I'm coming from the depths of my angsty senior year from Smellyland to show you all this disgusting picture of myself with loads of bedhead and raccoon eyes: I love my life. Next. This picture of myself that I took in um... September? Sure, September. In this picture I'm not recovering from 6 days of bronchitis like the previous picture. I'm also not holding Microsoft paraphernalia. Enjoy. -Ellie

Ah! I haven't been here in a few days. Thanks so much for the compliments! My hair was a big change. It used to be shoulder length, but I decided it didn't fit my personality so I chopped it all off. I love it now. The green is actually the wall color of my room! Fun, right? I edited the picture so the edges would be blurred. abcvs: One of my favorite paintings actually But, I never intended for my picture to turn out like that, lol. Originally posted by: Boggy1 July 08. It's as if my entire facial structure has changed. Plus, my hair is definitely MILES better now. Right?quote> This picture is BEYOND adorable. I love love love it. haha! Your face has changed. Along with Clint, like you said. You just look older that's all. And your hair has changed, but for the best.

It's been a very long time, and to prove that I'm still alive, here's a picture! I've changed quite a bit. Chopped off the majority of my hair.

I'm truly surprised that I won a Trixie this year. I thought maybe my fellow members of ST that are dear to my heart completely forgot about me. I fell of the face of the earth to go climb the mountains of Tibet (aka the college process). I was successful. I'm so glad you all think I deserve an award, and that I'm still thought about. I also really appreciate it being about The Sims 2, because us TS2 fanatics are the minority here. I'm glad you welcome us with open arms. The Glamour life award is a new one, which I absolutely love. It fits the theme of my Sims Diaries and the personality of the sims I create. WARNING: My sims are absolutely not a recreation of my life or what I want my life to be like! I couldn't thank you guys enough, Ellie

Awww Eastwinn! I'm so proud of my little brother. & of course I'm proud of you too dirk Congrats to both of you! -Ellie

With all the ins-and-outs of ST lately, I did not see this thread until now. It's really hard to think about the last time I talked him. It must have been months and months ago. I believe the last time I talked to him he was trying to explain to me his struggles with his health. It was surprising because I'd known him forever and I never knew he had so many difficulties. He was hilarious and could always make you laugh. He was a writer, a leader, a father and a very intelligent man. I'm positive Simtropolis and Sim Cities will never forget him. Condolences to the family, especially Tom. He is in a better place. -Ellie

I'm sorry, but that is so ridiculous. What's so wrong with play real guitar? And why most they be disliked because they liked guitar hero first? Playing guitar and learning about how to read music is a good hobby and it's so much better than sitting on your couch eating potato chips all day. I'm sorry, but it really bugs me when people say that. Originally posted by: patriots_1228Rock Band (Guitar Hero's Antichrist Child)quote>Have you ever played the game? It's actually really fun, and by "Antichrist child" do you mean a rip-off of guitar hero III? If so, then that's untrue because the same company that created Guitar Hero II developed Rock Band. And if that's not what you meant then I still disagree that it's an "Antichrist" because it's different than the Guitar Hero games and has many more options. Originally posted by: Duke87 -A lot of idiots get really good at it and think that they're automatically as cool as someone who actually plays a guitar when they're not. quote>Why are they idiots? Please explain. I was unaware that people that love a game and want to perfect it are considered idiots. But, if you are referring to the kids that think they are cool because they play, then I agree. Guitar Hero is just a game, it doesn't make you automatically cooler. /end rant. I love Guitar Hero.

Originally posted by: CDB quote>So not funny... But, it was stupid to get that tattoo but I wouldn't say Zunes are "fail" material. kthanks. -Ellie Edit: Oh, and I've also heard about this guy. He has three Zune tattoos, one of them saying "Welcome to the Social."

How Heavy This Axe- The Sword Anyone like The Sword? The new album came out yesterday. It's great

I wish I could heal people instantly of cancer/ other diseases. I cannot make a wish about myself, I'd other feel bad about it.

It's been a true pleasure having Craig (Remembering your name is so much easier than remembering a-b-c-v-s, lol) on staff! And Masochist, my Zune buddy, congrats! Well deserved! -Ellie

Originally posted by: EastwinnI often find people who like Macs also enjoy going around explaining why their computer is better than everyone else's, constantly bringing up Macs superiority in casual conversation, and showing their love for them a little too much.quote>If you replace the word "Mac" with "Microsoft" in this sentence, it would be the perfect description of me. I usually jump into conversations with a.... "Oh and Microsoft will one day own the whole world!" *enter big cheesy grin here* aka: I voted Windows. -Ellie

The red line is my crappy excuse of a property line Pink= House Blue= Garage Green= Barn Oh and that red dot... That's me, of course

Originally posted by: Eastwinn I'm pretty good at guitar hero....quote>That's an understatement Let's see.... I'm a very fast reader and a great writer. I can draw really well, and I excel at portraits. I do get really good grades but I also like to challenge myself in school so, sometimes the grades aren't A's. I know a lot about music, but really... I only know a lot about rock/metal music. I know pretty much everything about The Sims 2 because my life is based around that game And most importantly, I have a wonderful family, and amazing brothers and sisters that are my best friends. Yeah, that's it. I don't like to brag about myself because there really isn't much to brag about...

Well, as some of you might know, I'm a big Microsoft fan. So, I'm just going to ignore this thread all together. Haha, just kidding. I do not use Vista, though my Dad does. After hearing many horror stories and witnessing my little brothers I decided that I liked Vista as long as you don't upgrade from XP to Vista, everything's fine. If you buy a lappy or computer with Vista installed already, I think it'll be okay. Now, all I have to say is, "Shun! Shun the non-believer!!"

I have a Samsung SCH U740. It's a cute little guy that I spent all my money on. It flips open two ways. Once like a regular cell phone then to the side that opens up to a qwerty.

Originally posted by: Mikeaut1 I met Hayley Williams and Taylor York from Paramorequote>*shivers with jealousy* haha I met Betsey Johnson when I was 3 years old in Disney World. My dad worked with her then husband. My dad said that her husband always wore pumpkin colored suits that Betsey made for him I'm meeting Keith Buckley and the rest of the band Every Time I Die on March 16th. I got this special Meet and Greet when I ordered the tickets 4 months in advance He is famous for being in the band, being awesome, and his name shows up on Guitar Hero II on the loading screen before you play their song "The New Black". I predict that I will meet a lot of bands this way in the future Also, my mom has met Dave Grohl's mom and sister and I've hung out on the front porch of his house, lol He had a vacation house in Corolla, North Carolina where I lived for some time. I never actually got to see him though. Brad: My older brother met the guys from The Used at one of their concerts! I wished I was there, but I was like.... 11

I've always wanted to give blood because I've never had a problem with needles as long as I don't look at it while it's being done. Is there a weight you need to be in order to donate?

New new newww
