As my 18th birthday rapidly approaches (tomorrow - tuesday), I think over what I've been up to recently. I have an exam this afternoon that I will shortly be having some last minute revision of.

I'm not really getting any presents this year, which sometimes happens. But yeah, life is weird at the moment so I'm trying to keep my spirits up.

I love the Sims 3, it's so strange how obsessed I can get about a little bit of code heh. I even dream as if I'm in the Sims the past few days. I keep dreaming about being in my grandparents house as well.

I'm so fragile at the moment, keeping my face smiling though.

I was thinking of getting myself a Holga for my birthday. I wanted Freaks n Geeks DVD for my birthday, but it's Region 1 DVD :[ so yknow I haven't got that sort of DVD player.

I'll do my little Sims 3 blurt now heh... The first time I played it, it felt like what I felt like the second before I played the first sims. The same feeling, the same wishes, and the majority of them were fulfilled. It's a fantastically recreated game.

There are surprises everywhere and lots of old memories merged into it. I love how the neighbourhood gets on with their own lives, marrying, divorcing, having children... etc. It's so subtle but so clever. There was a family called the Atkins family, who were all very very obese, and I invited them round my house for a campaign fundraiser and they were all stick thin. It was such a shock, just like I hadn't seen my old boss in a while and he had grown old. It's not just about the characters interacting with eachother, it's to do with you interacting and "experiencing" their life.

I love the traits! You can have sims with commitment issues, some that are crazy and talk to themselves, some which are workaholics, some that are absent-minded... daredevils... kleptomaniacs... hot-headed... etc

When I go out with my sims to the town to meet a new friend, I'm confronted with not, LETS MAKE THEM FRIENDS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. I am confronted with, oh they don't have sense of humour... right I'll tell them about my recent promotion... ooh they thanked me...okay I'll ask them about their career... Ooooh they're a few promotions below me... Let's talk about the Office... etcetcetc

Or if you're the mother figure, you walk down the street to the grocer's for your baby's birthday cake, and tell the people on the way about your children and announce that you've got another on the way, then she can stop off at the art gallery on the way home for a few hours... then walking back home the way past the school and catching her kids before they come out and going to the park for a picnic before heading home for the birthday party.

Parties can have like 10-15 people or something (I never counted), which is pretty damn awesome. It really feels like a party. I have lots of work/campaign fundraising parties etc as they helped my man get up in both the careers he started.

My daughter became a fulltime author, trying for £4,000 a week in royalties. My little child daughter is a chess champion, always going to the park for the tournaments. Her aspirations are to be a top Surgeon, so she'll have no trouble in the logic department, but only have to read lots of medical journals to get her research up to scratch.

My other son, is a brave boy and goes out fishing early in the morning till late at night. He has a pet jellyfish in a bowl next to his bed, I called him Squishy. ^^ omg kawaii.

My other sons are twins with red hair, one's a excitable daredevil, and the other is insane and neurotic. They're sooo cute, with their big eyes looking up and giggling and riding their bikes everywhere. I just love it to be frank.

It's the distraction I really needed at this time in my life, as sad as it sounds.

I'm doing okay though, I probably wil lbe accounting sims things in my Tumblr someday soon.

BUY THE SIMS 3 :3 srsly
unless you're a tough man who thinks it's silly, ¬_¬ then you don't deserve to play it *lol*

Happy birthday Jaz for tomorrow xxxx
