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!!!

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!

Alright, okay! I think I FINALLY have everything back to the way it should be for my game! See, I got a new computer yesterday(which CRASHED but that's a WHOLE nother story) so I took everything offa this computer so I could give it to me mom! Yeah....I had to reinstall everything back so I could get my story out tomorrow! Then...my hoods didn't want to load and it kept giving me the option for just one custom hood. I needed Uni but then when I went into my hard drive and pulled the Pleasantview hood file Kaylee was still a TEEN!!! Nooooo!! Right?! Come to find out that I placed both neighborhoods(new and old) in the same space! So, I finally found the right one and am now off to play!!:P

Figured it out!

Alright, I figured it out this morning before I headed to work. Ya know, the thing about my pics?! For some reason, and I swear it's never done that before, they had a height and width in my html code. I had to delete that to get my bigger pics! Whew! For a minute I thought I was gonna be stuck w/ the small ones!

My bro's ex girlfriend called me @ work today wanting to know if I could run my bro's license for her to see if it was suspended!! Hello?!!! I LIKE my job! Why would I want to get fired for doing something stupid?! Huh? Huh!?! LOL! Idiot!

Right now I have the house to myself. The calm before the storm! Haha! With three lil bros, my mom and stepdad it's always kinda hectic. I still have to adjust being in the house with someone else since I've been out on my own! *sigh*

Alright, I'm offa here so I can enjoy the peace and browse some blogs! ;)

Sooo...

I finally got this thing up and running! I've spent the last couple of hours in front of the computer(I did take a break to watch the new family guy! LOL!!) trying to configure this and this. Kaylee's diary is irritating me because it doesn't want to work right so I have to go in and fiddle with the codes or else scrape that template and get another...but I don't wanna because I REALLY like that one! LOL!! So, I guess I'm going to be scouring the web trying to figure out just how to fix it! Grrrr!!!

Man, I should probably go to bed some time soon but seeing as how I don't have to go to work until tomorrow night(WOOT!!) I don't want to waste staying up! LOL!! I know, I know! I sound like a kid but darn it I've been crashing early for the last few nights and it just isn't right! Not right at all!:P

Monday and Tuesday I work and then I'm off for two glorious days!! Haha!! Good times! Thursday I'm glad I'm off so I can go with my mom to her doctor's appointment! Hopefully all that chemo was good for something besides making her sick and it got rid of all the cancer so she won't have to go through that again!

Okay, I had to put that pic in because 1)I love my family and I have to brag and 2)I love my family and I have to brag! LOL!! That's my mom, my sis and my niece. My mom's one and only grandchild! Can't you tell by the kool-aide smile!?! :P Adorable right?! Yeah well, I don't intend on having kids so she's going to stay adorable and spoiled! Bwahahaha!!

My sis would kill me if she knew I put that pic up! Hopefully she doesn't follow the link I put on my Sims 2 journal! Dun, dun, duuuuunnnnn!!

Alright, I'm out! I think I'm going to go watch one of my fav movies: LION KING!!

Later!
