Born In The Wrong Era, Fashion-Wise

crossover_chickOn a slight "Corpse Bride" kick lately (Victor Van Dort = teh skinny cute), which just reaffirms my love for Victorian-era stuff. I'm certainly glad corsets are gone, but a lot of the other costuming is quite beautiful. Don't think I could live without my modern technology, though.
-TD: There's always steampunk.-
Yes, but it's kind of useful having computers that don't take up five tons of space.
-VD: Are you going to buy the DVD when you head up to Borders?-
Maybe. Or get a book on it. Maybe look for an Alice-related book too. I got a nice chunk done last night with that.
-HD: That's good to hear. How far until the end?-
Not too far now -- I admit, I'm a little unsure how to actually end the story, but I think I've got a good idea.
-WRM: *dances and sings* I killed the Jabberwock, I killed the Jabberwock-
-MHG: A toast to our brave hero then! *HatterDoc and friends all down tea*-
It's a wonder you guys don't have to go to the bathroom more often.
-VD2: *chuckle* They go often enough. Trust us.-
-HD: *rolls eyes* We don't drink all that much.-
-MHG: Yes, with his "Clean Cup" routine, most of us get barely a sip!-
-HD: Ha ha ha.-
-DW: Get anything done today, besides listening to "My Chemical Romance" and mooning over Victor?-
Not really, except for a short update on the Hill Valley sims.
-RPD: Let's hear it then.-
-RPD: *looks at cut text* I assume we're talking about Goldie again.-
Hehehe, yup. Good old Goldie is still making the pretty flowers. He also wanted to get a makeover chair, but I denied him that. Got to get some other stuff first.
Work was the usual for Goldie -- he's finally been promoted to Intern, so no more ultra-long shifts. He also met Marissa Bendett when he came home -- they hit it off reasonably well. Weather is a hot topic for my Sims lately -- maybe they're just as excited about Seasons as I am.
-RPD: *goes solid and grabs paper* I have a statement. Ahem. "To Victoria, ruler of Sims: If you have any of our digital Sim representations drink eggplant juice, we will be forced to put you out the window again. Signed, Dr. Emmett L. Brown times eight."-
LOL, come on. . . .
-RPD: Only unless the Prima Guide or BBS says something nice happens with it.-
Then I guess I'll have to make the Tannens grow eggplants.
-RPD: THAT we can FULLY endorse.-
Back to Goldie. He studied Mechanical as night fell and Marissa left -- his comfort was really down.
Then, I figured, what the heck, and invited Linda McFly over.
-M: Still determined to get them together, however briefly?-
Yup! They do have two lighting bolts. She arrived quickly, and they talked sports and played red hands.
I impulsively had Goldie ask her what she wanted -- and she said she wanted to kiss him! Awww. . . .
I didn't act on it, a little too afraid of being rejected. Goldie did give her a "congrats on being so hot," though.
I finally gave Linda the boot near midnight. Seeing as Goldie was exhausted and his current bed was somewhat substandard, I upgraded before sending him to sleep.
And that's all she wrote, because of his super-long shift. Good for those Fridays where I get caught up in something else, though.
-RPD: *nodnod* When are you making a new backup, though?-
This weekend. I just want to finish off my current Eureka cycle. Then I'll back up and not play again until I have a new vid card and Seasons. Maybe I should look for the Prima Guide at Borders.
-OD: Do you really think they'll have it?-
*shrug* Worth a look.
So, yes, I probably should do some typing.
-TD: Finish up "Marty In Wonderland," then you can get to finishing off my Chapter 9 with fewer distractions.-
-D: There's still "From the Ashes Reborn" to contend with, you know.-
-TD: Yes, but it'll be ONE item off the list.-
-VD: You've really gotten into "From the Ashes Reborn," haven't you?-
*blush* Yeah, I know. I'm glad![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
martyfan made me sum it up for her, I'm loving writing it.
-VD: Just so long as you don't completely forget everything else.-
No worries -- you got a few edits last night too.
-VD: *perks up* Great!-
-VD2: How about those drabbles88s, though?-
I'll get to them. . . . TeenDoc has a point though. Let's see if I can finish off "Marty In Wonderland."
-HD: Great! Let's celebrate. CLEAN CUP, CLEAN CUP, MOVE DOWN, MOVE DOWN!-
