Explanation

I want to thank everyone who keeps checking back here.  I do apologize for not updating regularly.  As many of my long-time readers know, I am constantly plagued with errors and crashes.  As the game advances and expands, my errors and crashes are getting worse.  I don’t have enough memory to run the game.  Right now it is lucky if I can get one good save or play for an hour without crashing. 

Of course this makes playing difficult.  I dread it.  Which is not how I want it to be.  I also miss playing and writing terribly.  I finally gave in and asked my husband to let me buy memory upgrades.  We could have used the money for other things like going to the Seattle Comi-con, which he really wanted to go to.  But he let me buy the memory, so I should be able to start updating soon.

I have the next update written already, I just need to get pictures.  I also have a solid outline and a pretty decent plan that I’m excited to put into action.  I doubt it will survive as I have envisioned it, but if it comes close, I think this generation will be worth the wait.

A hint of what’s to come: Expose blogging, ballet poses, a mystery to be solved, a man that’s too good to be true, and a lost child.

Hopefully you’ll stick with me!

Sasha Fields, Private Investigator: Prologue

As a child, I had a pretty vivid imagination.  I liked to pretend many things.  I played princess a lot or dressed up as an astronaut and imagined that my room was a strange alien planet that I was seeing for the first time.  And I especially loved to play in the bathtub, imagining I was a mermaid or pretending that I was a submarine captain in the midst of battle.

GC Fields, Fireman: Epilogue

My relationship with Jake progressed slowly.  We met up after work a lot at first.  We didn’t call these dates, but that’s what they were.

2011 in review

What I find funny about this summary this year is that no porno searches show up on my search summary like many other people’s blogs.  But I want to thank everyone for supporting me and reading my story.  I do appreciate you all.

Happy New Year!

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 40,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 15 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

GC Fields, Fireman: Chapter 9

I watched Alex fly into the arms of another man, his ex-boyfriend.  Rene.  The French bastard.

Ok, so I didn’t know Rene at all, but he had to be a bastard otherwise why would he have let Alex go?

GC Fields, Fireman: Chapter 8

“Will you marry me, GC?”

Those were the last words I expected to ever hear from Becky.  When I said I’d do anything to fix what I had done to our friendship, I didn’t know that she would demand so much.

“You want to marry me?  But I don’t love you.  I mean, I do, but like a sister,” I sputtered, incredulously.

“A sister.  You have a really messed up way of showing affection to a ‘sister!”

“You know what I mean,”  I said.  “Why do you want to marry me anyway?  Don’t you hate my guts?  You won’t even accept my apology.”

“Excuse me for feeling less than sisterly toward you,”  Becky sneered at me.  “I don’t really want to marry you anyway, but I thought you might want the option.”

I looked at her like she was crazy.  Then she dropped another bomb on me.  “I’m pregnant, GC.”

GC Fields, Fireman: Chapter 7

I got completely wasted at the Hole after Alex left.  I called the server over to my table and told him to keep the drinks coming.  I gave him my credit card and told him to leave the tab open.  The boy, who looked barely old enough to serve drinks there, took the card and brought the drinks.

At first he was quiet, just setting one in front of me and taking my empty away, but then he started talking at me.

“Are you sure you want another one?  I can bring you a coffee or something.”

“Shjust get an’ther a th’green onesh.”

When he gave me the drink, he said, “Hey, I don’t know why you’re determined to give yourself alcohol poisoning, but maybe you should slow down.”

I pounded the drink, glaring at him as it slid down my throat like fire.  “’Nother.”
