So, I got me new phone right?! And I'm LOVING it! I'm on the Verizon network and have been for years! It's called the Dare and it's one of those touch screen phones that I SWORE I wasn't going to get but...it's just awesome! LOL! I'm such a phone whore! I'm sure in about six months or so I'll be complaining about this phone being OLD! :P I can't help myself but it's not like I can get another phone for another two years!
Anyways...I've just been fiddling with that and hanging out with the fam! Ohhhh yeah! My sis is going to sneak down this way with my niece for a week or so before Christmas! I'm the only one that knows! My mom is going to cry! I can feel it! LOL! But it'll be happy tears!
Alright, I'm going to head to bed...maybe! I got work tomorrow and then off Sunday and then...I go to mids which means 2p-10p! Grr...ruins a perfectly good day doesn't it?! I'm on that schedule for a good two months with little variation!:( And if I do it's the morning shift! I LOVED working nights but noooooo....I can't get them because I'm still in my trainging period and they want me to LEARN!!! LOL!! Alright, I'm out!
LATER!!! :)~

Fraps is giving me fits! I'll have the perfect shot set up, take a couple of frames and then progess on only to realize once I go back and look at my pics to edit that...FRAPS WASN'T TAKING MY PICS!!! Grrr!! So, it's a slow progression because then I have to go back in, undo what I do to move the story along and start all over again! *sigh*
So, there will be an update this week! Don't think there won't! Hopefully tomorrow! If not tomorrow then possibly the day after. Although since that is Thanksgiving I might not even get a chance to boot up the computer! *groan* But...there will be an update! LOL!!
For right now I'm tired! I think I'm going to crash!

Double Post
I hadn't intended to put...I figured I left y'all with a cliff hanger and I'm ready to move Kaylee and Ty into the custom hood I created so I have to go into SimPe and all of that! I hope y'all enjoyed Kaylee's college years! I went through the whole thing without using the college adjuster! *groan* It drrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaggggggged!! Let me tell you! LOL! Y'all that have Uni know!
Anyways...working on getting everything moved and intact so hopefully everything goes smoothly.
Ummm...could y'all tell that the Ty and Kaylee at the end of Ch.10 weren't the originals? I had graduated them and went out of the game to do screenshots when I realized that Fraps wasn't working for me! So, I had to go back in and recreate them! Hopefully you can't tell! LOL!!
On to posting in Kaylee's Diary!
*edited: Alright, I'm done with the double posting! I just wanted to make sure everything was even out and everything and everyone was on the same page! :P Because I'm anal like that! Haha! I'm going to shuffle off to bed since I have to work tomorrow! Bah! Next month I'll be working 2p-10p and I'm sure I'll hate that even more! LOL!

Just finished the long and tortous process of reinstalling the Sims 2 to this computer. Since I have all the EPs and SPs it took roughly over two hours of sitting there watching the bar move. It probably would have taken ALOT less but for some reason my AL didn't wan to install. Kept getting an error(first time that's happened to me) and I was flipping out before I remembered that I still had all of that backed up on my old computer. Plugged that in, installed to my external and bada bing! It was a wrap! YAY! Now, I have to see if my Kaylee and Ty made the move with me or if I'm going to have to extract them from my old computer and put them in this one! Have to remember where the saved game files are! Hmmm..
Going to go take a look @ SimPe right now! Maybe I'll even get to PLAY sometime soon! LOL!!
*Edited more than an hour later....
Well...it looks as if...I have all my saved games in the new computer!! WOOT!! Woot! First I was hella confused but after I googled(the internet is my friend) and researched I figured it out! haha!! Cool! Now I'm going to go in game and see if there is any borkiness going on!

YAY!!!
Got my new computer up and running! Don't have my game intalled on it yet...I have to extract some of the characters with simpe and still am kinda confused on how to do it! *sigh* This keyboard is kinda funky! I'm not used to it being all flat and...soft. LOL! Anyways...I saw the FedEx truck as I was driving and I thought darn it I JUST missed them but...no...he turns on the road ahead of me and I'm all like YAY!!! Just in time! Haha! New graphics card was already on the porch(how'd UPS come so early I don't know!) but I spent a good two hours making sure everything was configured so I wouldn't have to send it back!
New computer=bliss! Now, I'm going to bed becase I've had a headache for the last two days! And no, not going to the doctor! I dislike docs. I have no idea why they just make me extremely uncomfortable....hmmm...just thought of something for my story! Bed! Now Cheryl! Aaaaand....
I'M GOING!!!:D

Tower and graphics card!
Okay, I'm supposed to get my tower and new graphics card tomorrow but I'm thinking, because I have to work, I probably won't get the tower for a couple of days unless I leave a note for them to leave it on the porch! But I don't wanna do that because we have some hoods that are always trying to steal people's stuff and I'd be HOT like that if I came home, looked on the internet to track it and found it had been delivered!! Grrrr!!!
I'll probably get the graphics card though. UPS cames later than FedEx(tower) but one isn't any good without the other! LOL!! *sigh* Oh well! Cross your fingers for me...maybe FedEx will be late! Bwahaha!!!

Sims Self
Okay, I couldn't resist! Wanted to see what a self-sim of me would look like! Hmm...sorta kinda but...missing tats and not as thick and boobalicious as me!:P Also my 'fro isn't that big yet! Still have a little one going on since I shaved my head! ;)~
You can usually find me wearing wife beaters and jeans(not all wrinkled like that though) and barefoot...or wearing flipflops! And if it gets cold...HOODIES!!:D

I posted this on my lj
I had to calm down before I posted this. I think this post will show how TRULY ignorant people are. I come from a military family. Great-grandpas, uncles, aunts, biological father...MOTHER, cousins, friends! So, while I might not agree with the war I still respect our troops. So, why in the HELL would you hang a flag upside down and/or at high mast because your candidate didn't win? Seriously, are you that mental that you don't really how disrespectful that is, not only to American but to your candidate who was a POW?!I received several calls about this at work and it just pissed me off. And then when I hear jokes that border on racist about Obama it makes me realize that this country STILL has a long way to go. We may have a black man in the white house(who happens to be half white which people conveniently seem to forget) but we still have alot of 1800 mindsets. It makes me sick.Have you ever walked into a room and been the minority? Have you ever had someone call you outside your name because of the color of your skin? Have you ever heard the thinly veiled insults about your race being uneducated, on welfare, waiting for a governement hand out? God, it just makes me want to vomit and wonder, truly wonder, when this will all end.And it's just not blacks that are still hated on. Asians, hispanics, Indians....I've heard all the jokes and sometimes wonder why I'm not the only one laughing. I get it! It's a joke! Hahaha! But you don't make a joke on a person's trials. Unless you've had to face them yourself.So, for all you die hard 'Americans' out there who voted for McCain and are not disrespecting what he stood for, still STANDS for, I guess you're showing us how you really feel huh? You're taking your stance for your politician...not for your country.It hurts...but then I remember where I am. I might be near a military base but I'm still in the good ol' boy south.I just don't understand.And the number one thing that keeps popping up as to why people didn't vote for Obama? He's a Muslim! Uh...yeah! And? So, what you're saying is one religion is ALL WRONG because of some muslim radicals! Right, right! So, because his mom enrolled him in that school, because his father and stepfather were Muslim he's associated with that religion. Umm...how many of us were forced to go to a church?! I know I was. My family has dabbled in several religions. Trying to find the right fit. I have an uncle who is Muslim and he is as disgusted by all the radical muslims out there giving a religion a bad name. I've sat down and talked to him about it and it hurts him to be judged because of his religion instead of who he is...So, I'm guessing all Christians are bad too because of the slaughtering they did back in Bible times? When you have people outside your country wishing that one candidate will when and they can't even vote. When they're crying and sobbing because that candidate won...what's wrong with the mind set of Americans?I'm just feed up with all the bullshit.

OMG!
Ya know what I just realized? With my new computer(once it comes back from HP for repairs) I can actually play the Sims 3!!! What, what!!!! LOL! Not saying I'm going to get it! So far it doesn't look like something I want to play...although the free roaming is enough to just test it out...*sigh* I probably will get it! LOL! But not when it first comes out...I wanna see the reviews and stuff before I spend hard earned money on something that might tear my computer up! Sooo...
Off to amazon to check out sims 3! :)

Enjoy Kaylee...and Ty! *wink*

Okay...
I can't WAIT until this election is over. I mean, I know it's historical and everything and I am excited about it! I AM! But...
With all the drama and all the division I just want a little peace!!! But I know if Obama wins I'll be sooo scared for him because there is still so much hate in this world! *sigh* Sometimes I just wish everyone was born color blind. So it would be about what's on the inside instead of what's on the out! :~S
BTW....
GO OBAMA!!! :-)

Best freaking Buy! You suck!
Gah! Did I tell you the drama with Best Buy?! Suffice to say I will NOT go back to best buy thanks to their ridiculous warranty policy when I had ASKED them a specific question and was told that of course I could put my own graphics card in. When I turned on the computer THE NEXT DAY and it didn't work and I called them to ask about it they said to bring it in. So, I did only to be told that because I opened the case it voided my warranty! Motherfu-
Me: So, what you're telling me, I asked in a really quiet voice(not normal for me since I'm usually hype) is that I spent over seven hundred dollars in here yesterday and you can't do anything?
Geek Squad: Umm...yes ma'am. We can fix it if you want. We-
Me: How much will that cost me?
Geek freakin' Squad: Well, an eight four dollar deposit plus whatever the part cost. Did you-
Me: Put my tower back in the box.
GRRRR!!!! So, I took it to another shop(because I knew it was the motherboard but I needed to verify and I was right and they tried to help me which means I will go back to them again over Best Buy. So, I called HP aaaaand....
They're gonna fedex me a box so I can ship the tower and repair it FREE OF CHARGE!!! WOOT!! Hahaha! So...I'm happy but on the other hand I'm pissed at best buy! I'll never go back there again!
And that is my rant for the day! LOL!
