Hi I'm trishiee and I'm an addict :)

Hi! yes, I'm finally admitting that I have a problem- several in fact.
Here it goes: I am addicted to SIMS 2 (Other addictions include: Coke (Coca-Cola) Ice Tea (Nestea) Reading Novels (Lots of them), Food and many more. That's right, I'm an addict, but this recent addiction is something at has me in its grips... I can't help it! and I'm not ashamed to say, that the moment I wake up, before I put on my make-up... I run to the computer (hoping against miserable hope that I'm the first to get there) on account of the fact that I wake up at around 3 in the afternoon, and if my sister is in school (Velez Nursing) I only have to worry about my brother hogging the blasted comp... (Sigh) However, today victory was mine! even though I woke up at noon I was quite pleased to know that nobody was using the computer ha! I know I sound demented, babbling about some game, but really, it's fun and very addictive.
"Sims" coming from the word Simulation, as in, a simulation of everyday life. You get to control people- in a way you're kind of like God, you get to create a Sim (how they look and you get to dress em' up), pick their aspiration (in their world their lives revolve around a common theme that will determine their happiness and career path, something like that) there are 5 aspirations to choose from: Love, Family, Money, Knowledge, and Popularity.
Right now I'm controlling what used to be a couple Zachary and Jordan Green the dude is into knowledge and the girl is interested in having a family. In an interesting twist of fate, Jordan wanted to have a baby (you sort of gain rewards if you acquire the "wants" or "desires" of your Sim) SO...(through the miracle of computer simulation... or what they call WOoHoo they had a baby. I named her Jarin, (Ok, it doesn't sound like a normal name, but it was the name that popped into my head).
It's fun, Jordan had morning sickness and everything. When Jarin was born, I had to feed her, change diapers, potty train, teach her how to walk, and etc.
She quickly grew into a toddler, then a preschool kid, and now she's a teen. She's dating this guy named Remington (he refused to kiss her on the first date). Right now, Jarin is pretty much like every teenager (she likes to be with Remi a lot, they're going steady) they like to kiss and stuff (but not WoOHoo) hahaha!
It's odd seeing life laid out like that- you're born, become a toddler (learn to walk, talk, and get potty trained), you go on to going to school (studying, meeting friends, getting good/bad grades), become a teen (have pimples, be attracted to guys/girls, you date around etc.), grow up to be an adult (work, meet someone, get engaged, married have kids), grow old and then POOF! the Grim Reaper shows up.
That's life in a nutshell, of course in the world of the Sims there's a twist, you get to stop time and prevent your Sims from aging (there's this elixir that you get them to drink to make them age slower). I didn't want Jordan and Zach to age, so they pretty much look the same when I first made them. I'm allowing Jarin to age though. I'm planning to let her mature into an adult, and start the whole cycle again (except her parents will be immortal) muhaha.
Do I sound like a geek? I sound like Bon (~.~) when he spouts his enthusiastic narration about RF- getting killed, being outnumbered, finding armor and stuff. What does RF mean? beats me, (I never got around to ask) haha! I'm guilty of spacing out when he starts talking about it (sorry dude). I have perfected the nod and smile approach when he talks about things that I genuinely have no idea about- I try to understand, but sometimes it sounds like Quantum Physics to me (I don't even know what that is)- sorry again dude haha!
So there you have it, I'm an addict... Today I played for 10 hours- I think (I didn't take a bath- err I forgot) haha! mucho gross! but I still smell like roses haha!

Gawd is that a collective gasp from the audience? You are actually chanting? Is that an uproar in the crowd? What a chaotic protest, yes, I get it, you're telling me to step away from the computer and douse my head with icy water... Alright, alright... Now, I'm kind of Schizophrenic huh? hearing voices.. tsk...tsk...
Oops... my hygiene meter is turning orange... must run and draw myself a bath...
Au revoir!
