MAH FIRST HAIR!!

My first hair I ever made!!!! AHHH!!! I'm so proud! :D

And long time no post, eh?
I'm sorry! I've been studying and studying for the state tests... BUT NOW THEY'RE OVER!!!! I'm so happy... Soo happy. And Summers coming up! So expect more posts from me!
No more sorry excuses for a blog.
But, I have an upcoming review:
'Please Ignore Vera Dietz' by A.S. King... it is coming soon!

Quote Friday, Friday, gotta get quotes on friday...

I'm beginning to think this is a sign to stop blogging. Serioiusly. -_-

But, I'm here again. Sorry for this bad excuse for a blog.

My excuse explanation: I had not forgotten about you guys. Honest. I had actually planned this awesomesauce blogfest but something personal happened in my life, and my family and I had to go take care of that.

But, hopefully, this post will make up for that. I come bearing a sneak peek, a character profile, and some inspirational quotes to keep you going!!

Sheila's POV

Name: Sheila Quartelle
Age: 14, but I have no idea how old I was in my former life.
Acquaintances:  Autumn. Nelle and Ivan (the 'rents)
Looks: Um.... this is kinda shallow, don't you think? What does that have to do with anything?
Personality: Vegan, free-spirited. Strong Believer.
My POV

That's pretty much right except

Looks: Half-white and half-African-American with a little bit of Native American rolled in. She has green eyes and long, wavy hair. She's very tall and very awkward, and she has a crazy love for life, which you can see in her eyes.

Quotes:

A diamond with a flaw is better than a common stone that is perfect.

      - Chinese Proverb

Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.

       - Thomas a Kempis

No one is perfect. That’s why pencils have erasers

      - Author Unknown

Gold cannot be pure and people cannot be perfect

      - Chinese proverb

They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you that practice makes perfect. I wish they’d make up their minds.

      - Wilt Chamberlain

 

As long as you live, keep learning how to live

      - Seneca

Have no fear of perfection-you’ll never reach it

      - Salvador Dali

 You see, when weaving a blanket, an Indian woman leaves a flaw in the weaving of that blanket to let the soul out

*****

I'm literally overjoyed. Like, so happy to have you guys! I still have four followers *dances*

NEWS FOR DECEMBER:

I have more reviews coming, more sim hauls, more rants, and hopefully more me.
I'm also contemplating whether or not to join inkpop again.... I just thought it was time to leave, but it keeps reelin' you back in.

And *tackles Daisy* Haha! Thanks for the promo!

Until next time, my lovlies.

*chorus of bells* I'M BACK

Hola everyone! I come bringing sneak peeks, and a character profile :) A few lines from my book (how am I doing that without adding to the counter thing? Because I can't write a consistent page, for some reason)

1. Sometimes it's like I exist, I go to school, I eat, I breathe, but I'm not living.

2. Filling myself up with You would fill up my empty heart. It takes me away to that promised land overflowing with chocolate and caramel...

3. What a conversation starter. Oh, my cuts? My mother likes to abuse me. Don't worry about it....

Well, that's all. Gotta keep the mystique *fades into mist*

And the character profile:
(This is a semi minor character, by the way)

Dulcie's point of view...
Name: A series of frequencies I was supposed to memorize since I was younger. It just now caught on.
Age: 200 going on 16
Address: Here
Acquaintances: People who I hang out with.
Looks: Perfect
Personality: See above

My point of view:
Name: Dulcie Grace ... (still working on a descent last name)
Age: 15
Address: New York
Acquaintances: Autumn, Rachel, Victoria... not a very likable person.
Looks: Hazel eyes, curly brown hair with a feather extension, dark olive skin. Mixed.
Personality: She blames her snarkiness on her new yorkness. She's also arrogant and brutal, but honest and cofident. And she's very freespirited and doesn't give a rat's tail who says what or what people thinks. But she hates other people getting judged.

I'm working on character development now... what do you think about her? :)

Sorry I've been so scarce (again...)

Days are gettin' shorter and my headaches are comin' into cue. So I can't do everything like I want to do. So three quote fridays missed? I apologize. I can't gurantee I'll be on that day, unfortunately. Or any other day. Am I going to stop blogging? NAY!!!!!!!!!! But I'm gonna continue and try to get through things. I've been so scarce because everything is piling up and I'm setting up my book and my upcoming sims 2 version of... MAXIMUM RIDE. So, I'm still working on it, but I'm going to try even more to juggle everything. Okay? Okay.

Nikki Grimes Blog

Okay, I am a very very BIG Nikki Grimes fan. Let's get that out of the way first, m'kay? I read 'The Road to Paris' when I was younger, and I loved it. It was such a beautiful story *coughs*

I check her site monthly and follow her blog. Again, m'kay? So, I check out her blog, and what happens?
She. Spoke. The. Freakin. Truth.

You'll be happy you did. I couldn't agree more... do you?

Sims 2 Hairstyle Haul

So, I just noticed that I haven't done any Sim-related posts. So, I have a Sims 2 Haul! I have been downloading so much content, I have to share it with y'all.

(What Sucks: I have most of my content on a separate computer, so I can't show ALL my content. And the Sims 2 exchange isn't working. That's where I have most of my saved Sims. What sucks even more is that I can't upload them to the computer I'm always on -_-)

Theme: Hairstyles!

This is from Butterfly Sims. It comes in different shades of red, brown, blond (as shown) and black. (like an ebony to a blue black). To me it's very pretty and very Hannah Baker. *coughs to hide a smile* It's a donate, but I found it for free at the awesomest site on earth: http://paysites.mustbedestroyed.org/booty/ts2/butterflysims2/
It's called: b-flysims2femalehaircf018.zip



    Yet another from Butterfly Sims. I downloaded this one because it's very Iggy (from Maximum Ride). Donate, again, and can be found at the same link as above. This one is called: male_034_q.zip.

I loved the headband on this one, and how it's very shiny and kind of wavy. This one is from Raon sims, another donate, but can be found here for free: http://paysites.mustbedestroyed.org/booty/ts2/raonsims/femalehair/
The file is the first one, called: femalehair101.zip

This has to be my favorite male hair. I am in LOVE with this kind of curly hair (like Aaron Johnson curly). When I saw it, I almost passed out in my chair. I downloaded it so quick... lol. The only downside is that the back is flat, not curly like the front. After loading body shop, I realized that it would be perfect for a Dylan (from Max Ride... again)
This one is made by Peggy, it's a donate but can be found here: http://paysites.mustbedestroyed.org/booty/ts2/peggy/malehair/hairmesh07908/
It's called: hairmesh07908.zip

If you couldn't already tell, I really really want to make a Sims 2 version of Th1rteen R3asons Why by Jay Asher (first, though, I need the book -_-), and Sims 2 version of  Maximum Ride by James Patterson (reviews coming soon!)

Note: You need WinRAR (windows) or 7-zip (Mac) to download these. Windows 7 comes with an extracting... thing already. I highly recommend getting one of these programs if you don't already have one because this gives you access to more content.

Well, I bid thou adieu. I have to leave some things for future posts!

Jia :)



Sorry :3

I couldn't do quote friday last week. *headdesk once*. Cuz I had a headache, and I had a break off from school. And that I've been so scarce. Sometimes, I just don't have the inspiration. The inspiration to write, to review, or to do anything. I try--really, I do-- but I just can't do it sometimes.
I'm thinking of more blog posts. Stay tuned.
*turns back, secretly evil smiling*
