Wasting Time with The Sims

Another little known fact about me: I am obsessed with The Sims! I own both generations with a complete set of expansion packs for each generation.

Why do I bring this up? you ask...well on June 2 The Sims 3 gets released, and I'm jumping for joy. Guess what my evenings are going to be spent doing (after cleaning of course!). In general I'm a bit of a video game nerd anyway, but I've been hooked on the Sims titles since my aunt bought me the little known title "SimAnt" nearly 20 years ago. I still have it on my ancient Apple, and whenever I go home I bust out a game of SimAnt and Oregon Trail.

When I was younger I was socially awkward, and didn't make friends easily. When the Sims originally came out it was a way for me to live vicariously through them. After that point I just couldn't stop, so when The Sims 2 came out, I had to get it, it was revolutionary in is own right. But now, NOW--oh boy, I'm like a kid at Christmas, who was just told that not only do I get the bike I wanted, but I also get a pony and the Barbie Dream House. June 2 cannot get here fast enough for me, I spend all of my spare time on the Sims 2 forums looking at all the latest rumors, pictures, video clips, interviews, and information...I have a disease, but it's a disease I like, lol!
