You sound incredibly mature for a 13-year-old. I don't know what to tell you except that. My friend who attends one of the public high schools here is a sophomore and had to ask me how to spell "retarded" (she was writing something to her sister LOL, so kind I know). She also asked me later how to spell a few other very simple words. I don't know if that's just her or the fact that she hasn't had any spelling instruction since the fifth grade. She's in AP courses.

Holy cow! I love finding little CJ's like this, they are like jewels. I love the different BATs, colors, and your beautifully simplistic layouts, such as in the first update on this page. I am just now checking out some of Kwakelaar's stuff - I've never run across it before on the STEX! Looks like gorgeous buildings. Keep up the great work

Here is a teaser from my newest city, called New Dawn. Hopefully it will tease you enough to come back for the full update. Zelgadis: Yeah, Melville is a little denser. Thanks for making me a flag lot! Beebs: Hmm, and I think I’ve missed another one (or two...or three...) of yours as well. Haha, they looked planned out, but that doesn’t mean they are! Usually I just drag roads and streets any way I feel like. Thanks for visiting, beebeth! Anarchy0029: Thank you! That was my first time to make a raised park, I’m glad you noticed it. Leech10: Thanks for your comments, Leech! Dsrwhat316: Thanks, glad you liked the diagonal W2W! It looks cool but is hard to make lol. Well, plop I mean, I didn't make the BATs obviously. Yeah, I just got that new raised park set, and had to play around with it a little of course! That was my first attempt at making one. Thanks for commenting! Cerpin Taxt: Wow, you aren’t kidding, 18 posts in over 3 years! O_o I’m glad you decided to comment here!! Yeah, I used to be a grid addict too But you can break the habit!! Hehe thanks for your comment. penguin007: Thank you! Have fun with the plazas. suplado!: Thanks! I'm glad you liked the park in the first pic. jacqulina: Thank you!

Wow, this is impressive! I love those trees in the Asian city. You have a good grasp of the different citybuilding styles and BATs of different regions. The pics are very bright and colorful, I love that! Great job on this first update!

Congrats to Cockatoo and JanYpe!!

Benedict: Thanks, that plaza is one of my favorites too! Jill Jacobs: Oh, thanks! I didn't make that plaza (hah, I wish I had those lotting skills!). That is actually by BLaM French Connections. I don't think the link works for search results, sorry, just type in the name and their work should come up. The one in the first picture is the Parc de la Concorde, one of my favorites. That third embassy is the Carlton House by onlyplace4. Hope those links were helpful! Thanks for stopping by. Leech10: Here is more! haljackey: Thank you so much! Zelgadis: That would be fabulous, if only I could find my flag URL. Oh, here it is (yay for the search topic tool!) I am eternally grateful. anarchy0029: Hehe, thanks, I love greenery indeed. I appreciate your comments! asturianu: Hmmm, I wonder why they look familiar? Hehe thanks for stopping by amigo mío! los cazadores de mitos? I'm assuming that's "the buster of myths"? Jajajaja too great. See ya later! suplado!: Thanks, great to see you again! penguin007: That is by BLaM French Connections! I'm not entirely sure if the link to search results works so search BLaM French Connections and their plazas should come up. dmscopio: Thanks for commenting!! Glad you enjoyed the torch relay.

Jeje, los paredes se llaman BSC City Walls? Thats the one. I still gotta figure them out, they are so nice looking. I like the GLR in the update, and the trees around the Santa Maria building. Hmm, Ive never eaten any kind of tapas cute magazine though. Oh, but the calamares looks good! Squid...Mmmmm but it has to be soft not chewy... lovely updates mi amigo

commente #1001. I was so close Looking nice and i loove the update on the other page. The trees are cute. Yes, cute. I see you kept the M...cough....Very clever, beebs! M for 1000! I would have never thought of that... Cough... that "ambitious" intersection still makes me laugh..Oh, Im glad I dont have to drive in that city. Hey, you can never have a too gaudy park. Its lovely! oh, that newspaper! I remember it! The caption made me crack up. "demonstrating how the fire was squished" LOL. classic. heres to 1000 more!

Ohhh nice collection of buildings. I love those rowhouses...nice use of the trees in "the boulevard" jaja

Looking good. nice to see the red river and the peaceful farms. You inspire me to make a farm town myself

I've always liked your suburbs beebs. These look great. I also like the wide open grass areas, and the zoomed-out view is realistic.

Oh, I love this little town, Calvario. Me gusta este pueblo The Plaza Mayor is my favorite. I like the red corner building you can see in the 3rd picture. The ciudadela is lovely too. Nice job with the city walls (I think they are called? I just got them and am trying to figure them out lol).

Another update from La Aldea Rictiovarus: Actually I adjusted the curves in Photoshop and played with the color balance… I’m not particularly fond of filters, unless it’s a sharpening effect or something...Thanks for the comment! Manubeas: Oh, thank you I have like 900mb in my plugs ins or something lol. I appreciate your comment! CarmineHilton: Oh yes, I would love to vacation in the Movian Empire! Apparently, most Tierrans agree with me. Actually I have a house there don’t I? LoL Thanks for the comment Carmine! Leech10: Thanks, hope you like this update! jacqulina: Haha, thanks, glad you liked the newspaper! NMUSpidey: Well, thanks! asturianu: Cómo estás amigo mío? Well, the relay took place just before that picture was taken, and people are following Thats my reasoning anyway lol. Believe it or not I've never been to LA so I don't know. DC traffic is horrendous though. (Take the Metro ) Yes, you must update for Assiniboine! Rofl well I suppose you can play on the playground if you want You know, being PM can be very stressful...Gotta relax somehow! See ya later. Benedict: Thanks! Glad you stopped by! ky72x: Aye, some weird Tierrans think they can be the amazing Relient K. Psssh. Haha, yeah, the relay was quite a sucess! Thanks for your comments

Well I see why they want to make it 18 to prevent binge drinking. I think people need to exercise a little more moderation though. >_> Show a little maturity? Furthermore, "by choosing to use fake IDs, students make ethical compromises that erode respect for the law."quote> IMO the disrespect for the law was already in existence. I myself have no desire to drink, I am almost 18 and I don't care if they lower it or keep it the same. I'd probably prefer it to stay the same actually, thinking of myself as drinking age would make me feel old

Lol. I remember the suga fan club..Sloppet anti-fan club.. How do you pronounce 'Ype,' really? I'm curious.

"Oftenly," Marc?

Oh, that is too bad about your cities crashing! I liked Asmara city too. Congrats on 500 replies! I like your magazine.

Nicely done for an all-Maxis city. (So far) I would suggest, a STEX spree Lol and this is your first post wow! Good luck with your CJ!

Ohh Very nice! I adore the beautiful colors! Oh and the way you mix the French buildings with all the other diverse W2W. They fit so well.

Lol...weird topic I usually dont eat chips but when I do I eat them in regular-sized bites..Not in one bite... O_o I dont use dip unless its Salsa.

ky72x: Thanks Kyle! I'm glad you liked your embassy (and the canals). Hahaha, yeah, I'm surprised people picked up on that Relient K reference Well, I guess that's one of their more famous songs... LoL and of course I had to put Glenni's Kebab on there. Watch for it in the simlympics newspaper. See ya! anarchy0029: Thanks for stopping by! rusty_777: Thank you! Glad to see you here again. Leech10: Hehe, spam. CarmineHilton: Thanks, glad you liked the Movian embassy! zelgadis: Yep, I finally got around to placing the flag! I think it looks really good. How did you make it? (*Thinks about making one for Tierra*) Haha, thanks for the comments, I appreciate them! Dsrwhat316: Hey Dan! Thanks, so glad you like them. The SAM? Is that the mod that changes the color of the roads? I am not sure. I checked it out a while ago. Do you think it would look better? ilikehotdogsalot: Haha, my friend and I were randomly talking one day, like a year and half ago, and I was like, "What does proverbial mean?" We still haven't figured it out. The land of the darkness thanks you for commenting! beebs: Hey Beebeth!! Lol so glad you stopped by. penguin007: Thank you for your great comments

Heya!! Sorry I haven't been here in SO long and didn't get to bump your CJ from the dark abyss of page five hundred and three Instead I"ll be the first comment for this update! (hopefully, but knowing me, this will probably take like 20 minutes to type and someone will beat me to it) Aaaanyway...That is a pretty cool logo and I might have to check out that label service meself... Oh boy a link to my embassies! Glad you liked yours! Oilified hahaha...Sorry, I'm not crazy about photoshop filters. (That is what you used?)

I'm going to have to check out this video making software..[sorry that was random] Well nice update Mas!

Replies Next Time! Hope you enjoyed the Simlympics Update!

Mine would be the future Of course I think that is what keeps everyone motivated. I have future plans, goals, etc I am constantly making lists, to-do lists of menial everyday tasks, or bucket lists, things I must do before I die Or lists of ways to improve, then working to accomplish those improvements, usually in a time frame I devise for myself. My hope of something better keeps me going, hope that I will do better next school year, or make new friends. Mainly what keeps me going right now is the thought of college. Saving for college, getting good grades.

Pretty sweet! I always think of cloaked ships on Star Trek, haha
