C-c-c-changes

I'm making changes. Whether I'm making any difference is still to be seen, though.

The first change is that I changed the name of my sim from "Tetrapoli West" to "Lawria".

I began to consider this in the time when it seemed as if I might have nothing to be west of - and when that situation was resolved, it still seeemed like a good idea. I have begun to realise that the name "Tetrapoli" has been used on one GOR book or another, and that some of the more by-the-book Goreans therefore assume that my sim is Gorean. Nothing could be much farther from the truth, and to be honest I have had quite enough of explaining that. This alone is worth the price of a rename. Add a dollop of vanity and a preparation for a possible future "continental drift", and it was a no-brainer to me.

The next change will most likely come in the next few days, as I leave my adopted family to enter an alliance with them instead. I have a sim, they have a sim. They run theirs, I run mine. They have the Moirai Family, I will have Lawria Family. Much simpler for all parts, I think. Or hope, at least...

And my sub? Seems to have been a fundamental misunderstanding there which he was afraid to tell me about in fear of hurting my feelings. Now I have to figure out how to make it absolutely clear that he must never do that to me again...

Back in the blog!

"Last entry 20th June"...

JUNE??? Oh my - so much has happened since then that I don't really know where to begin, much less end!

Well - some of this has been mentioned over at my other blog, which however is generally a less "open" whatsit than this one. But that one also suffers from infrequent updating. Here will be general musings, there will be more personal things.

Good news first: I own a sim, and I own the sim I have loved since I first saw it. Buying that I also saved my adopted family from dissolution, at least temporarily.

More good: I have a wonderful devoted girl living with me. And a wonderful devoted boy too, more about which later.

Less good: My stalker still hasn't given up - but still doesn't realise that it would take a complete personality transplant for me to begin to like him, and if he gets one of those he will no longer be my stalker. Hope he gets one - he may actually turn out to be nice after that...

Not so good: With any change of neighbors comes a change in the neighborhood. I sometimes think my neighbors thought they were getting a meek malleable submissive as a new neighbor - but since they are my family, I can't imagine they could possibly have been that deluded. Personalities sometimes clash, strong personalities clash stronger. Sigh.
