Probably eat all the frozen foods that don't need cooking (ice-cream, bread etc) then curl into a ball and cry.

If it had never been invented, however, I think I'd be a generally happy person.

LOL yes. The portion of sleep that you apparently don't have seems to have been given to me instead

because eight hours just isn't enough!

As for no electricity, I think I'd huddle in a ball and whimper chanting NO INTERNET NO INTERNET NO INTERNET NO INTERNET NO INTERNET NO INTERNET NO INTERNET NO INTERNET NO INTERNET.

ALL WORK AND NO INTERNET MAKES BH A DULL GIRL.

Also this, but at the computer.

And STD is the best story name ever.

Although that being said, I'm not embarrassed by that one, even if it did basically amount to an early, low-tech example of trolling. I still think one line in that story ("His afro was a raging fireball and his flares were aflame," describing a disco zombie on fire) was actually quite witty for a 10-year-old...

That. Is. BRILLIANT!
Please publish the cursed 1970's disco ball story. I need to read it.

I had a wild imagination, but couldn't write to save my life. So, nothing worth publishing.
I did write a story about my doll coming to life when I was about 7/8. It was imaginatively called 'The day when Rosie came to life.' (the doll was called Rosie.)
It involved adventures such as stealing the barbie car and crashing it into the pond, where she made friends with a fish who saved her life. Then she ran herself a bath to clean the pondwater off, but got stuck so had to get the bubble bath bottle to help (if anyone used 'Matey' as a child, they'll understand). I think it ended with her cuddling back up in bed with me, and we waking up wondering why she was so wet.

...That's actually really weird...
Doll coming to life, perfectly acceptable topic for a 7 year old, TWOC and a near death experiance, not.

Totally need to find all my awful childhood stories, spruce them up and use them in my legacy

I like to look through it every once in a while, it chronicles my growth as a writer, lol That, and I had pretty decent ideas, just my writing was juvenile, imagine! Most of it was Fantasy fiction with elves, gryphons and the like. That is still my preferred writing subject. If the electric went out, I would probably read (I own hundreds of books, lots to choose from, lol), write on one of my myriads of stories (yes, I still use pen and paper, I'm old school, :P) and/or play board/card games with my kids. Apples to Apples is a favorite, along with Farkle, Uno, Clue, Monopoly, etc. I am about half way through writing my next Kahekili chapter. If I'm lucky, I may even get it posted this weekend, lol I'm having a blast---really Alder is too much fun to write for. :D

But there's probably still some scope for including them in a sim story as a one-off gag...

And don't worry, near-death experiences are probably far more normal as a topic for 7-year-olds to write about than you'd think. It's always been my view that the popular notion of sweet, innocent children is, was and always has been both incredibly patronizing to kids and completely and utterly wrong. Kids frequently love scary, gruesome things and stories about cartoonish misfortunes occurring. :P

The aforementioned KILL EVERYONE OFF AND REVIVE 'EM WITH A SEQUAL shitfest was about a war breaking our because Sephiroth teamed up with Shinra because I hadn't gotten beyond disc one of the game and aaahhvfshdfgjskghjskghhkjgdjkgd 14 YEAR OLD BH.

My first thought was 'I'd be fine for a while. I'm got full battery on my laptop, phone and tablet, so I could just go online and- OMG! If there's no electric, there's no internet! OMG! NOOOOO!!!' like, literally like that... I actually don't think I could live without the internet. It's so bad, isn't it?

So, this brings up a new off-topic question:
If there was a total blackout, no electric anywhere in the world, what would you do?

Meh, got back from running a cub sleepover 3pm today - we had no internet or phones & they had lots of fun anyway

(ok, we had electric this time, but we don't always at these things)

Fun things to do include building campfires, singing songs, cooking on said fires...

I keep forgetting that Americans use farenheit. 99.8C is 0.2 degrees below boiling. I was very worried.

Ali: Aw, cubs

They're the cute little primary school ones, right? Hope that was fun!
I hadn't thought of going outside in a blackout... Campfires and marshmallows. Yum.

Glad to hear it :3. And Stink is an awesome nickname.

Oh man I forgot about Need for Speed.

tigger89 Field Researcher Join Date: Jun 2009 Posts: 296 Thanks: 1 in 1 Posts 1 Achievements	So I have one more chapter left that I shot all the scenes for, and then I'm going to need to shoot a prom. I need all ya'll's(yes, I can make that contraction possessive, because I say so that's why) help trying to name the theme, because I'm drawing a blank. It takes place on Snowflake Day, but because seasons are years long in my game it doesn't make sense for them to theme it "winter wonderland." That's too general. The best I can come up with is "Snowflake Shindig," but that sounds like something Malcolm Reynolds would call it, and I don't think the internet is ready for that particular cross-over. Any ideas?

Maybe something like that? On other news, Spring has taken up a hazardous pass time since her adult birthday. She loves ranting about death---and Death has his eye on her. Yikes!

Yeah, they're 8 to 10/11, it was great fun although quite tiring!

Unfortunately when I got home & got my game up I discovered that somehow I'd lost my entire legacy family inventory (including lots of photos, nectar, plants, paintings etc)

I think I backed up my save in my previous world so I'm going to have to see if I can rescue them from that...
