So I just got an Email from the didactics department telling me that I have passed my exam if I don’t get another email telling me I didn’t.
I get the feeling that our didactics department isn’t very competent.

Exams are over and I only have one more term paper to write. Juchuu!

I was actually looking for that “Aliens.” guy, but when I found that gif, I knew I had to use it!
littleblondesim said: ooooooooooh, yes, now I remember!
I was sifting through my “Middleground” posts a few days ago and only then did I realise that even though my queue usually posts stuff every day, it can take a month before I return to a previously played family (well, posting-wise. I play two rounds straight whenever I feel like it (the joys of being a walking impaired person’s main caretaker- other than going to college and spending the weekend with my boyfriend, I end up spending a lot of time at home…)). Long story, short: I tend to forget that you don’t see things unfold in my game like I do. ^^
Pregnant women. Pregnant women everywhere.
holleyberry said: Oh! They are going to be very busy soon.
Yes, yes they are.
strangetomato said: Any liquid will do. 😛
Any liquid? *shudders*
littleblondesim said: yes!
Very exciting!
taylors-simblr said: I never knew that! But I did know that you can load a household by double clicking it
Oh, I knew about the lot double-clicking ages ago. But the neighbourhood clicking was completely new to me. Although now that I think about it, I could have probably guessed that if it works on lots, it also works on neighbourhoods…
Technically End of the year tag
didilysims said: Congrats on the job/career experience! That’s exciting!
Thank you! It is actually mandatory if you want to ‘master’ in Education and schools are required to take student/intern-teachers as long as they have the capacities (I guess they don’t want to end up with a bunch of teachers who quickly realise that they hate kids or something…) but yeah! I’m going to teach elementary school kids which will probably be very energy draining- but also very exciting.
didilysims said: Wow you held out for a long time! The garbage cans were my favourite part of those too. 😀 Asian Fusion square garbage? *Everywhere.*
They are soooo awesome! The game seriously lacks any kind of trash can variety! (Can’t wait to redecorate half of Middleground with those furniture sets!)

He’s just so desperate to have friends that aren’t related to him, it seems. XD
didilysims said: Sims are very good at proving us silly players wrong. *grabs popcorn*
They really are. Man, this is going to be so messy…
littleblondesim said: I promise I’m not laughing at your misfortune, but this is so hilarious.
moocha-muses said: I can’t believe they’re doing this to you.
I’m having very “good” luck with the sims in this neighbourhood. The only thing I’m remotely responsible for is Ivy becoming a plantsim (since I downloaded a mod that fixes the broken calculator for how many plants a sim must spray before he can become a plantsim) the rest is all the sims acting up and just “luck”. They are just… wow.
littleblondesim said: truer words have never been spoken
I always forget to put sims without a wohoo partner on birth control and it has finally come back to me…
littleblondesim said: so…is she still pregnant?
Yup. I had a backup from after this play session. How “lucky”. XD
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.
I believe the suit Mr. Pao Hogan is wearing would be called a „tailcoat tuxedo“. On a side note, Middleground is incredibly fun to read. I look forward to every post.
“Tailcoat tuxedo”, huh? Sounds fancy. ^^
Thank you, anon. And since it’s so much fun to play, you can expect a lot more.
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
“Can you write him a card or something? You really have a way with words!”
… I literally wished a widow “a nice day” AT HER HUSBAND FUNERAL not too long ago…
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.

And oh boy, are there many…
audreysims14 said: I’ve also found my professors are either quite good at getting back in a timely manner, or even within the hour, or they take days. There is no in between
Yeah, college professors are a weird species… like, I am the college student. I’m supposed to be up until the wee hours of the morning. You are a functioning adult being, why do you email me at 3 in the morning?
didilysims said: He’s on the prowl for newspapers, of course!
The orphanage must have terrible security, though!
didilysims said: Oh no!
I was so shocked when that happened. Thankfully, pet adoption requirements are pretty lax…
moocha-muses said: You need to push harder for the Joe/Komei reconciliation, Brandon! How else are you going to get him out of your place?
But he also likes to keep out of other people’s businesses. And if it gets unbearable, no one would judge him if he’d throw Brandon out.
Brandon and Sandy contemplating marriage
littleblondesim said: elopement?
Not really an option in this small town. The neighbours are really noisy, I heard. XD
holleyberry said: I don’t think they will roll an engagement want with the married there. Have you tried having them go on a date?
holleyberry said: Oh, nevermind 😛
Yeah, I don’t really feel like “unlocking” their wedding wants at this point. Who knows if they’ll ever roll one again, and at this point, them wanting to marry is basically “canon”.
Joe’s and Kaylyn’s… weird date
stellaterrano said: Don’t you hate it when you want a ring but your man just wants to buy a car and a stereo 😂
Typical Fortune-Family dating incompatibility… or really Fortune-any other Sims (why are they so obsessed with buying things on dates?)
eulaliasims said: I don’t know of one that does it autonomously, though I sure would like one too. Maybe you can use Dolphin’s Control This Sim hack to do it manually?
Hm, never tried that one out. Not sure if the effort is worth the result, though. *sigh* A mod like this would be awesome!
holleyberry said: You deserve it Joe.
If only Joe cared about it. No, that is my internal dialogue everytime I see him. I like him, I really do, but if he could stop barging into stranger’s houses, that would be great.
holleyberry said: I hate people who say sorry but don’t say what they are sorry for. That’s important, imo. Even if they both know what he’s sorry for him actually saying it holds more weight.
Baby steps… Joe’s learning. (Also, psssht! That might be a ‘plot point’ in the future…)
