I got tagged for this 9 questions thing. Thanks, jaydesims.
Rules: Tag 9 people you want to get to know better.
Relationship status: I’m currently in a relationship.
Favorite color: All sort of blues, greens and yellows. I’m even warming up to pink now that I’m no longer forced to wear it.
Pets: 2 dogs. 8yo Australian Shepherd and a 4yo Lagotto Romangnolo (that is the fluffy bright white one who managed to almost off himself last year because he just HAD to eat poison…)
Wake up: When I have school usually at 8 o’clock, the rest of the week whenever I have to get up/ wake up.
Dogs or cats: BOTH!
Coke or Pepsi: Neither, I prefer water and sometimes juice mixed with water.
Day or night: Day. I can get more done and it isn’t as creepy (*giant baby*)
Text or call: Text. It’s easier and I don’t like calling – not even my own grandparents.
Chapstick or lipstick: Eh, pretty indifferent. Probably use chapstick more often, but I love lipstick – I just don’t get around to wear it that much.
Um, this has been around for a while, so I’m not really sure who hasn’t done it yet. If you haven’t and want to give it a go, consider yourself tagged!
I got tagged by jaydesims and am very late to the party…

Is anyone still doing this?
Number Six – Finale (Dracula – a musical)
That was almost too easy.
David tried to fight his instincts, but eventually succumbed to them. Centuries of hunger and killing have turned him into a coldblooded, cruel creature who hunts for entertainment and the thrill.
Number Five – Silver Strand (The Corrs)
This one was tricky since there are no actual lyrics in this song. But it always gave off a peaceful vibe to me, and being obviously water-themed, I settled on a nymph.
Miriel is believed to be the forest guardian. No one has seen her in decades, but it is said that she leaves behind a trail of flowers wherever she goes.
Number Four – Ebben? Ne Andro Lontano (La Wally, an opera)
Wilhelmine fled her parents farm to marry whoever she pleases, only to be humilated by her true love. Now, she’s plotting her revenge.
(Jesus Christ, I need some happier songs…)
Number Three – Shampain (Marina and the diamonds)
Being left for a younger maiden, Agnes spends her days and remaining fortune celebrating lavish feasts, drinking and living the day, doing everything to forget the shame.
Number Two – Deniere danse (Indila)
Having lost the love of her life, Alice, daughter of a pennyless nobleman, has recently fallen on hard times. Now a mere maidservant, she struggles to find joy and happiness again.
So, I felt super inspired to try out this challenge by rockethorse, and though I’m not a big fan of music memes, I thought: Heck, why not. My medieval neighborhood (yep, still playing that one) was in need of townies anyway.
And of course the weirdest bunch of songs came up (I really need to clean up my ITunes library. It still has songs in it I haven’t listened to since I was 14…
Number One- Tubthumping (Chumbawamba)
Roger- Thief, Revolutionist and the towns finest drunk.
Younger than the NES, Sega Genesis, and Super NES. Older than Playstation and Nintendo 64.
Juuuuust slighty younger than Pong…by like, a hair.
younger than pong, but older than
the first version of Windows, Windows 1.0
Older than Pong, Older than Windows, Older than Microsoft. IBM hadn’t started making personal computers(1981) when I was born. The first mini computer (PDP) had only just started being marketed when I was born.
Get those cheeks ready to be pinched, and hair to be ruffled you youngsters!
I’m just barely younger than the US release of the NES & just barely older than Windows 1.0
Barely older than the Japanese release of the NES, somewhat younger than the C64 (click it, you know you want to).
I like this way of measuring age.
I’m younger than Atari but older than Nintendo.
Definitly older the GameCube, barely older than the N64.
Rule #1: Always post the rules. Rule #2: Answer the questions from the person who asked, then write 11 new ones. Rule #3: Tag 11 people!
How long have you been part of the simming community?
I signed up for the German “Simforum” in the summer of 2009. That’s six years already!
Do you dabble in the other Sims games or are you strictly Sims 2?
I’ve tried Sims 3 when I got my first laptop. It looked much better… I also ‘dabbled’ in Sims for facebook, but quickly lost interest. Just not the same.
Who was your favourite sim you’ve ever had in your game? Post a picture (if you’ve got one)!
That would be the mom of the girl in my avatar and no, I don’t have a picture of her anymore.
She was a downtownie (Ivy Butler). She fell in love with a much older man, got twins, was widowed early and became a famed author of detective novels. Poor Caroline (girl in my avatar) had an unsteady relationship with the town’s (Aonda’s Village) Casanova, had herself twins and was generably rather miserable, while her brother married Ginger Newson. They had a son.
Have you ever lived in another country?
New Zealand, 2011. Three months as an international student. Loved it. (But was sooo homesick sometimes. I was 15, okay?)
What is your favourite time of year?
Late spring/ early autumn. Love the weather, the light and the colors around.
When was the last time you went on holiday?
A month ago, two weeks in England (one week in Suffolk, one in Norfolk). Visited Cambridge and London. Here, have some holiday pictures to make up for me not seeing this for ages!
My brother really want to visit Speedy’s (huge TV series nerd!) They make great sandwiches!
Where do you want to visit more than anywhere else?
I’d like to visit New Zealand again! (Apparently, it’s some sort of dream vacation destination for people in my country. Well, it has a certain charm!) Or America? Texel, an island in the Netherlands were we always spend our spring vacation… beautiful places where I’ve never been to? I’ve started college right after I finished school, so I didn’t have a gap year for travelling like some of my former classmates. I don’t regret it, but I would have loved travelling.
Do you see yourself playing the sims for the foreseeable future?
Yep. Until I lose interest completly, I’ll always come back.
What kind of computer do you play your game on?
A good one. Desktop. Good graphics. “Selfmade”. Specifically for gaming. The worst component is my harddrive. XD
Do you know anyone in real life that sims?
Yep, a friend of mine casually plays Sims 3, and some others played it when we were younger. Would need to ask them if they still. I don’t really talk about it in real-life.
What’s your dream job?
A job at the theatre, behind the scenes. Director, dramatic advisor, assistant director, you name it.
I’m not sure how old this is and if people still do this, so I won’t tag anyone. If you want to do it, feel free to do it. I’m lazy, use toofasttoofar’s questions. I don’t think they’d mind!
