Schlagwort: non sims

I got tagged by nappeborntoparty.

Eh, for my taste it’s too much on the desktop. I prefer only one row of desktop icons… Yeah, that’s a quirk of mine that can be pretty annoying.

Almost everyone I follow has already done it, and I know that there are people who do not want to participate and I don’t want to put them under pressure, so… If you’re reading this and want to do this, feel free. Oh, and yes, I blacked out my name. I guess some of you already know it, but… you know, not everyone has to know it. (If you want, you can call me Dorothea.)

Something I just can’t get over

moudschegiebchn:

Totally non sims and I’m sorry if I annoy anyone so I’ll hide this probably very long text post under a read more.

Some libraries are for free- usually the ones that are under the churchs’ sponsorship. But still you got a point there, they don’t provide every book and the big ones usually charge a fee. The growing expenses for books are alarming, it’s even worse when there’s only one publisher whose publishing the book- which isn’t normal for books still under the copyright law. And if you need one book for school and it’s on the curriculum, they are free to charge (sure, there is the “Buchpreisbindung”, but they can work around this- company and book store wise. And the “brouchiert” thing is getting worse and worse. Personally, I think the rate at which the books start costing more and more is alarming. Sure, everything is inflation-linked, but it’s happening so damn fast. I was lucky that my parents bought me books when I was younger (I got 1,20€ every week until I was 11), but you’re completly right. It’s just not affordable for everyone…

I just saw that I got tagged by lesyasun!

Name: L. Dorothea

Nickname: I don’t really have a nickname, I usually go by my first first name- though some people call me “Liobär”. ^^

Birthday: 7th April 1996

Gender: I’m female.

Sexuality: I’m straight.

Height: 164 cm/ 5ft 4" (I’m pretty small.)

Time Zone: Middle-European (UTC+01:00)

What time and date is it there: 30th August 2014; 20:58

Average hours of sleep: Usually around 7 hours, right now… 10? ^^

OTPs: I’m not in very many fandoms… Sims-wise, probably Marla Biggs and Tom Freshe right now (Spoilers, shhh)

The last thing I googled was: South Wairarapa District. For something I write right now.

First word that comes to mind: Potato… I don’t know why!

What I last said to a family member: “I’m upstairs.” I live in the attic.

One place that makes me happy and why: Only one? That would be Petone Beach, Lower Hutt, NZ then. I love it and I used to visit it often and now I miss it. It’s beautiful! (others would be my home, my grandparents’ home, my former school, the theater etc…)

How many blankets I sleep under: 1. It’s too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter, but I’m too lazy to buy a thinner/thicker one.

Favorite beverage: ¾ orange juice, ¼ sparkling mineral water. In exactly this constellation not more, not less. I’m a bit special when it comes to food and drinks…

The last movie I watched in the cinema was: Dear God… I haven’t been in the cinema for ages. I guess it was “Schutzengel”. It starred Till Schweiger (I guess he played one of the Nazis in Inglourious Basterd, but I didn’t watch it, so I’m not sure) and I went there with a friend who liked him. It was a so-so movie.

Three things I can’t live without: Family, Friends and my two dogs. My computer and W-Lan come a close fourth.

Something I plan on learning: Hm… Anglistics & Dramatics (why I’m going to college). I also want to learn Italian so I can read many of the old operas etc. in their original language.

A piece of advise to all my followers: Always listen. People have stories to tell. (Something I have problems with. Listen, not telling stories.^^)

You have to listen to THIS song: Hm, I don’t have a song important enough to be capitalised… I do listen a lot to Pompeii by Bastille right now.

I tag: Um… I think didilysims and moudschegiebchn haven’t done this meme already? Otherwise whoever wants to do this!

I’m reading a book where a cornice is mentioned. In german, cornice means “Sims”. I always need some seconds to understand what the author (or in this case translator- anyone knows the Mrs. Murphy mysteries?) is trying to tell me.

Replies!

No need to feel like a stalker! And I just have to say that the amount of work and detail you put into that neighborhood is awesome!

moudschegiebchn said: Yes, that lightning mod is awesone! ♥

It is, isn’t it?

moudschegiebchn said: Yup, fraps only takes a pic of the game and not your desktop. 🙂 I’ll use it myself and play in window mod and everything works fine. : Oh, and there’s some program which alows you to play the game full screen in exact the size your screen acutally is. I don’t know if it’s working, my oldold PC couldn’t handle it. ^^ Maybe you wanna try that?

Hm, the widescreen issue isn’t too bad. As long as the screensaver program is working, I’m happy. 😀 But I might have a look at that programs…

didilysims said: Windowed mode doesn’t fill the screen for me either. I think it’s because screens were smaller when the game came out and not widescreen. If you use Fraps, it should just take a picture of what’s inside the game screen, not the stuff outside.

Oh yes, they were. My parents were talking about this the other night actually! 😀

Really? That’s great! *goesdownloadsfraps*
