...and if you know what movie that line is from, I love you already and we need to be best friends forever.
Hiya. I'm Karri. I found you all through the lovely Lyn's "Memoirs of a City Girl" blog.
I've written for quite a long time, in recent years as part of a roleplaying game known as "e-fedding." If you're a fan of profession wrestling (don't laugh) you might know what I'm talking about. E-fedding is a roleplaying game where you create a character who happens to be a professional wrestler. You write stories for them, and promos, and the best work wins. I've done that since 2004 and believe it or not, it's really a great way to develop your writing skills.
I've played the Sims since 2000, starting with ol Bob and Betty Newbie. It's interesting that up until now I hadn't even entertained the notion of putting the two things I enjoy together, but here I am. The stories I've read thus far have been a great inspiration.
I'm from the Chicago area and have been here my entire life with the exception of a five year stint in Boston. I still miss it, but my family is here. I live with my partner of almost nine years and our three year old son. My fella is a great guy and I'm lucky to get to stay home with our son.
Besides my writing and Simming love, I'm an avid reader. I also love music, with my tastes pretty much leaning towards classic rock and grunge I suppose you could say my taste stalled back in 1996. I am an unabashed Game of Thrones fan, both the books and the show. I have every season of Scrubs on DVD and can recite whole scenes. And if you couldn't tell by my screen name, I'm an unapologetic crazy cat lady. Nerner is a female tortoiseshell who rules us with an iron paw.
I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you and hoping you can help me out with this whole story business! Hope I didn't ramble too much!

HAHA I'd say Charlotte's Web but um...that might be so off (just what I thought). Could possibly be Heathers? Yeah...I'm an 80s child. Anyways, hiya Karri! I'm Daijah, Daj, DJ, or even (in remote cases) 'Ey you'. You sound like a load of fun already (so that's a plus!) It'll help a great deal when the wackos fall out of their straightjackets and find themselves staring at your welcome post. I am very happy you've made it to RWN, Lyn is a great author so we won't fault you too much for knowing her. Never been to Chicago or Boston but always wanted to try pizza there since it's said to be the best. I have found a place in Cali that I LOVED as far as pizza goes so who knows? My hubs keeps talking about Game of Thrones but we've yet to start it. (He gets lost with too much happening...I blame the blonde streaks in his hair). Then again he's graying a little on the sides now (he's 29) so I make fun. I think it's my duty to do right? Congratulations on your nine years Haha I had to reread your name to see it Nerner's Human, lol! Cute When you get a chance we'd love to see some of your work! Feel free to post anywhere you'd like once you're comfortable! If you need anything just give a yell

Welcome you here, I do! Hiya human belonging to Nerner! Welcome to RWN! In case you were wondering, yes, I AM one of those straight jacket-escapees Deej was talking about. Jean-Marie is my name and as far as my game... you'll know when you've lost all your hair! We're a handful of writers here (quickest way to the active stories is the thread STORY UPDATE) but we also have a lot of readers and people who are just plain fun. We talk about anything here, no, seriously! We're also a helpful bunch. Ask anyone for help and if we can we'll respond. However for most of the techie stuff, Daijah is your 'Go-To' GUY! Yes, GUY! I said it. It'll be worth the beatup later! I'm gonna go wear my jacket again. I actually feel incomplete without it... I'm sad, I know! ;D

Hello and welcome. I see the wackos are already on the loose. Sorry about that. We have been running low on meds, I think someone is stealing them, so they are a little wilder than normal these days. Any way I'm Jazen, Jaz, Jazzy, Jazz, or Mica (yeah that one doesn't fit LOL) We have a few stories here if you are into reading, sims 2, and 3 and even a sims 1 one. So lots to keep you entertained. Feel free to share with us whatever. We don't bite (hard) and love having newbies around. Jump right in where ever there is a convo going on or not. You can start your own convo if you want. Lots of us here talk to ourselves so it would be nothing new. Anyway welcome and we hope you enjoy your stay.

Daijah-Yep, it's Heathers. That movie got me through high school. And Chicago pizza is the best, although I'm probably a shade biased.
If you can start Game of Thrones, do it! The books are amazing but the show is remarkably well made has some very very delightful man candy. And judging from the stories of yours I've read, you do NOT shy away from man candy, for which I thank you!
aeon-No, she's actually a pretty laid back cat whichMEOWMEOWMEOWMEOWMEOWMEOWMEOW....dammit, Nerner.
Jean-Marie-What's interesting is that my fella is named DJ and I call him Deej. I guess I can't escape it! Wow Daijah is certainly a pretty guy...
Jazen-I am so fangirling over Fiendish right now! I'm loving the idea of Beauty and the Beast meets American Psycho. It literally gives me the chills!
Thank you for the warm welcome!

Haha! Well I wanted to say I do know what E-fedding is and Pro-Wrestling is cool! Nothing to be ashamed of there! So as one Pro-Wrestling fan to another welcome and I guess I should say hello and welcome to Nerner as well!

ha thanks. I'm glad you are enjoying it. If you can make it past the first 8 or so chapters the writing gets less jumpy. I did a lot more switching back and forth on the POV which was confusing. :/ I've tried to make those transitions better now.

Teenage suicide, don't do it! Haha yeah I can say I love that movie too and own it on VHS and DVD. Christian Slater was just too hot /sigh. Still cracks me up to this day and a lot of people have never seen it. But that's ok. It's dark humor, gotta like that kind of stuff and well, I love my dead gay son! And thank you! Man candy is a big draw, definitely checking it out haha. Just one more reason for my husband to shake his head at me but he'll understand Jem has what we call Paranoid Schizophrenia with Borderline Multiple Personality Disorder. It's hard to tell sometimes but you'll see her switch into someone else very shortly. We mostly overload her with pudding but when she starts foaming at the mouth, RUN! I do hear though she has a slight fear of cats so you Nerner may very well come in handy!

I don't remember what the situation was, but I once busted out that line while I was at work. It was in response to whatever the conversation was about, but of course no one but me knew what the hell I was referring to and I had to explain...which just got me some really strange looks.

Hahaha! Awesome! The easiest way to tell if someone is fun is by quoting 80s movies and seeing if they know what you are talking about (maybe that's just me). It does get a lot of strange looks though. Try asking a kid these days what a VHS or cassette tape is and you'd get a head scratching in return! Corn nuts!

Wow, thank you so much for the kind welcome! I feel so very special!
Yes, Heathers is my back to high school film. Fortunately for me, my own teenage angst bullsh*t did NOT have a body count.
Everyone is so talented, I can only hope to compare! As I said, all of my writing has been for roleplaying games, so words, no pictures. However, if you're interested in reading some of them I'm more than happy to share. I'm pretty proud of a lot of it.

Welcome! Heathers is AWESOME! People talk about the Breakfast Club, but the 80's was really all about Heathers! Looking forward to getting to know you (and Nerner, too! If he's anything like my pets, they believe the keyboard is their personal dancefloor!)
