my sim life.

I'm begining to wonder which life is more exciting... My own? Or those of my sims. Yes, lately I've been spending a lot of time playing The Sims 2 and I think I may be having too much fun. I realize how silly it can be to spending hours playing a video game, especially one that is essentially a glourified virtual dollhouse, but for reasons I haven't been able to fully comprehend myself, at times I can't pull myself away from it. It's just strangely satisfying to manipulate the lives of these little Sims. Their lives can be as successful, fun, and as taudry as I want them to be (or quite the opposite if I so choose) and it's just too damn fun to watch it unfold. And actually the best part may just be building them homes to live in rather than playing them in the game. Plus, you can share those homes, or lots as they are called in the game, over the net for all the world have and put in their game too.

That brings me to new obsession number two... I quite possibly may also be spending way too much time on the The Sims 2 website in the message boards and the exchange. But in my defense, what's a person to do when their fixation for something isn't shared by those close to them. And just think a university expansion pack is coming in march, I may never want to live my own life again.
