aelia...otherwise known as Aelia is bored, and likes the sound of her own voice typing.
1) Trains.
To the dickhead who saw that at least eight people were running for the 8.04 train, and thus deliberately got in our way and started walking really really slowly in order to make us miss it? Way to be a cock. I hope karma comes and bites you on the arse.
Also, seriously people? Having a massive screaming argument with your signifigant other in the middle of the train? Not cool. Keep that kind of shit at home. We really, reaaaaally don't want to hear the gory details about how you hate him and how he is crap at sex at half eight in the morning. GTFO.
2) Thread crocheting is a bitch. My fingers are really rather sore from a) continually ramming the metal hook into them, and b) holy shit that thread is tough. I am however determined to make this.
I may or may not take a break from it to make the ridiculously bright purple beret I feel I need. Needs moar purple.
3) Speaking of crochet, I really want to make something for the november theme on GoS but I am not sure what. Would a stack of crocheted granny square blankets on various meshes fit the theme and be desirable? I was thinking too of a bunch of really long, vintage-y broomstick skirts on a new shiney mesh I am working on, but idk. I want to make a bunch of Gypsy Moon skirts on it too, but that definately isn't really thrifty.
4) It is wierdly difficult to remember how to make sims stuff after a month or two of not. I tried to retexture a hair last night, and failed so hard. >< I also had a huge, mental, todo list,and I have utterly forgotten it all.
I know learning how to hair mesh was on the list. Yes. I want to go back and remake that teeny pigtail mesh I tried months back to be less sucky, and I really want to try my hand at some decent dreadlock meshes, starting with a dreadlock updo. I have a character I want to sim, and Nouk's long dreads get a little boring after a while (never mind that they are too long for her)
5) Speaking of forgetting how to do things, I have utterly lost my ability to draw :( This greatly disappoints and upsets me as I used to be quite good at it. It is my mission over the break to regain my previous skill. You lot do not mind if I occasionally spam you with drawings?
6) I don't really have a six, but I am bored senseless, and embassrassed because my class just watched my film, and it is shit in comparison. I will have to leave the room tomorrow night when it comes on, because it is so crap. :( It is also my mission over the break to improve my animations skills, so that I might obtain a job in the industry, and more importantly, obtain my awesome goal of making animated feature films of people's books and comics, that ARE ACTUALLY TO THE FUCKING BOOK. I have always wanted, say, just one adaptation of an Agatha Christie novel that does not make me RAEGFACE at the stupid and arbitary changes that they seem to think are needed. Plus I think drawing Poirot and Hastings would be hilariously fun.
Er yes, that is all. I will stop spamming you with random crap, and do something constructive. I will attempt to make the next post here actually sims related.

Date: 2009-11-16 11:56 am (UTC)I'm still ascared of thread crochet, even though I have a bunch of thread and beads. Suddenly I want to play with it, even though I have a bunch of holiday gifts to make (Socks! Scarves! Beholders!) and don't have time to futz around. Aaargh.
3: I think granny square blankets are definitely thrify--I've seen quite a few in secondhand and charity shops.
4&5: It'll come back after some practice! But that practice period is ARRRGH pain in the ass. I go through these months long stints where I don't draw anything, and sometimes I can pick it right back up, but sometimes... a couple of years ago I did that and when I came back to it I was drawing like I did fifteen years before. Embarrassing. I ended up doing a ton of boring practice exercises to get my flow back, because drawing people was too disheartening.
Anyhow, yes. Lots of sympathy there. :/ And please do make with the spamming of artwork.

Date: 2009-11-16 01:06 pm (UTC)It's been surprisingly fun so far, despite the exasperating bits. I think a lot of my trouble has been that I was working with black thread, and thus could not see a thing that I was doing. I'd love to start adding beads though.
Ooh socks, I've not made socks before, but rather have remained in the realm of unfinished scarves (I like long, Tom Baker-esque scarves, and thus either get bored with it, or run out of wool) and hats.
3) I thought so too, especially if I make a couple in older colourschemes. (Hell, knowing me, I will make an overabundance of colour choices. I simply cannot help myself XD)
4&5) Heh, I seem to get stuck in an infinate loop of being disheartened at lost skill and inability to draw people, which makes me want to practice less, which leads to the obvious conclusion there. I'm more embarrassed by the fact too that I haven't seemed to have progressed much past the level I was drawing at back in high school, and I think that I should have.
Haha, thanks for reading my Monday morning moaning :P And I intend to!

Date: 2009-11-18 06:56 am (UTC)2. Oo crochet. I used to, but I have forgotten I think. That necklace is really pretty, but, dare I say, needs moar neon? :D?
3. All of those ideas sound suitably, and most important of all, amazing and Aeliaesque (its a new word: i'm experimenting).
4. I know you wanted to Pooklet that really short ephemera M2F hair (that both you and Sulli? did but yours was better, jsyk), erm, I will read through our threadz.
5. I would love being spammed by drawings. :} I am sure you will relearn, its a case of pracising, I think.
6. I am sure your animation is fine, and that everyone feels that way about their film. Did it go well?
Also, I agree with you, my favourite adaption of Agatha Christy was the Dr Who one (obv) or Joan Hicks/David Suchet. Pls don't add a homoerotic subtext between him and Poirot: I want to live.

3)Ahaha, thank you, I had forgotten that :D I want to do bosie's Surrender hair in those colours too, so I shall get to it.
5) Yeah, I know it is, but practice is sucky :P I want instant ability dammit XD
6)It went pretty well considering :D I haven't actually seen very many of them, considering that I turn them off in a towering rage after about fifteen minutes because that's about all I can stand what with retarded changes. And AJKLGJFKDLGH NO. Dear God, no. Poirot and Hastings = entirely platonic friends. There is no kinky behaviour behind closed doors. Gah.
