I'm Sure Cartman Wouldn't Agree...

Anyone see tonight's Family Guy?  That was some of THE most hilarious shit I've ever seen in my life.  Laughed so hard I saw stars....it's just as funny the 2nd time, and (I'm sure) quite a hoot in an...inebriated state.  @_@

Apologies and explanations

I had planned on making a long post defending myself against TMN's comments about me.  But I don't have the strength to do it now.

I wasn't trying to "finger-wag" them at all.  I've kept mum about my feelings on TMN this entire time.  It hasn't ever seemed necessary to mention it.  For the record, I do NOT hate Mare's Nest.

About the TMN & Vid thing...

I'll post my comments on all of it in a little while after my head has cleared a bit.  I was really surprised to see that so much had gone on while I was away, and that I had been dragged into anything at all.

Vid and I are cool.  I'll get to the Mare thing in a bit.

Need a little input from you all...

I need to start a new project, and  I'm thinking of either doing a series of short stories or something comic book-like, or maybe doing a longer story (I'm HORRIBLE at legacies).

Most of the really good, funny, engaging, family-friendly, comical, interesting, edge-of-your-seat stuff has already been done in the simming community, so coming up with something unique is proving to be a huge challenge.  I have something in mind...but it would be a little on the fringes, so to speak.

So I wanted to get a little input from you guys.  What I really want to do is create something edgy, shocking, controversial, stomach-churning (you know, all the fun shit  ^_^).  It would be FAR beyond E for Everyone or T for Teen, so I'm curious as to how far I could go without completely offending EVERYONE (some offense is fine...hell, I can't please everybody...but I'm not trying to be the town weirdo here). I'm pretty open-minded, and it usually takes A LOT to offend me, but I don't want to go too far with something that will be read by others (and by others I'm referring to the 2 or 3 people that would actually care to read it  o_O).


How offended would you all be with:

• Cussing/swearing?
• Partial nudity?
• Full and explicit nudity?
• Graphic depictions (pictures) of violent acts/murder?
• Graphic descriptions (text) of violent acts/murder?
• Graphic depictions and/or descriptions of assaults/rape?
• Radical comments (from characters)?
• Racial comments (from characters)?
• Graphic discussions of controversial topics?
• Disturbing thoughts & ideas (from characters)?
• Controversial religious depictions/discussions?

Please keep in mind that I am a stable (kinda) adult and I'm not trying to release any hidden emotions or thoughts or make a statement anything similar. This is just a project that seems interesting to me at the moment.  Any of the themes above would be handled in a serious, true-to-life manner (unless I throw in  mutant powers or something cool, then all bets are off), but I wouldn't hold back or play it safe/politically correct.

Thanks so much for your input!

Vid's PermaBan and Other Banning Perplexities...

~~Alrighty...I know I'm guilty of looooong posts, and this is no different, but please bear with me for a bit -- I'm sorry for the lack of LOLcat pics and sparkly gif images, but please give me a moment:~~


OK. So by now we pretty much all know about Vid's permaban. Most of us like and respect Vid and feel really shitty about the whole thing. But no matter what you may personally think of her or the situation that CAUSED the perma, it should be glaringly obvious that something is seriously rotten with the terms of this ban.

Does anyone else find issue with the fact that EA forbids any further contact regarding a permaban, none whatsoever?

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

My own mom will be here in about an hour, so I'm scuttling around trying to get things in order. But here's to all the mothers out there -- if you're fortunate enough to still have your mother, reach out to her today. If yours is no longer with you, reach out to her still. If you are a mother yourself, then be selfish and get the pampering you deserve!!!

To all the hard working, under-appreciated, beautiful, wise, PATIENT mothers out there...




ETA: just saw my mommy! she looks so much better than me!!! now i'm depressed LOL... <:(

Some of the Coolest Sims EVER -- Seriously!

We are so fortunate in our little simming community to be surrounded by SUCH a multitude of RIDICULOUSLY talented people.  Other gaming communities are filled with inconsiderate dickless slobs, but we're pretty unique.  Some of our community members just...take it to the next level.
