Got all your replies and meme-tags and such. I’m currently on vacation and therefore won’t answer all of those until I’m back, but I wanted to shoot you all a quick thank you! You guys are the reason I am motivated to keep this messy tumblr active. XD

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.

Funny how people suddenly rediscover their ‘christian heritage’ when it comes to shops opening on Christmas Eve (all shops are closed on Sundays in my country; some shops got a special permit to open on Christmas Eve, because- let’s face it, otherwise people would complain how they couldn’t shop on Christmas Eve), or churches closing down (because they don’t get enough traffic). Yeah, and somehow, the Muslims are responsible for that (both the shops and the churches… how?).

SOMEONE STOLE OUR F*CKING TRASH CAN?! WHY?!

But joke’s on them: we recycle everything so we got a special trash can that looks like a normal trash can but only holds like 20l. And it’s full of dog shit. Still… WHY?!

I mean, it’s nice that the whole family is so invested in my relationship, but seriously, I’m twenty-one years old and don’t even have a college degree yet. No need to ‘hint’ at me that our study would also make ‘just a perfect nursery’…

didilysims said: I’ve heard that the toddler needs to be able to walk first to escape, but I see it so rarely I can’t say one way or another. I wonder if it’s related to personality–maybe active points?

I don’t know. It’s just so confusing. Andy and Benny definitely hadn’t learned how to walk when they ‘first escaped’. And both of them have six active points- so only slightly above average-…

didilysims said: Yep, Harrises is correct. Just like keeping up with the Joneses. English is weird. 😀

Then again, the German language has compound nouns like “Oberdonaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaftskapitänswitwengesellschaft” (a true classic). I guess every language has its quirks.

holleyberry said: You done fucked up Joe.

Joe has early on presented himself as someone who has… issues. Fucking things up is what he does. Maybe one day he’ll stop? Or he’ll eventually fuck up really bad (if breaking up with your pregnant girlfriend, cheating on your fiance and trying to force your ex-girlfriend into getting custody of your son- whom he has never seen, by the way- isn’t “fuck up really bad”).

holleyberry said: Poor Komei.

It was so heart-breaking. He wouldn’t stop crying for quite some time, I almost regretted breaking them up. But considering Joe just kept flirting with Sandy when left unsupervised (it happened again when I played one of the other residents and he bought some groceries. Went to the grocery- Joe and Sandy flirting. At least Komei didn’t have to witness it this time. You know what’s what annoyed me the most? I put them in “ACR friendzone mode” ages ago.)

didilysims said: “Toddler-Adult-Elder-Dead” ha ha ha! 

It’s true, though. I always hated that they had such shortened life spans. Even with all the benefits added, they still feel… incomplete.

audreysims14 said: The grilled cheese aspiration is cute and a fun quirk, but even as a secondary it really does take over their lives!

I wished other secondary aspirations would interfere with a Sims primary aspiration as much as the Grilled Cheese secondary. Or maybe it’s just the fact that there are only like five wishes the aspiration rolls.
