elections 2083, results!

And the votes are in! We had an amazing turnout this election with 134 votes! Nice job everyone, and thank you for voting! :)

one day, on the basketball court...

December 6, 2083 - Corbin Gray is 32. Jack Phoenix is 34.

One day, on the basketball court, Jack is trying to teach Corbin how to play basketball. There are a lot of things Corbin can do, but he isn't so well versed in these American sports, and all these sporty college kids run circles around him sometimes. Nobody wants to look like a fool on the job. So lucky for Corbin, his newest buddy was once a basketball star in college.

elections 2083!

December 6, 2083 - Election Day. Presented by Clarice Miller of the Lake County Courier.

Clarice Miller: We bring you this broadcast live from County Hall, in Lake City. Welcome, and I'm happy to bring you coverage of the 2083 Elections Press Conference.

LH stuff: Hayden and Piper wallpapers

Further amusing myself with some wallpaper! This one was requested by LunarFox (Hayden and Piper, at the arcade), like two weeks ago, lol! So here you go!

This picture happened completely randomly, by the way. I just had them there playing pinball together, and he looked over at her like he was all Champion of the Pinball Machine 'n stuff, and she was all *blush* and I just thought it was the cutest thing I ever saw! lol!

idle chatter: amusing myself

I'm a little bit sick, and just amusing myself with some new avatars...

Or ten of them, lol!

picspam, bella's new house

So one day, I went and destroyed Bella's house, lol! Oh how she loathes me! Because the only other place I could fit her ever-expanding family is in the suburbs. She is SO not a suburban kind of lady. But I put them in Stoneview Court, which is a "gated community" - so that status should make her happy. And Cameron is happy because he's right across the street from Max. And the girls will have a nice sized yard to play in.

Of course, I had to start with her kitchen! :)

picspam, favorite family

I mean, not that I have favorites... lol! But "favorite families" was the picture theme over at N99 this week, so I decided to see if I could fit them ALL on the same lot at the same time. And it took me over an hour to do, but I did it!!!

(click through for the full size images)

I'll spare you the boring narrative, since you guys already know their stories. (Really, it was just too many bad jokes about poor Robbie not being as smart as the rest of them, lol!) But I figured you'd all enjoy seeing the pictures, so here's the whole Deppiesse clan (with spouses and fiancés).

Of course, you'll also have to suspend your disbelief for those who are not supposed to be "here," or are in the middle of a fight and probably would not be willing to pose so *adorably* together, lol!

LH stuff: Stephanie wallpapers

Okay, one more, and then this madness has to stop! But I do have two more in mind to make this weekend. After I write some stuff. I figure if I don't get this Jodie update out pretty soon, some of you might show up on my doorstep with pitchforks? ;)

But first, a wallpaper for those of us in darker moods?

LH stuff: Dallas and Lucy wallpapers

There were a lot of things I was supposed to be doing tonight... Was supposed to be working on Jodie's story tonight, or my novel - either/or, whichever felt like being written first. I was supposed to be folding my laundry, or loading up those dishes that I started but never actually finished... but I was NOT supposed to be Photoshopping desktop wallpapers!

Guess what I was doing?

poll: who are you most eager to hear from this season?

Who are you most eager to hear from this season?

idle chatter: cool finds 'n stuff

I'm having to push back the second half of Jodie's story (part 2), mostly because my kid got sick this weekend and the past two days have dissolved into a pile of snotty tissues and vomit (oh hey, I know you're all super jealous of my life, lol!). And then I have some other things to finish the next couple days. I'll try not to make you wait all the way until next weekend, but it'll be Wednesday or Thursday before I can give it any proper attention.

But I do have a surprise mini-thing for you later tonight, from Amelia.

party prep picspam...

It's basically party season around here in Lakeside Heights, December through the New Year. Or at least this year it is. The elections are coming up fast, there's a war going on, and people are stressed out and need to blow off some steam. So the next few updates will feature parties, family gatherings, holiday events, or get-togethers for no specific reason at all.

SBP: a conversation with Maxwell Shaw

December 2, 2083 - Maxwell Shaw is 37. (Samantha Bradshaw is 33, and has been missing for ten years).

Interview notes: Maxwell Shaw, dated Samantha Bradshaw briefly in the spring of 2073, a few months before her disappearance.

winter 2083/84: still hear you

I'm rather excited/anxious/nervous to share this season with you. If you've been following the babble thread, some of these are the stories I had clogging up my head for months. Many months! Almost a year for some of them! I've been waiting so patiently to share them, trying desperately not to drop spoilers all over the place. (And probably failing in some cases.) And of course, after all this hype, now I just have to hope they're as entertaining in reality as they are in my head, lol! ;)

now, the building spam ends

And to wrap things up, I have some build month outtakes ;)

In real life, people don't teleport, so I always forget that Amelia learned how to do it. Here she is teleporting up to the third floor of Collins Hall for a graduate level drafting class.
