My Newest Blog Addiction

I plow through favorite blogs on a never-ending, ADHD-fueled cycle. One week it’s Why Women Hate Men, the next it’s Fuck You, Penguin, and this week it’s Alice and Kev.

A game design student in the UK has created a homeless Sims family, and documents their struggles (with screenshots) on this blog. So what’s it like when you’re chronically exhausted from sleeping on a park bench, hungry and angry with some form of mental illness and no social skills? How are you going to relate to your immediate family members and the world at large when none of your basic needs are met? It’s fascinating.

Make sure you read it from the original post onward, as the story is chronological and shows their character development and aging process.

Just Wondering

Why it seems there’s such a strong correlation in my world between the feelings of  “Oh, I really like you!” and “Oh, I would really like to punch you in mouth!”

Perhaps I just have a tendency to like really, really aggravating people.

Or maybe I am mentally 5 years old.

Or both.
