Just whining...

[strangetomato]

So I finally have a stretch of uninterrupted time to work on the story this evening, but the scenes I need to shoot are just too involved. I don't feel like doing it. I need to create sets and get the right clothing, etc., and it's just feeling like too much hassle. My brain feels like mush; I can't even figure out how to get the bunkbeds out of the Grand Trianon Collection (I could have sworn there used to be metal ones there, but I can't find them). This is a bad sign. Maybe I should work on some of the scenes that are more immediate. Where's my focus? It's gone. Brain = mush.

I wanted to use Gunmod's Radience Light System for one of the scenes, but I have to confess that the instructions for installing it just confused me and I think I'm chickening out. What if I can't take it back out? I guess I'll have to just leave the beautiful and dramatic sim photography to the people that are actually good at it and settle for being competent but unremarkable.

Verdict for today: massive fail all around. I might as well get out a raft and float down the street to pass the time instead (yeah, it's raining like crazy here). Whhheeeeee!

I like to say I'm a Knowledge/Grilled Cheese sim, but all my wants revolve around money, so maybe I'm really a Fortune sim...

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm just a cheese sim. Any type of cheese will do. Yum.

I find that hard to believe. Even moldy cheese? Easy Cheese? Cheese from romance novels? Gack. Romance novel cheese is the worst!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Okay, I might not want to know, but what's Easy Cheese?

And moldy cheese is awesome, as long as it's blue cheese. :D

But yeah, I draw the line at romance novel cheese. Maybe.

Easy Cheese is... disgusting. Its cheese in a bottle, like whipped cream. I'm not even sure if its real cheese.

A little bit of romance novel cheese is okay... But not TOO much. Sometimes its funny. Sometimes its horrible. But when it comes from real people, its very nasty, I believe.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Ugh. Cheese should never come from a bottle.

I also agree that real people should never sound like a romance novel. :P But sadly, sometimes they do.

[abbycat900.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

Its very sad indeed. My friend just broke up with a guy who was always sending cutesy little cheese riddled text messages to her. They broke up and she asked 'Do you think he got it all from a book?' and I thought to myself (it was a rhetorical question, she never wants answers. She just wants people to listen so she can talk.) 'I HOPE he got it all from a book. If he thinks like that usually, well, there must be something wrong.'

She just wants people to listen so she can talk.

Most people do. If you listen and ask people questions about themselves, you'll have a lot of friends, it seems. :P

I'm a good listener! Or, maybe its just that I'm a good talker. With her at least, I'm a good listener because I keep my mouth shut. She's the sort of person who will criticize everything I say. 'I'm getting my hair cut' will most likely be responded with 'But your hair is already so freaking short already!'.
