LOL. The last thing I need or want is my own little kids running around and screaming in my home. So... LOL, I am married, but to me, marriage doesn't mean an automatic "have to expand your family" so I told my boyfriend at the time, now my husband, that I don't want kids. Ever. He's okay with it. If he wasn't I wouldn't have married him. ;)<br /><br />LOL yeah, medieval times and all that, like they used to just use girls to have babies. It's sad that people still think that applies in modern times. *rolls eyes*<br /><br />Haha, it amazes me that people always think there are "types" of people, like you have to dress a certain way to "look like" you play video games. LOL. I'm always thinking like what does that even mean? Jesus.<br /><br />Yeah, I always did decently on my track days when I was in grade school, and it was pretty fun. LOL. Aww, haha, it's never too late to start, I mean, I don't play sports anymore, but I do go jogging and I work out almost every day. I totally agree with not living in fear, I don't really fear much, but I think at the same time, it's good to have the skills needed in case danger comes around. I also think like if I'm ever in a movie where I have to pretend like I'm running for my life, I could do it easily if I keep practicing. LOL.LateKnightSimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641353218072486154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-55287605410133539052015-02-02T17:48:25.440-08:002015-02-02T17:48:25.440-08:00OMG I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE! LOL I have very ...OMG I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE! LOL I have very little patience for people sometimes so, I don't really like kids and they're just annoying sometimes...but I hope that in the future I will learn to be more patient because I do have a desire for marriage and children when I'm much much older lol. In my church they say crazy stuff like "Ohh, back then it was normal for 13 year olds to have babies and women shouldn't have jobs today" I actually had a long conversation with them after they said all that...It was heated lol <br /><br />I was having a conversation about video games with some guy and his friend today and he was like "Ohh you don't look like the type to play video games" lol...They're weirdos...<br />You probably would've been good at track too, I wish I could run fast...Hell, I wish I was athletic lol. It's good to be able to run from danger but I try not to live in fear.<br /><br /><br />littlesims2chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12688461785560031787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-51628348833728638442015-02-02T14:51:46.524-08:002015-02-02T14:51:46.524-08:00I know right?

I never fit into the "girl box," because I didn't care if i got married, and I really don't like children. LOL.<br /><br />Well, as of now we don't know what happened to Barry, other than his and Zinfandel's intimacy session was unpleasant. Barry didn't care about Zinfandel's feelings, all Barry cares about is doing his duty to The Compound. But I'm not saying any more because more about that situation is revealed later on. :)<br /><br />Aww, thanks, LOL. Camo and Verona are my first attempt at writing a couple who falls in love. Heehee, Absolon's luck has changed for the better because Verona is a kind girl.<br /><br />LOL, isn't it funny that some people still think girls can't play video games well? XD Haha, it's okay about the basketball thing, no offense taken. I enjoyed it a lot, and I think it was good I did that when I was younger because now I can run pretty easily. All that running back and forth on the basketball court really does good for training me to run fast. LOL. It's only for short distances though, haha, I'm not the best at running long distance.

Yes, women are mo...Wow, this was just...Disgusting. Yes, women are more nurturing but that doesn't mean they have to stay home 24/7 and look after their kids. *Rolls eyes* <br /><br />Barry should've suffered some kind of punishment. It doesn't matter if Zinfandel didn't respond, he still could've asked her if she was okay..That's just common sense and common courtesy, these people are ridiculous. "Oh yeah, I did what she asked but she didn't say anything so I just kept going" *Rolls eyes*<br /><br />Camo and Verona are so cute together. Absolon is finally going to make some money, I'm curious to see where he's living.<br /><br />As far as you and your whole video game situation...I understand! I love playing my ps3 and killing people on GTA and Black Ops and as soon as I get on mic some people curse me out because I'm a girl playing video games..It's funny though. I LOVE violent games. It's pretty cool that you were on the basketball in grade school...I would've never expected you to be into sports (no offense). I always loved doing boys vs girls basketball with my brother and his friends when I was younger and last year I met these guys on a basketball court and eventually I brought my girlfriends and we would do boys vs girls nearly everyday in the summer...There was alot of shit talking lol but it was fun...Goodtimes.littlesims2chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12688461785560031787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-20842687433063296552013-03-28T16:51:04.106-07:002013-03-28T16:51:04.106-07:00Aww, you granny sounds like a great lady! Yeah, I ...Aww, you granny sounds like a great lady! Yeah, I have no idea why in the hell people think that just because society says it "should be" that makes it right? Geez, people seriously need to think for themselves. LOL. The whole "feel safe" thing pisses me off too. I get being safe, and like, surviving, you know, not doing things that would kill me, but being safe by living in a hole because of fear is stupid. The boxes make me sooo uncomfortable! It may work for some, but definitely not for me. I love this quote from the movie Australia:<br /><br />"Just because it is, doesn't mean it should be."LateKnightSimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641353218072486154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-74646344951649426122013-03-28T16:17:13.078-07:002013-03-28T16:17:13.078-07:00I know right?

Thank you Granny for not being into stereotypes despite of being born in 1904! *lol*<br />I guess a lot of people feel comfortable when put into the gender boxes, and safe. Well, chacun a son gout, but it makes me both angry and sad to see someone FORCED into a box >.<annasommerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284760884033582358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-88758067807807635232013-03-27T19:01:29.963-07:002013-03-27T19:01:29.963-07:00Thank you! :) Ugh, gender stereotyping. One of the...Thank you! :) Ugh, gender stereotyping. One of the MOST annoying things in the universe. I will never understand how anyone expects everyone to fit neatly into a pre-made box.<br />LOL, Camo and Verona are really fun to write because generally I'm not the romantic type. I find it fun to show affection in different ways other than being all mushy. People can be blunt and say what's on their mind and still know the other person loves them.LateKnightSimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641353218072486154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-17460897093527792042013-03-27T11:48:45.212-07:002013-03-27T11:48:45.212-07:00Ah, gender stereotyping...so stupid, and so wrong....Ah, gender stereotyping...so stupid, and so wrong. Andthe Compound really does like to draw a hard line between the sexes.<br /><br />I'd like to know more about Barry, actually. We've only gotten other people's interpretations of him. I'd feel differently about him if I thought he intentionally hurt Zin because he was made at her, or if he just didn't care he was hurting her. But, I don't feel like I know for a fact that it wasn't just cluelessness and inexperience on his part.<br /><br />I get so excited whenever it looks like Absolon and Titanium might finally get some time together. So it's nice you let us see them as they are in the present while there is still so much doubt in the past.<br />Camo and Verona really are perfect for each other.yangthecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083940950118677312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-14729113677792276382013-03-27T09:06:10.515-07:002013-03-27T09:06:10.515-07:00Thank you! Sadly, the whole splitting up of gender...Thank you! Sadly, the whole splitting up of genders was based in truth. I often had to endure "women's night," in which I had to sit around and watch dumb romantic comedies, eat chocolate, and talk about flowers, marriage, and babies. *fake throw up* The only part I could tolerate was the chocolate eating. My favorite movie is The Dark Knight, if that says anything about the extreme contrast between me and the box I was put in. I heard that "men's night," was where the boys got together and played basketball or foosball or played Halo (at the time, Halo was the big xbox game). I found this ironic because I played on the basketball team in grade school, and kicked ass at foosball and Halo.<br />This was the point where I became quite like Camo. His character is based off the point in time when I started thinking everything was stupid and took pleasure in making other members feel uncomfortable. I ran off to play xbox at one of the hang out times. I of course got in trouble and was told to come back upstairs with the women, to which I replied, "What is the matter with me liking video games?" I got told it was unnatural for me and that I might tempt the boys by being down there with them. Then I said, "So me shooting them in the face is tempting to them?" They ignored me because they couldn't answer my question and proceeded to talk about flower arrangements. I then replied, "Flowers are stupid." LOL.<br />Verona's character is based off me now, doesn't beat around the bush, doesn't take shit from people, and knows what she wants.<br />The Leader's just a dumbass, based off some dumbass who was in charge back in the day. LOL! <br />Glad you liked it! :)LateKnightSimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641353218072486154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-77425562762357654762013-03-27T07:28:48.280-07:002013-03-27T07:28:48.280-07:00Awww..

As I was reading the differences you made between men and women, I don't think I could've wrote it better myself when it came to a storyline like this. I loved how you described how different they are from one another, but I don't like that they felt like they needed to switch up the teachers.. The female teacher could've easily taught them all of that information, but that's the Compound for you. *rolls eyes* Haha!<br />Ooo and that Leader! I hate him!<br />Verona's awesome, I love how curious she is about Camo and I still love Camo's bluntness, I was so surprised by his reply to her "I think you're hot" lol, so Camo.. But, they're perfect for one another.<br />Can't wait for more! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
