I did nearly nothing!!! I got a letter from Adam, he made it to Frankfurt ok so that's good. Maybe their trip will have some better luck in Germany. I wrote back telling him of the mundane events that happened to me after he left. One I did not include in my journal from yesterday was my brother killing Elsa!!!!! He killed my SIMs character!!! It took forever to get her married to Fred Hughes. I worked on that house for days! What does my brother do??? He makes her play with the chemistry set, drink a potion (hopefully from this entire thing he'll learn not to do LSD, PCP, methamphetamines or any other big drugs, then she turns into zombie monster who breaks everything, literally, in the house and the jacuzzi outside. So we go "ok, We're rich well hire a mechanic and she can fix someof the things at the same time." So we set her to work on the TV. She gets electrocuted and dies. The grim reaper comes and Fred just happens to be at work so he can't plead for her life. He just has a happy urn filled with Elsa's ashes to come home to. Yeah even worse- we figrued we'd quit the game and not save-- unfortunatly I wasn't paying attention and clicked on the icon of a diskette thinking "load" when that button is in fact "save." So I wrote back to him and surfed the internet for hours. I got some stuff off The Sims Official Web Site including a porta-potty, a urinal, a bathroom stall, an elephant foot trash can, and an "executive" trash can. I also got "Face Lift Gold," "Sims File Cop," Clown killers, A DJ, Sims Artist Studio (let's you create paintings for the game), Home Crafter (let's you edit walls and floors) and I think that's it. Fascinating isn't it?? Yeah my life is pretty tame these days.

Later on Mike and I downloaded a whole bunch of furniture off of TheSimsResource which I put onto CD along with myu stuff from the official site. I then found the Transmogrifier which allows one to clone objects out of the Sims, edit the BMP files, and reinstall the new object into the game as a completely separate object with it's own price, name and description. Now I remember what I downloaded from the official site!!! It was a Sims menu editor-- so for example, I could make a fan instead of a light- having the blades turn when the "light" is turned on- but the caption or button in the game would say something like turn the light on-- when actually I want it to say "turn on fan" with the Menu editor I can fix that. Yay. I made a green flamingo.

Then I ate dinner. I forget what I had. I then got into a fight with my idiotic brother Robert. I want too smack him he is so dumb-- I won'tt go into the details despite the fact that it is probably more interesting than the Sims stuff but I really just want to put it behind me and get on with life because otherwise I shall become pissed again and really want to smack my brother!! I got invited to lunch later by Kate. Then I edited someone else's bed in the Sims because they just had no concept of how to angle or flatten an object. Then Catherine called and it was telephone therapy: the talking cure. Her problems my problems, why life suucks, why (in essence) all men are bastards (I don't really believe this- somedays it just seems like it with maybe one exception- I keep being opptomistic and hope that there are some decent guys out there or at least two I can get along really well with. Well, Ican get along with them as friends I just can't date them.

My dating life has been a soap opera, complete with what is commonly known as a "love triangle." I'm finally hearing from some friends about their lives and --- I'm NOT the only one!!! :) Catherine has a soap opera, Erica has a soap opera, and my friend Stephanie from San Diego has a Soap opera life!!! Colleen is involved in my soap opera life due to her currrent boyfriend but as far as i know doesn't have a soapopera life of her own. in anycase, I'm sure you'd revel in the craziness of it Colleen, with my boots!! ** grumble grumble** Catherine also wants tall boots-- To top all these people buying kinky boots I'm going to have to get something else- I have a whip and trenchcoat-- I've had those since forever for different halloween costumes- I have fishnet and I have the darkest hair out of all people in the Valkeries except maybe Lauren- I could dye it black I 'spose. Hmmm even better than boots I could get shorter fishnet stockings and get the garter belt type things to hold them up. There we go. That's somewhat original. Oh well do do doo. I'm bored. I should work on the litmag page. But I just haven't had time. Heck I barely keep up my own page... I'll try to write at the end of today (the 12th) as I'm leaving the 13th. So Au Revoir see you in France.
