Hey dudes! Two things.

1) So you remember when I posted Paparazzi from Hell like two entries ago and said I was never going to be happy with my first mashup? Apparently I lied, because last week in a fit of "productivity" I said screw it and redid the whole thing from start, and since the first time I made it I've learned better techniques (e.g.: use the Time Shift tool, don't do it the moron way) and basically I am just a million times happier with it, so! Since you guys were so nice and encouraging about Paparazzi from Hell, here is my other Celldweller vs. Gaga mashup, Louder Than Bad Romance. This one has even more ridiculous backstory than Paparazzi from Hell, but it still all boils down to "lol, injokes", essentially, so let's skip it.

If you couldn't tell from the (uninspired mashup-style) name, it's Celldweller's Louder Than Words mashed with Lady Gaga's Bad Romance. Eventually I will do something that is not Celldweller vs. Lady Gaga. Probably.

2) I recently got a new computer, a laptop which I love to death and back, and yesterday I finally bit the bullet and decided to see if Sims 2 runs on it because I miss that game like burning and also, I confess, I miss some people in the community too. Long story short, halle-fucking-lujah, it runs! Pretty well, even. Maybe better than on my old desktop. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get Kingfisher Green or my old downloads off my orphaned hard drive, which means I get the joy of building a neighborhood and a downloads folder from scratch. But I wasn't crazy about all the stuff packs I had installed before, so maybe this will turn out to be awesome instead of ujherkgjrhekjhfjksdffd-inducing.

So, um, yes, I'm simming again! At least once I get downloads sorted, and probably on a much more limited basis, given that I have more important commitments like the novel I am co-writing with my bestie, not to mention my own novel, and a job (omg ew, work) and probably school. But SIMS, GUYS, OH MY GOD I AM SO EXCITED EJUHEFjzkhskdjshd as you can see because I keep degenerating into keysmashes.

Yay! Welcome back to the simming world. Hope you'll stick around. What are your novels about?

I have the reverse problem from you--my hard drive's fucked but I think the rest of the laptop might be OK. But I can't tell. And I'm getting a new one anyway--the old one's five years old.

I haven't listened to your mashup yet, but I will once I'm on my own computer again. Good to see you made another one--I think Lady Gaga music can benefit from a little bit of creepiness.

:> Thank you! I plan to stick around for awhile. Um, one novel is about demons and the other is about zombies, so. Horror stuff.

Oh dear, I hope you're able to get that sorted!

Yay, another mash-up! This one is equally awesome.

I'm happy to hear you're simming again! The timing is funny, considering I heavily stalked your old Kingfisher Green posts the other day and was missing your updates. I've been undertaking a huge restoration of my game over the past few months too so I feel you on the rebuilding your downloads part. I haven't even actually started building or anything yet, just decorating for sims contests.

Thank you!

And thank you again XD That is sort of odd timing, I guess! I was looking at some of my old entries and missing the game horribly, and then

pooklet showed me some pictures from her game and that clinched it. Ugh, I hear you on the decorating. I'm not looking forward to building a neighborhood from scratch.

O Kingfisher Green, how epic thou art. *slowly wipes away a tear*

Alas, poor Kingfisher Green, I cannot reach it. The hard drive must have died at some point. Now I get the joy of building a new hood from scratch. .___.

I AM SO EXCITED YOU CAN SIM AGAIN!!! The community hasn't been the same. :/

Alssoooo, wow! You're writing a novel?

I have been writing one novel or another since I was about ten, because I am one of those odd writer-y types that knew from when they were wee things that that's the only thing they want to do. (Before that I just wrote short stories.) But at the moment I am only working on two, my co-op one with my best friend, and then one of the million story ideas of my own.

Oh wow. That's totally awesome! :)

And ♥

Also because I suck and hit post too early: Thank you, that's such a kind thing to say. :D

Although I'm slightly late to the party, I'm glad to see you're back in the simming world. I kinda missed your updates from Kingfisher Green, so yay!
