👻 Questions

Are you a Tricker or a Treater: A treater. I enjoy giving out candy to all the kids on Halloween (It’s gaining popularity over here)- well as long as I don’t have to babysit them afterwards.

What’s your inner demon: that thing where I’m leaving the house, walking to the train and try to remember if I locked the door before leaving, and the next thing I know is that I’m stressing out because I imagine me having to save my dog from the train tracks while a trains approaching (we live really close to the train tracks). Dunno how it’s called, but, yeah… Sorry for being depressing.

What monster would you be: I have a soft spot for Frankenstein’s Bride or any creature closely related to it. Also, vampires? Or witches? They have a pretty cool ‘skill set’.

How would you be in a horror movie: I would be locking myself in a safe room (a legit one, not a ‘surprise, I can enter and stab you’ one) and wait until everything’s over. Or grab a weapon (just in case) and flee. But I don’t want to look too threatening, I might get shot or sth because they think I’m the killer. I’m more of a quiet kind of girl, I think I’d have pretty good chances surviving.

Are you easily scared: Oh my god, yes. I get scared just reading freaking buzzfeed articles!

What are you afraid of: EVERYTHING. My most random fear is the fear of fish. Not sharks, not freaky sea creatures, simple, little fishies. I don’t want them anywhere near me, dead or alive doesn’t matter.

Nurture or Torture: Um… what? Nurture? I don’t usually go around and torture people.

What scared you when you were young: Again, fishes. They were one of the first things I developed a fear of. And our old cat. She was reaaally old and didn’t put up with toddler shenanigans (and I was an annoying toddler), so I ended up with a scratch mark or two. Also, the darkness. Still not a big fan of that one.

Any near death experience: We were driving down a road on Texel (our usual vacation spot, lovely little island) when a log fell off the truck in front of us. Thankfully, it was so windy and the wind pushed the log down to our bumper, otherwise it would have gone straight through the windshield. Asshole fled the scene. Thankfully he was pretty stupid and forgot that he had the telephone number of the company he worked for written in big, bold letters on the side of his truck. We called the cops and the company (company owner and cop tturned out to be close friends), got a free repair at the company’s workshop, a hot chocolate and got to see the driver getting fired. All in all, it was shocking, but okay?

Walk in mysterious liquid or mysterious Forest: Forest. A forest is less likely to kill me on contact.

What is the worst thing possible: So much. Failure, death of loved ones etc.

You go with your heart or brain: A mix. 

You like your room dim or bright: Dim is fine. Unless it’s night time. Then I prefer a slightly illuminated room. So I can see the monsters that are creeping up on me.

Who would kill you, your mum or dad: My Dad. By accident. He’s a really bad driver.

Evilest thing you ever done: I’ve stolen stuff in elementary school by accident and still loose sleep about it to this day… 

What did you dress up as last year: Noting. I helped my boyfriend scare his sister’s guests (at their request). The year before that, I went as Harley Quinn, because I had that one still in my closet.

Anything bad happened to you lately: College started last week and I’m already stressed out because I’m taking ten courses…

What is your favorite candy or snack: There are these little gummy piglets my Dutch teacher handed out for movie day. They were nice and they are now sold here in Germany. So yummy. 

What Villain would you date: Idk, Hades?

What is your biggest flaw: Being too nice? No, really. Can’t say no.

Favorite scary movie/game: I don’t really watch scary movies/ play scary games, sorry.

What do you find sick: The usual stuff.

Are you a demon or an angel: A human with faults. Although demon sounds like fun. ^^

Random thing about you: I’m afraid of a lot of things concerning transport, but I’m not afraid of flying. I have a weird obsession with reading about plane crashes, so I know a lot about how these happen and feel pretty safe boarding a plane.

Shuffle Meme

 Thanks for the tag, thesimtraveler.

1. Away in a Manger– Bing Crosby

Look who forgot to remove their Christmas playlist from their IPod…

2. Primadonna– Marina and The Diamonds

I’m actually more of a song rather than artist type of girl. Not with Marina and The Diamonds. Heard “I am not a robot” on our local radio station eight years ago and have been a fan ever since.

3. The Outsider– Marina and The Diamonds

See? (Also, she’s weirdly well-known in my country.)

4. Basket Case– Green Day

When I was still an ‘emo/goth/whatever kid’, my friends introduced me to Green Day. Lost the style, kept my taste in music (and the friends).

5. Der Teufel– Schandmaul

Yeah, good luck trying to decipher what’s going on here… I really like a lot of genres as long as I long as the song ‘captures’ my attention, I don’t care whether it’s Pop, “Deutschrock” or Bluegrass.

6. Fairytale- Alexander Rybak

European people love their Eurovision Song Contest *shrug*

7. Tune it Up #1– RENT

More rhythmic talking than singing, but hey. Since I studied Theatre Studies with emphasis on Musical Theatre for two years, my Musical/Opera playlist is pretty extensive. RENT is one of my favourite musicals for many reasons. Too many to list.

8. Santa Barbara Skies– Psych- The Musical

I’m a Psych-O.

9. Vincent – Don McLean

I originally downloaded it for my mother to be able to listen to it on long car journeys (back in… 2011?) but since have grown incredibly fond of his music. I don’t know what it is, but it really speaks to me.

10. Tanz der Vampire( Finale)– Tanz der Vampire (Dance of the Vampires)

Ha! Way to go out with a bang! Another one of my favourite musicals and the German version is actually the original one, so you can actually listen to it without cringing (ask me about the German translation of RENT, I dare you. Wrote an essay about that one once).

Also, it’s funny how your opinion of it depends on whether you watched the American Version of it (the ‘improved’ Broadway version- one of the most expensive flops of all time, and rightfully so *shudders*) or the European one.

I tag @audreysims , @squeezleprime , @cindysimblr and @littleblondesim , simply because they are the last 4 people that liked some of my posts and I’m lazy like that. Don’t feel pressured to, though.

When you get this, reply with 5 things that make you happy, then send it to the last 10 people you have notes from in your activity ❤

Hi! Thank you!

1. Sleep. I’m currently really sleep deprived (for reasons unknown to me- I aim for 7-9 hours daily but spend a lot of time awake- tossing and turning- instead), so being able to get some quality sleep makes me happy.

2. My family. They can be a handful at times (and noisy and annoying), but I do love them. Which is great, because I’ll be stuck with them for at least 3 more years.

3. Autumn. I can barely wait. Autumn is the season of celebration and family traditions in my family (a lot of birthdays, saint’s days and other family get-togethers are in Autumn), and since I’m very family oriented, it’s just a great time for me overall.

4. The “vorlesungsfreie Zeit”. I get roughly 3 months of vacation from my school every Summer, and I really enjoy all the free time I’ve suddenly got on my hand. I can spend a lot of time with my boyfriend- which is nice because he works shifts and the flexibility makes it easier to spend some time together, I can relax and recharge after a very stressful semester and I have enough time and energy to do the things I love.

5. My dogs. The big one just snuck up on me and put his head on my knee. I know he’s probably just hungry, but I like to pretend he does that because he loves me. ^^

10 questions

I got tagged by eulaliasims. Thanks!

1. If you like to decorate in the Sims, what’s your favorite type of room to do? If you don’t, how do you handle decorating instead? Bare minimum? Downloading furnished lots?

Oh god, I’m terrible at decorating. I mean, I can make it look tolerable, but I’ll never be the queen of clutter or sth like that. So yeah, I’m always happy when I find decorated/partially furnished (I’m very particular about the amount of CC in my game- I prefer maxis-addons to everything else) lots, so I have at least some guidelines on what to do. I think I got better over the last few month- thanks to the quartertile cheat (how could I play this game for so long without knowing about it!).

2. Do you like to listen to anything like music or podcasts when you play?

I usually have my television running in the background. German TV offers plenty of trash to listen to while simming.

3. What made you choose your first expansion pack for the game (or games, if you play more than one iteration of the Sims)?

Ehm… I ‘borrowed’ the base game from a friend- long story- and had to get one expansion pack so I could play the game on my PC (she understandably wanted it back at some point). I think I chose Nightlife because… vampires? Downtown? It was probably the only expansion pack available at the department store. I loved it and played the game for 1 year on our old crappy family PC with just the base game plus Nightlife installed. Couple that with the fact that I didn’t know about CC back then and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen enough NL clothes for a lifetime.

4.  What’s your favorite kind of weather?

Cloudy (but not so cloudy that you can’t see the sky) with lots of indirect sunlight and a light breeze. Around 22°C/71°F. 

5. What’s the first ever music album you remember buying?

That I personally bought or that someone got for me? A ‘Tokio Hotel’ cd (2005) if you meant the latter (they were really popular back then and my cool American friend was a huge fan, thereby little primary school me was, too), and if you mean the first album I ever bought,.. um, ITunes says that it was ‘The Lion King- Original Broadway Cast’ in 2013 (holy shit!). I’m more of a single person (that would be some Black Eyed Peas song back when I got my first IPod in 2009).

6. Do you prefer default townies, custom townies, or no townies at all? (Or maybe default and custom?)

Depends. If I were to play a pre-made neighbourhood, I’d prefer the townies shipped with it (or the flattened version- only the relevant ones). If I play a small self-made hood, no townies at all, and if I feel funny, I’ll just play the townies XD.

7. Why is your favorite book your favorite?

Uff… I’d call this one my all time favorite book. It’s got everything: A ‘murder mystery’, a huge family secret (I’m a sucker for that), family trees (!), a charismatic protagonist and just the right amount of fantasy. Runner up: that one, for nostalgia and the ‘lore’.

8. What’s the latest song/jingle to get stuck in your head?

‘Halleluja’ in its various iterations. My father got a karaoke app and sent his recording to me… thankfully, I’ve got the Cohen version stuck in my head. Also, ‘Hellfire’ from the ‘Hunchback of Notre Dame’. One of the most underrated villain songs. They are currently battling each other in my head, trying to get the upper hand.

9. What object (CC or not) do you use the most in your game?

Hm… that’s a tough one. You know what? It’s that lamp. That f*cking lamp. You know which one. That one that’s just… a lamp. Probably shipped with the basegame. Not fancy, not kitschy, cheap enough to staff every room with it. It’s probably that one.

10. How do you pick names for your sims?

I’m a name freak (go on, ask my about 16. century naming traditions in Northern Germany!), so, most of the time I already have a name stuck in my head when the Sim has his/her baby. Other times, I make one up on the spot. In certain situations (when I want a theme, or it is a premade family, or there are already a lot of siblings and I run out of ideas) I’ll use a name generator (they are pretty nifty. There are some that let you type in the siblings’ names and give you matching ones! It’s heaven to me!).

Thank you again, I had a blast. Since my internet connection crashed three times while I answered this (I’m literally living in a metropolis, why is my internet so shitty?!), I won’t tag anyone and won’t think up new questions (sorry). So it’s kind of open-house: if you feel like doing this “10 questions tag”, do it, just use eulaliasims’ questions or other ones you saw on the internet! Have fun!

Let’s hope I’ll be able to post this!

List 5 facts about your most favourite sim and send this to 10 simblrs whose sims you adore! ♥

Oh gosh! Thank you!

Hmm… whom do I pick?

You know what, since I’ve recently rediscovered my old Viper Canyon save, I’ll take one of them for nostalgia’s sake.

image

Jodie Larson, whom I’ve only ever played in Viper Canyon (although she is one of my favourite pre-made Sims… hm…). She makes a formidable villain. (Sorry for that grainy pic, back then I took pictures with the in-game camera)

1. Jodie Lawson was a big fan of “K.I.M.” (the Kims’ sci-fi series) back when it aired. She’s been obsessed with Robert Kim ever since she watched that show.

2. She doesn’t mind being called a “gold-digger”. Yes, she was looking for a rich husband. Yes, she did everything she could to ensure her plan would work. Added bonus that her “prey” was her big obsession?

3. Jodie has often used Jason for her goals. He made a good pawn and was naive enough not to notice- well until he noticed that she was using him after she encouraged his affair with Cynthia Kim only to turn around and marry Robert Kim after he broke up with Cynthia. He cut ties after that.

4. Deep down inside, Jodie loves her brother, though. He is the only family she has left and they are pretty close. Sometimes she regrets that they lost contact after he figured out that she was using him. But there’s no turning back now, or is it?

5. Jodie hasn’t forgotten her dream of her own business but has never pursued it because she feared failure. What if she will prove incapable of managing a store? What if the store isn’t successful? What if she’ll be unable to pay the bills? She has never failed before.

(6. Bonus fact: she may be a ‘villain’ but that doesn’t mean she cannot be a loveable dork at times. And have her regrets about what she has done.)

Thank you! It was fun rediscovering an almost forgotten Sim!

Third Sixth time’s the charm?

thesimtraveler tagged me in this awesome meme: List 5 facts about your most favourite sim of yours, and send this to 10 simblrs whose sims you adore

Hm… I tend to switch neighbourhoods and Sims quite a lot, so this is kind of hard because I have so many favourites. But hey, I managed to choose one. No one you have seen very often, but hey!

This is Emmeline “The Knight’s daughter” from my medieval neighbourhood.

1. Emmeline was raised by her father and her stepmother after her mother died in childbirth. She is close with both, although she and her stepmother are more like sisters than mother and daughter.

2. Emmeline was never part of this whole power-spiel of the rest of the noble families in her home kingdom. Her father just wants to keep out of trouble, and so does she… well, she did.

3. Emmeline’s father is the one who is responsible for hosting high-ranking prisoners of war. Emmeline fell for one of them. Too bad he was some sort of prince or something and was married to one the princesses shortly thereafter.

4. Emmeline recently gave birth to twin girls, Otilia and Emery. Out of wedlock, worst of all. She practically invisible in the eyes of the court now. Her father, who wasn’t very happy about her falling for the prisoner, still supports her, though.

5. Emmeline, like her mother, is a witch. A powerful one, too. Scorned by almost everyone, she plans her revenge. 

So… yeah. I’m not going to tag anyone as literally anyone on my dash already did this, I think.
