The Sown Shadow - Bringing you yesterday's news today!

Hahaha, awesome blog xD I need to do that to, that is, print out my resolutions xD

Congrats on managing your resolutions!
ZOMG... Switch Twig to MyBB... :D:D x3 Lol, that's one resolution I don't want you breaking.
Mind Rain is fuuuuun. x3 I love having such elite posts, it makes up for me not roleplaying anywhere else. xD
Sims 3 sounds fun. I really should think about getting it...
I'm sorry that you're still sick. xP
Werewolf pack poster FTW. Jacob rocks.
Nice blog!

Thanks Noah. :3 Lol, yeah, it would definitely help. xD I still haven't done so for mine.

Thanks Ari! xD Lol, yush, I figured you of all people would think so.

Haha, and for me it helps me do that 1k challenge thing. xD That plus all my other RPing definitely would break a thousand.

You should! How about now? *gives Ari thoughts of getting Sims*

That's okay. xP I'll get better. Some day. xD

OMG, yes. *highfive*

Thanks! ^^

Welcome! I shall encourage you (and sometimes yell at you. xD) on the path to MyBB. Hopefully.
That's awesome! I do all of the 1000 words in freewriting, but sometimes I get 800 word posts on Mind Rain. x3 That's only recently, though, and I'm afraid that they might start decreasing in length. xP But they'll stay elite.
*ponders over thought of getting Sims* We'll see... Maybe, maybe not. xD
You're welcome!

xD Hmm, how about we skip the yelling and just give me manipulative persuasion? "Guess what MyBB can do, Shad? It can do this, and Forumotion can't!"

Lol, well, it's usually easy to keep them so long if both people are trying. Especially when one of those people loves to try beating everyone else's word counts out. xD

Okay, here's some manipulative persuasion right now, then!
Did you know that that there's a blog feature, for MyBB, too? And did you know that posts can be as long as needed? And that there's no 'your post has been added' screen? Did you know that the layouts are more than awesome, and that pages load really really quickly?
*stops the persuasion*
Hmm, that wasn't manipulative enough... I gotta work on that. xD

You have a point. I might not reply tonight, but I'll try and get an 800+ word on mind rain by tomorrow.

Edit: Wait, I have more persuasion before I go to bed.
I commissioned a mod which allows the adoptables script to combine with MyBB. x3

I played Sims 2 today. People can get sick. Jasper got food poisoning, and Carlisle, Jasper, Emmett, and I got the flu. xD

Wow. I think I've read... roughly 20k of your story so far...
AND I LOVE IT!!
Whoa. I just can't describe it's awesomeness. X3 It's like, so descriptive and you developped the characters so well. There were parts in it where I was like, on the edge of my seat with suspense, other parts where I was laughing, parts where I was wincing 'cause I could totally imagine the pain, and I was like swooning over the band members the whole time too. Can't wait to read more! But I'm going to try to go to bed early tonight so I have to save an hour for some writing myself. XD

that’s just white text, recolored for embarrisingly high maturity or not fitting into the book. That’s what happens when I Nano. xD

Oh... Really now? *makes evil face and goes hunting for white text blocks*

Ooh, your Sims seem to have very interesting lives. I can't wait to hear all about yours and Ethan's future child!! (Sorry, couldn't resist XD). Lol, and Sims 2 has diseases and they actually suck. They'll have like hour long coughing fits and end up being late for work. >.< And there's an Sims 2 Seasons extension... I don't have it, but there is one. So, I'm sure they'll make one for Sims 3 eventually. :3

Anyway, sorry I haven't commented on your past few blogs. I'll try to get to that tomorrow. :3

Beautiful blog, Ado.

lol.
I was watching a movie today, and some guy caught on fire, and I was like,
"mommy... he shoulda known... when you see a stranger, stop, drop, and roll."

Mo, I did that too. You see, when I copied it over into openoffice, the white text became black again. So then I opened the link for desperate and searched for white text. xD
There was surprisingly little, though. Shad says she removed some. xP

Keep trying. xD

Okai. :3 Lol, taking your time is always excusable when it comes to eliteness.

*raises eyebrows* Woah. Sweeeeet. So the adoptables could literally be a part of the site? (How would we do that, though? xD Would you and Jade both have to be admin to keep your ranks on the adoptables?)

Lucky - oh yeah, I remember when Gri got food poisoning! xD He ate these apple pancakes that we'd had in the fridge for days, and then he went and puked in the toilet. Sims aren't that smart . . . they should refuse to eat stuff if it has green gas rising from it.

I haven't had anyone get anything normal yet, though, which is what I mean. Like a cold.

SOL. ^^ You gave me a huge grin to hear that, Komoda. x3 Thank yuu!

xD Lol, wow, Mo. I think I removed the mature bit at some point . . . like - okay, well, it's impossible for me to go into detail without breaking the rules or spoiling something. xD But let's just say that there's this scene around the end that coulda been a lot worse.

I can't either. I did a little research on pregnancy in Sims . . . haha, it seems moderately realistic. xD I'm glad, cus I couldn't take the game seriously if they weren't fatties while they were prego.
Lol, well, like I told Amanda, none of my Sims have been 'naturally' sick yet. xP So I hope I'll discover they can become so . . . and I hope they make that seasons extension!

That's all right. ^^ Thanks!

:3 Why thank you!

I think I removed some. xD I have no clue where it went! Maybe I have it in the 300k-word file with everything in it . . . I'd go look but that's like 500 pages.

And so I shall. xD

I wrote a 1100 word post on Mind Rain. x3 That beat my record of like 850 words.

Yep, pretty much. No, there wouldn't be any changes to the admin stuff, as there'd be seperate admin CPs. You would log in once for both sites, and there could be auto-posted things or the like, but other than that, they'd be as separate or integrated as people would want - for instance, there could be cash which increments both by posting and by clicking on adopts. Isn't that awesome?

Woah . . . xD Lol, now I'm scared. I may need an extra day to reply too.

Okay, that's good! xD Cus as you and the mods know, I don't really feel comfortable with other admin, so that would be pretty much perfect.

I like that cash thing. Very persuasive. Though if we did that, the pets might need to cost more because of how easy it'd be to make money. xD

Say, how's the rep system on myBB?

I can totally understand. That post did take some time.

Yes, I know. And did you know that... *tries to think of another fact* Eh, I'm out of things to tell you... for now.

Yep, that'd make sense. Otherwise people would have a billion pets... then again, some people already do. xD

Hmmm, it's okay, I'd say. You can only rep people once (xP) but you can choose how many 'points' to give (1 or 2, but I think you can make it more) and give them a comment. I'm trying to find a new mod for it. Then again, there's always people who make mods for cash, so if I don't find one, I'll try that. 'Cause I'll need that for PixelPuppy too, eventually.

It doesn't actually take me that long, so I have no excuse . . . I just wanna go play Sims . . . xD I'm so nasty. But at least taking longer will let me make a better reply. Cus then I can spellcheck and edit and stuff, and add more detail and make it 2k . . .

Okai. xD Um . . . lesse . . . are the bbcodes the same as on here?

True, but that was mostly from before pets cost money. xD

Ah, okay . . . like, rep them once ever? xP That's stinky. I want the vBulletin rep, lol.

No, it's fine. I do that kinda stuff, too, except for usually it's to post in other sections on Twig. xD

Yes, they are. And you can add your own, too, like youtube videos ('cause if it's your own site, it doesn't matter. xD) and there could be a TwigAdopts code. For example [ta]2928[/ta] would produce the code for a pet with the id of 2928. Wouldn't that be awesome? x3

Yes, you have a point. Still, if you use snaplinks to click lots of pets, or if you write a lot, you can get lots of coins. Oooh, have you seen the fancy new map that Kiri made?

Lol, I know. xP I want vB rep, too. Thank goodness there are mods for stuff like that, so I guess that I could get someone to make it. xD

Holy crap! Persuasive . . .

Yeah, but it's still a little harder. xD

Yeah, I have! :3 I love the map. They were both awesome, actually. xD

Yush . . . lol, I'd feel bad letting you do all that, though. xD You wouldn't mind finding those mods (until I figured out how to, at least xD) whether you were a moderator or not? (Not a lot else I should say about that in the open forum, but you know how it is right now. xD)

That's what I'm aiming for. xD



Yes, they were. But now it's an image map, so that's awesome. Plus she added some new links. x3 She's an awesome artist.

Well, sorta, but you know me. xD 'Course you'd need to know how to install them... do you? xD Yeah, I know how it is. xP Lol, I shall work on my "patience, young grasshopper." Even though I don't see what grasshoppers have to do with patience, 'cause they're always jumping up and down...
Oooh, they don't have patience... Lol, I shoulda noticed that before. xD

You're welcome! :DDD

Oooh, I see. XD I guess I'll just wait until I get there, then. All I really saw was something about him... Well, it's not a bad word, but I don't think I can say it on Twig while used in that context.

Yeah, I love how realistically pregnant they get. Though it kinda sucks 'cause their bladder and hunger is low a lot... But it's cute how they even get morning sickness. X3
Oh, I see. Well, I'm sure they probably can get the flu and stuff if Sims 2 peeps can get sick too. That normally only happens in houses with lots of people, though. And I'm sure they'll make a seasons extension one for Sims 3 too! Or at least make a way so that you can have Sims 2 extensions on Sims 3.

You're welcomez!

You're probably right. xD

Lol, that was a weird paragraph. xD But I'm glad to hear it, I think. I like realistic pregnancies.
