Shifting Sands


Sessions has updated with Chapter 13 - Far Away This is another total collaboration between B and myself in word, image and concept. Thanks B for not giving up on me. I love this piece and where it came from. Even though it shifted constantly and kept us both off-balance I am pleased with how it ended up.

I would have posted this announcement yesterday but I was MIA and just couldn't get to it. Song in the playlist is by Nickelback. Lucky #13. A beautiful song about love and yearning. And dreams.

Special shout out to Veron. Thank you for the tute you did for me. While I didn't completely master the overlays and poses I did grasp the concept. You rock.

And may I just say that teenage Coop is just as smoldering hot as grown-up Coop?

~ Morning Bun Mondays ~

Today I give you a trifecta of utter nonsense with a couple extra for good measure. I am seriously addicted to these things and am amazed at how accurate some of them can be. I tend to post these mainly on my LJ but, meh, I had an uneventful weekend so there you go. One for every day of the work week.


Monday




Your Favorite Color Says You're Charming



Ambitious --- Energetic --- Passionate

Spontaneous --- Attractive --- Inspiring

Seductive --- Powerful --- Addicting



Tuesday




You Are a Ring Finger



You are romantic, expressive, and hopeful. You see the best in everything.

You are very artistic, and you see the world as your canvas. You are also drawn to the written word.

Inventive and unique, you are often away in your own inner world.



You get along well with: The Pinky



Stay away from: The Index Finger



Wednesday




Your Scent is Key Lime



Sassy, real, and totally smooth

You're a total flirt who's always ready for a challenge!



Thursday




Your Refrigerator Says You Are an Adventurous Eater



You aren't greedy, but you don't really deprive yourself either. You strike a good balance with the stuff you buy.



You are not careful with your money. In fact, you rarely think about how much you are spending.



You are a very adventurous person. You love to try new things, and you get bored very easily.



You try to be responsible, but you don't always succeed. Your heart is in the right place though.



You are likely single - and spending many nights alone at home.



Friday




You're an Expert Kisser



You're a kissing pro, but for you, it's all about quality and not quantity.

You've perfected your kissing technique and can knock anyone's socks off.

And you're adaptable, giving each partner what they crave.

When it comes down to it, your kisses are truly unforgettable.

~ Morning Bun Mondays ~


Aidan's house is currently undergoing quite a bit of remodel and construction. Fortunately, his fish tank is safe and sound.

I just love this guy. He is always so cheerful, laid back, optimistic. A good face to look at on a Monday morning. What better way to launch what may or may not be, since I am less than reliable with my commitments, a weekly tradition. It is called, coincidentally, Morning Bun Mondays.

This idea pretty much just came to me as yet another way to avoid other things I should be doing but to be fair I have thought about posting something on a fairly regular basis; it was actually part of my New Year's resolutions, HA!

To start this off I would like to introduce a new story that one of our avid readers has posted. I for one have been looking forward to the day she posted her first chapter and am proud to promote it here. The story is by Muzegoddess and is called Life, Love, and Lies: A Sims Saga and is an adult contemporary story. Her first chapter is called Homecoming.
She has some great character bios as well. Hopefully she will not throw anything at me for advertising her site!

So without further ado, please check it out and give a fellow budding writer some support.

~ Safe Harbor or Certain Death ~



This piece, although it is a collaboration of words and images by both of us, is dedicated to Beth.

I often wonder what if. That feeling of being lost in a vast ocean and then finding that constant, the one thing that guides you to safety and comfort.

I am rambling, in a very weird, emotional place. Beth and I have been working on this piece and it has been hard. Feelings dragged out of you that you want to shove back down. Helpless to fix what is broken because you can't. You just can't.

What if...

This piece has nudity and language so if you are offended by it, don't read.

Sessions 12 - Tangled Up in You

Song in the playlist is #12 by Staind, a love song that is bittersweet, much like this update.

In Perfect Harmony

In June of 2007 I posted my first chapter of Dark December. Since that time, the story has evolved and changed in part through a collaboration that developed and lasted over 4 years. During this time a friendship was forged. Thank you Beth, for unwavering friendship, support, and generosity over these last 4+ years. It has been a journey I will never forget.
