You got teased.

A slight change of direction is in order. I lost my in-progress saved Semagic file for Chapter 32 (very frustrating, as I had ditched my back-up version, like an idiot), but I was blocked really badly anyway. The loss made me not want to write on that at all for a while, so I decided to do something entirely different for Chapter 32. It came together pretty quickly. It's a bit of an aside, but it will explain a little more about a certain mystery, at least from one side of it.

And yes, I've decided to use witches (and not just faeries). Changed my tune on that one, didn't I?

I'm excited. I'll have sparkly magical funness in my game soon *crosses fingers*.

Oh, right... I do remember seeing you post on that. That's very cool. It's exciting to get new sim stuff.

I'm a big fan of Apartment Life. It's a great EP. Between that and M&G Stuff, you get the shiftable paintings and the quarter tile placement, which are both very useful.

Also, freezer clock! I don't use it nearly as much as I could, but it makes posing fun, and not at all an excercise in futility. Get those new OMSPs and you're good to go.

The freezer clock has me excited. I might LIKE posing pictures if it wasn't such a damn hassle.

And the more than one item on a wall has me nearly giddy. Why that didn't come with OFB, I'll never know (or with FT, who hangs only ONE potholder per wall section, come on!).

And (this amuses me) the toddlers being able to sleep in pet beds has me very pleased. Yes, you know all my toddlers will be using pet beds from now on.

I still have to be in the right mood to enjoy posing. If it feels like a chore, it turns me off. The freezer clock makes it far more enjoyable, though, and much quicker and easier.

Personally, I only hang one potholder per WALL. You hang more than that? *snicker*

I'll bet. You were even doing it BEFORE that EP came out.

I tried doing one of those challenges at the newish sim posing community (can't even remember the name) and it was NO fun. (you have to make a little story using no words, I can't go wordless).

*snort* Oh, my house is COVERED in potholders. The really cheap-o ones you can make on that little kiddie plastic loom thing (shit, what was that thing called--you could string these little cloth loops over the loom and make shitty potholders. . .).

You know what I mean (smartass). *snort* For sim stores, one potholder per wall was EpicFail.

If I had real kids (perish the thought) they'd sleep in dog beds.

Yeah, I've considered trying out one of those challenges too, but I'm not a huge fan of the three prompt structure. I have to try to tie those three words together in some sort of cute way? Meh. Doesn't really do it for me.

Still, I might give it a shot one day if one strikes my fancy. I do like the concept of the comm (I'm okay with wordless from time to time).

I hang one potholder per HOUSE. *snicker* I have many houses. (That's a lie, of course. I have zero houses.)

I love those hooked rag potholders! I have a rug I made that way out of old tee shirts (I'm a hippy somethings). I made the loom thingy myself.

What's that you said? Kids in dog beds? Eating the dog food?

*dials social worker*

*talks around foot in mouth*

Those really CHEAP little kiddie potholders? The ones that don't even protect you from heat when you try to use them? The ones your mom acted like she LOVED when you gifted her with them? (the old t-shirt rug sounds cool though, just like the rugs made from old bread bags)

The real laugh is, the social worker doesn't care if the kiddies eat pet food. As long as the brat's not hungry, that's all that matters. (and what child hasn't eaten pet food? mmmm, tender vittles!)
