From the Depths of an Airport Terminal
Yeah, so I was supposed to have gotten back home on Thursday. British Airways and Mother Nature decided that I wasn’t supposed to be home until the middle of Saturday. No, apparently, I had booked a tour of half the airport terminals in Europe, and a couple in the United States.
But you know, I was like, whatever. While Mother Nature was bitch slapping the north east coast of the US, I got to not be at work, which is worth being trapped in a foreign country, in my opinion.
I finally land at the appropriate airport and I am met with this statement from a guilty boyfriend: “Agent Smith went Crest-wild. He’s probably gonna have to get his stomach pumped.” Agent Smith would be the grand pooba of the three cats in my house. Crest would be a brand of toothpaste. Yes, the dumbass eats toothpaste, and he’s got a thing for Crest. I’ve lost many a toothbrush to that idiot. I’ve had to child proof all of the bathroom doors in my house, because he also OBSESSED with flushing the toilet (he taught himself how to do it) and then running around the rim of the toilet seat, chasing the water. He’ll do it over and over, wasting water and jacking my utility bill, until he falls in. Then, dripping with toilet water, he’ll sit in the sink and eat my toothpaste/toothbrush/hand-lotion, like a jackass. Will he play with cat toys? No. Cat gym? Nope. Toilets and toothpaste? Oh, but of course.
The childproofing usually works but occasionally he’ll find a way in and lose his brain. So after spending some time sitting in airport terminals, I had to go straight to an emergency vet’s office and sit for hours while they pumped that fool’s stomach. I was a wreck because I love that little ignoramus, and how dare he try to kill himself with toothpaste, that asshead.
But once they told me he was fine I was like, alright, whatever. It’s July 4th, the fam and friends are expecting us for the bbqs. Let’s just go and chill out, and we are just gonna have to go back to using Aquafresh because Smith is just not trustable when Crest is in the house.
Leave the cat at the vet’s overnight, do the bbq thing, and finally get home. Just wanna relax. But I can’t, because as I walk up my front walk from my boy’s car, something catches my eye in my driveway where my car is sitting peacefully… so I think. There is a slight glint that’s a little weird come from my tail light. I don’t have my glasses on so at first I think it’s nothing. But then I put my glasses on and suddenly MY GOTDAM FENDER IS GONE! And both my tail lights are cracked and glinting offensively in the sun light.
Turns out the boyfriend was doing… I don’t know, SOMETHING… with his giant ass, gas guzzing, fart monster fat ass, ozone-killing, I-wish-that-car-would-die, mini-truck, and he reamed my vehicular child. He definitely tried to explain what happened, but he might as well have been doing motherfluffin’ donuts in the driveway. My frickin’ fender? Is gone. Cut to Monday morning when I had to sit for an hour while the car was appraised at the dealer mechanics.
But, again, I’m like, whatever. I’m not good at being angry. Yeah, British Airways is a butthead. My cat is a butthead. My boyfriend is the father of all buttheads. But, brightside? All that sitting-down time that they afforded me, it gave me a minute to start revising my Character Background Section with pics. I’ve been wanting to do it for a while, and I’m not done… not even a little bit, but I like my start. Everyone who is up looks kind of different because these pictures are mix and matched from different computers that have different levels of custom content innudation, but I’m glad that I’ve finally figured out how I want to consolidate my sims and their traits. If you want, you can check out here: Character Backgrounds. And don’t get excited about the textures. I doubt my future updates will look that good. I’ll make note as I continue to add people, and eventually I get back to background stories (which you can access by clicking on the pics… that are clickable).
As for a story update? … … … …
… Well, I have another trip that I’m leaving for within the next 24 hours. I’m back Sunday. Next week is kind of poo, but we’ll talk next weekend. Eh? Ja.
And random pose-based note: ARM POSITIONS (crossed arms, body hold, daydreaming, etc.) ARE OVERLAYERABLE. This may mean nothing to you now, but POSING TUTORIAL HOLY SH*T.
“Crest-wild” *bwahahahaha!* Glad to hear that your nutty cat is doing well though. And the boy took off your entire fender?? He had better be planning, at the very least, a really nice gluten-free dinner. If that were my man, I’d still be giving him the stink eye. And nobody wants that.

That jerk ass cat came home today and he won’t cuddle with me. He’s just sitting in a corner being evil which is generally what he does when he comes back from the vet. But I have no sympathy. Maybe now he’ll keep his ass out of my bathrooms.
Oh my gosh, the boy went out and got me a mountain of avocados, and made me guacamole… which is like the “forgive all forget all” method… BEFORE I even saw the car. Like, I’m bitchin’ and being angry and then I walk into the kitchen and there is a giant bowl of guac in the fridge… and I’m just like “I’m going to have some guac/hummus wraps… but don’t think I’m done with you.” But I was so done. The first bite wiped my memory clean. Oh… food, how you abuse me.

hehe Angry kitty is angry. He’ll probably forget all about this in the near future and go for the toothpaste again at a later date. Cats can be weird. With my mother’s cat, it’s rubber bands and grocery bags. Endless hours of amusement may be had with those two items.
Mmm guacamole and hummus. *drools* Note to self- Veron can be bribed with food.

I’m in Florida right now, and I’m like TERRIFIED that that cat is going to get into something. I wanted to kennel them. All of them. The WHOLE ZOO. But my boy was about to take me family court if I dared send the pets/children to a kennel… No really, those are his kids. 4 dogs, 3 cats, 2 snakes, his babies. I’m trying to build an well-oiled animal machine, and he’s feeding them scraps off the table. They were MINE (well one dog and one cat we adopted together), and then he comes in and tries to take over the joint.
But yeah, I’m just hoping there isn’t a repeat of last weekend.
Oh my gosh, you could sell me into slavery for some brown rice, peas, and hummus. Gluten free peanut butter? I’d sell you my soul.

While I am sorry for your shit of a day this post had me all sorts of loling. A crest obsessed cat. And I thought my old cat was a unique one when he use to go yowling through the house as soon as everyone was asleep because he was …afraid of the dark, or the fact he wouldn’t bather himself to the point of where I just finally put him in the bath to get him wet, hoping he would lick himself clean to get the water off… instead I found the dumbshit sitting his fat furry ass on top of my quite expensive computer drying himself off on the fan blowing out of the top of the case while his drips water down it :/.. Although I admit him peeing in my husbands shoes on a regular basis because my husband pissed him off one time and from then on the cat decided he didn’t like him was beyond amusing to me.
I can’t believe he took your fender off.. and him letting you find it before even warning you. I hope there was at least a lot of ass kissing coming from his end! lol
I am enjoying reading the backgrounds and tidbits on the characters. Backgrounds are oodles of fun to write I think.

Hehe, yeah, I like laughing about crappy situations. Being angry takes so much energy from me, I can’t keep it up.
HA!!! HE DRIED HIMSELF ON THE COMPUTER FAN! HA!!! Your cat sounds like a handful, I don’t know what I’d do with him.
The boy SWEARS he mentioned the fender to me when he mentioned the cat… I don’t believe him. Maybe I just automatically reverted to “WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY CAT” mode, and completely ignored the bit about the car. But, ooooooh, was I unhappy. That was my first car that I got on my own. He’s never been nicked. I talk to him when I’m driving. HIS NAME IS LAYNE VERIS. I NAMED A CHARACTER AFTER MY CAR. And the Fender is gone??!? My FIRST CAR?! THAT HAS NEVER BEEN NICKED?! AND I LEAVE?! AND YOU TAKE MY FENDER OFF?!
Oh you must die.
But he had been prepared. Made me guacamole before I even got off the plane. And guacamole man… I can’t fight with that.
I’ve been trying to do these backgrounds for an entire year. I was doing the stories, but there was never really anything descriptive about the characters. I tried to do it once before, but I hated them. And I just tried again this past weekend, and was like… alright. I’ll take it.

I’m the same way. If you can’t find humor in yourself and lifes little mishaps you will be miserable for sure.. though it helps that I am beyond easily amused lol
Yeah that cat is a special kind of stupid, but then that is probably because my friends mom who was staying with us accidentally trapped him in the drier when he was a baby lol. We were all sitting around and kept hearing “thump thump” I was like “Do you have a shoe in there?” And she started freaking out because she said while she loaded it, she had to pull him out like three times, he hasn’t been right since lol… his name is Fluffytuff which was the name of my thief on an mmo and that my husband uses as his gaming handle on fps’s so naming your character after your cat isn’t that odd to me

Oh the character backgrounds were all that! As if there was any way to step up your story game you have found it! I just love how vital and developed each character is -right down to the physical details!
You even took the time to select the pics that seem to emulate their personalities as well- oh I think I am in character lust with every last one of them!
Speaking of lust – did I miss Loris Biljon Von Trott Solz Mozai in the story? Why oh why do I not remember that luscious piece of mancake?
*scrambles back through chapters vigorously to find*

yeah… no. Loris is not in the main story yet. He does make an appearance in Mickey’s background thingy, but he’s about to blow this thing apart. He’s pretty vital to… like… everything.
I wasn’t going to put his up until he actually made it into the story, but he was the first one that I did. He’s so FUN to play with. And then the ones that I should have done, like Roux, Rowanne, and Hadrian… totally didn’t.
And to be honest he only shows up about 4 or 5 times. But they’re all momentus appearances… mostly because he’s a bit of a perv. Like a big giant perverted perv. But he’s a big player in this game. In fact, dependeding, he’ll be in the next update, or the the one immediately after the next update.

hahaha WHY DOES LORIS HAVE SO MANY NAMES???
Penelope
July 9, 2009 at 5:28 pm
I loled so hard.
He’s an eccentric character that man. He needs every single one of those names just to contain his being.
Loris Biljon Von Trott Zu Solz Mosai. Damn right.
