At last!
Yes peeps at last I'm updating my blog! Ok this is by request of two people...shall not say who hehe. Finally submitted the lab report today. Now I can play and relax until the next one comes around next month!

This year's Christmas was relatively quiet. No productions, no choir practices, no parties. A bit boring, even. But I kind of wanted it and liked it this way. I feel the meaning of Christmas can be appreciated everyday (and should, too), why wait for Dec 25? And you can celebrate anyday too. You could throw a party to celebrate being alive and kicking, if you really wanted. I don't see much point in squeezing with tonnes of strangers either, so yeap...Was mostly at Sheena's house watching what we referred to as "vintage movies" on Channel 5...it was quite funny cos' we would point out all the 'vintage' stuff in the movie and everything was vintage cos' it was some movie from the 80s' called Nico the Unicorn. Even the title sounds vintage! Haha!

Met up for dinner today with Shujuan and she passed me my present! Thanks babe! I really like both items. They're so cute~





Hehe..that's not a spill, it's part of the design!




new species: grey sheep! lol




These are the first two presents i received; a necklace from Jojo and a scrapbook from Sheena! And I love them both too :D




This is a gift from Sheena...haha meet Mr. Cheeky! Just thought he was kinda cute and she bought it then




And this is a dolphin she gave me sometime around last year. I used to hug it sleep, but then it's kinda dirty now...so this is a replacement! :D




Got these lovely cards from Lucille, Sarah and Kah Ming. Thanks babes! I'm sure it's not just me but that peach looks really suggestive right...and it says "Holland Imported" - hohoho! Not surprising, having seen some of the pics she's taken there xP




To end this entry...a smiley face for you! :D Yes I cooked that omelette myself..it's got ham inside! Ok it doesn't look like much and is probably a bit too brown...but it's the first time I managed to cook an omelette that didn't break! So I had to take pics to commemorate it.



2006 has been such an eventful year...but no regrets, absolutely. I'm glad that I made certain decisions I did this year. In the midst of making those decisions, I was in a lot of confusion, but I knew the decision was right when I had peace in my heart. And what peace and grace I've uncovered this year!

I'm confident in Christ that everything can only get better in the year 2007. Everyday is a new day!

Sentimentality
I bought a new phone today, finally! Finally, because I was supposed to get it about a month ago, but it kept getting pushed back because of this and that.

I actually changed my number too, and this is what the title of this post is about: I'm sentimental about my old number! I feel a curious sort of attachment to it since I've kinda been through a bit on this number...and I remember fondly the days when I couldn't remember where it started with 9X33 or 93XX (haha just to be on the safe side...the X represents the same number in both cases), and I had to pause when people asked, "So what's your number?" and sometimes I'd even say the wrong one. I'm rather attached to my phone too, it's gone through so much that it has a cracked screen and many scratches and the side key has fallen out! Been using a phone borrowed from Sheena for a while since I couldn't read the screen properly because of the massive crack. Or rather, the spreading and dying pixels...




It looked like this on 1st Nov...


10 days later, this is what it looked like! Angel (the dog) looks like she's saying, "Argghh!!! Save me from this spreading virus-like thingy!!!!"



My new phone:




This is the Sony Ericsson Z610i. Yeah I got the pink/fuschia one! Funny, because a couple of years back I wouldn't be caught dead with a pink phone.

But then, I used to be anti-rebonding, anti-contact lenses and anti-hairdying. People change. Fundamentally, I'm still the same inside. Still a little girl, wondering about the mysteries of life...only then, I was afraid. Now I've found myself in my Father's arms. I've been rather relieved to learn that actually it is ok for me to be a little girl in His presence. That I can run to Him, small and vulnerable and afraid, and find strength and peace in His arms. That that is what He wants me to do, to be His little girl, His little princess, His baby. Paradoxically, it is in this little-girl-ness is where I will grow in Him and mature! And I really feel as if this has happened and is continuing to happen in me; as I become a child in Him I have become stronger, steadier, and more mature in my outlook towards life! I used to think that I had to be 'mature' and grow up spiritually and stuff, in the sense that I couldn't come to Him in all my ridiculous, human fear and be accepted with no condemnation. How I've been set free!

Ok, I've digressed!

I think my new phone is pretty funky! Not as user-friendly as Samsung I think, but then it could be that I've grown used to Samsung. Do you know that I've not used any other brand since I started using a handphone? With the exception of my very first phone (in Sec 4! I'm a late-bloomer in a lot of things...), which was really chunky and embarrassingly big - almost as big as a normal telephone handset! I thought of sticking with Mr. Samsung again, but there wasn't anything from Samsung that I wanted this time round.

The other model I considered was Nokia 7373, but there were no sparks when I saw it in the shop. (I've never used a Nokia phone, believe it or not!) I must admit that when it comes to phones, I'm all about looks. Functionality is important, but I won't buy a phone even if it has super duper good features but I don't like how it looks! Not like I need much anyway, just for calling and texting, which I don't even do much of. I only get to change phone every two years, when the contract expires, so I must get something I like right...but then I'm fickle too. After maybe about a month or so, the novelty wears off and after a while I don't care about scratches anymore. :P

Anyways, Sheena and I met up with Tracy today! Went to eat at Din Tai Fung (I love the xiao long bao, the wanton, and the beef soup!), walked around Tampines Mall and Century Square for a while...contemplated watching The Nativity Story or After This Our Exile but the timings were off, and the latter movie was M18, so one of us couldn't get in. Haha...

After that, we spontaneously decided to go to Changi Airport where Tracy got pushed around on a luggage cart. She was like waving to people while she was on it, and saying, "Hello!" That made this particular policeman very amused. We hung out at Starbucks, then went to Burger King and shared cheesesticks. I love cheesesticks! :D

On trusting God
I was reading a particular blog recently...one that I've not linked to because I don't know the blogger personally, even though I know she goes to the same church. But I secretly lurk around her blog. Sometimes I'd leave it on in the background because I really like the midi music she uses on it! I think it's very soothing yet melodious...doesn't disturb my train of thought either.

One of her recent posts was about trusting God. I'm glad she blogged that because it had to do with some questions I had inside my heart in the light of something a couple of my friends had told me about...Even for myself, trusting God can be hard. I sometimes waver to and fro between doubt and belief, and it can be frustrating. I was just thinking to myself yesterday: It's so easy to look to the natural, the things you can see. But why do that, when I know what He can do and surely will do for me? Just because He loves me so? Why struggle on my own effort, when by resting in Him, He can accomplish so much more? As Pastor said once, it's not the ability of God that we doubt nowadays, it's "Will He do it for me?"

I've asked myself and struggled with that question so much in times past. Especially in the year I decided to retake my A levels and it was so hard, so hard. In the end, I did even worse! I felt disappointed, even betrayed. I had trusted Him! I had trusted Him and He had failed me. Why? Was it because I had not put in enough effort on my own? But I had trusted Him for supernatural intervention. Or did I really trust Him? Or was it only something I had convinced myself into? Maybe I never really trusted Him, because I didn't know how much He loves me. Thank God that He was only comfort in those times, even if I felt betrayed and angry and like a horrible failure. Thank God that before He came into my life, I had never experienced love like His, which is what kept me hanging on, even in those days when I hadn't the revelation of His love like I do now.

Ok, it's not like I was some abused kid or something, or that I didn't have friends....I am really thankful for the friends I have now, the closest of whom are still the ones I made in primary school, and in church. And I love my parents; now I see how much they love me, even if they haven't always expressed it in a way that makes me feel loved. Perhaps I was too preoccupied with the things inside of me that I didn't see how blessed I already was. But it is He who has opened my eyes to the ones who love me, it is He who has filled my heart with even greater love for these people, as well as forgiveness for unintentional/intentional hurt caused. I was selfish, I think, because I couldn't see past myself. I've learnt to love because He showed me how, by loving me.

Was on the bus today when I got another revelation of His love; not something I'd never known before, but experienced afresh. It is this: He loves me for me. I wonder what name He knows me by? Qing Ying, Esther? Or is it simply, "Daughter", "Beloved" or "Child"? Surely He needs no name to know me by; He knows me in a way no man ever will, or can. He needs no adjective either, for none matter to Him; I don't need to be 'beautiful', 'intelligent', or 'filial' for Him to love me. He loves me simply because I am His. It is a love that I believe supercedes the constraints of any human language, yet even the little that I know from the Bible (and I am still getting to know my Bible after five years) and the words of those who know His love are able to touch me and reach me in deep and secret places. It's a mystery to me, this Love.

Yet how is it that I still have difficulties trusting Him? Sometimes I feel almost hypocritic, but I know He doesn't condemn me for my foolishness. I know I am still a work in process, still learning and growing day by day. Actually, I do know how to grow in trust. I have read, and heard, again and again: Simply place your gaze upon Him, and not on the circumstances. Know that He loves you, and He will bring you through.

Like the story of Peter walking on water, in Matthew 14:25-31...

During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. "It's a ghost," they said, and cried out in fear.

But Jesus immediately said to them: "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid."

"Lord, if it's you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water."

"Come," he said.

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!"

[Pastor: "As if he could walk on water even when there was no wind!"]

Immediately, Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?"

[Italics mine]

Can you imagine if you were Jesus? You walk with these people for years, spend virtually all your time with them, teach them about the goodness of your Father, drive out demons, heal the sick, and resurrect the dead in their presence. Then you walk on water towards, them, and they stupidly think you're a ghost! Heck, even if you were, shouldn't they know by now that there's nothing to be afraid of? Then one of them does something good; he trusts that you can help him walk on water. But halfway he loses courage when he sees the wind!! The wind, for Pete's sake (hurhur)! When you are GOD Himself and He is coming towards you!

And yet, and yet, these are the ones He chose! Indeed He chooses the foolish things to shame the wise. I love my God of paradoxes; a boy to slay a giant, death to give life, etc etc. Everything to assure us, "See what I can do? See what I will do, because I love you!"

Of course, the whole point of this story is to show that it is when you take your eyes off Him and start looking at your circumstances that you fall. At least that is what I read about. But now that I read this story again, I have a new understanding: I noticed that twice in this story, when His disciples were afraid, He immediately assured them. He did not even wait a fraction of a second, and I believe it is because His heart was filled with compassion for them! And I just realised that earlier in Matthew 8:23-27, Jesus had already once calmed a storm when his disciples were afraid that they were going to drown! Amazing, isn't it, how forgetful we can be!

Anyway, I wasn't going to blog so much...but I was inspired lah, hahaha. (Actually still got more to say...) Here is the entry about trusting God.

Updates: Had class today, actually didn't really feel like going. But I wanted to do the SPSS analysis. In the end our teacher didn't go through it but me, Shujuan, Netty and Evelyn stayed back and finished it by ourselves. Then I went and collected my new contact lenses and specs (they're red!) - might take pics and post them up haha.

Watched the encore telecast of Prison Break just now - I missed the Thursday ep when I went for Bible Study...but then I would have watched it again actually. Haha! It's such a well-written show, even if rather incredulous. Makes me tear and bite my nails at different times. What I like is that the characters are not black-and-white, from the 'good' guys to the 'bad' ones. I mean, of course T-Bag is such a *^&%$#$# and he keeps obstructing poor Michael's plan, but even he has the decency to despair when he hears about the death of his cousin and nephew. I have a particular soft spot for Abruzzi, too, but...haha I cannot say because it will be a spoiler.

If you think Michael is the good guy, have another think, because he's inadvertedly caused the death of a few people just by trying to change the course of things. He has blood on his hands. Even if he has sort of a very good reason for doing so? I think they're just like you and me, even if most of us will never end up in prison or be put in such a tight spot or have to cause people's deaths for something that we want. (Thank God I'll never be in such dilemnas because I know He will deliver me out of anything!) In that they are human, and make mistakes, and are sometimes blind to the grand scheme of things, and try very hard to love in a broken way, and yet they're trying the best they know how. I don't know if it makes sense to you, but humanity touches me. Our efforts and our failings, our brokenness, our ability to love, our imperfect, flawed love, the way we hurt unintentionally...these things touch me.

Haha ok...sometimes I just have ideas that I don't really know how to express. So if you don't get it, nevermind! (It's my blog remember, I shall blog what I want! Hurhur)

the soap opera life of my sims
Before I launch into the main contents of this post, an update of my life-so-far:

Went for Bible Study today with Hannie, her first time since exams ended. The message was a bit hard to grasp today since it was a lot of Hebrew (like last week) but still I was blessed, and found myself thinking, "It is good to be here."

Had compulsory weekend school last Saturday with Dr Max Jory, who reminds me of Jason Gideon, a character on Criminal Minds. It was quite interesting, although a bit disappointing that Max had forgotten a vital piece of equipment for us to do the experiment on sound. But we did some personality tests which were quite interesting :D I think he was rather amused by me and Netty cos' we kept nattering to ourselves while we were adding up our scores. I'm not very good at mental sums and I need to talk to myself when I add ("8 + 7 = ?") and I think I was disturbing Netty so she also started adding out loud. Then she'd be like, "7 + 9...ESther!!" Then I freaked out a bit when I thought I'd torn my paper the wrong way (for one of the tests we had to tear away the sides to get to the results behind), cos' Netty was like, "Why you tear yours like that??" and I went, "HUH then How!" And then Netty had a very high score for the Neurotic trait etc etc. I saw him smiling, haha.

So class was quite fun despite the fact that I was zoning out at the points when Max was droning on and on...

After class we went to Popular to buy Halima's birthday present with the woman herself in tow. We gave her a budget and asked her to choose! Haha...actually we brought her to Kino first but she said what she wanted would be cheaper at Popular. So we walked back to Bras Basah Complex when we had walked past it just a while ago. Anyway, Happy Birthday again Halima! *hugs*

Oh, Joanna (my xiaomei) is back! Although she says she has chicken pox so she can't meet us for the time being...I don't even know how on earth she managed to board the plane and all!

Ok, finally we get to the topic of my Sims. As you know (if you've been following this blog), I've been playing Sims 2. I think it's a really genius concept for a game, one of its kind. And the people behind it have also very brilliantly created a website for gamers to upload their own custom characters, items, houses, even stories of their Sims. And the expansion packs, although expensive, are quite worth it because they add so much more to the game. It's got great replay value too since every family you create can be different in so many ways!

I started off playing some of the pre-loaded characters in one of the pre-loaded neighbourhoods (of which there are three), but along the way I've added my own and they've mingled and become family and friends with many of the preset Sims. It's like every player gets to create a world that is personal and unique to them! I'm very happy with my little neighbourhood! The stories of my Sims are very inter-connected, which is what I'm gonna tell you about now. If you get lost, not my business (hahaha), cos' it's my blog and I shall blog what I want! Hahaha!

I started with the Burb family (preset), consisting of John, his wife Jennifer, and child Lucy. Now, every Sim has a life aspiration that cannot be changed once it enters adulthood. Both John and Lucy had a Family aspiration, while Jen had a Money aspiration. When Lucy grew into a teenager, she started wanting to fall in love, so I made a new family for the express purpose of providing Lucy with a boyfriend (and future husband)!

This was the Scofields (as in Michael Scofield of Prison Break), consisting of Rose and her son Lincoln, and Nathaniel and his son Michael. Rose and Nathan are, at this point, only roomies, soon to be married. I gave all of them Family aspirations except for Linc, whom I gave a Popularity aspiration. Apparently, Rose was the Hilary Duff Sim I'd downloaded from the website but I didn't realise when I chose her actually. It's hard to make Sims that resemble real people, for some reason. And often what looks good in the flesh looks weird/ugly on a Sim!

Nathan was a Wentworth Miller Sim I'd made myself, only I made him black, because I know in real life that Wentworth's parents are of different races. Also, Linc looks nothing like Linc from Prison Break, and Michael is basically the same Wentworth Sim, only with hair. Haha, as you can see, I've taken great creative license with everything.

When a new family moves in, their neighbours soon pop over for a visit. So I put the Scofields right next to the Burbs, but Lucy didn't drop by; only her parents did. I think she was in school or something. I made her ask for a blind date from the matchmaker, though, and guess who literally dropped out of the sky! Michael, of course. So they got attached and blah blah. I've sent them both and Linc to univeristy, though I haven't actually played them in uni yet, cos' the neighbourhood families are still keeping me busy!

Meanwhile, Jen died mysteriously one day after woohoo-ing (that's Simspeak for sex, haha) with John! I was a bit saddened. I wanted to not save the game so I could save her but then in my confusion I must have saved it, cos' when I returned she was already dead. Poor John was distraught. He refused to sleep in the room, even. But I remembered that there was a single mom in the neighbourhood, Brandi Broke (preset), who has three sons (!!) of differing ages. So I engineered their romance and they all moved into Brandi's super big mansion, at which point there were EIGHT people in the house and it was pandemonium - I hadn't sent the teens off to uni yet. John had also adopted a son, Leonid, at at one point (actually I made him do it, haha) so he had three kids of his own as well (Jen popped out one before she died, haha this sounds so crude). After I sent the teens off to college though, there was only two child-aged kids left. And PEACE in the Burb household!

Anyhow, just so you know; Sims have no specific age, but pass through six life phases: Baby, Toddler, Child, Teen, Adult, Elderly. It's seven if you send them off to uni, and they become Young Adults for the duration of their uni years.

I've not played the Burbs for sometime now. I've also sent off the Scofields' teens (Linc and Michael) to uni, so there was only Nathan and Rose left at home. I left them there for a while too.

I'd downloaded a Buffy (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) Sim and a Spike Sim (from the same show) and wanted to play them, so I created the Summers family (Summers is Buffy's family name). It consisted of Buffy and her sister Esther (hahaha, I found a Sim with my current hairstyle), and their roomies Spike, his father Sebastian and his son Christian. I gave Sebastian a Romance aspiration (which should really be called the Woohoo aspiration), and Christian the Popularity aspiration. Everyone else had Family aspirations.

Of course, Buffy and Spike (I modified the Spike Sim's facial features though, since I thought it didn't resemble the real Spike enough) were meant to fall in love right from the start (if you've watched Buffy, you'd know that the two had a brief romantic interlude at one point, though in the show Spike was a vampire!), which they did in due course. Now Esther wanted to fall in love! But something briefly interrupted my plans - the dreaded flu! I'd made the mistake of putting them in a much bigger house than I could manage, and as a consequence was finding it hard to locate important places like bedrooms and toilets. You see, even though I like to play my games with their free will on (you can turn it off if you want but I find it 'cruel' and troublesome, because you have to direct their every move, and also boring because sometimes they do silly and amusing things on their own), sometimes they behave really stupidly and don't go to the toilet or to bed when they need to.

Anyhow, at one point Spike left a bag of trash on the ground (my fault, because I made him do something else when he was dutifully taking out the trash), and as a result everyone fell sick. Usually, when a Sim falls sick, the simplest solution is to make them cuddle on the couch/bed with a loved one. But they all fell sick when they hadn't developed good relationships yet, so I couldn't make them do that. I tried to make them all sit down or lie down somewhere, but they kept getting up and the house was so big I couldn't manage them properly. At one point everything was in chaos; Buffy fell asleep standing because she was so tired; Esther collapsed on the floor beside the computer, Spike plopped facedown into his lunch meat sandwich, and God knows what Sebastian and Christian were doing!

So I moved them to a smaller house and got them all well first. Some of them actually fell sick a few times, because after they got well they went to talk to someone in the house who was sick! Duh. Sims can die from the flu, and there's no medicine or doctors available, even though when they become crazy a therapist appears and makes them well again. Hurhur.

Tragedy struck the Summers' though. Shortly after they moved into the new house, Spike fell dead! And the neighbour could still play and laugh on the swing right after he'd died right beside her. So evil! Anyway, this leaves Buffy without a paramour. So I introduced a new couple into the mix; William and Catherine Jones. Who were never meant to last because while Cat had a Pleasure aspiration, William wanted kids and a family and six grandkids, which only Buffy could give.

William is actually the real name of Spike in the Buffy show, and this Will, according to me, is Spike's twin. Why they have different family names - their parents divored while they were young and one of them (I donno who), the one who stayed with the mother, took on the stepdad's name when she remarried. Haha very farfetched I know....but this is my Simverse and I can do (ALMOST) whatever I want!

Buffy, naturally, fell in love with Will. Meanwhile, Sebastian the horny old man seduced Catherine. He also seduced the ugly old matchmaker, another horny (and married!) old man from the neighbourhood, a young woman he met in the park, as well as a black woman he met somewhere. As you can see, he doesn't distinguish between age, gender, race, or attractiveness. Very politically correct, is our Sebastian. Hohoho. The only thing he was missing was a boytoy but he died before he could do that (or woohoo with ten Sims which was one of his aspirations at that point, now that he'd already done the deed with five). But not before I made him go over to Cat's house and made Will witness him making out with Cat! Hahaha so evil of me...

Naturally, Will went bonkers (which is ironic since he was carrying on an affair with Buffy himself!) and broke up with Cat. He then moved in with Buffy and married her and had his first child with her. At one point he hated Sebastian so much he wanted to "See the ghost of Sebastian"! Yes there're Sim-ghosts too...you'll see them if there's a grave/urn on the site of the house. But they don't come out every night, and by the time Will really saw the ghost of Sebastian, that particular want had abated and he got scared instead. Silly Will!

By the time Sebastian died, actually, Esther had already gotten married to Wentworth Miller (yeah yeah, don't laugh lah!), a bachelor I'd introduced into the neighbourhood. I put him next to the Summers', but for some reason Esther didn't visit him when her sister and Sebastian did! So I made him ask the matchmaker for a blind date, and guess who drops out of the sky...yes Esther! I was utterly amazed when it happened. It's like everything is going my way! This Wentworth is actually (according to me) the brother of Nathan Scofield. They have different family names because their father abandoned them when they were young (as in Prison Break) and Nathan adopted his mom's family name, because he was so mad at his dad. In Prison Break, though, it's Wentworth who gets the mom's name. If you're confused by this...nevermind.

Lalila...this is so long, it's like Days of Our Lives. Anyways, I've moved Nathan and Rose in with Esther and Went, because it's absolutely tiring for only two people to take care of a baby. Always requiring feeding, diaper changes and attention!! I did that with Buffy and Will and Will has actually passed out in front of the baby's crib one night. I was super amused to see that though! You can call a nanny, but since none of my Sims work (thanks to a cheat code xP), the nanny never stays for long. Also, the nanny I hired for Buffy's kid (whom I named Faith; Buffy fans will recognise this name as well! Hehe) kept pulling pranks on poor William. If Sims don't have a good relationship, pulling pranks will cause relationship points to go down and some distress to the prankees, who will start bawling like idiots! In a good relationship, though, pranks actually add relationship points, and are fun to see!

So much for that. To continue (we're almost done), Rose gave birth right after they moved in, and had a girl called Angelina. The Sims' way of giving birth basically consists of the mother standing and yelling in pain, other Sims standing around looking amazed, and then a message appears saying, "Please wait while the storks untangle the knots!" which is kinda weird since all babies are conceived the natural way, but babies are delivered by the storks?? And then a baby drops from the sky into the mother's waiting arms. Hurhur.

[Of course, they never actually show you the whole woohoo-ing process. Everything's covered up and you may see a hand or leg slip out occasionally, as well as fireworks special effects and hear giggling/happy sounds. As in real life, though, Sims can woohoo in a variety of places - the bed, the hot tub, the car, and the photobooth! I don't know how they can do it (and still get pregnant) in the hot tub though.]

Esther is also impregated very soon by Went (well their aspirations showed that they wanted to woohoo with each other). It's easy to get Sims pregnant, as long as both parties' meters are all relatively full. Very fertile lot! Haha...and guess what?? Esther has twins! A boy (David) and a girl (Hope)! Which is such a pleasant surprise. Everything seems to be perfect with Esther and her new husband. Hurhur. Oh, I also made them adopt a child (just so that when it grows into a teen, it can help out with the younger ones) who turned out to be a girl in a fairy costume called Laci. Haha! Anyhow, at one point I was quite annoyed with Esther and Went because they kept playing and flirting with and talking and entertaining and kissing each other, and wouldn't take care of their newborns! So poor Nathan and Rose had to help them feed and comfort David and Hope. Duh. At one point, though, both Nathan, Esther, and Went had "fear of changing diapers"!! So lame. It's passed, though, and also Esther and Went have finally decided to be responsible parents. They both have a lifelong aspiration of "Marrying off six children" though! I think that's, like, nuts.

I'd post pics but I'm really lazy to do that...and anyway this post is already very long! Hope you've enjoyed my Sims as much as I have! If you've managed to get this far, give yourself a pat on your back. You either a) have too much time on your hands, b) are procrastinating when you're supposed to be doing work, or c) am so interested in my life/the lives of my unreal Sims, or d) think I am the most entertaining and interesting writer ever!! Hurhurhur.

Ok good night.
