So after weeks and months of trying to decide if I wanted to start a blog. I thought "What the hell?" So here it is. I don't have any experience in Blogging, but we all must start somewhere.
Now, newbie to this? Yes. Have things to say? Yes. What are you waiting for? Nothing.
Let's dive right on into my favourite thing, and most likely a common thing you will find within all my Blogs... **Drum Roll** The Sims, 2 & 3.
Having no outside of school activities or part-time jobs when I was younger, my friend (She will be called X) introduced me to the computer game Sims 2 when I was over her house one weekend. I soon then became addicted to the God powers and complete control over the tiny animated people on the screen. Not only could you tell them what to do, if they misbehaved you could torture them. Starvation, isolation.
Both X and myself had no outside life. We played Sims or played Bratz, living in imaginations of young children. But now, as adults, we have ditched the Bratz and still continue to play Sims 3.

As we have grown, so has our understanding on how to manipulate the game. Even with the current restrictions of game play in Sims 3 we have both overcome this obstacle (Usually by cheats X finds). Families become big and messy. Sims become depressed and Gods (Us) become to infuriated, ending in killing all... Well I kill all.
Being a newbie at Sims when I was young ended up with me sitting next to X and watching her play. Waiting impatiently for my turn and almost pushing her out of the way when she was taking too long, only to realize that I did not know how to play the game and needing help, resulting in X taking back the computer to teach me. Frustrating process I believe. I was an impatient child.
Wonderful example of the mixed emotions I had when playing Sims and dealing with X teaching me how to play the Sims.
As I learnt, I developed a certain God-Like complex, believing that I had the same control over real life as I did with the Sims lives, unfortunately, my mother proceeded to tell me that my "realistic" view on reality was actually unrealistic, completely shattering my young mind and realizing that I was too much addicted.
Thus, ending my Siming life for a few years.
Now, as we reach our 20's we begin to play again, but I am fully aware that I am not God in reality and only in the Sims.
End of Blog
