Re-Do

As some of you, or none of you, may have noticed, I updated the look of 'The Joule Frequency'. I felt it was time for a change, considering I'm about to get back into simming and all that.

On the same note, it is almost the new year (2012) and I thought something a little easier on the eyes would be nicer to look at while the world ends. Then again, thats just me. Tell me what you think!

I found Bridgeport!!!

So there I was, browsing google maps late on a friday night, when I came across THIS: (view full screen.)


Look closely... its............ BRIDGEPORT (in the middle, right of prussia)!!!! My reaction: WTF... OMG OMG OMG !!! This. Will. Change. The World! EPIC! I MUST SHARE THIS!!!! 

Two Steps From Hell

This isn't sim related... mostly because I have to re - install my game on my brand new shiny iMac ( XD ), but this is so epic, how could I not? Listen and be amazed. This is why I need to make a movie, just so I can use this song.

TailBots

Tail Bots. I've always admired them. But enough of that, on to the good stuff.

Now, you may be wondering where I've been, or you may not care at all seeing that I left for about 4 mouths. <---Yea, that's what sleep deprivation has been doing to me. Educated People Problems right there. But no matter what you've been doing with you mind, you should know that I just stopped.

As soon as I got back from vacation I sat down on my couch and...did nothing at all. I slept aanndd....thats it. And then, before I knew it I was back in school and my life turned to hell. I vow right now never to take any class that starts before 9AM EVER AGAIN. When I have that lovely freedom of choice... :(

Well, there you have it. I did nothing, and then I was so stressed out I had no time for foolishness like this at 11 PM!   Regardless, I promise to get back to blogging at least 1 a week! God I need some sleep... 5AM is toooo early.

Time Flies By..

Wow, It seems like just yesterday I was posting about how I'm back, and now I'm leaving tomorrow.....
Anyway, I'm pleased to announce I passed all my exams will pretty good scores... :D School just got out last week and my summer has mainly consisted of catching up on 2 thousand plus hours of missed sleep! Worth mentioning I got an android phone? Eh...too late :)

Well, this is it for me for the next month. <--- too many 'for's in that last sentence.) I'm leaving tomorrow on vacation, and I'm not coming back for 5 weeks. Still not leaving the east coast, though. >:<

Soz... this is Ruby, Signing off for the very last time... until 5 weeks...or something like that. I hope to be taking out woodland animals in the Maine Alps (No such thing) By this time tomorrow. :D

I Iz Back...for a short time, anywayz

Hey universe, 

It's a Mia, Rubya (said in Italian accent.) :D

Yep, I'm back. Well, a bunch of things have happened since I've been gone: 

Generations came out, making me want to buy it even more.

Sims 3: pets was officially announced. 

Some other stuff...

My game was completely deleted and I've had to start from scratch.

Yep, that's right. That means: no more stories and no more sims from my old game... :'( 

Anyway, on to better things: 

It's been a while and, while summer is here, school isn't over yet, for me. So i'll be posting again, but not as frequently due to the obscene amount of tests that my teachers have been saving for the last 2 weeks of school. *Sigh* Wish me luck....

- Ruby

Here we are again

Well, it's been quite a while since my last midnight post....

Anyway, I think I need to take a break from blogging for a little while. It's nearing the end of school and I've got finals every other day.

So, this is Ruby - signing off.

-until another day, followers. ;D

Scraping the Sky : Chapter Two

Heh... yea, it's been a while.

Well, here you are: Chapter Two

Dear Diary,

They threw me out at 2 AM. Yes, it may sound like a strange title, but it’s true. I was roughly pushed and shoved and barred from the club. I mean, all I did was dance on a few tables. I might have fallen on their entire stock of Neon Breeze, but I don’t really remember that part of the night too well. This is bad. I just received and e-mail for a court summons; they’re suing me for 100K. Where am I going to get that kind of money?!?! I can hardly support myself! I have 30 days till the trail…

Miserably, Soon to be homelessly yours,

Lola Han.

Yea, I probably should have stuck to studying last night and squashed my notions of freedom. That was a disaster…and I have a hangover. I’ve been getting up past noon for the past few days, trying to pretend that all this doesn’t exist. On top of that, I overslept and missed my logic exam…I’ve failed out of the class. That was something like 50% of my grade. Now, I’ve got no credit, nothing to show for my hard work, and no job not to mention I’m about 100 thousand dollars short of 100K. I’m going to die. Uugg, this bed is horrible. I’ve been getting a terrible night’s sleep.

Not that I sleep at night anyway.

Well…no it’s a silly thought. I saw an ad in the paper yesterday that whoever could defeat the Chess Grand Master of Bridgeport could win the title…and a million dollars, but that’s insane. I could never do it. I decided to give it a try anyway, seeing as it’s my only shot at freedom without debt. I tramped over to the book shelf and got out my battered logic textbook once more. This would be long; it would also be hard.

Over the next couple of days, juice and cereal became my main staple foods. It’s a wonder that I kept a normal weight, but I guess stress was scraping off those extra pounds. In preparation for the chess games, I started practicing doing my hair up in a fancy style. I finally settled on a high ponytail with a bright gold and red bow. My outfit was fabulous, my hair was amazing…I was ready to play some chess!

Pawn to E4…

Melancholy

Oh My God!!!!! I can't stop listneing to this. It's so...emotional. :')

To Good to wait!

Wow! In light of my other post, this was a surprising response time. Hmmm...when I all but seemed to of sworn of sims for good...

Oh well...on to other things. Specifically: TRAFFIC SOURCES!!!!!!! *Cue dramatic music

The Time gets away from us...

To some people, it may have appeared that I had abandoned this blog. Now, that may seem a bit far fetched, even to me...but I was hard pressed to find something to begin this post with. Anyway, that aside, I have been busy with other, more important, things. What, you ask. What could be so important to you that you abandoned the sims!?!?! *Shocked face* Well, the truth of it all is: My grandfather has been in the hospital this ---- that's 999 285 6352. Call now to receive you FREE Big Fat Lie. Don't miss out on this good deal folks. Call now :D

But seriously now, all jokes off, how could marathons of Psych and Harry Potter sprees be More Important than sims? Answer: Because that's not all I've been doing. I've had to put TS3 on the back burner for a while now as I launched my latest, and first, business venture. coverimg.co Remember, it's .CO not .com. After all, we're not communists. So head on over and check it out. (all you'll find at that address is a blank page - no website put up yet) But if you wanted an explanation (And you wanted to see some of my ingenious slogans) Type into your browser or....thing on top where you put in addresses....(eh...) anyway: type in this: www.coverimgco.blogspot.com    Remember: It's CO before com because cooperation always comes before communism. ;) 

Have a nice day, night, twilight, dawn, dusk, corn husk - 

Blogging faithfully, this is Ruby - signing off (Eventually) ;D

World Takeover...

MWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With 140 page views and 2 followers, RUBY IS ALMOST AT WORLD DOMINATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! heh heh heh ...heh...................heh..............
There really was no other point to this post, was there.....
No, there wasn't. :D

10 Things in a List

Well, it's been a while since I've posted. (Been busy with other thing such as staring at my computer screen.)

But anyway, until the weekend rolls around bringing with it a new chapter of scraping the sky, I bring you this list.

10 Reasons I Love the Sims but Hate EA. A list of no particular order and a misleading title: by Ruby.

1. (Lets start with something good) A sim is like your self, but better because it's made of pixels.
2. EA's marketing team. Nuff said. I mean really, it was 'accidentally leaked', really!?!??!
3. You can kill your sims 7 different ways....I think.
4. Lets have some patches here!
5. Sims can make you happy. I remember one day I was feeling extremely angry. I got on my computer, fired up TS3, and killed the whole town. Man, that felt good.
6. The TS3 website is completely nonfunctional.
7. I love building strange houses and creating villages from my imagination.
8. Well...this isn't really about EA...more about the nasty people on their stupid malfunctioning forums...
9. The TS3 community inspires me to be creative and outgoing. I am amazed at the work some of these people produce. Seriously.
10. Sadly, the simgurus do nothing to encourage this when they ban people simply for capitalizing words.

And thus ends my rant, as promised in the somewhat misleading title. Although I would have liked to have put more, I think I summed up all the fun stuff and the bad stuff in one list. (To put it plainly) Basically, TS3 relives stress, most of which was created by EA.

And now my rant is truly over and thus I sign off with these words of wisdom. (Actually from a site called words of wisdom O.o)

The purpose of life is to become happy. The purpose of life is to challenge and triumph over the darkness of misery. 



I think that sums things up perfectly. 

Scraping the Sky : Chapter One

Scraping the Sky : Chapter One

Dear Diary,

Me again. The classes at the college are going well. All my hard work has finally paid off and I got an A in my logic class this term. I’m really proud of myself, seeing as that was no easy task. You know, I haven’t been to any of the clubs here in Bridgeport yet. I’ve gotten ahead of myself again. I don’t want this to turn out like my life back home.  Gosh, I’ve really got to stop spending so much time on my IQ and worry about my *SQ a bit more. Yea! This Girl’s going to have a social life. J

Famously Yours,

Lola Han.

*RL*

I jumped in the elevator, ready for a night on the town. I had no idea what to expect and I loved it! Being spontaneous is a wondrous thing and I can’t imagine why I haven’t tried it before!

There I was, reading the Logic textbook, studying for my exams, when suddenly a thought came to me.

What am I doing in here, when I could be out there?

I admit, it wasn’t very brilliant, but I’m reveling in its simplicity. I’ve never had this kind of freedom before and I’m so excited I could just scream. Not that I’d want to do that because I’m in an elevator, of course. The echo would haunt me for days.

I got down to the lobby of my building and selected a name at random from a list of hot spots. The Brightmore it is!

I shook out my bun and let my hair loose in the strong summer wind that swept through the funnels of skyscrapers. I didn’t care about attracting looks as I took off my painful heels because the pavement was so blissfully cool on my bare feet. I ran, digging my toes into the lush dirt of the plantings along the sidewalk. Yes, it’s good to be free. 

I arrived at the club, after a few blocks, and decided it was probably in everyone’s interest if I used the bathroom on the first floor to wash up. After my initial excitement, I was starting to put things in perspective. The bouncer would never let me in if I turned up looking like a wild animal.

After I’d gotten my hair back in order, I went in the official looking door. *Yea, too much description* I even spotted a handsome face along the way, although I can’t say the same for his clothes… Wow, I haven’t really given much thought to a potential husband.  Anyway, we got in the elevator and that was the last I saw of him for the rest of the night. Some things were never meant to be. 

I had a great time at the club. I didn’t even have time to think about how tired I was. The bouncer let me in: no problem. I strolled through the velvet ropes like a queen. I was born to live like this. 

“Fried Chicken, extra hot sauce.” I was a pro. When the food came, I was surprised at how delicious it was! Now, I might have downed one drink too many, but I was feeling bubbly that night and I decided to hit the dance floor. 

Now, I’ve never been one for caged in places -- makes me feel claustrophobic – and that’s exactly what the dance floor at the Brightmore looked like. My eyes wandered across the hall and I noticed the VIP area, free of fences, and the bouncer had just gone on break. Now was my chance.

I picked myself up and dashed over there, hoping to sneak in unnoticed. I worked, no one saw a thing and I had free reign over the VIP section.

 I danced the night away with not a care in the world. (And Celebrities J)   

If this is freedom, than I’m reaping the benefits.

I know I shouldn't be happy but.....

Well, after 5 hours of writing stuff down with brown pen in a composition notebook, I'm finnaly ready to release my modeling comp. Be warned, there is a fair amount of writing involved too. Although I hope not too much. ;)

Anyway, here's the basic description of it. You can learn more here: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/0/360280.page#5016402

Scraping the Sky : Prologue

Prologue 

Dear Diary,

Yea, it’s me. Lola Han. I’m a girl with a proper upbringing living it up in Bridgeport. Well, not really. You see, I just moved here and things haven’t been too easy. I haven’t been able to find a job and I can hardly bring myself to talk to anyone. They’re all so…wild. I don’t know…I’m not used to this sort of thing. Oh, well. I guess this serves me right for leaving my old life without a trace. I was miserable then, but I suppose I should have at least left a note. No matter. I take solace in my books and chess, the one thing I’m an absolute genius at. Huh, can’t think of anything else I want to write down.

See you. – Lola Han

P.S. Okay, so I’m not the best writer….

*Real Life* listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJoyehbeMNU&feature=related

I sat at the kitchen table, my hand shaking from holding the book so long. If I wanted to make a career out of chess, as was my plan, I had better get my act together and learn some logic, Even if that meant staying up long into the night studying. The digital clock on my nightstand beeped. Midnight. I sighed and set book down.  I’ll leave the rest for tomorrow.

The next day, seeing as I was still a relatively new arrival in the apartment complex, a couple of neighbors came to visit. During my first few weeks, I quickly learned that here in Bridgeport, they’re big on welcomes. Just like I’m not big on remembering names…

A woman who had on a rather odd shirt came up, this time, and we chatted for a bit. She wasn’t exactly pretty, but one look at her chest told me that the men would be on her like flies on honey. After that, our conversation deteriorated and she watched a game on TV while I studied.

The weeks flew by; I hadn’t left my 

apartment in months. I’d enrolled at the local community college and had been working my butt off for the past three weeks at my online logic class; the only class I really cared about. I hadn’t been big on school when I was younger, either, but my parents insisted that I get all A’s and that I have proper manners. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with this…it’s just that they expected me to be studying at the kitchen counter when they got home from work every day and never allowed me to have time to myself. Even for friends. I don’t miss that part of my life at all, but I would have liked to have one, just one, friend.

Bridgeport sounded like just the place for me, with its bustling night life and towering skyscrapers. There was a time when I couldn’t wait to break free. 

Sad

:( Sad face. I typed a whole chapter of my legacy and then pressed a wrong button...it was gone in milliseconds. Oh well. You know, I'm starting over. This time will be my fourth attempt and I'm not going to do anything the traditional way. This time, it's going to be a story.

Anyway, I've been having a glitch. Randomly, money will be added to my sim's accounts. Just the other day, a little +$1000 came up on the screen and waved away. I was perplexed. My sim doesn't have a job, isn't a celebrity, and only knows 3 people. Anyone else have this problem?

To conclude, What do you think of Daylight Dreamwalking as a name for my modeling competition?

Scroll Down

I looked at the page counter today...still dismally low, but it's almost doubled this week. I'm at 68 page views instead of 36. Now, I don't know if that's something to be proud of but.....

Ohmigosh! Who am I kidding? That's horrible!!!

Also, brief update on the legacy. I found the name of my founder: Amelia Aeron.

Meh. I searched and I searched

You know, it's extremely hard to find a good writing competition on TS3.com. They all seem to peter out after a while. :( I've joined one, started another. Neither of which have made it past the first assignment. Oh well, at least there's no short supply of modeling competitions. But you know what you have to look for in these type of things? Well, I'd look for someone who is at least 18 or appears to be mature enough to host and judge one. I've joined the same Comp. twice  now, and they've just been too irresponsible to even get things off the ground after a number of weeks. I'm getting fed up.

So to hell with all their crap, as of now i'm planning my own comp. And i'll be sure to have all the assignments ready before I even announce it. :D

DOH!!!!!!!!!!! God I hate dishwasher baby. *Eyes catch on fire*

Global Warming

You know, in light of the recent disasters that rocked the world and made everyone run for the caves screaming '2012', I have decided to put in my 5 cents ;D (Yea, thats right, I said 5 Cents) on global warming.

Now, many people are trapped under the false information that Global warming does not effect them and that global warming only takes action in the summer, if at all. It is this obliviousness that will drive us all to our dooms. You see, when the Earth's temp. rises, the Polar ice caps melt. They melt, the sea rises. When storms brew, they sweep up more water and hence forth; have more power. The storm turns into a hurricane or a giant storm. It destroys your house and the surrounding landscape. But not only do these things come up in the summer as deadly hurricanes, they also come in the winter. As the American North East saw head on this winter. Haha, you may laugh now, but you won't be laughing when it's you.

So it goes like this.  Pollution---> Hole in ozone---->Polar Ice Caps Melt----> Sea Rises----> Storm Forms-----> Becomes Hurricane/Blizzard----> Destroys landscape and your house. ------> Inconveniences you.

So really, We Inconvenience ourselves. But the irony doesn't stop there, and neither does mother nature. Actually, Mother Nature has stopped, we've all but destroyed an equilibrium that has existed for trillions of years...and we're paying the price. But so is everything else we share the planet with.

Pollution
-We breath it in
-hole in ozone

Ozone
-Polar Ice caps melt
-More harmful radiation from the sun get to earth
- Earth's temp rises

Ice Melts
- Polar Bears die
- Ecosystems are destroyed
- Sea Rises

Sea Rises
- Ecosystems are destroyed
- floods
-Towns flooded
-Cities underwater
- more water
-Big storms

Big Storms
-Come more frequently
- larger
- more destructive

Landscape
- Animals loose homes
- You loose your house
- Flooding
- stuff buried
- Landslides
- less trees
- More greenhouse gases

More Greenhouse Gases
- Well, everything justs started all over again, doesn't it.

Just a few pictures to put this all in perspective.

Pollution:


Droughts:


Storms:


Stuff Underwater:


Ice Melting:


Polar Bears Die:


Ecosystems Destroyed:


Storms:


Starvation:





Is this what we want? Do we want a mass extinction on our hands as thousands of ecosystems are destroyed.I think us humans can do better than this. We made the problem, now we fix it. We won't let those animals die! We won't let those children starve! We won't deny it isn't happening, we'll try and fix it. Don't you see what our earth is becoming? Don't you see what is happening?  Don't wait around for 2012, get up and pay attention to whats happening right under your nose. And make an effort to do something. May it be recycling or donating or researching. 2011 is the year for change, the year for hope. But only if we make it the year for change, the year for hope.

Save the Polar Bears! Save the Earth!!! Fight Global Warming!!!!!!

Update on Earthquake

Terrible. :'(
