As I wrap up the plays I have been working on, I still take breaks by fooling around with The Sims 2. Some of you may remember I used the Sims to work out some of the things about Esther, and once I tried to work on Will by using Sims 2 - but I didn't seem to want to go back into his issues this way. Too painful to go back into his particulat brand of repression, since I seem to be revisiting it in this life.

Yesterday I decided to make a modern Will, and see what he wanted to do - see if a simulated Will might go for something I had been avoiding or missing.

Yep - right off the bat.

My Sim character, female, just wants continually to settle down with a Sim Pembroke - but I eventually get bored with that. Will just roared right off the bat.

Did he want Pembroke? No...women....and babies....

My sim male self has got two of them preggers already and I feel amazingly satisfied by that. Happy as a clam. Can't wait to see how the kids turn out.

My female sim - no babies. Tried, didn't like it. Gave them away like pups.

It is so odd how our male and female ideas of self can be so different...

I should be so ashamed of myself .... but I'm not!

Which explains how I became Christian Bayer in the life after Will, happily bonking his way through Bavaria and Austria...

Are we not happy unless we break SOME rules? Do we look for the opposing things in ourselves in order to be really happy?

Do I even begin to make sense here?

My Sims died when my pc did 2 weeks ago! I was heart broken. I had three generations in the same home. GRRR! I love Sims!
I always like to create female domintated families.

I once made a past life Sim movie.
Which was a lot of work and it was so...real.
But my pc crashed and then I lost it.

I tried to make another one, but that was just too much work.
It's not good for my nerves such games
I also have a past life character walking around in second life.
But since he wears jeans he looks too modern

Spotted!... Up to his old tricks again on the streets of Caledon... call the newspapers! Ah, can't they appreciate that the ol' boy is merely in search of a fine espresso and the news to read, perhaps even at that lovely Cafe around the corner.

In a dark corner of his brain, a strange thought keeps twisting around his tendrilata... "Who uploaded my face?," he thinks... "What could that even mean?"...

LOL!

That's beautiful, Rau!

I wish I had time for Second Life, but I've been too busy living four lives at a time right now... ;D

Oh, thank you, Sandra... and you're smart if you can stay away... as addictive as hell, but there's value (beyond fun) if one can turn it back into how one conducts one's real life... I'm learning to find some of that.

Best.

Like keeping those bars filled and gaining knowledge.
I wish I could live my life a bit more like my sims. If I could just turn the aging off, have the motherlode cheat and work like he.. to fufill all my knowledge before I go to the working world. Oh I forgot, and to be able to do it all in fast forward. Ohhhh wouldn't in be loverly?

Aye, indeed it would... but there is a part of me that says that I'm going at just the right speed... but, indeed, it would!

Your right. I think my wish for speed comes from everything going too slowly for me and all the waiting I have been doing. We have been fighting w/ the insurance company for the last three months. What does the symbol in your avatar mean?

You know I downloaded Second Life but never tried to actually play it. Would be a good place to try out Past Life personas or roleplay the opposite sex .

It's the symbol of the Vulcan religion in Star Trek, but I find some ostensibly-other religious meanings (including reincarnation) in it as well and most surprisingly -- though I may have come across it when I was very young -- I had the idea of designing jewelry that was very similar to this and suggestive of a road proceeding toward one out of the Sun or of a pyramid topped by the Sun... then I saw the symbol in an episode of Star Trek that I could not recall having seen before! It was a Vulcan symbol and I, a great fan of Spock, hadn't even realized it.

It's called the IDIC, which stands for Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations.

I like it. I was a Next Generation fan myself. I am an empath and Diana Troy was my fave.
My ex always called her the noes cause the noes knows. I lived about 30 minutes from Riverside Iowa, the birth place of William Shattner. Every summer they have a Trek Fest, we would sit in a sweltering barn and watch the original Star Trek. My fave episode was The Trouble With Tribbles. LOL

Actually, I'm making the effort -- it's hard work! -- to roleplay both sexes in one (hermaphrodism). This seems so much more transgressive (or perhaps opportunistic!) of what appears to be the main engine of Second Life (and life in general). I enjoy dropping bombs, it seems.

I'm coming up with a whole culture for these creatures, which, don't ya know, are reptilian... couldn't resist on that front.

Best.

Sounds inmteresting. So you can create aliens or hermaproditic creatures as well?

Oh, absolutely. What makes Second Life so wonderful is that it's like a giant sandbox with a pail full of built-in tools that allow people to bring in creativity from a multitude of angles. When, from some of these basic tools, one gets to using the added-value tools or creations of others (usually for a price), it's possible, regardless of one's own ability, to leverage oneself into some pretty heady realms.

If you or anybody else should ever want a tour of the place from a green, seven-foot-tall winged serpent thingy with golden eyes and fangs, feel free to drop on by.
