strangetomatoDid you know that today is Delurking Day out there in the blogosphere?
That's right. So, let this be an invitation to anyone who'd like to introduce themselves and say hi. You know I'd love to hear from you. No pressure, of course, but you may as well delurk on Delurking Day, right? Come one, come all. Get a conversation started. I'm all ears.
This was a great day for me. I made some real progress on the next update, and there was RL good news all over the place. I was asked to interview for a job that had over 50 applicants and was pleasantly surprised to be offered another job that will stretch my experience significantly. I was also asked to be a bridesmaid in my "brother"s wedding this summer (actually a cousin, but we grew up together like siblings). I'd fully expect to win the lottery too, but I don't actually ever buy tickets.
Now, I should go out there and delurk too, shouldn't I?

Date: 2009-01-13 06:05 pm (UTC)Well, it's not 12th anymore, but we live in different timezones and I didn't see your post yesterday. Anyway, it's better late than never, right?
I've been following your story since... well, since you posted Merry Christmas from Strangetown chapter (December 23rd, 2007, had to check your archive for the correct date). I needed to go back then and read all from the beginning of course - that was about a week of every night reading. I keep on checking your journal since then. Am I the worst lurker here?
Your story is more than any sims story ever written. All of the sims are alive, they have such strong and different personalities. The way they talk and appear on your screenshots makes the reader believe they're real people with all their complex inner life.
Also, had to say this. Strangetown is my favorite neighborhood from the moment The Sims 2 was released. Alas, all of the original citizens passed away years ago in my game. I didn't ever reset Strangetown - I love them and their grand-grandkids too much for it. So, that was another reason why I love your story so much. I love looking at them living another lives in your game - and lives, pictured so perfectly!
Thank you. You're the best!
