What are you thinking right now?

Hello Freakziilla, nice to meet you. So did you find anything embarrassing when you googled yourself?!

Hope you get back into sims

I'm thinking my cousins must have adopted those kids.

Invite themselves round for afternoon tea (since they were "just passing through", how can you be "just passing through" if I live in a cul-de-sac?) to listen to three hours of thinly veiled boasting about their careers & the jolly fun of being banned from wine bars for starting a "ruck" with other cousins & complete strangers (how can you start a fight in a wine bar?).

Both kids - about nine or ten (don't know for sure because I don't care about them or these particular relations) look completely mortified. I mean scarred-for-life look mortified.

If kids should be mortified by their parents, it should be for the standard embarrassing baby photographs or "here they are playing a tomato and a herpes virus in the school play", not their parents telling Uncle Minty while they are left at home torturing tonight's babysitter what a pair of complete fannyspangles they are, & expecting a round of applause for it.

If those kids decide one night to attach that waterbed of theirs to the mains ("we have so much fun in it" to schoolboy-schoolgirl sniggers & theatrical "knowing looks"), I'll be a character witness for them in court & say for their own well being they had to poach the bar stewards.

sometimes you don't have to put your entire life's details out there.

Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaay... now where did I put those spiders there's a helicopter going round & round above us. All its lights are out & it is not shining a search beam. What is it hoping to see doing that?

(Just googled, apparantly they have special goggles for watching the grounds. If it starts dropping flares like in that film "Tomorrow When The War Began", I'm not sticking around inside here!)

Where I live, the hills around town are covered in bush and there's like a billion pot farms in there. Every now and then the cops fly around in helicopters spraying the crops. The sound is insane, it feels like you're in a war zone, haha. The sirens here are really loud too and they take forever to start to oscillate so everyone holds their breath until they do. No oscillation = tsunami warning.

Over here the pot growers do so in basement factories using hydroponics and artificial sunlight lamps. They wire themselves to an outside electricity source such as local streetlamps to cover their tracks (if the electricity board find a customer's usage jumping up to ludicrous levels they send an investigation team around as that's usually the first sign it's someone growing pot plants, & if refused entry that's when the police are tipped off).

They get caught if they stay in one place for too long, that is long enough for the electricity board to wonder about the outage in one particular street that has nothing in it but streetlamps and some disused industrial buildings.

What gets me about these idiots is that they could make a fortune growing hemp out in the open not for wacky baccy. The stuff is virtually a recession proof crop as it grows so fast even in British sunlight (a favourite student prank is to plant hemp seeds in any flower beds outside police stations & let nature take its course) and is used for so many products there's always a market for it. You can make clothes, rope, milk substitute, food, anti-inflammatory cream, insulation, vehicle panels (mixed with fibreglass), paper (it costs more to make, but doesn't deteriorate as quickly) & as a crop to decontaminate soil.

Thinking whether to risk a washing after last night's torrential rain. It has to be all out of rain clouds by now, but there's gulls squarking everywhere, which is not a good sign. Why do the gulls come further inland if there's bad weather at the coast anyway? Why does rain bother them when they'll happily spend all day with their bums in the sea?

That must be very unnerving!

Right now I am thinking that this has been a very exhausting week. I worked most of last weekend so I started this week feeling worn out. It's been so humid, feels like all the energy has been sucked out of me. Enough moaning though, all this can be fixed by a nice cold G&T and the approach of this weekend, when I'll be freeeee! Hopefully I will get to do some simming and my friend can show me her new Skyrim prowess (or we can laugh at her non-prowess)

[bobert26]

It is! But I guess that's what you get when you live near the sea. :/

I think I'm just gonna chill this weekend.

I'm thinking maybe Putin had a point jailing those members of Pussy Riot having now heard the song in question.





It's bloody awful!

Can't we do that in Britain every time Britain's Got Talent & The X Factor come on TV? Round them up & have them breaking rocks on Dartmoor or something?
