Ho shit it's totes like a new update! It's a bit late. Sorry about that. It was very difficult to put together. I kinda...fail. Sorry guys! Uhm, hope you enjoy!

I love Regina and Nicole, they give me memes!!

( MEME!!!! )

Hey guys! So November 13 is To Write Love on Her Arms day. For those of you who aren't on SWG or who just didn't see, I wanted to post this here because it's a cause that really means something to me.

I recently realized how odd Canadian money is. It's not the colours, in fact, I quite like that it's coloured because I find it so annoying when I go to the states. You've got a chunk of money and no idea what denomination they are. You have to sift through them and I hate doing that at the till because...I just do. It's awkward.

NO! What makes Canadian money weird is the pictures!



Not the people, I don't know who any of them are except for the Queen but on the back! I mean, the five dollar bill has kids playing hockey on it. WTF is with that? The coins aren't any better! The loonie...well fuck it's called the loonie, and it has a loon on it. And the toonie has polar bears! Eh, polar bears are cool. Oh yea, there's a beaver on the five cent coin, a ship on the ten cent coin (anyone remember those Heritage commercials? The one with the ship, and they win that race or whatever it was that was going on? LOL!) And the quarter is always changing. Olympic shit, or children, or leaves or something. I don't know. It's weird.

Anyway, this has no point to it. I was just...like literally just struck by the oddness of my money. The End. =)

Edit: WHOA! I just realized that ship thing on the 20$ bill, I totally have a picture of that! It's this thing in the Vancouver airport! Cool!

So apparently my newest update isn't showing up on people's f-lists. I think I know why and I think I know how to fix it but that would involve me deleting the old post and making a new one. Which I admit, I'm not keen on doing. Also, thanks to the people who emailed me to let me know. I'm both surprised and pleased to know you actually care that much :)







^ This link will get you to the right post, sorry about that guys!

Well isn't this a bit of a surprise. I'm behind schedule but still, I have an update! It's new and shiney and homg it's been months! If you're still not caught up, check out my Legacy Archive.

warning: Coarse language, nudity, and we don't actually see the Shadow family once.

Yea, yea, I know, I'm a little obsessive when it comes to tweaking my simself to perfection. I can't help it okay!



( Just follow the link for goodies... )

We had a little hallowe'en and autumn photoshoot at SWG and I thought I would post my pictures from that here. I made a few extra for fun! lol.

So! I know I said I would have updates for you all within the first bit of October...well life has had other plans.

( Word vomit, I hear it's good times )

I used to be deeply embarrassed about my inherent nerdyness, but know what? I'm done with that. Why? Becuase I like who I am. I like my life and I like my friends and I like my interests. So here it is, my proclamation of nerdyness.

It's late here, just after 4 in the morning, but I'm up working on papers and I just have to say...it feels good to be back in my element. I just finished a paper this afternoon for my Sensation and Perception course, and it was like walking through molasses. Don't get me wrong, the biological side of psychology interests me. I find it hugely fascinating, and the human brain is an amazing, complex, and mysterious wonder. I enjoy it. But now I'm working on a paper for my counselling course and it's like a breath of fresh air. It's incredibly late but I'm feeling pretty fucking awesome. This semester has been hugely difficult for me and I'm reminded again why I'm in school, and why I'm putting in all this effort and time and energy, even when it's difficult. It's because I love it. Getting back into the behavioural aspect of psychology I'm reminded how much I love it, how naturally it comes to me. It's like breathing, and sure I still have to put effort into this paper (writing essays is not not like breathing to me lol) but the subject matter isn't complicated or tiring. It makes sense to me and that feels good. It feels good to read the case studies and go "yea, that makes perfect sense." It feels good to sit down to write and find the words flowing and my thoughts are cohesive and even excited. It feels good to know that I love this and want to work in this field for as long as I can. It feels good to do research and be excited about it. I find I'm not just reading through this information because I have to but because I want to, and I want to share it with people. It's always nice to remember you're doing something because you love it, and not just because it's "what you're expected to do." I need to remember this next time I'm feeling stressed out and like giving up. I need to remember that when I'm feeling cynical and bitter. I love the school I'm attending, I love the subject matter, and I'm excited for my future in this field. :)

Awesome possums guys. Awesome fucking possums :)

Okay guys, I'm not going to offer you the whole story or anything like that, I wish I could, but I don't think that would be prudent. But I'm pretty sure everyone on my LJ is an SWG member, and I wanted you to know that the site is hopefully not down for good and I am doing everything in my power to make sure it doesn't go down for good. Things have been said between Becki, Nicole and myself that have probably been less than pleasant, and I apologize to you all that you are being dragged into this. It's not right and it's not fair and I accept full responsibility for my part in this. I'm sorry, from the bottom of my heart, that you, as members of the Sims Writers Guild, are being punished for the actions of a nameless few. As for where we're going from here, well I'm not sure yet. I wish I had some answers. I do not. I can't give you too many details because it hasn't all been worked out, but suffice it to say, you will be updated. That is my promise to you. To our new members who joined just as this has happened (not that I have all of you on LJ, I'm hoping you'll find your way to this post) I'm so sorry. This is not in any way, shape, or form, how we wanted to represent ourselves. We are not this drama filled site. I promise you that, and I am hugely embarrassed and ashamed at how we're representing ourselves. When this site started it was supposed to be a warm and friendly place and I had honestly thought we had created that atmosphere but these last few days and the arguments that have sprung up have pointed to a different conclusion. So again, please accept this as an apology, I can only speak for myself, I cannot speak for Becki or Nicole, but I'm sure that they also didn't intend for you guys to be hurt by this. I know that I never intended for things to go this far. However, I do believe in this site, and what we tried to create with Sims Writers Guild. I believe that everyone at that site has the right and freedom to express themselves however they desire, whether we the admins or moderators agree with them or not. And I believe that everyone...everyone...at the forum has the right to be treated with respect, whether they are a new member, an old member, or a staff member. I take that belief to heart, and it's from that attitude, and that belief that I am apologizing. I just want you guys to know this, and I'm hoping you won't give up on us. :) Thanks guys.

I realized today that I just can't seem to be content with my work. I can't take pride in my accomplishments, and I always belittle them. Today I got a paper back from my teacher and I got 90% on it. Instead of saying "that's a good grade and I can be proud of that" I tell myself that my teachers must have really low standards because that was a garbage paper. I get 90% on a quiz and instead of being happy with it, I'm disappointed with myself for getting two questions wrong. How could I not get those two questions right? It's why I have such a hard time doing my schoolwork. I know that I will not be able to live up to the expectation I have of myself. Damn, I've really got to get over that. lol.
