Have you ever created a Sim that's just so dreamy, you wish they were real? Have you? HAVE YOU?!

If someone were to ask me if I currently had beef with a fictional animated anthropomorphic monkey child from a TV show I watched as a kid, my answer would be, "Abso-fucking-lutely!"
Because believe me, it's on sight with this bitch.

One of the Sims I lost when I accidentally deleted my Forever World was Timi Vaai. He's back! I think I recaptured his vibe pretty well, but with some subtle differences. I think I made him look a little cuddlier.

As someone with mental illness, there's nothing that pisses me off more than the word "just". Don't you dare fucking say that word to me.
JUST exercise. JUST be positive. JUST don't think about it.
I will JUST kick your ass. Don't play with me.

I really wish Microsoft would stop hounding me to upgrade to Windows 11. I do not want Windows 11. Bitch, I didn't even want Windows 10.
Leave me alone.

I'm not even gonna lie. I cried over this. But I've grieved and now it's time to rebuild, redecorate, and re-CAS! I'm taking this as an opportunity to make things even better than before...and an opportunity to remind my stupid ass to make backups of EVERYTHING.

I just experienced my worst nightmare. I accidentally deleted the save that houses my Forever World.
I have a backup, but it's almost 2 months old. So, that means almost 2 months of building, decorating, and CAS'ing are just...gone.
I'm crushed, but I'm rebuilding. 😞

Conversations With Ethan!
Ethan: "You're such a Velcro husband."
Me: "I am so offended that you would say such a thing! First of all, I'm *way* clingier than Velcro. I'm more like a *super glue* husband."

This is me ranking each of The Jacksons in their Victory album photoshoot.
Forgive me and forgive my...random voice. No one asked for this, but I don't care. Indulge me. I'm unemployed and bored. 🤣
Also! The song in the background is one I made!

I hereby apologize to anyone I've ever told to grow up because they had negative reactions to the word "moist". I always said no word has the power to make you feel THAT uncomfortable. But that was until the word "goon" entered the mainstream, and I realized...yes. Yes it does.
I'm so sorry, y'all.

I hate the way things that used to feel so normal are so difficult now. Leaving my apartment feels like jumping off a cliff into robot shark-infested water. I feel so foolish.
