Sims mess, the past day or two and some near future plans.
Ok so I installed my expansion pack and with it came Body Shop like I hoped. However, since then I have had so many complications and so many things went wrong with it that I don't even know what to say or where to start...
I started morphing my Fiona Apple face on Wednesday... only to discover today that I probably did quite a bit of it wrong. When I exported that face into the game... hardly any of it remained, it was a 'skin' and nothing else I think. I'm not even too sure, it's soo confusing. I had to actually see it in the game because the create a Sim part in my Body Shop is completely frozen. It's not how I want it when I look at it in the manual Sim creator in the game...
So I decided to very manually make a Fiona in the game only to have it freeze on me all 3 times that I tried to make her!! That's why I thought that maybe I should just make some her face, save it and then edit it seeing as I don't have a single bit of Fiona that I'm planning on using in the game yet. *sigh*
On a more positive note, youth club was great yesterday and we went to The Courtyard (centre for the arts) where we watched a few short films made by deaf people seeing as the film fest is on and there weren't really any other things on.
While I was there I got some info on open mic night, which I wanted to attend and is on on Tuesday! I don't even know if I'm going but I kind feel that I despite me pbviously being damn nervous. Just another thing to get done and overcome I guess. I want to find ask a friend to go with me though. I don't even have a backing track.. I dont even know if people go up there and just silently sing with backing music. If I do, I have this fear that my voice will turn to mush. Just practicing now and pretending that I'm up there. Ah, so many doubts and possiblities.
I don't even have the chance to practice seeing as my family are the people I'm most shy in front of.. trust me. Theres usually someone at home too. Agh.. we'll see what happens. I'll keep you updated on that.
Another thing is, while I was there on Thursday there were these people there from the rural media (film) company that I knew about. I told a man from the company who was there that I'd started writing a screenplay and he asked me to come along or to see if they can help with it. I'm definitely thinking of carrying on with my screenplay though. I haven't carried on with it in ages and I'm still on 30 mins of screentime but in the meantime I'm kind of plucking up the energy and the inspiration to carry on with it.
