I know I told some people I was going to make an angry post, but I didn't. Because.
I was playing my game The Movies... okay wait no let me start at the beginning.
We watched Madagascar on Saturday (I. LOVE. THAT. FILM.) and it made me want to play Zoo Tycoon. So I went to my room to get Zoo Tycoon and it was tragically missing from its case. The only other game I had was The Movies, so I put it in my computer and started playing that instead. Then, tonight, during Heroes (um I didn't even pay that much attention, which is a bad sign) I got it out again and was mostly doing stuff during commercials. And Kat was like, "That reminds me of the Sims!"
Now, I had never played the Sims before, so Kat decided I needed to see them. She got hers out, and before either of us knew what we were doing I'd badgered her into making little Sims of my boys from my novel. And we worked for ages on getting their looks right (fun fact: Richmond would look ridiculous with a mohawk and in some hairstyles he starts to look like Joan Jett) and then she made them roommates and built them this adorable little house with a piano. And then some aliens came to visit and they almost got bit by a werewolf and within two days (two hours-ish, our time) she had made it go from Richmond being annoyed at Julian's piano-playing to them "making woohoo" which was the most hilarious and awkward thing I'd ever seen.
And the best part? Was that Julian's personality was somehow dead-on. He would be in the midst of wooing Richmond and suddenly feel the need to start a waterballoon fight with the neighbours. He often got urges to jump on couches and he always sulked when Kat told him to clean up after himself. At one point Richmond was brooding in the kitchen and Julian was in a hot tub with some strangers, and Kat goes, "Wait, what? Julian got in the hot tub? Then you're getting in too, buddy!" and drags Richmond over there. Also she gave them a big giant canopy bed with leopard print sheets.
The moment they fell in love little hearts popped out of their heads and harp music played. And then Richmond immediately decided he wanted to get engaged to Julian. At other points they had pillow fights and tickled each other. You guys. You guys, it was so beautiful.
When the Sims 3 comes out I am BUYING that thing.
I will make the Doctor and I will make my friends and I will make characters from Les Mis you guys. And I will get bored with it really fast. And I will still somehow manage to let it keep me from my homeworks.
