Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hmm, that's no good. I'll keep that name in mind as one not to choose from.

My brother's computers are both fixed and working now. He's kind enough to share. Lol.

Well, I CAN open my mouth and attempt to sing and sounds come out. They're just...really awful. xd

I don't hate it. I don't really like it though either. I don't know what elevator music is like where you come from but over here, it's pretty bad.

Wow, ten different essays all at once?! eek Just - do your best. That's all I can say. I'd do the same 'cause then at least I could say that I tried.

My experience after leaving school was that things got better (but I wanted to leave) and I had some amount of freedom after all the *everything* I found that I didn't have to leap right into a job straight away. I went and chose some different courses to study and kept myself busy trying out new things here and there; hobbies, art group, child minding, house cleaning with my mum for a while...and having some fun as well. I found out that you don't automatically become a 'grown up' when you graduate either. ^_^ Which you probably already know, of course! (I thought that's what was going to happen to me and that I'd get hit with all these responsibilities but...it wasn't as bad as I thought.)

Er...I guess what I'm trying to say is; from my experience it's not a bad thing; just a new chapter of your life with new experiences and new, unexplored territories! 3nodding Some bad and some good and some in between.

Paying bills...I think everyone doesn't like that. Lol.

Mm...the ones I'd really miss if I had to move are my family members. I'd like to explore the world a bit more though.

Oh...sorry. I'll try and write less lengthy replies. Ehehe. I have a way of going 'blah blah blah' (ad infinitum) when I'm on here. xd

Wow, two entire months just to come over?! It makes you wonder whether they have to catch a plane there. Lol. That is pretty bad.

Actually...he's my younger brother, by about two years. .^_^. I'm the eldest sibling in my family, though you wouldn't know it. I'm also the least outgoing. Except for on here.

mrgreen For you perhaps. I don't mind not being able to sing when I can enjoy listening to other people's singing though.

Hm...well, we have 'elevator music' in our cinemas, if that makes any sense. It's like the music on The Sims (the first game) ...but a little bit worse.

Congratulations on getting your first job. I spotted the post in the GMFC thread. I hope it goes well for you and wish the best of luck. Or at least a good experience...

Hmm...well, it's just been me, mum, brother and sister for years. So I'm used to the closeness that we have.

Oh well that's good to know. ^///^; I know I can blather on...

That is interesting. I like certain songs, melodies, movies, memories etc…but sort of in rotation, like an iTunes list on shuffle.

Well, I like some of it, but not all of it. My friend and I thought that one of the songs on the Sims Vacation expansion sounded like they were singing about buying pineapples but it was of course, in Simlish. I love the Sims 2 and have bought a few of the expansions for it. I like making houses, stories and characters on there. ^_^

Perhaps you mean ‘I am’ instead of ‘I are’? Forgive me if I appear to be giving two cents where it’s not wanted, I usually try to gently correct others when I see spelling or grammar mistakes, to help out. I’ll cease if you don’t want me to.

Mmhm, I’d like that too. ^__^ if I ever have a family someday, it would be nice if they had that comfort and companionship that makes a place feel like ‘home’.

I do that as well. It’s pretty hilarious sometimes. XD I’ve played the game so much I even picked up some of the words and catch myself saying them occasionally. Lol.

Ohhh, Sims 3! biggrin I haven’t bought that one yet but I’m wavering over whether I want to or not. I’m a bit of a control freak when it comes to my Sims, so letting them run off and do their own thing all over town would have me spazzing out. My friend did tell me you can switch that function off though…

I love Sims! I own Sims, Sims Hot Date and a few other eps for the first game but mostly my favourite is Sims 2.

I made a house that looks like a forest hut. =^.^= With renovations added…such as plumbing and electricity. Lol.

I make all kinds of characters but there is usually always one or two crazy/quirky ones thrown in there. XD My sis and I have the best fun playing it together. We once made up a story about a completely bizarre legacy family with a grandpa who kept losing his false teeth everywhere: (in meals he cooked for the family, in the toilet, on the barbeque…etc)

Oh, to make stories, you take pictures of your sims in game then you go to the picture manager and you can arrange the photos how you like and write underneath them. In this way you can make a story about your sims, their homes, their lives etc.) If you really want to, you can upload the story to the Sims 2 website once you’ve written it so other people can read your creations. You can also upload lots, sims, and familes to the exchange on the website for others to download.

It’s super fun! My stories are usually completely ridiculous so I don’t upload most of them, ah ha ha!

Oh, okay. I get it now. ^_^

They would indeed. But in families, there is always the odd ones out. And the scary ones. And the nutcase ones…Lol.

rofl Oh my gosh, that's pretty funny. I really hope there aren't any dcotors who do that irl! (unless it's on their break of course). Sounds muchly fun. I may end up purchasing this game after all. mrgreen

Oooh, neat! I'd live in the Pagoda or the Castle. xd At least you wouldn't have to worry about running out of room then.

If I lived in a spaceship, I'd just get confused. Or paranoid about accidentally pushing the wrong button.

Ahhh, I see. Perhaps you don't know the secret of pausing the game with 'p' (I think it's the 'p' key, or maybe it's 'enter') and then pressing 'c' button to take piccus in Sims 2? You can move the camera round while the game is paused too.

Lol. Isn't that always the way? Families are interesting.

Ah ha ha! Well, the cheats are sometimes tempting but I don't really like using them apart from the move objects one when there's a game glitch and my Sims get stuck in a chair. XD Or when I want to place furniture in nifty and unusual postions.

Hee, I like to make expensive dream houses that I imagine my characters would live in. 4laugh I make them in build mode so that when I build and buy, I don't have any limits on funds whatsoever. Of course, unless they are millionaires my Sims can't afford it til several generations down the track but...it's not really for anyone to live in. It's just to get my ideas out of my head and into the game.

Oh neat. That sounds like fun. I am recalling the house in Strangetown where those three guys live. The one with aliens...

Hm...making stories is enjoyable once you get into it. I only enjoy making them best with my sis though. Together, we are usually in hysterics.

Maybe there are a lot of families like that as well, but I was really thinking of the GMFC ones, Sims ones and such when I said that. I should have made it clearer. ^_^;

Edit: By the way, your current avatar is really endearing. Ah ha ha! Whenever I look at it, it makes me giggle. XD

I like doing that too! biggrin But the last two houses I made were a for a merneko and her family and a sort of seafish guy....thingy. XD And I think it will be too tricky trying to design thier characters without visiting 'Mod The Sims 2' website and getting a lot of downloads. (I like downloads very much; computer doesn't)

Oh well, that's fair enough. =^_^= I just found that it's super fun playing through generations of a legacy family 'cause when the founders are weird, strange things pop up somewhere way down the line. And also; they come back to haunt their rellies. Hee hee!

Oh yeah! And they end up having an alien baby. *giggles* biggrin It's pretty neat but the first time I played their household, I was sort of freaked out - Pregnant men?! Lol. I love watching them be abducted though.

They are! =^.^= All sorts of unusual things happen.

Ehehe. It's like he's gone to check what's around his neck or fix his scarf and is just realising (with terror) what he's grabbed hold of. mrgreen
