Livin' Like a Sim

You know what I realized? No, I didn't just realize this now, but I realized it. I realized that while there are a lot of things that, even with custom content, sims don't do that people do in real life, there are a lot of things that they do that really happen in real life. For example:

I try to avoid some conversations in real life, because a bad conversation, even something so little as a bad conversation or a joke gone wrong can seem to 'reduce relationship points', or cause tension or stress in relationships and even cause bad feelings that could, if they worsen, ruin the relationship, so can gifts being rejected, and things like that.

Sometimes though, I find myself living like a sim. I watch my sims skip breakfast and lunch and settle with just dinner, sometimes a very late dinner. I used to find myself doing that a lot too, and will most likely in the future. Some times I still do that. I also find myself, like  my sims, putting off cleaning until it seems like what needs to be cleaned really needs it, and then going on a cleaning spree. And like my sims, I don't tend to wear different clothes every day, though I'm trying to get my sims to do that now. I don't seem to need the social motive filled as often as my sims do, but I still tend to text with someone, call someone or talk to someone on the phone, or at least try to talk to my parents a little bit every day.

I also find myself staying home a lot, which is what my sims tend to do a lot when they're not going out on dates or to buy clothes to fill their wardrobe, and so on and so forth. Now, in the future my sims might be more outgoing, but what's the point of going to a community lot alone? It's just like, what's the point of me going into town alone? I do it occasionally, but it's not something that I'll make a point of every day.

It's weird though, how when I'm not playing the sims or some other video game, I seem to mostly be living like a sim. I watch TV when I'm bored, or even when I'm not. I tend to make my own meals and it usually is something like spaghetti or some sort of pasta, or veggie burgers, or pretty much something I could download as custom content. There's even a pasta and herbs, which is similar to something that I make (it's custom content), and am actually wanting right now, and I find myself baking cakes occasionally too, just not layer cakes. I also tend to order omelettes a lot when I go out to eat. It's funny how this stuff works, isn't it?

There's more to it, but I'm geting some blogger's block. Maybe I'll post more later. I kind of want to write something on a fansite that I'm trying to work on (it's going very slow. I haven't done enough to really put it up as a sims site yet, I think) that tells the differences between sims and real life, and similarities. I wonder if anyone would read it.
