I have finally started playing the Sims 2.
I have four families.
Jim and Kate Windes, and Kate's father Air live on 60 Element Ave. They just had a son, named James, who has grown into an adorable toddler.
Jai and Carson Blaze, and Carson's mom, Fire, live at 62 Element Ave. Jai and Carson have recently adopted a little baby girl, whom they named Hannah. Hannah just had her birthday and is now a toddler.
Jeff and Casey Aquarius live at 64 Element Ave with Casey's dad, Water. They have just given birth to twin boys, Bryan and Kyan, and are currently raising them into toddlers.
Kelly and Lisa Terra live at 66 Element Ave with Lisa's mother, Earth. They have not yet adopted any children. However, Earth and Water have a little something going on 9tehy were recently caught down at the community lot in the jacuzzi...although I don't think they were relaxing....if you know what I mean...
Stay tuned as I continue to play goddess with my little sim families...I must say, I was extrordinarily excited to have twins!

Survivor and the Amazing Race
Boy is this season putting me in a bad mood.
First, I am desperate that Survivor, (once my favorite show but now has officially sucked for two seasons in a row), will do something to impress this season. I am holding out hope, but I just don't know...
(Have you heard my idea yet Survivor people??? Here is a recap!
18 Survivors. 3 teams of six.
No mixing up teams or swirching folks or changing to two tribes. Keep it at the 3 original teams until the merge.
THEN, once the merge hits, if tribes stay along tribal lines, cool....because they will have to team up with another team to dominate...there will be no one team eats the other becasue there will be a third element...a third block of votes...)
Survivor starts tonight, so we shall see.
Second, Amazing Race announced the next season starts in two weeks. Could I be much happier when I hear this? Not really...as Amazing Race is now more of a favorite than Survivor...and then, in a blink of an eye, my elation turns to shock, revulsion, and sunk into what has now become anger and depression. Sigh. Rob and Amber. From Survivor.
Just ro recap: Rob is the guy who on two seasons played the exact same lying, back stabbing game, and still made it to second place in All Stars
(Um hello, All Stars, did you not see the other seasons??? Did you really let someone play the exact same game and make it to second place? All Stars, you should be ashamed. You learned NOTHING.)
Now, Rob wasn't the sneakiest, dirtiest player on the block, but after a while, his likability just wore off. I hate a man who is full of himself.
Amber is the chick who on two seasons played the exact same "sit in the shadows and ride on someone else's coat tails so that they look like the bitch or the ass while she just looks like the niave little lost girl that she is, unable to make her own decisions" and still won All Stars
(Um, hello, All Stars...did you not see the other season? Did you really let people play the exact same game and not split up the two of them when you had the chance? Did you learn nothing? Have I mentioned that you should be ASHAMED to have called yourself All Stars?)
Amber is the most annoying player on the planet, becasue she didn't DO anything. She didn't even actively fly under the radar. She just walked around like a big ditz in a bikini doing everything she was told.
So now, I have to suffer through the Amazing Race with Rob and Ambah (Not a mis type. That schmuck Rob can't even pronounce her name correctly.) Lord help me. My only hope is that they are off early...like the Big Brother couple form two seasons ago. Is the first episode too much to ask for?
And to top it off Enterprise is being canceled.
Let's Pray for a good season of American Idol.

Sick Days and Mormons
Hi all!
I have been hit with a pretty bad cold the last few days and I am finally feeling human again. Taking a sick day is such a pain int he ass becasue you have to make sub plans anyway...and they are more trouble then they are worth. Sigh.
So I have officially staryed my Final Masters Project. Topic? Internet Resources for the Steps of the Writing Process. Yipee! I have chapter one done and I am on my way to doing chapter 2. Sort of. I have lots of research that needs to be done.
I have been doing lots of thinking about those Mormons. I watched a moviea few weeks ago called "Latter Days" about an Mormon missionary (Aaron) who falls in love with a "party boy" named Christian. Although the movie has some weak points, in my opinion, with the edits (some scenes, I felt, cut way to quick....without giving time to pause and let the message sink in...) as well as some not so clever dialouge...I really enjoyed the film over all (In fact, I watched it again the next day.) It was very beautiful in that both characters helped the other grow. Most obviously (and heavliy touted in the reviews) Christian helps Aaron come to terms with who he really is, and to except love, even as a homosexual, which he has been taught all of his life is an evil lifestyle. Aaron, however, helps Christian come to terms with his own views of being gay...by letting helping Christian discover his true depth of character and compassion, and his ability to reach out to others.
After watching the movie, i went about my Mormon research, rereading their temple ceremonies and such, and I came upon a website called http://www.exmormon.org that I found fascinating. It relates stories and articles about people who have chosen to leave the Mormon religion and why.
What is it that fascinates me about Mormons? Not the underwear! Seriously. I think because, to truly be a Mormon, you have to be everything that I am not. You have to be someone who doesn't question, who doesn't seek, who doesn't think or quest. Mormons are not to read anti mormon literature. Much of the truth of their religion is hidden from them. Mormons should not ask questions. And for many Mormons, that is fine. It is so different from what I am. I must question, I must analzye. I want to know all, or as much as I possibly can. I can't just except.
Many argue that Ignorance is Bliss. Perhaps, for many, that is the true. And I can understand that. I have stumbled across potential truths that are not happy or positive. But for me, at least I am prepared. I want the truth. I want to know.
