The Sims

The Sims Medieval came in the mail the other day and I've been playing all weekend. I do have to admit, I am a Sims addict.

I started playing The Sims 2 when I was around 10. I would visit my neighbor, moreover to play the game than actually play with her. I quickly became addicted and was over her house nearly everyday. When I asked my dad for the game, he said "When you're older", mainly because Sims can have sex in the game, although everything is covered or blurred. When I did get the game, I soon begged my dad for every expansion pack. And I eventually got every expansion pack, save for two. (Open for Business and Bon Voyage, of which I borrowed from a friend.) I still play The Sims 2 every so often, mainly because its compatible on my laptop.

When I was on my way home from the eighth grade trip, my dad called me saying The Sims 3 came in the mail from Amazon. I NEVER STOPPED PLAYING IT. After several computer crashes, I still have the game and still play it. I have every expansion pack so far, because its THAT AWESOME.

On Friday, The Sims Medieval came in the mail.I spent all weekend playing it instead of doing my Biology homework. I'm still working on building my kingdom.

Now it would be pretty cool if the Sims did Victorian/steampunk London. That would be pretty awesome, considering that's one of my favorite time periods. Maybe have a Sim hunting down Jack the Ripper? Or maybe reading up on a certain fictional detective? Just a suggestion.

New Stuff!

As you can see, I updated the template for my blog. The last one was getting old, and I decided to mix things up a bit. I chose to have my background be a bookshelf because I love books more than anything else in the world. Okay, I probably love my friends and family more than books. And my mind. Well, I both love and hate my mind, shut up! No, you shut up! Get out of here! You get out! Both of you! Let the chick blog, 'kay? Fine. Fine.

You may now worry about my mental state. Anyway, what I was saying was that I love my imagination. Because without imagination, humanity wouldn't exist, now would it? If the caveman didn't invent the spear, we would all have died of starvation. I digress.

I will (hopefully) post more often, if school doesn't get in the way. See you later, alligator.

Places I Want To Visit

I was looking at my world map today, (yes, I own a world map) and I was thinking about the places I want to visit. I will post these in order of the place and why I want to go there, and these are in no particular order. Here it goes.

Italy: I'm 1/4 Italian, and I love everything Italian: food,cars, fashion, etc. Also, am I the only one who finds Italian guys pretty hot?

France: I'm a student taking French, and I always wanted to go to Paris. Its such a romantic city, and I like wine. (I know what you're thinking. "Ooooh, she's underage!" I've had red wine before. So shut it.)

United Kingdom of Great Britain: Yes, I used its full name. I've always been a bit of an Anglophile, and I was raised watching British movies and TV. I've always wanted to travel to Britain and see all the history of the country. Also, British accents are pretty attractive. The exception being Liverpool and Cockney.

Ireland: I DO have a valid reason for this one. I am 1/8 Irish, and I always wanted to visit Ireland. Although it rains a lot, its a beautiful country, and I take pride in my Irish heritage. Irish accents are even more attractive.

Slovakia: I am 1/4 Slovak. And I want to know what that accent sounds like.

Australia: Its Australia.

Across the USA: ROAD TRIP!!! (This involves Alaska and Hawaii)

Switzerland: Chocolate, clocks, why not?

Costa Rica: I've always wanted to visit Costa Rica. Maybe its because of the rainforest on those travel commercials.

Bahamas: Its in the Caribbean. And Atlantis Resort. Why not?


So those are the ones I can think of right now. I would have added Japan, but considering the recent earthquakes and tsunami's it wouldn't be a very good idea. Also the Huangshan Mountains in China sound pretty cool.

Life Update

Okay, I just wanted to say that I'm still alive. I'm not suicidal, if you thought I was by my last post, I'm just always either busy or bored out of my mind. Recently, its been busy.
Classes changed, and now I have chorus. YES! But I have geometry. NO! As you may already tell, I hate math. I suck at it, and anything past Pre-Algebra, I nearly failed. So my parents are trying to find a tutor for me. It's no going well. We ended up on a chat site where you can talk to "math tutors" ie. pedophiles. I also found a book called "Geometry for Dummies". I need that book. I know this one guy who could help me in Geometry (he's actually one of my almost-friends) while I could help him in History. But he's always busy, being a fellow chorus student. He's also in the school musical which makes it harder to contact with him.
My dad might be getting a full-time job, which is good. So far, he loves it. He fixes and builds computers and fixes idiots' mistakes. Like this scenario:
"My computer isn't working. The screen isn't lighting up."
"Have you tried turning on?"
"Yeah, it didn't work. The screen won't light up."
"It the monitor plugged in?"
"What's a monitor?"
And stuff like that.
I'm getting a job this summer, probably at Target or the library. Matters who's hiring.
My biology teacher is inarticulate. Every other word has "um..." or "ugh..." in it. So its hard to pay attention.
I'm still setting up my classes for next year, and hopefully I have French III, so my schedule isn't messed up. I'm taking Chemistry, Algebra II, English III, and US History II as my academic courses. Electives are Group Exercise and Fitness II, Women's Ensemble, and Health and Fitness III.
I broke up with my boyfriend. He was kind of a jerk anyway.
And besides that, nothing much has happened since December.
