I can relate... to combining a lot of inappropriate words together, especially when I'm angry. People tend to be scared when I get to that point of pissed-off-ness. LOL. I did make my hubs laugh one time when we were making fun of something and I strung a bunch of words together though XD that time I wasn't angry I was just supporting his anger towards whatever he was making fun of.<br /><br />Strange... I don't like when books are labelled in the wrong genre, cause then it just disappoints people LOL. I suppose that's inevitable sometimes though, for something to be misplaced since no one's perfect and all that.<br /><br />Oh ok, haha, I'm glad you didn't read ahead. XD I have heard of some people who literally will read the end of a story first and then go back to the beginning, and as a writer, it just... irritates me I guess? Like I put all this effort into building up a great story and they just fast forwarded to the end.. seriously? LOL. Anyway, Haha, thanks for not doing that. :) I like you more now. ♥LateKnightSimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641353218072486154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-42973344114409953372015-02-13T17:20:21.495-08:002015-02-13T17:20:21.495-08:00Lol textbooks aren't even reputable anymore lo...Lol textbooks aren't even reputable anymore lol that's a really dumb thing for anyone to say...That doesn't even make logical sense lol.<br /><br />I have the worst vocabulary when I'm mad...I can clump 4 or 5 swear words into 1 word *blush* but I guess I kind of do feel better after saying it. It kind of depends on who you're with too...I get really quiet and shut myself off when I get yelled at but I will talk about the issue later on. I'm a very "soft" person, idk I get very emotional about things sometimes :/<br /><br />And yes it was a weird book lol it was supposed to be a mystery but I didn't think it really counted as a mystery because there was nothing to really think about lol.<br /><br />I don't want you to get the wrong idea about what I said lol I don't read ahead, that would really confuse me lol. I looked ahead for that one chapter I like being surprised so I wouldn't look like 5 chapters ahead lol that would really ruin the moment for me especially since you always have surprises in your stories. And yes you need the perfect timing to drop the bomb lol <br /><br />littlesims2chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12688461785560031787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-78823098242222777022015-02-08T22:58:56.681-08:002015-02-08T22:58:56.681-08:00LOL, well at the time yeah I thought she was a cra...LOL, well at the time yeah I thought she was a crazy bitch, but in here I honestly just typed chick naturally, so I guess I'm over that experience. I still remember it though... She was claiming that textbooks gave more accurate advice than a personal experience... *rolls eyes so hard*<br /><br />Yelling I think is something that does happen naturally in relationships, but it's only effective if the couple eventually calms down and talks to each other. I know, I have a bad temper, and sometimes yelling makes me feel better because it exerts the pent up energy I have inside that I need to let out. Keeping it in just makes me feel like shit and I end up getting edgy and irritable all day. I do agree that yelling at someone just to yell at them and make them feel bad is counter-productive and really dumb, like what the chick did to me in the forum. She just wanted to make herself feel better by putting me down. I do think that if you're yelling to try to get things out in the open, then it can be productive if you talk about it calmly later.<br /><br />What? No sequel? That sounds like a strange book. LOL. Haha, I can't really stop you from cheating and looking ahead, but I will say I think the story makes a lot more sense and is more effective if it's read in order. I realize that sounds like common sense. Haha. I didn't put Verona's mom and Camo meeting till later on in the story because it's one of the more dramatic turning points in a lot of these character's lives, and if I had put it in too early, the story would have been too short and I wouldn't have gotten the pleasure of building up to that exciting moment.

But yeah that was totally unnecessary..Some people just don't know when to shut up. It's just common sense that someone who has experienced something can give better insight on that situation to another person experiencing it lol...She sounds silly. <br /><br />Yeah, if they would've started arguing it wouldn't have ended well for them...As I like to say it: "Say it with love" lol. I feel like yelling only makes people hate you...It only stresses you out and the person your yelling at and at the end of the day nothing really gets solved so I just don't believe in it...I don't know maybe it's a generational thing, but I find it counter-productive. <br /><br />Yeah the last novel I read got me so pissed off lol the author just left things on a cliff hanger and didn't even make a sequel :/ lol. I 'cheated' and looked over the next chapter...I know it's risque judging by the pictures lol ;) Hopefully Camo will meet Verona's mother pretty soon but I definitely know it's not the next chapter :)littlesims2chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12688461785560031787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-50188952794651510992015-02-05T20:01:19.267-08:002015-02-05T20:01:19.267-08:00LOL, no worries, I don't feel like you're ...LOL, no worries, I don't feel like you're preaching at me. I think you're right too, about certain situations, and some people having stricter limits on the situations. That's perfectly normal. XD Eee, I'm glad you don't like unnecessary preaching/telling people they're wrong on the internet, LOL, I hate people who do that. Seriously. It's ridiculous. Ha, that's one instance where I don't tolerate. XD I had some chick on the Sims3 forum back in the day basically tell me my advice I gave another Simmer was lame and fake, so I was pretty mad about that and I never talked to that chick ever again. It was pretty stupid too because the advice I was giving that Simmer was from personal experience, but yeah, I don't know anything about it. Whatever... to her. LOL.<br /><br />Yeah, it's true. I'm all for fighting for what you want and stand for, but sometimes that's not the way to handle something, especially if it's with someone you care about, like Verona's case with Camo. Simply yelling at them and telling them they're stupid is going to get you nowhere, and it's even more the case with this couple. Camo's already been put down his whole life because he doesn't fit The Compound's mold. If Verona had acted just like that, and put him down, it would have driven him straight back to The Compound because he would have probably thought there was truth in what he had been taught.<br /><br />LOL. I know what you mean about cliffhangers. ROFL, meat. XD<br />Heehee, I'm saying nothing, but I am excited for you to see that scenario when it comes up since you've been so excited about it yourself. :DLateKnightSimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641353218072486154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-47802045292248480462015-02-05T12:05:14.415-08:002015-02-05T12:05:14.415-08:00disagree* not disagreeing...Lol disagree* not disagreeing...Lol littlesims2chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12688461785560031787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-78620447623745996372015-02-05T12:04:40.822-08:002015-02-05T12:04:40.822-08:00It definitely is a matter of personal opinion lol....It definitely is a matter of personal opinion lol. An opinion can't be proven wrong or right so it's one of those sticky situation for some. Don't get me wrong I would give anyone a second chance but there are just some instances where I draw the line and that's one of them. But to each their own... :D *winces* I hope you don't think I'm 'preaching' to you or anything like that. Believe me, that's the last thing I would do...Especially on the internet lol. ^_^<br /><br />Ahhh yes, love doesn't judge...It's a shame that in this day in age some people still don't realize that. *Shakes head* so many arguments and division between groups could be avoided if people just stop judging each other and POLITELY disagreeing if they have a disagreement *sigh* Not everyone can do that though. Verona definitely loves Camo, she handled that situation well..Now that I think about how this could've possibly turned out lol. <br /><br />Everyone has a love-hate relationship with cliff hangers (in a good way) lol. But yeah I'm dying to see what happens when her mom meets Camo (I almost wrote meat instead of meet :P) littlesims2chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12688461785560031787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-66261868712904287542015-02-04T21:27:27.118-08:002015-02-04T21:27:27.118-08:00Andromeda's walking on some thin ice here, tru...Andromeda's walking on some thin ice here, trusting The Compound people, but she honestly doesn't know any better. Well, Enigma is telling the truth, he's never punched Andromeda before, except for that one time you read about. He also doesn't plan on hitting Andromeda ever again. He does love her, even though their marriage is incredibly fucked up. I think it's a matter of personal opinion, like some people are more forgiving than others, not that one is better than the other, but I'm more willing to give people a second chance, which is why I wrote Andromeda and Enigma's marriage the way I did. I'm also willing to give them a second chance if they show me they have improved, or are trying to improve. If they don't show any effort, and keep doing the thing I said not to do, then that's when I draw the line.<br /><br />Verona and Camo's relationship is one of real love, no judgment, and Camo needs that in order to begin his healing process. Verona feels like she's learning more about Camo by being accepting. She knows he doesn't like it there and doesn't like about 99% of the shit he has to deal with, so that made her not go all crazy about it. She doesn't like it by any means though, of course. No one wants to hear that their boyfriend has to be forced to have sex with random people. Verona's also smart, and Camo's shelter is sounding very controlling in her eyes, so she's gathering that it's not exactly an easy thing to try to stop by herself. They definitely have real sparks flying everywhere though. LOL. I love writing them. XD<br /><br />Yup, Kalya's answered your questions here LOL. I like building my story this way, it lets readers have questions, and keeps them curious for more. Life is definitely about mistakes, I feel mistakes are the best way to learn. Kalya's just too paranoid right now and she's going about it the wrong way. Thankfully Verona is smart enough not to remain sheltered under her mother's wing. That would be doing neither Verona or Kalya any favors.LateKnightSimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641353218072486154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-85527809538229544922015-02-04T20:44:49.325-08:002015-02-04T20:44:49.325-08:00I wasn't quite sure how to feel about Andromed...I wasn't quite sure how to feel about Andromeda in this chapter...im glad she's breaking away from her husband for a while but then again she's being brainwashed. And Enigma keeps trying to justify his actions by saying it was only one time...I don't know...that just feels so wrong to me..But then again I can't let my personal experiences drive my perception on your characters ...I feel like if a guy hits a girl once then she shouldn't give him anymore chances....Maybe it's just a cultural thing...I don't know *shrug* <br /><br />Verona is so accepting of Camo and his awkward situations regarding the shelter. If I was Verona I would make sure that he would not be participating in the reproduction schedule even if he dreamed about it lol. It's nice she shows him what real love is though. Attraction and sparks...Undeniable.<br /><br />The last chapter I was like "hmm why did Kalya fall for a drug addict when she's so uptight" now it makes sense. :) I understand her trying to protect her daughter but she has to let her live.

She does really like him at this point. XD<br /><br />Absolon's parents are pretty screwed up, they are grasping at straws at this point with their marriage, or what's barely left of it.<br /><br />Kalya is caught up in appearances. She's also paranoid Verona will be poor, which is unnecessary. She fears if Verona dates "commoners," she'll be lost to drugs or somehow ruin her life in some way. She doesn't trust Verona out of fear that Verona will mess up her own life. Kalya thinks of commoners the same way that The Compound thinks of The Strangers, dangerous and scary, and unacceptable to hang out with because they'll taint Verona.LateKnightSimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641353218072486154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-29665772630046408042013-11-22T04:39:32.174-08:002013-11-22T04:39:32.174-08:00Camo is so clueless and innocent. *L* He just say...Camo is so clueless and innocent. *L* He just says things.

She really cares about her daughter, but she doesn't want her to have the same life she did. Verona's safety and best interest is at heart, but she isn't sure how to protect her daughter. Also, Camo and Verona make the cutest couple! I don' t think Kay has anything to worry about..unless Veorna gets involved with the Compound, but I don't think she will. She doesn't seem like that type of person.

He knows he doesn't like the majority of the things he has to do, but he doesn't know that it's uncommon. Verona's been taught well by Charles not to judge anyone so when Camo says things that sound strange to her, so she doesn't pick on him for it. She thinks his shelter is weird, but they both don't know that it's a cult.<br />Andromeda is kind of oblivious when it comes to common sense. She has no idea it's a cult either, she just thinks it's some community center where they help people.LateKnightSimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641353218072486154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-40044794881733148912013-04-08T11:34:55.762-07:002013-04-08T11:34:55.762-07:00Verona's mom has been misguided because both o...Verona's mom has been misguided because both of her parents acted like how she's acting now. The difference is that Kalya does really love Verona and would never want to disown her. Meeting Charles was the best thing for her because he's the complete opposite of her. Hmm.. not sure what she'd think of Camo.. I want to say it could go several different ways depending on how she approaches it.<br />It's okay, I love Batman. I actually picked Enigma's name from Edward Nygma, the Riddler. Enigma's really living in the past and his selfish, stubborn nature is blinding what's actually happening in the present. If he could get past that, he would find that Absolon isn't really 'in his way' as much as he thinks. In the previous chapter, when he had nothing to hide in his motel room and didn't get angry at Andromeda even when she kept assuming the worst, things went better for him, so here's hoping he can figure that out.LateKnightSimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641353218072486154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-48228638698568017292013-04-08T10:32:26.035-07:002013-04-08T10:32:26.035-07:00Well, that's interesting that Absolon's Mo...Well, that's interesting that Absolon's Mom got involved with Compound. But she does fit into the profile, being the type to think that outside forces can change her life(like, believing a baby would fill the void in her life, when that doesn't work out the way she expected, let's try a cult)<br /><br />Verona and Camo are so cute together! I love how he answers her questions so honestly. Maybe he just doesn't know how weird having a reproduction schedule would sound. But hopefully as she learns more about what Camo is involved in, she'll start helping him get out.yangthecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083940950118677312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-32073242798291458782013-04-07T10:54:50.946-07:002013-04-07T10:54:50.946-07:00Well, I'm glad Verona's mom is realizing h...Well, I'm glad Verona's mom is realizing her mistake before it's really too late.
