The past week was all set in my head to be one where I caught up with all things popo, so naturally that didn't happen. I'm a tad under the weather. Got a regular FUCKING ANNOYING COUGH thanks to a delightful auto-immune thang; add a cold into the mix (or anything that can aggravate it really, I'm hoping for a non-hay fever spring, it's a hit and miss thing with me), and it gets EXTRA FUCKING ANNOYING, and talking, or walking, or breathing, gets painful. So yeah, there's that. Boo to it, boo!
Maybe next week, eh? (cue a FUCKING THUNDERBOLT or something. Never make plans, they just tempt fate to fuck you over)

And it's mostly about the young 'uns, so hey, that's a totally clever headline, I'm the smartest!
So what's going on with the kiddiwinks then? First of all, major admission time: Ginger is, in fact *drumroll please* a ginger! Yeah, you're all shocked, I know. Originally she wasn't going to be, cos I'm a contrary bitch, and thought it'd be funny if she was actually brunette or blonde. Totes sophisticated humour, yo. But she's been morphing over the years, via FRECKLES, into the land of the red. So yep, colour pics ahoy, ginger hair. Not settling on the one face until she's 16 through, so MANY GINGERS INCOMING (caps lock just seems appropriate when talking about Miss Shoutyface) Meanwhile, over in Beckettland, he's got a faceclaim change coming up. The one I've been using seems to have quit the whole modelling lark, and it doesn't feel right appropriating the face of someone who's basically just a regular private person now. So, much trawling through pics on modelling websites later, I think I've decided what one to go for now. Trying to keep the general look not too far from how he currently is - you know how it is when you have a general idea in your head. He kinda needs to get out in the world a bit more too, I guess; though he's kind of a quiet soul, so not too much. And finally for now, I accept no responsibility for any shenanigans Magnificent has been up to for the past week - NOT MY DOING! And anyone saying he's suddenly been much more interesting - I will find you and I will kill you. Possibly. That's your lot, go do something more interesting now! The results are in, the votes have been counted and verified (I had a quick look at the form thingies) and the result is... you all want gossip. SO DO I, MOTHERFUCKERS!!!! Nobody ever tells me any though, it's a tragic state of affairs. The unfortunate fate of being a gossip hound who's too polite to do any actual prying. Le sob sob. (and yeah, I see you cheeky fuckers with your "it's all dull" answers - still reading though, huh? :D) So that's the survey. Gossip, random game stuff, and literally nobody cares about my fascinating real life shit. Bastards :D
Right then, some random observations on the game coming up - introducing a new featured called: It is just me, or And to kick off - is it just me who has a several tier approach to birthday notifications? They go something like this: 1. You interact back regularly and/or we talk - you get a birthday call and cash. 2. You've gone non-VIP (the horror!) - just the cash, cos, you know, no phone. Duh. 3. You haven't interacted back recently - just the call, I'll hoard the cash and count my shiny coins. 4. We've only recently met - good luck on me even noticing there's a birthday. Then there's the question of how much cash to give. Mason/Banj/Jer/Algy go for the full age plus 333, the younger ones for the cheaper options. They don't have enough cash to be flashing it around quite so much. Most of you probably haven't thought about this at all. Most of you are probably sane (that may be the first time I've ever said that about popo players, but I'm being well-behaved today). So it's just me, right? Something else entirely Kinda sorta inspired by the tragic death of Shay, Jackson and that other beardy guy (see what I did there? Yes, it was a stupid pun. Yay me), I think it'd kind of be a nice idea if I, and you lot too, started getting back into writing lyrics again. Way back when I first started playing Popo, there were two characters who excelled on the lyrical front (and worked on some together too, if I remember rightly), and one of those, I discovered YEARS later (I'm super quick on the uptake sometimes) was controlled by our lovely Bread. And it was a bit of a theme with later chars too, including the collaboration part. I know I've kinda drifted away from writing them much these days, and I'm guessing it's the same for a lot of people. So does anyone fancy reviving it a bit? It'd be nice to have something fun and creative back in the game that actually revolves around the music side of things, everyone's so busy (insert coughing fit here) hanging around like a spare part for social stuff instead. So what say you? Yes? And tell your friends! Current Popo status across all chars: a big bucket o' meh. Not really enthused about anything (kinda sorta got some article ideas floating in the old cranium, but that's about it). So if I look bored/lazy etc, it's because I am. Maybe it'll change with a new week, but I have my doubts really.
So there, that's that. Now give me your Taboo thoughts, plz. |
