After the Calling

Okay, so Decieving the Lie: Part III is long as hell, and I’m SO pissed with myself for not considering my own plight when I wrote it.  I broke it into two parts to post simultaneously, but that’s just not going to happen. I’m posting Part A now. Part B will be up soon, just not today. I’ve discovered Silent Lucidity’s OMSPs Revisited and Improved, and they make me feel like I can do anything. AND I CAN! With treeag’s freezer clock and these damn shiftable, angled OMSPs, damn them to hell, I can make my sims do whatever little stupid, crappy, difficult, poo-filled poses that comes into my brain… and it takes me 14 billion years to do it.  I HATE THIS! I hate this confidence in my posing abilities! I can no longer give up on a pose using the excuse that “It just can’t be done,” BECAUSE NOW IT CAN BE DONE. Thank you for adding hours and hours to the simming process you creative, helpful, inventive minds! UGH!

 *Sigh* I’ve also binged on poseboxes recently, and these unlabled, barely useful, but somehow undeletable boxes of madness are helping to make my simming life a living hell. I’ve decided to hate poseboxes, despite having, like, 30 of them.

So… Part B… I’ll finish it eventually, and then I’ll post it, and then I’ll bitch about how long Part IV is.

The pics aren’t really edited, outside of small stuff, because I was playing around with soft-focus sharpening and all I was getting was poo. It’s mainly because my graphics card was going in and out of consciousness while I was taking pics and basically doing it’s own version of soft-focus sharpening. That jerk. So, with the patience of an angry wildebeast, I completely abandoned the editing process all together. I hope the shots aren’t too bad. But they really aren’t good. I don’t think I’ve ever had graphics this bad.

There is a smidge of discontinuity in the lighting thanks to a jackass fireplace, one shot with a visible OMSP, and Mickey’s hair mesh is a SPAZ… but I would rather shoot my computer in the face than reshoot a picture.

Okay. Angry ranting over. Have fun.

Hey all. Nothing much to say. I’m home, but I’m lagged out of my brain and I spent my Saturday sleeping, reading, and simming. That and pissing my bof and my friends because I just spent a Saturday sleeping, reading, and simming. Eh. I had a great time. I hope I can do it next Saturday, too. *Sticks tongue out*

Warnings: Profanity.

Hi! So my Storyteller Spotlight interview is up over at the LJ sims storyteller community. I was going to post it here also, because I’m hosting the pics here, but my website decided that it wanted to delete all of my spewage, because it’s being all cannabalistic again. I didn’t feel like redoing it right this minute… because copy-pasting is so hard. I’ll post it somewhere around here eventually but, if you are interested in hearing my insanity, link is below.

Hi all! I’m sooooo excited about this chapter, I’m just in love with it. I’m so ready to start it, especially since I have an interview going up on Monday over on the LJ Sims story teller’s community and I don’t want that bloated overdrawn last part of Secret to be the thing that people see first if they decided to come check it out.

Updating now is actually a bit of a necessity because I’m abroad right now for work, and I haven’t done anything work-related. Just writing and simming (ON MY WORK COMPUTER! EEK! EARTH IMPLOSION! No, seriously, it’s like the one thing I can do to get myself fired.). So I feel like I should just put this up so that I can stop staring at it and maybe think about doing my job so I can go home.

Warnings… profanity, adultery, sexual situations and vampy goodness… oh yeah…or since this supposed to be a warning: vampy badness… oh no.

There are also a couple of pictures that suffered at the hands of my terrible photoshopping skills, and might have spots that look a bit wonky. BUT THE GRAPHICS ROCK (mostly)! WOOT!

Frickin’ finally. This update will mark the end of this chapter.  It’s even longer than the last update (and was the bane of my existence for the past month). There is a smidge of Spanish, and I’ll leave a translation at the end. I speak Spanish kind of by accident, because I come from an unbelievably racially mixed family with a smidge of “I am Spanish” background and another smidge of “I learned Spanish” background . Columbian/Russian Spaniard for a maternal grandma. Chilean/Lebanese Syrian for a paternal grandma. English/South African and French Canadian maternal granddad who spent 12 years in Spain, meeting my grandmother and learning Spanish. Japanese American and Black paternal grandfather who works for the UN with a job description that is literally to “speak languages” (one of those being Spanish). All of that said, my mom pretends to understand French but pretty much only speaks English. My dad speaks English, teeerrrible Japanese, and has a sporadic understanding of German (for like, no reason. Seriously, I have yet to figure out why he kind of, sort of knows German). My overexplained point: SOMEHOW Spanish managed to trickle down from my grandparents enough for me to understand it perfectly and speak it proficiently. Despite being able to speak it, when it comes to writing and grammar, I’m at a first grade level. So I can’t promise that the Spanish in this update is grammatically sound… very much like my English.

What I’m trying to say is that nearly ten nations of the world joined together for the sole purpose of bringing heavy-handed Spanish to this update. That’s all I’m saying.

There is profanity, and violence, and nudity, and suggestive suggestions, and cheesy romantic sap in this update. I’m so glad this is up and over. Geez.
