Well, as you may have realised, i didnt write an article yet, and its been bugging me all day. So, to all my fans out there (i wish), my apoligies. The main reason i didnt write yesterday was because i recieved 'The Sims 2' in the post. So far, im addicted to it. I dont know whether i've changed, or whether it is the expansion, but the game seems much better then when i just got The Sims 2 by itself last spring. I hope im not alone in saying this, but the first thing i did was create myself. I guess it kind of encourages you to make sure this sim does well. It is nice to be able to create yourself and becoem successful in a game. The game is very well made, and seeing that the expansion comes out tommorow, im hoping that will be good as well. I guess thats one of the main attractions of online games, especially mmorpgs. You're behind a mask, nobody knows who you are. While you still give away some things, like age, and the country you live in, the actual person there is usually left unknown. I like being in clans for this reason. When i used to play Socom 2, i was in a clan for a long time,and i've stayed in contact with the other members. When you are online, you are yourself, but because it is only your voice or what you type, the person at the other end will fill out the blanks themselves, even if it is completely inaccurate. Though i think i can safely say, that strong traits, such as jealousy , can usually be picked up, so there is a certain amount of accuracy to the assumptions. I dont think i've talked about school at all, so, i think ill say a bit about it. I'm currently doing my A-levels in Maths, Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Accellerated Maths. I have to say, now that the classes are much smaller, i catch on to what i am being taight much quicker. I have started to enjoy, rather then just live with them. And i really like the fact that i feel trusted now, that the teacher is no longer an overbearing figure, but someone who wants to help you, and someone you can talk to... In the three days i have had 1 panic attacks, and 5 minor spurts of worry. So, all in all, thats pretty good going. I'll admit, i stress out a bit too much, and usually ill just keep it to myself, which probably makes it worse. I've already got a few grey hairs! Just a reminder that devstation is going on at the moment, so dont forget that some info might be released if we are lucky. Very lucky... For all the people in the US, dont forget the time difference...
