dear internet,
Should I vanish without posting for long lengths of time please do not be concered, unfortunatly I seem to have gotten somewhat addicted to a certain PS3 based game, something that, to be honest I think you probably all comming and it's somewhat sucking up my free time!!
<3 Otaku!!
. After breifly putting Ken onto the Scientist carer path I caved into his constant unhappyness and got him into music as well. He's now getting little side offers left right and center.
. Bashi has totaly fallen in love with chefing and has now asked for me to work at getting him a promotion (they tell you things they'd like to do that require your interaction as little notes on the side of the screan) and I'm now working at that by getting him smoosing his boss.
. Yesterday OTP sims went out to the art gallery on a date, after talking about the paintings for a while they started holding hands right in everyones way and then Ken kept looking at Rin rather than at the paintings....so sweet!!
. Today I made achieving Ken's 'wahoo' want the object of my morning and after getting interupted by the cleaner (I got fed up constantly asking the boys to clear their mess and with the paper boy just abandoning the things randomly in the house) once I achieved my end just before I left for work...I felt so smug!
. I've put Hideki on the military carer but he's also getting overly stressed so I might see about putting him into gardening instead...because I did promise I'd let him learn the skill and it's actually quite ammusing to think of him toiling away with flowers given that he's the most manly of the bunch!!
. Finally I'm making tomorrow all about getting Hideki a girlfriend....:)
Being as I'm not sure if I'll want to actually be on the net tomorrow I want to wish you all an amazing New Year and to do this:
Last years resolutions:
. Visit Kyoto, both for the Geisha and in order to get more of an idea of what Rin's birth town is like!!
So close, I even had a hotel booked, then I realised my flight was a day later than I thought and that I had figured out the price of my hotel wrong, which meant that I had to give it up. Again.
. Have lots of aimless fun!
110% achieved with 10% error margin
. Talk more to both [info]kitsunekaya and [info]sclez
Skype time totaly counts plus there was my 2 weeks in Japan where I talked to EVERYONE at least once everyday!! Plus I now stalk on Tumblr which means I can make random comments as/when I feel like it!!
. Buy the Rin/iceman/kenichi singles I need in order to fill the gaps!
Well I did buy Always so I at least made a stab at this one concidering how broke I suddenly managed to become this year!!
. Buy more OTP dojinishi!
Done and done, in fact I'm putting in a ship request for the Sexy Dojinishi the second I'm done here!!
and this years go as such:
. Gain something out of Nagoya, even if it is the nessicary basics to carry on with a proper uni based course in 2012
. See Ken for his 40th
. Try to see Rin in some way shape or form
. Spend time with everyone I know in some way shape or form before I fly out for Nagoya!!
. see Scarecrow
