Today, while playing The Sims 2, I realized I had a virtual person's whole life planned out, and have nothing planned out for myself. FML

Today, I made a Sim of myself and had her work out until she was completely fit, then got her a job and a husband. Meanwhile, I sat at my desk, fat, single, and jobless. FML

Living in another world

Today, I played The Sims just so I'd know what it was like to live alone, own a home, and have a well-paying job that didn't slowly kill me from the inside out. It was the happiest I've been in months. FML

Today, I spent a good hour playing a life simulation game so my character could go through the stages of pregnancy and labor, only to jealously cry for an hour because my character can successfully get pregnant and have a baby, and I can't. FML

Today, I woke up to find The Sims 2 running on pause on my laptop. I unpaused to find my character and my boyfriend's were no longer together. Slightly confused, I went on to find the note my boyfriend left. It said, "I hope you can take a hint." I got dumped through a computer game. FML

Today, my son was playing The Sims, when I saw him remove the door to a room and set it on fire with a Sim trapped inside. I chuckled at first, until I saw that the Sim was me. Meanwhile, my wife's Sim was happily painting in the next room, not giving a crap. All too accurate, sadly. FML

Happy place

Today, my husband of ten years was playing the Sims. I asked him about the house he built. Apparently, it was his dream house, and he recreated himself as a Sim so he could live in it. Then I asked him where the wife was. There was no wife. It was his happy place. FML

I could tell you to get off your fat ass and do something other then play sims, but then I'd be a hypocrite.

YDI, I love the Sims, I played it when I was younger. It's a great game. But when your Sim's life is better than your own you gotta get to work on your life.

YFDI (You F***ing Dumb Idiot) -_- LOL No I'm kidding, I just find it funny you can play with "FML" or "FYL" or "YLIF" or "YDI" or "YFDI" eic. :P I use to be like this when I played a lot of RPGs. But if you apply this sort of planning to life, it can benefit you :)

stop whining. Planning your life is stupid because you never know what's ahead.

Heh, I started working out all the time and studying hard because of the Sims. Always time to change. If you don't do anything about it, then YDI. Damn, I just realized that I turned into that bearded guy I made in Sims 1 who lives in a small studio, chugging down coffee to boost energy and working hard at a computer based job. At least he had a happy ending.

Is it bad that this makes me want to get the Sims game? XD Seriously, it sounds awesome. I'm totally going to get the new one when it comes out. o/

Today, while at the restaurant I work at, a bunch of kids came in. They all gave incredibly complex orders, laughed at everything I did, and made a huge mess by "spilling" hot sauce and water all over the floor. After they left, I was tipped eleven cents. FML
