Just did another runway picture for a competition, I'm honestly sick of them now....no more please the repetition is terrible, and it's even worse when my creativity is taking a nose dive.
Was also eliminated from Faerie Folk, wasn't surprised but it sucks because I think I got the raw end of the deal when it came to personal assignments. It didn't seem equal, two of the top competitors got easier open ended topics, and the bottom two had harder pictures to create. I still don't understand what the fuck Superheroes has got to do with Faeries lol.
Oh well I think I prefer the....everyone does the same assignment angle, it's cool when it's the same assignment but you have to display different things, like flowers or whatever, as long as those are assigned randomly and are picked to be of the same level of difficulty. I can't help leaving this great comp with a bitter taste in my mouth.

30 Day song Challenge
Arcanalia has started the 30 day song challenge on her blog, the one with the rules which is normally done on facebook. Since I also agree with her veiws on Facebook I've decided that I might give it a go here too.
I will weave the song updates into or around normal ones though so it doesn't just become a tonne of blog posts with youtube music video links in them hehe.
So Day one is Your Favorite song.
Now this is a super broad but for the sake of not repeating myself and having multiple songs from bands and singers I listen to....or repeating a song I already posted here (Big Slice by Jonas and the Massive Attraction) I decided on this one.
Heavy by Collective Soul
I couldn't find an actual clip, I don't even remember if there ever was a music video made for it, but I love this song.
I have a tonne of favorite songs, so this is more like one of many that have a permanent place on my ipod, but a few of the other songs will appear one other days of the month anyways.

Shameless Plug
For those that don't get enough of my rambling here you can find me in three magazines soon.
I will be in Vsims with an interview about my experiences in Clique, it will of course include pictures I created for that competition.
I will have another interview in Flux Magazine about winning the competition of the same name once again complete with pictures I made for that cycle.
and finally I also have ANOTHER interview in LE's Ezine about my time with the Simiverse franchise.
Don't forget to read these publications even if you don't want to read my contributions!

Winner of Flux Cycle 2
Results are in and I managed to pull out a win in Flux cycle 2!
I have another smexy siggy to display too
I will be on the judging panel for cycle 3, yeap another judging gig for me....it's a nice change from being the competitor all the time, though like every other judging spot I've had I'll probably end up wishing I was DOING the assignments instead of judging them.

Elliminated First Round
I'm not at all surprised, but I was eliminated the first round of Berry Sweet...kinda a repeat of the previous cycle where I was eliminated in the second round hehe.
I'm kinda loosing some of my creativity and I think my computer is getting a bit burnt out because I pretty much have Sims 3 on 24/7 to keep up with all the competitions I'm in, it takes way too long to load so I just keep in running in the background. I took a much needed break from the sims world after I was eliminated last cycle too, and it really renewed my passion for the game and for sims modeling.
After this round of comps is done I think I'm definitely taking a break and giving my laptop a rest from running this high memory game. There was only one comp I was really going to watch out for so when that starts so I'm going to have to really think about whether I can handle it.
Good-luck to all those continuing in Berry Sweet it is a really fun and challenging comp.
I think I might take some time to actually play my legacy, and maybe even think about giving a rainbowcy a go, rather than joining a tonne of modeling comps like I normally do.

The Decimation of GD
Was reading some blog posts about some trolls on GD...I don't often go there because well there isn't much of anything there tbh, I vote on the legacy heir threads cause those are good to see other peoples families, and occasionally offer some advice or help some people out but other than that limiting GD involvement is beneficial to ones sanity lol, unless you like drama.
But wow, this dude really takes the cake. Porn pictures in tonnes of threads, comments on peoples pages, gifting people to ask them to send derogatory messages to other simmers, posts specifically made to be mean to certain simmers.........and on top of that it's the retarded EA techs that are allowing this to happen.
Everyone knows the Gurus suck, and if they actually had a real job in a real company they would have been fired by now, so they are almost excused for having internet down syndrome, though who knows why they haven't worked out how to delete a specific post rather than deleting a whole thread must have the computer skills of a 5 year old......but the techs have been giving this asshole new codes to make new accounts with, when he gives them some kind of sad sack story in the online chat.
EA must suck at training their staff, the customer is always right only in theory, the customer in fact is almost always a fucking asshole and especially in a customer service role you need to be able to identify when someone is REALLY having an issue, bitching because they are a cunt, or is trying to screw you out of something.
AE posted some amazing stuff on her Grumpy toast blog related to how much fail this company really is. The securom bullshit with them failing to disclose its inclusion with some games and packaging others with something they say isn't securom but might as well be since it does the same thing.........and an article someone has very articulately written about EA's promotion of Hate and Pornography with their staffs inability to do their jobs in a timely manner.
If I wasn't a proud person I would totally get a position there, looks fucking sweet, don't have to do dick all and you still have a job. Wonder if the pay is good....

Finale for Flux Cycle 2
I finished up my finale pictures for Flux, the winner receives a spread in Flux Magazine and they have a deadline so I wanted to make sure that I made that easier for them to meet by getting my entry in on time.
I'm pretty happy with them, Runway, high fashion stuff isn't really my strength....I don't read fashion magazines, fashion TV bores me....and personally I think fashion is more a matter of taste and preference hehe.
Anyways heres my pictures, they are set to a certain size which was a clear specification in the rules....in order to fit a full page each in the magazine IF I win that is.
