Me again! :)

Christmas was great! :) I got Glee CDs, moar Webkinz (the game was made for kids, but it's so addictive and the animals are about as cute as toddler picspam, but even more huggable! xD ), and I gave my aunt  a list of the Sims EPs I don't have (Seasons, Bon Voyage, Freetime, Apartment Life) as a gift idea, and she got me AL. Which is almost worse, because now I know exactly what I was missing with BV and FT, and I still don't have Seasons. Next trip to town I am definitely spending my Christmas money from my Dad on Seasons. ("This feature will allow you to ______ when you buy the Sims 2 Freetime") Grrface. Don't get me wrong though, I am grateful for it...

I am going to try to load up Desjardine Springs just to look around, keeping the backup copied safely in case something fiery and bad shows up someplace. Maybe it will give me a better idea of what I was doing way back when...

I have a shiny laptop, got it just before Christmas. It has a graphics card - not an amazing one but my sims don't blurr randomly and loading time is so much shorter than it was on Toshy. My new laptop is called "Howie", in case you were wondering. ;) Also, since I haven't really been motivated to play I have been downloading like a madwoman. All-About-Style is going to hate me for eating up her bandwidth, but that's probably what I've done as I think I have nearly downloaded her entire site. Then I was very sad when I found out Rissa's site was down - I loved her recolours so much and I don't think I'll be able to get Emily's hairstyle back exactly as it had been. I'll probably be gracing the lost and found thread at boolprop before too long...

Then I decided to give ACR a whirl so I played a few Maxis premades to try that out. Veronaville really doesn't get much attention, but I'm really liking it at the moment.

So my playing has been more experimental than constructive. I really don't want to try anything serious until I get Seasons installed again.

I've applied for a few more jobs, but nothing promising yet. There was a diner on the highway that actually is hiring, to my shock and surprise, but I think they're looking for someone older than me to do the waitressing stuff. Also, I have a friend who is in charge of new recruits at SubWay. She can't hire me now, but she said  that if I'm still looking for employment in March, she'll take me. I guess that's something.

I should be getting the first of my uni offers over the next few weeks. Fingers are crossed for UNSW. :)

Anyways, I hope everyone had a happy New Year's Day! What have you all been up to for the past few weeks?
