25 Years?

Sorry that I’ve been MIA lately. I’ve done got myself addicted to The Sims™ 2 again. Later this month, the expansion pack ”FreeTime” is coming out. Man, I wish I could get that one — I’m all about the hobbies! I’m actually a couple of EPs behind still. I was hoping to pick up a couple cheap during CompUsa’s closing, but software was the first to go and it didn’t even go cheap. People are such suckers. Even at “Liquidation Prices,” I could still get those games cheaper on Amazon or eBay. Just wasn’t meant to be yet.

I got a “Save the Date” email from my high school’s reunion committee yesterday. Our 25th reunion has been scheduled for mid-July 2009. How in the heck did I get old enough to be coming up on a 25 year high school reunion? I was looking through some pictures from past reunions on the Gateway High School Class of ‘84 page that they have set up (I’ve yet to attend one) and it’s weird seeing people that kind of resemble people I kind of knew back then. I know I’ve written about it on here somewhere before, but I feel really detached from my past. I know I went through those experiences, but for some reason, I don’t have any “feelings” associated with them. It’s really hard to explain, but even now I feel oddly disconnected from my life.

Anyway, I decided I will probably go to this one if the funds are available. The people I would really like to see probably won’t be there (most of them haven’t been to any reunions either), but maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised. It’s pretty cliche, but I definitely need to get myself in better shape before I attend. I don’t want to be the one that every points at and says, “Gee, look at how fat she got!” If they even remember me, that is.

In other news, I’m still sick. Argh! Positive health vibes coming my way from anybody that reads this would be greatly appreciated. I’ve got crud in my upper chest that just won’t let loose. I’m so tired of coughing. It was really bad today because the pollution levels are pretty high. Other than that, I’m feeling pretty good.

I have a profile on Ravelry (you’ll only be able to see it if you’re a member). If you haven’t heard, it’s an online community for knitters and crocheters. I’ve been chatting with a woman that runs the Parker Stitch N’ Bitch group and I’m thinking I’ll head down one of these days and join in.

OK, that’s about it for now. Being sick, Sims and work is about all that’s going on right now. Oh, the days are getting longer and that makes me happy.

Freetime's going to be great ... now if I could just buy a little freetime so I can play it, that would be awesome. I looked at Comp USA (AKA the Evil Empire) for some of the Stuff Packs, but all they had was Mac and that does me noooo good, and you're right, their prices were CRAP.

We didn't make our 5 yr college reunion and I have never even heard about a HS reunion. I may have gotten lost in the shuffle though because I graduated a year early and wasn't really a member of either class .. I am coming up on 10 years!!

Is there a new sim pack for SIMS again? Whoah!!!that is really great. I remember before that I got addicted in playing this sort of games as well as Age of Empires and currently I tend to become addicted again after not playing for long time already. It seems that there is some strange feeling and desire to play this sort of games after long time not playing it.

I'm waiting for that one, too! Actually, there's one other one I haven't gotten yet - Bon Voyage. Kayley got so crazily addicted, I had to uninstall it from her computer, so I haven't felt good about playing it myself much lately.
