Couples Interview Meme-thing...

I was tagged by @gaiahypothesims, thanks :-)

I’ll pick my more unusual couple from TS4 since I haven’t played any families or couples from TS3 since last last year. I will choose Shirley and 

1. How did you two meet?

Brian: We met at a club during a group meeting....

Shirley: We met at a swinger’s club...Brian’s a prude.

2. Who is the most jealous of you two?

Brian: She is.

Shirley:  He is.

3. What are your three favourite physical things about your partner?

Brian: Every thing about her is perfect. Her beautiful soulful brown eyes..  Her ample boo....

Shirley:  Come on now Brian, I know you want to say my boobs... My favorite thing about my man?  Besides his patience? I would have to say his hands and his body...and his face....and voice. I just love him even when I want to strangle him. It helps that he has a long schlong....

Brian: GAWD Shirls!!!!

4. Who’s more likely to be running late?

Shirley:  I am always exactly when I am supposed to be....

Brian:  She’s always late.

5. Who is the most organised and who is the messiest?

Brian:  I would have to say Claudia is the messiest, that and the cats.

Shirley: I don’t think the question is in regards to anyone else but us. I have to admit that sometimes I’m not always organized like Brian is. I prefer to call it my imaginative organizational implementation.  

Brian:  She is constantly making a mess.

6. Who is the bigger flirt? (flirts the most?)

Shirley: I am *sly smile*.

Brian: .........

7. Who does the most cooking?

Brian: I know my way around the grill. I can make....

Shirley:  Our restaurant is open 6 days a week featuring my own recipes and some of Brian’s. I am always working on something new to titillate the new clientele. I love cooking!

Brian:  The only thing I see you doing is mixing drinks.....

Shirley:  Save it, Brian...

8. How do you feel about kids and do you want them? If so how many?

Brian:  Well, we didn’t expect our bundle of joy....

Shirley:  I got knocked up with Claudia but I never would have expected the little hellion to be the center of my universe, honestly.

Brian: She’s my little angel too, even if she throws food like a monkey throws poo. I wouldn’t mind a few more siblings for her.

Shirley: I think she picked that up from you. And since you are so interested in having more kids, will you be carrying them as well while running the restaurant? Or will it only be when I am at home?

Brian: I’ll get back to you on this answer....

9. Who wears the pants in the relationship?

Brian and Shirley in unison: I do

10. What’s your partner’s least favourite housework task?

Brian:  Cleaning up after the cats.. Oh...mine or Shirley’s?

Shirley:  Huh, clearly it’s cleaning up after the cats.

11. What was the first thing you noticed about each other?

Brian: Her presence. She can take up a whole room with her beauty....

Shirley:  We met initially at a Swinger’s Club...do you want to know what I noticed first or second? *winks*

12. What does your partner do that pisses you off?

Brian:  I can’t think of anything per se...maybe if she spent more time with the family than at the bar....

Shirley: Are you saying I spend too much time at the restaurant or I drink too much?  

Brian: -No! No.....I wouldn’t imply that I always see you with a drink in your hand..Why would you ask that?

13. Where’s the craziest/weirdest place you’ve ever had sex?

Brian: In a park...

Shirley: *Interrupting* We had sex on park bench in front of the night club we met at during a swinger’s party.

Brian: ...........

14. Do you know your partner’s love language, if yes what is it?

Brian: I would like to think I know how to read the love of my life’s body language.

Shirley: Are you sure that’s what was asked?...

Brian:  *Stares at Shirley* “Yes...?”

15. Where do you see the 2 of you in 10 years?

Brian:  I would like to see us all as a big happy family. Perhaps we will have one or two more additions to the family. Claudia  will be doing well in school, as well as any of our other children and the restaurant will be doing very well under Shirley’s direction and management. 

Shirley:  *Nods in agreement but looking at Brian with the side eye.

What I Grew Up Watching Tag

I was tagged by @treason-and-plot to share what I watched growing up, so here we go :-)~

[winifredwoogie]

GET TO KNOW ME MEME

I was tagged by @treason-and-plot  Sorry for the late reply but I have not been on  the internet too much lately and I have a moment right now so here we go:

Name: Wendy...or Wini, Winifred, Window, Wendell.  Gender: female Star sign: Virgo but I think there might be a hidden sign of “Smart Ass” Current wall paper?: The night sky with the moon and stars through Autumnal leaves from in my TS4 game. It really is a pretty picture. Ever had a crush on a teacher?: Not a crush but admiration and respect. I really liked him as a teacher. I’m chronically late (I screw around too much) and on the last day of class, he had brought in donuts for the class and played his banjo. I missed it and he was disappointed that I did. His disappointment in me still smarts and that was decades ago. If you could be someone else right now, who and where would you be?: I don’t know. Maybe I would be a person that didn’t have to work six days a week to make ends meet and could financially afford a home instead of a super tiny apartment where I and my pets could have more room. But you know, I am okay with what I have. I worked hard to obtain it and don’t see myself every having more than what I have now. I don’t have my own family and honestly I am not very close with anyone anymore, they all have their own families and I am a solitary worker bee always at work.  Coolest Halloween costume?: I was a dark sorceress and my then boyfriend was a dead soldier. It looked like I had raised him from the dead. It was pretty fun. Who was your last kiss?: My cat on his fuzzy head. He’s a mama’s boy that likes cuddles and attention. Favorite book: It’s a toss up between the Dragon Riders of Pern series or The Hobbit/LOTR series. I have read both multiple times and never tire of them. Fave 90’s TV show : X-files!!. Honorable mention of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Every been to Las Vegas?: Yes. Not impressed. Favorite shoes?: I have a bunch of Birki clogs and sneakers. I own fancy dress shoes but I don’t use them anymore. I’m holding on to them in case I might actually have to dress up.  Favorite fruit?: I like fruit but I don’t think I have a favorite. What is the stupidest thing you’ve ever done?: We don’t have enough time in the world to write down the stupid things I’ve done....I am a Master at Stupid Things. Just know I have a long list, some I do not regret and some I do greatly.

5 Things Meme

I was tagged by @declarations-of-drama for this meme, thank you :-).

5 things in my bag.

Five things...

my wallet, 

pens, 

tire pressure gauge, 

measure tape, 

reading glasses. 

  Girls gotta be prepared, ya know?  Of course if you asked what was under my bed I’d have to tell you a pick ax, rusty machete, lawn bags, a shovel and extra carpet. True story but that’s not part of the meme, is it ;-).

5 things you’ll find in my room.

Well, I suppose it would depend on which room.  Let’s do the front room. Besides the obvious stuff like the television and couch, we have:

my beloved computer, 

my birds Squeak (ring neck parakeet) and Billy (peach faced lovebird), 

my collection of snowglobes and fantasy figurines, 

books 

cat trees.

5 things that make me happy

We will keep it simple because more than five things make me happy.

My pets: Benjamin, Alice, Tobias, Squeak, Billy, Freddy the outside kitty and my fishes

My plants-I love gardening, no yard but I have garding tools from when I did (see *under bed reference*)

Listening to the church bells, they have recently started ringing the bells after years of silence.

Watching sunrises and sunsets.

Seeing people happy. It could be some random folks that I don’t know, but I like seeing people be genuinely happy. It’s not something I see too often, honestly.

5 things I’m currently into

I’m not currently into anything except constantly working but my hobbies when I have free time are:

Loom knitting and needle knitting. I’m not great but it’s fun when I have the time.

Doodling. I used to be able to draw very well. I had an art scholarship and was commissioned occasionally by friends to draw portraits and what not when I was in in high school and in my twenties. I was too flaky to stick to it. I squandered my gift. 

Playing Sims...obviously.

Taking pictures, whether it is in real life or in game I LOVE to take pictures. I love capturing moments.

Reading and learning. That’s a two for one.

5 things on my to-do list

Hmmm, I’m not very ambitious. I’m not a person that plans far in the future either so this will be basic:

Not die, obviously.

Eat and live as healthy as possible

Be kind

Give when I can 

Be aware of what is going on around me. Appreciate everything when I can. Life is too short to run around with one’s head up their keister.

A Meme-Question Thing:

Thank you for tagging me @dreadpiratevinna

Rules: Always post the rules, answer the questions given to you, then write 10 questions of your own, and tag some friends! *I won’t tag anyone to do this but if you want to...please consider yourself “tagged”.

1. Is Tumblr the first sims community you’ve gotten involved in? If not, what is?

No, it was The Sims Forums and the Fire Monkey’s forums for Sims Freeplay. 

2. What is your favorite skill in the game?

Hmmm. In TS3 I would have to say painting and spell casting. In TS4 the painting skill is still good, I like the gardening in this game and the vampire skills.

3. If you write a story, do you let your sims influence their characters? If you’re not a story writer, do you play with Free Will?

I’m not a writer but I have an idea what I want my digital dollies (aka “Sims”) to do but for the most part I let them do what they want. I play with free will on, I prefer the element of surprise.

4. Do you like rabbithole lots?

That really depends on what I am doing. If I want to get a sim out of my hair so I can take care of something else then “yes”. If I am trying to do something with the sim going into the rabbithole and want to actually see them while they are doing the “thing” in the rabbithole lot-then no.

5. What’s your oldest piece of cc?

In TS3 the first cc I downloaded and still use is the fixed hair by @buckleysims . I was a bit cc shy...you wouldn’t know that now. For TS4 the oldest stuff I have but don’t use is gholiad’s stuff. It doesn’t work in my game anymore but for what ever reason I have it stashed away on an external hard drive because I liked it.

6. What is your favorite simlish phrase? 

“Pixa dooba!!” or the one that sounds like “Dee-bow” which is a kind of greeting or acknowledgment.

7. What is an interaction or feature of the game you absolutely despise and modded out so quick you forget it exists?(example: shaka-bra)

TS3 “Berate ignorance”. OMG...how many friends and family my sims managed to insult with that one before I put the mod in. TS4 the constant state of smiling and “happy”. I modded that crap out. You will be miserable like everyone else and like it!!!

8. Have you bought an EP or SP just to get one thing?

No, there is usually more than one thing that I like in an EP or SP.

9. Many players create a simself, but have you created any family or friends? Did you play them?

Yes I have created a couple old friends but I don’t like playing them. I let them loose in the world to live out their sim lives happily. No simself.

10. Are you going to play sims today?

I do plan on it, I just need to do a couple things around the house....but I’m a grown up and can blow off my chores if I want ;-D. Of course I will have to deal with them later but that’s how it goes.

[winifredwoogie]

A Meme-thing!

I was tagged by @treason-and-plot to do this curious questionnaire. Since I’m sitting here at my desk trying to forget how hot it is, this seems like an excellent time to distract myself and respond :-D

What’s your favorite sims death?

Sims 3.. Hmmm...now that I think about it I do, Victor killing all the one jerk that beat up his girlfriend.  Although the death it’self wasn’t much I was happy the jerk was dead.   Sims 4...I had one of my sims go over to another sims house who’s son had murdered my sim’s daughter.  I had him kill her with mortification/embarrassment.  It amused me and gave me some satisfaction.  And one save I killed Mortimer Goth by over exertion because I wanted room in the house and he was in the way.

Alpha CC or Maxis Match?

Sims 3 Alpha cc for sure.  Sims 4 Maxis match.  The two art styles of each game don’t always look good when used in game so I stick with what I find aesthetically pleasing and “correct” to me.

Do you cheat when your sims gain weight?

Sometimes when it’s taking too damn long to get their weight down.  Now if only there was an actual cheat in real life...I could seriously use it right now!

Do you use move objects?

Yes.

Favorite mod?

NRAAS Master Controller for Sims 3. MC Command Center for Sims 3.  I can’t imagine the games with out them.  Bonus mod: Shimrod’s “Everything is Fine” and the “Less smiling” mod.  Seriously.

First expansion/game/stuff pack you got?

Sims 3...uh...I honestly can’t remember.  The first store bought world I remember getting is Monte Vista.  I love that world, it is really beautiful.

Do you pronounce “live mode” like aLIVE or LIVing?

Live...as in “alive”.  I’m not saying anything else.

Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made?

I have a lot of sims that I have made over that are my favorites.  I like them all but for different reasons.

Have you made a simself?

Hell no.  I have enough ugly sims running around in my game, I really don’t want to look at another one ;-D.

What sim traits do you give yourself?

Grumpy, animal lover, artistic, perceptive and loner

Which is your favorite EA hair color?

I don’t really have one. I know that in Sims 4 they REALLY need to add more colors or a way to customize the hair colors.

Favorite EA hair?

I don’t have one. It depends on the personality I’m giving the sim in either game.

Favorite life stage?

I don’t have a preference, depends on what I’m doing.

Are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay?

I am mostly for game play but I do enjoy decorating and sometimes building. The game is one of the things that helps keep me sane.

Are you a CC creator?

No. I am a collector.

Do you have any simblr friends/a sim squad?

I interact with folks on line but I wouldn’t say I know them personally.  I am the type of person that will just observe...I guess at times I’m simply a “lurker”.  But I do enjoy seeing what other people are up to.

What’s your favorite game? (1, 2, 3, or 4)

I have only played TS3 and TS4 and I enjoy them both.  I would love to try TS2, I understand that it’s pretty awesome and has the better AI compared to the other versions.

Do you have any sims merch?

No.

Do you have a YouTube for sims?

No.  I do like watching LPs and Speed Build videos before going to bed, there is something relaxing about it and I will zonk right out.

How has your “sim style” changed throughout your years of playing?

I have a better understanding of both games but I still play the same: they are my digital doll houses and I play them as such with their own stories and lives...kind of like when I played with my real dolls as a child.

What’s your Origin ID?

Ah...that will remain a mystery, won’t it?

Who’s your favorite CC creator?

Ah jeeze, there are several.  Sims 3 is InkWisteria (children’s hair), Cazy, Praline Sims, S-Club, Beaverhausen, Buckley, Brntwaffles, Rusty, kijiko..the list goes on. Sims 4: Most of the folks above, Ms. Blue, Screaming Mutard, LumiaLover, Kiarazurk, simplesimmer, ebonix, pinkzombiecupcake, Pyxis, RemusSirion, Golyhawhaw...the list goes on.  Seriously, I would have to copy and paste my mods folder.

How long have you had a simblr?

I think about a year and half?

How do you edit your pictures?

I use Picasa mostly to just adjust the contrast and sometimes the light.  I use SweetFx in TS4 so a lot of my editing is taken care of.  For TS3, I takes a bit more care.  

What expansion/game/stuff pack do you want next?

I own all the stuff for TS3.  For TS4, I own everything to date but what I am looking forward to is the Pets expansion.  This iteration is a different spin from the previous and I’m curious to see what they do with them and I miss having digital pets. I also want werewolves and witches added to the game.  So yeah...I’m waiting for a couple things.  I am not too worried about anything.

What expansion/game/stuff pack is your favorite so far?

TS3 I besides loving Monte Vista, I really enjoy playing in Bridgeport and Moonlight Falls, I like the store bought worlds a lot too.  TS4...it’s just stuff added to the game so really not quite as exciting as a huge open world to expand in.

A-Z meme

Tagged by @hyperkaos and I thank you!

Rules: Copy this post into a new text post, remove my answers and put in your own. when you are done tag up to 10 people….most importantly, have fun!

a / age: 49....going on 1000.... b / biggest fear: Not being able to afford paying for things...hence I work 6 days a week. c / current time: 10:23 pm d / drink you had last: Beer...my favorite Bear Republic Racer 5. e / everyday starts with: my first alarm going off and me turning if off and falling back to sleep, waking up at the second alarm and then the cats wake me up so I can feed them and give medicines to the beasties. f / favorite song: Hmmm...I have many but I haven’t listened to music in months.  First songs that pop in my head would be “Burning beard” by Clutch and “Beyond the Realms of Death” by Judas Priest.  Not the absolute faves but they run through my head sometimes.  g / ghosts are real? That would be a “YES”.   h / hometown: The Bay Area...that’s would be central California. i / in love with: Romantic wise...I have no love for anyone.  For critters and people I deem friends, my heart is bottomless. j / jealous of: not a single damn person.  I simply don’t give a crap. k / killed someone: in my mind ALL the time. l / last time you cried: I got a bit misty today watching the last part of Grimm, it was about aging and it was kind of sad and a bit touching to me. n / number of siblings: 2 sisters from my bio-dad (one’s dead), 1 sister from bio-mom and a step brother and sister.  I don’t talk to any of them.  I actually don’t speak with any of my biological family.  I have nothing to say. o / one wish: I have wishes sometimes but instead of “wishing” about something, I would far prefer figuring out how to make it happen and not rely on “wishing”. p / person you last called/texted: A patient at work.  I hate the phone and don’t use it at home. q / questions you’re always asked: "Are my disability forms done yet?” “What’s your name again?”  “Who am I speaking with?”  “Do you have a bathroom?”  “Can I make an appointment?”  These are what I hear constantly. s / song last sang: A songs I made up and sing to my pets in the tune of “Banana fana fo fana” and “You are my sunshine”.   u / underwear colour: neutral shades v / vacation destination: What is this “vacation” you speak of?  I haven’t had one of those...well shit, in decades. w / worst habit: Procrastinating...this is a thing for me. x / xrays you have had: The one’s I’ve taken or the one’s I’ve personally had? y / your favourite food: Well...beer is food so beer.  And coffee...I like coffee too.  I also like tap water...and chicken nachos.  I like those too.  And I adore tea eggs.  I like a lot of stuff. z / zodiac sign: Virgo but I don’t necessarily act like one.  What would be the one for a hermit like a-hole that likes the company of animals over people? (Well, except for folks on the internet, since I don’t have to deal with them face to face-that’s always better for me.  I’m just sick of looking and talking to people by the time I leave work).

tagging: Nobody, if you would like to do this then feel free :-)
