Ok...i hate it when people have screen/nicknames that i do not know how to pronounce and/or have hard-to-remember spelling. Since most (all) of you are probably not Bulgarian, i thought i'd help you with mine a bit. People refer to me as "6aka" or "6" or "akalaka", which is all fine and understandable, since most of the world does not use "6" as a letter. I quite like 6aka actually :)
Anyways... "6" is used by Bulgarians on the Interwebs to replace "sh". The word for six in Bulgarian starts with that sound, so it's become a regular thing to use "6" instead of "sh". It's shorter, i guess :D So if you were wondering how to pronounce it it's actually shakalaka. There was some song a long, long time ago that was saying "shaka laka, shaka laka".... I don't even remember what song it was, but that's where it's from.
I just Googled it though and was surprised and amused to find that it's a

I seem to remember it sounding a lot different and i don't think it was by Shaggy. I might be totally wrong though and it's possible i named myself after a Shaggy song. LOL, LOL, LOL!

10. song by someone named Sweetbox, that i've never heard of. Or at least i don't think i have. Because the part ( and only that part) where the chick repeats "shakalaka, shakalaka, shakalaka" sounds very familiar and i think my screen name might be coming from that song *is confussed and possibly very embarassed* - www.youtube.com/watch
Just another random fact... We, Bulgarians ( and possibly some other Eastern Europeans) also use "4", when typing, instead of "ch". same reason. The word for the number 4 in Bulgarian starts with that sound.
EDIT- OK, does anyone know if shakalaka actually means something. Aside for the 3 songs, listed above i just found like... a lot more that use that word. Usually in combination with "boom" or "boom, boom". If that many peoplez are using it for songs, it must mean something, no? To add to the 3 songs above...

I hope you all have an amazing Christmas (or just have some winter fun if you don't celebrate it)! Wishing you all a great 2010, full of much happiness and love.. And remember, don't drink and drive :) It still counts, even if it's New Years' eve :D
Gosh, i hate those secrets, seriously! What caught my attention this week....
EDIT-Nevermind.... Silly
kkkayleighh was silly. That's all :D
Also....
Enjoyingmypain, I don't really know you, but i think yyu do a good job with the retextures, so don't let this secret discourage you. I don't comment a lot, as i don't really like your choice in the meshes you retexture, but i have one or two of yours in my game and they are great. I don't know what exactly the secret-maker wants you to stop, but... don't :) If anyone else on my f-list got a bad secret and i missed it, i apologize. I barely glanced through them. I gotta say i kinda agree with the one about binning Pooklet's dark brown as black, though. It's a bit annoying, but thankfully there's the Wardrobe Wrangler and it's easy to change that.

First of all, special, huge thanks to CP and Buttercup for the snowflake cookies :) Yummmmm.... You are both so sweet to do that.
And now for some pointless spam.... And Happy Holiday Season to all :)

( cat pics and random blabbing )
And now for something kinda related, but not really.... If any of you are from the US and/or know about ridiculous right-wing bullshit issues (particularly the whole war on Christmas thing...) , you should so watch this, if you haven't already
Colbert totally rocks, btw. His show is one of the funniest things on TV and that Christmas Special from last year has been cracking me up all weekend and still is. Watch the whole thing, seriously.
EDIT- Why the hell is the video not centered, like everything else?!?!?!! Why do you always have to be such a bitch, LJ?!

I wasn't planning to upload them, as i never do with my sims. Mostly cause i think no one would be interested in them. But the sweet Selzi asked for them and instead of sending them to her, i decided to just put them up here, i case there's anyone out there that might want them. I'll only put completely unedited BS pics here so you can see what they really look like. I hate it when i download a sim that looks gorgeous in game, while making cute faces and a picture that's edited to hell and back and then once i see them in BS i wanna scream. So i'm trying to be honest and show you their "real" faces. Although i think they look pretty much the same as they did in my in game pics from two posts back. IF you haven't seen those yet and are interested in seeing them in game, there's a whole post with huge pics, dedicated to those 3, from a few days ago.
I've packaged them in two different ways- with custom hair and with a basegame hair, cause i know how frustrating it is if you don't want the particular CC hair a sim comes with and gotta deal with a half-headed sim in BS.
Damn, once i start babbling, i can't stop :D Sorry about that :)
Anyways....DOWNLOADS!
Starting with Falcon.
EDIT- His awesome skin is by maggie_strange, btw and you can grab it at her journal. Sorry, i couldn't make her name as a link, because when i try to do so, it refuses to stay centered, goes all the way to the left and looks weird. If by any chance you don't know who she is or how to find her journal, look at the comments :)
EDIT2- And then when i tried to remove the link from the name, the whole post appeared as a link to maggie_strange's journal and all pics and links, and everything was gone. Grrr, i hate LJ coding, seriously.
Well... the post should be fixed and public again :D

Hmmm... so i started a new (well, old, but supposedly EMPTY) hood for the RR. I've spent hours on Halloween decorating the heir's house and i put in those 4 sims i showed you as townies. I just went in game to take some pics of stuff and i realized... maybe i forgot to clean the freakin Freetime hood. Not maybe, actually- i definitely must've forgotten, cause the Summoner is full of ugly maxis-faced sims and NPC's and the character folder has like...67 or so characters. First i though- oh, well, i'll start a new one. The sims i made, were all made in BS, so it won't take any time to take them out of CAS again.... but then i remembered my house. I've spent a lot, and i mean a lot of time on it. And i really don't wanna loose it. So what do i do? I don't want the Maxians walking around. If i package my house and then reinstall it, would i have to also install the content that is in it? Or can i package it and then when installing, unchek everything, but the lot in Clean Installer. Would the CC show if i do that? And i've heard Maxis recolors don't package with lots, is that true? Sorry for another whiny post, but i really don't know what to do and any help would be appreciated.
Oh, and another question. When you kill a townie, do they still clog the hood, the same as if they were alive? Maybe i can just kill them all with Insim and put the 60+ graves on an empty lot... ALL suggestions and help are appreciated, really.

So, at first i wasn't planning on making custom townies and all, but since everyone else seems to be doing it, i felt like a lazy ass, so i decided to do it, too. I won't be making a custom town however, because even though i have all the empty templates, when i make a new town, the hood folder is automatically filled with a bunch of sim files. So they'll be living in an emptied... Freetime town (don't remember the name of it). If anyone can help with why the hell are my custom towns automatically filled with townies i didn't create, i would be eternally grateful.
Anyways... on to the pics... First up is Viola.

( A ton of semi-huge pics of her+ 3 more sims )Anyways... on to the pics... First up is Viola.

Did you guys see The Plan yet? It adds so much to the story, i loved it. The only thing i hated is that... it ended. Too soon. Damn, i miss you, Battlestar Galactica!!!!!

Other show-related non-questions.... How awesome is V? And Flash Forward? I am so happy those two shows came out. I had a serious lack-of-a-good-TV-show--to-follow depression after BSG and True Blood S2 ended.

By now, most of you probably know that i absolutely love, love, love kitty cats, so this post right here-
inkstaind-stars.livejournal.com/35987.ht ml
made me really sad. In short.... there's a baby cat somewhere in the "Ohio/Kentucky/Indiana area", that needs a home. The winter is almost here and i would hate to think that s/he will spend it outside in the cold. If you would like to help the little kitty and/or want more info, please read the post above.

It's a RR legacy that i' going to be taking part in. It hasn't really started yet, but there are a ton of cute simmies you can snag for now, including the winner of the founder poll, an awesome sim by Alleliua.
Please, excuse the pic spam, i was having too much fun taking and editing pics (again). Anyways....

And if you don't have a Dreamwidth, but you would like one, i still have a couple of codes available, so let me know :) Thanks for helping.

Also, i hope she doesn't mind, but.... you guys, take a look at this AWESOME CC!
needlecream makes tons of amazing skin blends, sims and other random stuffs, so i wanted to advertise her a bit. I know that most of you probably know her LJ, but in case there's someone out there who doesn't, i didn't want you to miss out on her amazingness. Hugs to you, too, needlecream! Thanks for all the pretty things :)
