Revisited my very old Veronaville neighbourhood… poor Eleanor Upsnott got hit especially hard by my constant need to rebuild my bodyshop/ clothing folders…
Nevermind Eleanor. Goneril Capp wins. Just… wow.
Holy cow, Bianca Monty had an affair with Consort Capp?!
They have crazily good chemistry.
I’m kinda digging it. I’m a drama-llama.

Your comment had me snorting out my drink. Nice! (Although I can assume that there are ethical concerns concerning the “fixing” of partners even in the Simworld).

I agree with you. Their relationship just wouldn’t work out. They really are too different (I actually noticed that in-game- they roll completely different wishes). Jan just wants to be successful and meet new people (and woohoo them- she is a Romance sim, after all), while Leo was hellbent on settling down. So, in a way, Kaylynn’s pregnancy was exactly what they needed…

If Jan can’t do it, who can?
littleblondesim said: ooooh, I’d join a name enthusiast fandom!
Great, then we’re already two! Names are just so fascinating, like “Where did they come from?”, “What makes a name popular?” and “Why are people more biased against some names than others?” (Seriously, DO NOT name your child ‘Kevin’ in Germany. I’m sorry for all the Kevins out there, but it has become a tainted name here.)
twofee said: “swim team was weird” thats a large understatement! what was your best/fave event?
Eh, I should elaborate. It wasn’t a competitive swim team, it was actually an organisation that taught you to be a safe swimmer and how to rescue people (that was the fun part!). After training with them for almost ten years before stopping in 2012, I’m actually qualified to work as a lifeguard (well, I would be if I had bothered to renew my license). My favourite part was probably when I was taught how to skin-dive (I actually am a qualified skin-diver, too). I’m also not as crazily fast as actual competitive swimmers, but I’ve got a great stamina and can swim for a long time without getting tired.
I did, however, join the swim team at my school. We never did do competitive swimming, either, but we did a lot of fun stuff like learning how to play water polo. It was fun.
But later that night, after her friends left, thoughts come creeping back to Jan.
“You’ve got this, Jan. You can do this!”
“Screw Leo!”
The three friends settled down in the kitchen to have dinner, and Jan recapped this afternoon’s events:
“I mean, I’m not clairvoyant. He never told me how he felt about it! And now I’m the bad guy although he…
“Darling, no one expects you to be able to read minds. This was his wrong-doing. He screwed it up.”
Jan nodded: “I just don’t know what came over me. I guess we… I just saw her standing there and- how am I able to compete with her! She’s so much younger than me and…”
“Pregnant.”, Komei interrupted.
“Yes.”
“Never knew you wanted children?”
“I don’t. Me as a mother! That would be a tremendously bad idea, not to mention that that ship has sailed a long time ago.”
“Way too much information, Jan!”
“I guess what Komei and I are trying to tell you”, Andrea chirped with a sharp look towards Komei, “is that it isn’t your fault that this played out the way it did. It is okay for you to decide that you don’t want to marry, it is okay for you to decide you don’t want kids. Leo should have told you what he wanted in life and you may have been able to come up with a compromise. But he didn’t, so…”
“Not my fault. Right. Time to focus on the campaign.”
With a smirk, Andrea turned to Komei yet again: “Say, did you take a dip in the pool while Jan and I were preparing dinner or did you just decide that you like running around half naked?”
Luckily, Jan can rely on her friends to cheer her up…
“And you should leave, too!”
“I can’t believe this! What on earth were you thinking?!”
“I was fine with you hooking up with her, although you told me you didn’t want an open relationship, but-but this?! This isn’t okay, Leo!”
Leo exploded: “What? Because it is inconvenient for your campaign? Come on! You don’t really care about me anymore, right? You don’t want to fully commit yourself to me but expect me to function like one of those well-groomed lap dogs: never step out of line, always smile, always be happy! You just don’t care!”
“That’s… that’s not what I…”
“You know what? Get off my property! We’re done!”
Getting to know me/ About me
This meme/thing apparently switched names sometime, but anyway…
I got tagged by @eulaliasims and @thesimtraveler . Thank you!
Nickname(s): It’s near to impossible to create a nickname from my real first name (someone once called me ‘organic waste trash can’ as a term of endearment (it rhymes with my real name in German)- the swim team was weird, man-… I thought about adopting “Thea” as a nickname for the internet. It’s a short form of my (very Catholic) middle name.
Gender: Female
Sign: Aries.
Height: around 161 cm? Dunno, get a new number any time a doctor measures my height.
Time: it’s currently 19:17. Central European Time.
Birthday: I’m a Spring baby.
Favourite Bands: I’m actually more of a “song” type of person…
Favourite Solo Artists: Marina And The Diamonds.
Song stuck in my head: The title song of a really cliche dramedy about a doctor with dwarfism/ microsomia, aptly named “Dr Small”. It’s a trainwreck and my boyfriend and I are surprisingly into it. Even though they killed the gay main character. Because of course they did.
Last movie I watched: That would be that Robin Hood movie with Cary Elwes… “Men in tights” I think?
Last show I watched: some random German trash show. Other than that… Midsomer Murders. Much needed escapism.
When did I create this blog: Hm… probably the summer of 2013? Holy shit, this blog is five years already!
What do I post: Well… Sims stuff. Pictures, mostly. Bit of storytelling when I’m feeling fancy.
What did I last google: Orthopedic practice in [nearby city]. I was actually looking for my orthopedist, but couldn’t remember his name.
Other blogs: aonda-blogs. There is nothing there, though. Nothing.
Do I get asks: Yes. Occasionally. I actually get more direct messages than asks.
Why did I choose this URL: Was already using that name in the German Sims community. It’s a combination of a misheard literary name and my big dog.
Following: 164.
Followers: 633, according to tumblr. Half of them are probably porn-blogs (do they still count if you block them?).
Average hours of sleep: between 6 ½ and 9 hours. My sleep schedule is all kinds of effed up.
Lucky number: 13. I was an edgy kid.
Instrument: Violin. Haven’t played that in years, though. I’m a decent singer, though it took me way to long to realise that I’m NOT a soprano. I’m more of a mezzo-soprano, with the tone colour of more comedic roles like soubrette. But I can’t hit those notes, so…
What am I wearing: A giant plush onesie. Went to the dentist today, got a root canal removal, got bad news (have to go to a specialist because the doctor couldn’t find the last root canal. It just isn’t there…). Went home and decided to sleep through the anaesthesia wearing off. Figured I deserved to wear that onesie after such a shitty day. And I’m rocking it!
Dream job: Being independently wealthy so that I can see work as a form of entertainment/ self-fulfilment (I would never not work, even if I were a billionaire). If that doesn’t work out- teacher is fine with me.
Favourite Food: Spaghetti Bolognese. And lasagna. And spaghetti with the special tomato sauce I love to make. You know what? Let’s just go with noodles. I love noodles.
3 favorite fandoms: Oh, god, a lot of fandoms are a bit too… die-hard for me. Um… Sims, of course. The parts of the Steven Universe fandom that I chose to be involved with seems to be pretty nice, too (I’m a lurker in all fandoms other than Sims). Are name enthusiasts a fandom? XD Phew… the Animal Crossing fandom seems nice, too?
And once again I think I’m late at tagging people… If you read through my ramblings up until this point, consider yourself tagged!
