I woke up singing this in my head

more sims!

I’ve been playing so much of The Sims these last couple of days. I’m either playing that or working. I’ll be posting some pictures soon of what my house looks like. I’ve built a new one with an awesome garden. I’ve got a lot of my skills pretty high up there on the scale, so after I max out a couple more of them, then I’m going to start working on getting the other ones done.

I’ve also gotten into collecting seeds, bugs, and rocks that are around and so that’s fun to do.  I’ve donated them to science and I’ve gotten some nice money from that. I think I might get a part time job at the graveyard again.

New Simon’s Cat video!

Yay!

What I’ve been up to…

I improved my speakers.

Did a bit of gardening. I have a tomato plant, grape vine, and an apple tree.

Played chess on my computer. I like that I don't have to buy a table anymore.

...continued to play chess.

And I've maxed out my handiness skill! Woo discounts on build and buy mode stuff.

In real life I’ve just been working still. Last week I actually worked every day that we were open which was tiring. I’m pretty pooped to say the least. I cut Momma’s hair again yesterday and it’s pretty much how it was the first time she had me do it, but a little shaggier and she’s got some side-swooped bangs. It’s like Joan Jett hair.

It was still a little wet 'cause I washed it afterwards but you get the idea.

This part of my iTunes is just awesome.

I hit one song and I’m like, “Oh! Good one” then a few other awesome ones come up. I love when I hit all these songs at once. The only problem is I say I’m just going to listen to one more song and then I get caught up in a few.

I asked a client at work today if she wanted some water while she was waiting for her highlights to develop and then helped one of the assistants take out her foils and she gave me a $10 dollar tip in an envelope and said I was very sweet! That just about made my day!

One of my friends is going to let me cut their hair too which is pretty exciting. I’m going to do something similar to what I did to my Mom’s hair but make the layers a bit more defined.

I was going to say something else but I completely forgot. I saw a Twisted Sister concert on TV today, made me happy.

The following huge orange thing under this is actually supposed to be a video that’s suppose to embed itself but it doesn’t want to and I’m too lazy to edit it all so it works. It’s just a link to a video from this comedy show aimed towards people my age. In a nutshell there’s two guys driving and they listen to “Cars” by Gary Newman and dance.

Two pictures from my game.

I’ll have to post some more later of my backyard that I completely switched around. I have a little garden going and some flowers and it’s pretty neat.

I ate a bulb of garlic on my couch and got garlic breath which I found hilarious. I brushed my teeth right afterwards.

My grandfather is good at fishing in his game so I figured it was time for me to start practicing. Here I am in the graveyard (I have a part time job there) fishing.

My character traits are good, good sense of humor, natural cook, vegetarian, and frugal. I had a job at the diner, but I quit and now just have my part time job at the graveyard. I’m a burial specialist at the moment, but may get a promotion soon.

I live in a nice small house, with a pool in the backyard along with my garden. I had a pond but I got rid of it yesterday. Originally I just wanted to put my bubble bath and rubber duck in the tub so that I could use them later on, but I ended up renovating my yard. It was worth it though, Taryn really likes it.

I’m glad that in this game you get the large privacy fences again. In TS2 you  didn’t unless you wanted to have it all tiki themed. I just have a nice wooden fence surrounded my yard. I’d totally live in my house.

One more pride picture.

Capital Pride Pictures!

Man, I had so much fun yesterday it. It had to be one of the best days that I’ve had in a long time. It was so nice seeing everyone so happy and comfortable with everyone around. People were so happy that they were crying, cheering, and would just take your hand and hug you; didn’t matter if they knew you or not, they just wanted to say hi and thank you. It was funny being thanked for something that everyone should do. Not that everyone needs to go to DC for the parade, but just embrace people no matter what, who, or how they are.

It was awesome to be in the parade too instead of watching it from the sidelines. Being with PFLAG who has helped a ton of families in the parade was nice too, everyone would look at you and thank you for helping them out in some way and would yell that they used to go when they were younger and still do now.  I could repeat myself for hours on end, but it was just a great experience. Plus the weather was great, I got a slight tan.

Anyway, here’s a few pictures:

It was World Wide Knit in Public Day so I did a little bit of knitting.

Held the PFLAG banner with my friends for the chapter I go to!

People took a ton of pictures of us. Some professional photographers were there too!

Whenever we got to an intersection there were even more people.

A ton of people were hanging out their windows and balconies to cheer at us.

I really like this one.

More balcony people!

This picture sums up my whole day. It's my favorite one I took. I can't wait to go back next year.

This is kinda cool.

LOL SARCASM.

Tomorrow there’s a chance of thunderstorms around 3pm through the evening when I’ll be in the parade.

Long time no post.

Pride is this Saturday! Super excited to go. Last year I ended up not going ’cause of the weather (it rained pretty hard) so I hope it’ll be alright this time around. We do have a 20% chance of rain so we’ll see. Maybe I’ll have to bring my rainbow umbrella.

In other news I have the Sims 3 and it is pretty cool. I’ve a few people and it’s just super fun to play around and look around town to see what’s going on and all the different character traits change what your sim does and all. It’s pretty awesome. I’ll have to post some pictures of some of the people. One is an obnxious rude fat guy that’s really fun to play, then there’s a 1950’s couple that are absolutely adorable, and I made myself! My sim looks pretty neat and wears clothes I’d actually wear. I love this game! Thanks so much for getting it for me MomMom and PopPop!
