I've decided to dedicate my life at present, not to learning a new language or discover my forte but to spend it in front of a computer screen.
It's true. I have sunk from geek to impossible geek who would rather spend time in a world of blocks than have a social life it appears.
And the product of this? I've had the epiphany to build my town block for block. And all from scratch and in the middle of the ocean. Starting with an area of town that has recently been abolished for residential housing. But this is the start of my project:-
I thought this image would sum up my feelings on life.
I couldn't help but add this picture to the blog. Here is my Sim. She is earning little more than 300 simeloens (can't spell that!) a week. She's trying to make it as a rising star. All she owns is what you see and a fridge, cooker and counter. She can't afford to pay the weekly bills. Her cheap sofa was stolen by a burglar and her bin kicked over by a random man. She does Sing-a-grams all day and even interrupts her sleep to cater for the population. She is single, and doesn't even own a pet.
Here she is having made her dinner on an oven she replaced after having a house fire whilst sitting on a blocked toilet.
This is my image of everyone's life just as they're starting out. It starts out rubbish, but hopefully with time you'll find your place in society, lay down the bricks and mortar and build your life to something you can be proud of. And then you can reflect on your low times and smile.
I hope this is true, and I hope I end up doing that!
I have spent no less than 48.8hours on games in the last two weeks.
Yes, you read that correctly.
That's over 2 days. Two solid, non-stop playing of games I've racked up.
I'm not sure what is more sad. The fact that I'm addicted to something that's fantasy or that I had nothing better to do to fill my time up.
My dreams have evolved from the psychotic (based on my reading of psychopaths) to ruling empires. I seem to possess the qualities that all world leaders seem to possess right now. I can't sleep without dreaming that my province is being continuously attacked by my neighbours or that my exports aren't matching my expenses, and did I really build enough houses to remove the shacks from my streets?
In essence my life is completely rotating around the fictional world that is on my laptop. Somehow I need to get out of this spiral and do something new!
However, to spice this post up from the sad, lonely world of being a gamer, to something of laughter, I have popped in a clip from a movie I just watched When In Rome (2010). Despite the stupidity of it I generally found I laughed out loud throughout the movie especially at this...
