Frances J. is The Man, it would seem.

Thanks to everyone who voted in my poll for chapter 28. The results have given me a clear plan for how to approach it, and the order should work out perfectly, now that I've thought about it (with maybe one exception, but that should be okay too). Our dear little Frances won by a landslide. I guess when you end up in simsecrets and such, you're a big friggin' deal.







"And in the darkened underpass
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
(But then a strange fear gripped me and I
Just couldn't ask)"





"Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care"





"Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one, da, da, da ...
Oh, I haven't got one"





"And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-tonne truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine"





"Oh, There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out..."



...

Hmmm... we seem to have caught him at a bad time. Or at a good time, since it's not every day he gets the house to himself for a heartfelt post-shower ballad. You don't exactly do that sort of thing with Tank around. ;)

Just a sidenote... I actually spent time getting him back to the neutral body shape (I could have used a hack, sure, but it was more fun to watch him gorge himself on take out), because I just don't see Frances having a six pack.

We'll pick back up here when it's time for the update. (Yes, at this exact spot.)

Now, if only Photobucket would stop being an idiot and let me see my photos again, I'd be all set. I'm so used to using it... and changing is hard.

I can see your banner, but that's it. In other news, SQUEEEEE. Frances is so adorable, and him singing awfully (I don't imagine he got the musical genes like Edie did, besides playing piano) is just more adorable! You KILL me, ST. :D

I re-hosted the banner, that's why. It's now in my livejournal scrapbook. I'm going to that for all the permanent images.

I don't think he'd be awful, but he's probably not a great singer. He's competent enough, but he wouldn't likely sing for an audience if he could help it.

*tips hat*

The pleasure - the privilege is mine. ;)

Sweet, the rehosting thing worked.

Now I feel smart. *sings* I am so smart. S-M-R-T (just smile and nod, for me these moments are so very few and far between)

pBucket is still being a turd? *shakes fist* I agree, change is a pain in the ass (and highly over rated).

OH, and "WORK IT BOYEEEEE!!!" *waves single simoleons* "WOOT! WORK IT!!!" *clears throat and looks around* Uhm, yeah. . .I should just. . .*slinks away*

Yeah, you should feel SMRT... it was a good idea. It worked for the entries, and I don't have any bandwidth to deal with on the livejournal scrapbook (not that I know of, anyway).

I have no idea why it's not showing yet. Some people can see it too, apparently. *shrugs* I'll wait a couple more days, and then I'll worry.

*snicker* Shhh... you'll frighten him away. Though I'm sure he'll take your money. Greedy little fortune sims...

Did you re-host the side pictures (on your journal) too? I could have sworn I saw them yesterday but now they're "Upgrade to Pro today!".

The banner is still good.

I don't envy you your task, that's for sure. *wipes sweat from brow* Thank god I'm not popular.

No, I just rehosted the banner, but I should do those side images too.

So you saw it yesterday too? Someone else said that, but I haven't seen them back at all. I don't understand what's going on at all. Shouldn't the month reset at the beginning of the month? Or does Photobucket just go by it's own calendar? I'm starting to get irritable about it.

I don't think the lj scrapbook even has bandwidth restrictions (or does it...), so the banner should be good now.

*sigh* Yeah, what a funny turn of events. I want people to read this, but now I have to PAY for it? Well, you have to spend money to make money, right... Oh, wait. *snicker*

[identity profile] madame-ugly.livejournal.com 2008-10-03 12:48 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I never saw the banner until you re-hosted it.

Make a sim secret about your pBucket hate!

(I just made three secrets. I hope I did it right.)

[identity profile] strange-tomato.livejournal.com 2008-10-03 12:53 pm (UTC)(link)
But you saw other images? I'm confused. *hates Pbucket*

Really? Heheh. I need to toss together at least one now.

Now... what would be most amusing?

[identity profile] madame-ugly.livejournal.com 2008-10-03 12:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I *thought* I saw your side images (when your banner came back up). But I could just be confused.

Two of my three secrets are funny. And all three are True Facts.

So you're doing the true confessions type of secret? I'm not sure I'd have the guts to do one that wasn't sim related, even as a secret. All my actual secrets are secrets for a reason. I suppose I could just sort through it all find something that's funny, though.

I have a good idea for something silly, but I'm sure people will know it was me.

[identity profile] madame-ugly.livejournal.com 2008-10-03 01:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, they're not deep and dark. They're more like admissions than SECRETS (you don't tell SECRETS to anyone, ever, period).

I like the admission type secrets (like the pants pooing one). I like sim ones when they're NOT the snippy/gossipy ones (like the GOS ones and all the "stop picking on so and so" stuff *yawn* BORING), like that Bigfoot one (that's still one of the best--well done, creative and FUNNY).

Some of the "wtf" for cc are fun, too (like the butthole skin--I think that's still the all time best secret).

I guess that's my problem. I don't have any issues with just saying the things that go into most admission-type things, or maybe I just don't have any really good ones. I'd probably confess a real secret to postsecret, but not simsecret.

Hmmm... I really should try to think of something... why am I so boring? *snicker*

I don't know the Bigfoot one. What was it?

But yeah, the dual-asshole one was pretty great.

[identity profile] madame-ugly.livejournal.com 2008-10-03 01:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I woulndn't even post a good admission to post secret (that shows you all the better my three sim secrets are). I've only done one of those "secret" things once before (on some random site). That admission was pretty good, though.

The bigfoot one? If memory serves, it was done to look like postcard and it was about how bigfoot gets the shaft (not having she-bigfoots and such).

[identity profile] strange-tomato.livejournal.com 2008-10-03 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm... I don't really remember it.

I think Bigfoot gets a pretty good deal, really. He's pretty skilled, and he has a sweet vest to wear to work.

[identity profile] madame-ugly.livejournal.com 2008-10-03 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
And that bowler. Don't forget it.

But he can never know LOVE. *cues violin music* That's just so sad. *snicker*

[identity profile] strange-tomato.livejournal.com 2008-10-03 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, but he'll never know what he's missing either.

(And there's always the Bigfoot romance mod.)

[identity profile] madame-ugly.livejournal.com 2008-10-03 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
But he WILL. What if he moves in with a sim family?

See, its narrow minded comments like "he'll never know what he's missing" that kept Servos oppressed for SO LONG. *snicker*

(the romance mod is a step in the right direction)

Servos can get in on the sweet, sweet sim action, can't they? They're love machines. *snicker*

[identity profile] madame-ugly.livejournal.com 2008-10-03 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, Servo's can get their love on. But there are those out there who don't think they have the same feelings as other sims, who want to relegate them to second class citizens. . .mere hired help. . .appliances. *snicker*

I think I'm giddy (and have been soaking up to much political crap today, I'm in Servo Rights mode).
