A thought

I'm in no way trying to stop people from leaving LJ if they want to, but surely when all these other journal sites get wind of what happened at LJ they're going to be in the same legal situation as 6A. So far as I can tell 6A isn't doing this to be evol overlords, they're just trying to cover their backs

If the other journal sites don't do the same they could wind up in trouble

Right? Or am I missing the point?

Gah! Cliffhanger ending! I seriously hope Greg has some more of this.

Next on the list is We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver. This is going to be a hard book to reading, judging by what Mum-Ra has told me about it. It's a fictional story of a boy who commits a shooting in his school at the age of 15 and how his parents deal with what their son has done.

I'm not leaving but...

...how do I back up my LJ onto IJ. I understand you can do that.

The Sims drama continues

It won't surprise you to know that Tom's man-whorishness continues. He is now sleeping with Michael, Chloe and Spike and has fathered two children so far.

Spike has decided to follow in Tom's footsteps and is sleeping with Tom and trying to sleep with Buffy and the grocery delivery guy. LOL

Tom, yet again, was caught making out with someone else by Michael. Lois had to comfort him

Fandom stuff

I've got it! I know what I'm doing with my CLFF Wave 22 fic now. WHEE!

Today, before I settle down to play stupid amounts of Sims, I'm going to redesign my LJ. I've been meaning to do it for ages and today is the day. So, if you wander over and it looks a bit weird it's because I'm fiddling. LOL

I've also moved a load of my old Buffy fics over to fandomcorner. Still nowhere near done though...

Thoughts

Can someone have a look at my new layout and see what you think. I'm concerned the blue for the links might be a bit dark

*ponders*

Well, it looks like I'm not going to Leeds today which means, in theory, I could afford to go out and buy a DS. Means things will be a bit tight for the week and a half between writerconuk ending and me getting paid, but it could be done

I shall have a think while I shower and eat lunch

ROFL

I didn'y buy a DS but they had some good offers on pre-owned ones. Maybe after writerconuk is over...

I just rang my savings account people and the guy I spoke to sounded just like Sean Bean! LOL! It was amusing and kinda hot at the same time ;)

Uh oh

Things are not going well for Tom and Michael. They refuse to share a bed now and no matter how hard I try and get them to fall back in love they don't seem interested

Rose is doing well though. She's started school and Michael helps her with her homework. Pics to come when I finally admit defeat in my efforts to get Tom and Michael back together

Bug

Ok, Sims is buggy as hell. The reason Tom and Michael won't share a bed is because the game thinks someone is using it all the time. So only one other person can be in the bed at any given time. It won't let me remove the bed because it says it's in use

Any ideas how to fix it?

Similarly I've got an oven with some food on it that the sims refuse to take off so now they can't cook

Gah!

I give up!

No more sims posts from me. This thing is knackered.

On top of the bed with the invisible person in it and the oven with the invisible food on it now whenever I try and get the sims to cuddle in bed or in the hot tub they seemingly teleport out of it as soon as I hover the mouse over them

Fed up now

A happy end to the tale

I fixed the Sims bug. Thanks to everyone who offered advice

The Wellingbaum family is a happy home now. Tom has ditched his whorish ways and is now a devoted family man whose aspirations are all to do with Michael and Rose

Rose has grown up into a lovely looking teenager who already has aspirations of getting into a good private school and having her first kiss. I wonder if I can get baby Clark up to the same age as her because OMG it would be so cute!
