My college professor gave me two very important historical persons to compare because they both attended a very important historical event. I just found out that one of those very important historical persons was born 150 years after the very important historical event. Deadline is in three days, so let’s procrastinate until I figure out what to do.

Movie tag

holleyberry said: omg, I love What we do in the Shadows.

It’s so amazing! And it is set in Wellington, which is probably my favourite town on this planet!

moocha-muses said: MIB and Big Hero 6 could both be on my list, honestly

Right? They are just really great and hold a very special place in my heart.

That nameless Love thing

executables-sims said: Loving this already! 😀

Thanks! (Fair warning, though, as a Moonbeam trail challenge, it’s bound to get weird pretty quick…)

Trump term paper

taylors-simblr said: Good luck! Xx

Thanks!

simcatcher said: What you don’t is they’re probably collecting essays like those to give him some direction ;b it’s a trap 

Uh! Although I don’t think my very liberal, German professor works with the American government… although he did work with the Pentagon on one occasion (he’s kind of famous in my country). Hm…

Pregnant Pao and his relationship with Andrea

moocha-muses said: Don’t think you’ll get out of the whole “saddling me with parental responsibilities for two babies” thing that easily!

Oh, should Andrea ever find out what really happened there will be hell to pay!

Why is the Hogan’s house so small?

lilibethsonar said: Extra floor? 🙂

That would be an option. But I suck at building, so…

Chance cards

holleyberry said: Haha! That’s an awesome chance card. No one in this house needs to work anymore.

It is! One of the best chance cards in the whole franchise, especially since it’s such a nonsensical one.

Happy birthday, Middleground!

holleyberry said: Congrats! It’s a fun hood to follow.

It’s fun to play, too. Good for winding down after a long day.

Dormie love

holleyberry said: Cute!

They are sooo adorable! Pictures don’t do them justice.

Meadow gets the boot

Right? She was so much fun to watch!

Some new townies (Part 1 and Part 2)

holleyberry said: Kennedy!

holleyberry said: Goopy!

I kind of missed them! Nice to see some “familiar faces” running around the neighbourhood.

Messing up

holleyberry said: *psst* I think you mean Pao is the gross one…?

holleyberry said: This post didn’t get the Middleground tag.

Whoops! Thanks, I fixed it!

TWINS!

holleyberry said: 2!!!

Yep. This will be fun…

Jan’s house

littlemicrocosims said: i love her house!

Thank you, but I can’t take any credit for it. It came with the neighbourhood (Middleground by plasticbox).

Gosh, I’ve been busy! Sorry, guys!

Rodeburg houses

salamisimmer said: Thank you for this!!

hexagonal-bipyramid said: Thank you for putting your time to build these lots! They are adorable!

You’re welcome! *blushes*

moocha-muses said: Rundown castle turned nightclub? How did I never know how much I wanted that?

If you come to think about it, it’s only a natural progression… XD

Rodeburg Sims

didilysims said: Those *are* impressive cheekbones.

Right, huh? I just pushed those sliders ALL the way!

Athene the dog

davidmont said: Cute

Right?

didilysims said: How dare you spell a name in your own language. 😛 I’ve seen it spelled that way in at least 2 English-written Greek mythology books.

Ha! Yeah, it’s not that clear. I think it depends on how it’s translated from Greek. But “Athena” tends to be more common in English, while “Athene” is more popular in German. Probably due to linguistical differences (”Athene” just works better with how German words flow…)

Hera dies

didilysims said: Aw. 😦

I knew it would happen and still missed it!!!

Tutoring Sims in college

taylors-simblr said: I think it’s an option as soon as your sim is in the year above another sim. I haven’t played uni in years though so dont take my word for it

Ah, good to know! I usually only play with playables, so I never notived this (or had enough homework lying around…)

Pet ghosts

didilysims said: Hee hee, she’s kind of cute in that picture! But every other time, yes, pet ghosts are terrifying.

They are nightmare fuel… (Good to know I’m not the only one who gets weirded out by them!)

Andrea’s chance cards, part XY (seriously, she had quite a lot already!)

holleyberry said: Kaching!×10

XD

I’m a doofus, part 2- Jan edition

javapixels said: I hate when I do that! At least she lived! 😀

It usually never happens to me! I’m just very overworked lately! XD (Thank god she lived! That would have been the worst!)

hexagonal-bipyramid said: Oh happy (belated) birthday! ♪ 😀

didilysims said: Happy late birthday!!

Thank you!

Polly, the parrot

moocha-muses said: I think parrots can actually live to be nearly 100 years old.

Yeah, but Joe isn’t a big fan on Polly (she shows him clearly that she doesn’t like him). That and parrots in the Sims are very prone to starving. I’m amazed I was able to keep her alive that long…

didilysims said: Brittany’s so great. 😀

She is AMAZING. She is very sassy in-game and takes no bullshit from anyone.

Matthew’s nose

didilysims said: Definitely the weirdest premade nose. It’s like it got stuck on a clothesline.

It wouldn’t look so bad if the lower half of his nostrils were actually attached to his nose… he could be so handsome!

House facelift

didilysims said: Oh sure the house gets a facelift but the deadly diving board stays as it is. Your priorities are questionable, aonda! 😀

Hey, I didn’t build that! And where am I supposed to put the garden furniture if I expand the pool by one tile?! XD

(makes mental note to switch the pool ladder and diving board to put an end on this MADNESS!)

About Joe and Komei

moocha-muses said: Komei, there’s *got* to be other cute guys in this town.

There aren’t. There are 12 adult Sims in this neighbourhood and he’s the only gay male. Joe’s the only bisexual male. Half of the females are bi, somehow.

eulaliasims said: Watching sims make bad life choices is one of the most entertaining parts of the game, tbh.

It is. I’m kinda excited about what will happen, but if Joe fucks up once more, I might throw him into the ocean…

holleyberry said: >:{

holleyberry said: Ugh!

Kinda same, tbh. On the other hand, very excited for drama.

Jan/ Leo break up

moocha-muses said: Maybe Jan should have just gotten him fixed. 

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).

littleblondesim said: Go Jan!

littleblondesim said: I adore your version of her and only want the best for her and I just don’t think Leo is going to give her that.

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…

Lonely Jan/ Peptalk

littleblondesim said: i believe in you bby

If Jan can’t do it, who can?

Getting to know me

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.

Long overdue replies

Joe, the idiot emotionally stumped sim

holleyberry said: You are a tool Joe.

Yeah he is. (I think, at this point, not even Joe himself would try to dispute that claim…)

moocha-muses said: There’s a difference between “emotionally stumped” and Romance Sim, Joe.

There definitely is. Putting the fact that Brandon has always had very healthy relationships and definitely isn’t emotionally stumped aside…

Pet breeds

hunnybunnysims said: It’s like they just barely tried. Jussstttt barelllyyy

plath-sims reblogged this from aondaneedles and added:

It has always been concerning. I deleted all of them lol.

Barely… I mean, that plush pug was like 8€. Can’t imagine a lot of designing effort went into that.

Yeah, might want to download some CC pet breeds. Had corgis once, they looked pretty nice.

It’s Poppy!

didilysims said: Poppy seems like a very sassy child. 😀 

She is. She is veeeery chatty and always ends up doing rather weird stuff/ reacts in interesting ways. She’s great.

Heated pools

littleblondesim said: sims are so spoiled that they all get heated pools

I love little details like this. The pools look so awesome in winter. Must resist the urge to build a pool in everyone’s backyard.

Jan and Leo

littleblondesim said: Does she know about the nooboo?

Well, now she knows! XD

Jan and Kaylynn

littleblondesim said: oh dear

This is going to end badly…

Messy, messy replies

I’ve got a lot of them, so let’s go!

eulaliasims said: Ha, I’m the primary gift wrapper too. If you put enough tape on something, no one will ever notice you tore the paper~ 😛 

Hah! That’s exactly my strategy! Unfortunately, this year, we had wrapping paper with very intricate designs, so trying to hide those “bald spots” became a real challenge.

moocha-muses said: When I have weddings outside I just lock all the main doors and set up a temp outdoor restroom. It’s the only way to make sure any guest actually sit down in time.

… that would work so much better than what I’ve been doing. During my weddings, half of the guests usually miss the ceremony because they’re queuing for the toilet…

moocha-muses said: In English it’s a “tuxedo with tails”. They make a dashing couple!

Ahhh! Thanks to you and the anon, I now know what it’s called at least in English. Let’s hope that if I’m ever invited to a black-tie event, it won’t be held in my mother tongue. XD And they do. They’re an odd couple, that’s for sure, but also a dashing one.

littleblondesim said: Jan is just the cutest

She is. She’s quickly become a favourite of mine. Makes adorable faces, too.

littleblondesim said: whaaaaaat

moocha-muses said: Wow, that “proposal” refusal must have really gotten to him.

I was shocked. Not mad, but shocked.

didilysims said: It was a hot day. She appreciates the shade.

XD Probably.

5 Things Meme

I was tagged by @holleyberry . Thank you!

5 things you’ll find in my bag:

A huge wallet (style over functionality in that case- still love it to bits)

Tissues

A marble (?) ( I don’t know how that got in there- I don’t even own marbles.)

A grocery store receipt from October. Bought some orange juice and minced meat. Nothing else.

Another grocery store receipt. This one’s from August. Really need to clean out my purse more often.

5 things you’ll find in my room:

The handmade, bright green-blue-pink quilt my mother made me some years ago. Love it to bits, even though she’s now kind of ashamed of it (she’s gotten so much better over the last three years, it’s amazing).

Way too many empty water bottles. I’m lazy. And I drink a lot.

A dirty pile of clothes the big dog usually sleeps on.

Lots and lots of gifts. Spent two hours today gift wrapping. I’m the primary gift wrapper this year (but I’m not very good at it).

“Buckingham Corgi”– bought him at the Buckingham Palace gift shop two years ago. He’s sitting in the forest of empty water bottles, judging me…

5 things that make me happy:

My dogs

My boyfriend

Working headphones– it’s really hard to find a working pair in this household

Christmas!

My upcoming vacation with my family and boyfriend- even though I could throttle my family right now- the joys of Christmas preparations ^^

5 things I’m currently into:

Christmas! I’m all about that holiday, preparing food, decorations and gifts!

Animal Crossing New Leaf– yup, still addicted

Learning about midwives and the process of giving birth- this one needs some explaining so I don’t look like a serial killer! I’ve always been interested in the topic, but never considered becoming one (I’m extremely squeamish). My oldest friend- who is currently in training to become one- has given me some literature on the topic. It’s so interesting (even though I’m surer than ever that I don’t want to be one)!

Makeup– after feeling like shit for the entirety of the semester (health issues), I’ve recently started to do makeup again. It’s fun!

I’m still pretty into names. Blame it on the historian inside of me, but there’s something about learning about names and the history behind them that’s really speaking to me. Too bad I won’t be able to write my bachelor’s thesis about that…

5 things on my to-do list:

Clean the entire house

Prepare my 3+ college presentations and learn for the exams

Pack for my vacation

Watch Parks and Recreation Season 7

Relax!

Somehow this turned into a freaking novel. Sorry about that! As always, I’m gonna tag people out of my activity page… @davidmont@cindysimblr@moocha-muses@eulaliasims and @wickedjr89 . No pressure, though.
