turpsYou ever get comment replies back and wonder what the heck you were talking about? I just hit one of mine where I mentioned Chris with a whip and Justin in a glass box. The mind boggled before I remembered the context.
Anyway, I came to do an update on what I've been up to, and now my mind has gone blank, which suggests I've done nothing interesting *g*
Lets see. Invitations are out for Corey's birthday party, which is coming far too fast. It's on Sunday, 3-6 and he's invited around 12 friends, and hey, if anyone wishes to come help entertain them while playing such games as pin the antenna on the dalek, you're quite welcome. The in laws are doing the food and I have to admit that I had my nose pushed out a little at first. Because as much as I bitch I am capable of making sandwiches etc, but it was arranged they'd do it so I figure it's one less thing on my shoulders, so I'm going with it. That's especially true as Corey is playing away in the morning, so it means I'll have to get out of my rugby outfit into something more party suitable.
Another plus to the food is we don't have to pay the in laws until next week. Which is good because man, we're so broke just now. We've even had to stop our cinema tickets for a few weeks, which sucks. But, it is only for a few weeks so I'm not bitching too much. We've been trying to remortgage our house but the whole deal just went bottoms up, which made for a very stressed James. I tell you, how he hasn't got an ulcer I don't know.
Apart from that, Corey and I have been simming a lot. I'm doing the legacy challenge, and dude, it's stressful. Normally I use the elixir of life to keep my Sims from ageing. Which I can't do for the challenge, so one of my guys is old and he's going to die soon and it's just sad. What makes it worse is his other half wants to marry off 6 kids for his life time ambition, and the only way I could do that was letting him drink some elixir so he stays in prime baby making condition. Now they're about to be separated by death and there's going to be woe.
I really need to update my site, but I also have stuff I want to write. I've the 1000 word challenge to finish and I've also a new porn challenge to get my teeth into. Size kink, hmmmm. Vaudevilles luvs me so much to suggest that. Though I may just sit there and drool at Word, which isn't very productive. Or I may attempt a ficlet at fic_requests. So many things I could do.
Before I go I feel compelled to tell you I have rainbow tabs on my Firefox now. They're so pretty.

Date: 2007-02-06 01:40 pm (UTC)Now I just have fun building my fandom neighborhood. Poor Jim - last time I played Blair kept flirting with everyone that walked by.

It is silly, but I do it too.
I have a pop neighbourhood. There's trouble brewing in my trickc house. To put it bluntly, despite Chris and JC being at 100% love for one another, JC is a slut who keeps flirting with Justin. Chris and Justin hate each other now, and it's so wrong!

Date: 2007-02-07 08:28 am (UTC)For my legacy challenge I made a new guy, he wasn't fandom related like most of my Sims, so I thought it wouldn't be so bad to see him die. I was so wrong. I've watched him fall in love and have kids and I don't want to let him go!

Date: 2007-02-08 12:35 pm (UTC)I've always wondered how people manage to write their kinks. I think I'd either go ridiculously over the top or get bashful and ignore the whole thing. I mean, somethimes even the thought of reccing my favourite kinky stories makes me feel exposed. I have no idea how people actually write about them. It helps to know everyone else is a pervert as well. *g*

Date: 2007-02-08 12:51 pm (UTC)Oh man, yes. I think that's one of the reasons I find it so difficult to write actual sex. I love reading about it, especially when it hits my kinks, but writing it? That's so different. It really does feel like you're being exposed, like you're showing people, look, I like this.
Not that anyone would point and laugh, especially as you say, we're surrounded by perverts *g* But still.
I have a huge list of kinks too, and it's not like people don't know about them, but there's a difference between mentioning and writing them out in detail. I think all you can do is keep writing them until it feels normal. For example, I've written so many braces kisses that it doesn't phase me at all. Though it still makes me flail thinking about it, which makes getting the actual words down difficult.
But yeah, size kink is a lovely one to have. I like Chris being shorter, I like when he's standing next to JC and has to look up at him, and I'll stop now before I'm no good ;)

Yes, you have to articulate and be particular about it. It's a whole different thing to tell someone you like, say, fisting for example than to get into the characters head and get the details down. Because although you're writing about why the character thinks something is sexy, it ultimately comes from you and what you find sexy about it. Which is one of the reasons I'm in awe of people who write good sex.
But the really strange and schizophrenic thing is -- even though I sometimes fear exposing too much of myself when I talk about kink, I don't really assume to know much about writers based on their stories. It's applying one standard on yourself and one on others. And now I'm generalising like crazy, but in the end everything I say on LJ leaves me open for scrutiny and sex or kink is just one thing among many. I mean, I can say I like kidfic and someone will think I'm boring and domestic (they'll be right), I can say I'm an atheist and someone can think I'm a godless heathen (again, correct). And just admitting I like popslash will make someone think I'm crazy! So talking about what kind fictional sex I like is not worth stressing about. If it makes someone think I'm a strange and perverted, well, they'll just know one more thing about me. *g*
I think all you can do is keep writing them until it feels normal.
Yes. Yes yes yes. (I hope I haven't psyched you out of writing the story now. *g* Because I'm really looking forward to it.) Also, this got really long.
