgeous! :D Your neighborhood just keeps getting better and better looking, I swear.

Meep, thank you so much! <3 I’m only trying to keep up with the best. ;D

“What's your job in real life?”

If I were a pharmacist, I'd be terrified of filling the bottle with the wrong pills. That actually happened to my aunt once, a long time ago; if she'd taken the pills she was given they'd have killed her. Fortunately, it was a pill she'd been taking for years, so she knew they were the wrong ones when she opened the bottle, but...Yeah, I'd be the most obsessive pharmacist on earth, I think. :) And therefore slow. So yeah. "Stressful" would be the word...

This! I’m definitely on the slower side (compared to other pharmacists I’ve worked with) because of my intense fear of making a mistake. Not saying that other pharmacists don’t care, but I’m obsessive to the point where I will quadruple-check a prescription and re-read it to myself a dozen times (which must appear crazy to my co-workers/customers). When it comes to medications and patient safety, there’s no such thing as being too thorough.

But of course, there are the impossible corporate standards and arbitrary “metrics” that pharmacists must meet. We’re timed on how quickly we fill the prescriptions, answer the phones, complete prescriber follow-up and patient adherence calls, etc. On one hand, I understand I’m working for a company and the company needs to stay in business. On the other hand, though, pharmacists stress over the metrics and push themselves nearly to the breaking point so as not to attract unwanted negative attention from their corporate supervisors. And that, unfortunately, forces many to compromise thoroughness in favor of getting everything done within these arbitrary time limits. There are loads of articles and studies that have shown the negative impact of these corporate standards on pharmacists’ performance. It’s extremely sad that our profession has essentially been reduced to “fast-food pharmacy” - churning out as many prescriptions in as little time as possible, and setting the unrealistic expectation for our patients that everything can be done ASAP. Of course I don’t want to keep people waiting forever for medications, but when I have to call the doctor for clarification, or the insurance because the medicine isn’t covered, or my vendor because I don’t have the med in stock (in between which I have to stop what I’m doing to answer questions for people at the consultation window, or mix an antibiotic for a child, and so on and so forth)... the time adds up. Not to mention I don’t get a lunch break so I’m trying to force myself to take a bite of a sandwich in between all of this. ;)
