MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS | „FORGET“ OFFICIAL VIDEO

I was tagged by @holleyberry.

Rules: Pick a song that lifts your mood. Pick 10 people. Lift them up. Keep it going (no obligation) Share the music, share the love. 

Marina and the Diamond’s “Forget” is the one song that manages to lift my spirits no matter how I feel, so here’s a link.

Since I’m a bit late as always and I’m really not good at tagging people (and anxious about forgetting someone), I’ll just tag ANYONE who hasn’t done it yet and wants to. Have fun!

Wait, she’s pregnant?

didilysims said: Dun dun dun

Dun, dun, dun indeed!

Paying off those loans… and wohooing

holleyberry said: Congrats you guys! Don’t ruin it by having another baby.

Oh, I think she’s getting too old to have another one.  

Cressida Copur

littleblondesim said: love the name!

Thanks, I’ve had a soft spot for that name ever since I watched Shakespeare’s “Troilus and Cressida”. And the name fit very nicely with both alien and plantsim naming schemes.

Baby Cressida… and Poppy

littleblondesim said: Loving how green and naturey this family is!

Well, they ARE plantsims after all!

Plantsim… behaviour

holleyberry said: It’s like Groot. She can grow that shit whenever she wants.

She probably is… and it’s not like we humans don’t pull out our own hair on occasion.

didilysims said: Eep I never thought of it like that before. D:

I was sitting in front of my PC, looked at Poppy playing that game and suddenly thought “Wait, what is she doing?”.

Jan and Komei’s relation

didilysims said: Sorry if you mentioned this and I forgot…did you make Komei and Jan related at all or is it coincidence they have the same last name? 

Eh, it’s the one thing I think of ret-conning. They are ex-husband and wife. Best friends which decided to get hitched for career reasons. They split up when Komei publicly came out as gay ( I’ve decided that Jan would be his ex-wife when I created this neighbourhood, determined to eventually add her to the mix. Stuck to it when Komei rolled gay (not a good idea in my opinion). Should’ve made them siblings or something.). Jan kept his last name as he was somewhat famous back then.

Jan’s announcement

didilysims said: I really like this–great pictures. You go, Jan!

Thanks! I’ve felt like doing some storytelling again.

The pool

didilysims said: I actually cringed. 😮 Maybe just switching the diving board and ladder would be enough?

Yeah, I might do that. It’s easier (and cheaper) than expanding the pool.

TAG. YOU’RE IT. The rules are to state 5 random facts about yourself. Then go to ten favorite blogs and tell them they are it!

Oh, hi there!

1. I can’t sleep without a nightlight. If I try to sleep without one, I’ll get really antsy and have to check I’m all alone in my room every minute. I don’t believe in ghosts or monsters, but try to tell that my sleep-deprived, imaginative mind at 1 in the morning XD.

2. I’m always stressed out. About getting my degree, about catching the train, about whether I switched off the oven before I left the house, heck, even about what I would do if a plane crashed into our university and stuff like that…

3. I took acting lessons in school and even starred in a play in our local theatre (somewhat big and famous theatre). I stopped acting when my mother got sick and I started college. I kind of want to start again, but don’t know how.

4. I dressed up as Mary Poppins for ‘carnival’ at the school I’m interning at. Turns out, in comparison to the other teachers I was way overdressed. But it was a fun costume and the kids loved it (although most of them didn’t know what ‘a Mary Poppins’ was).

5. I’ve recently started reading on my kindle during my commute again. It really helps me get off my phone (even though, technically, I just switched one display for another).
