About me
Hi, everyone...fellow simmers, I'm guessing! Just so that I don't seem so anonymous, I suppose I'll give a little information about myself. Enjoy!
 * I live in America's Historic Triangle! It's a pretty cool place to live. It's in Williamsburg, Virginia (in the United States, duh). It's called America's Historic Triangle because it's the three oldest towns in the country (even older than Philly or Boston): Jamestown (the oldest, where the British landed in 1607), Yorktown, and Williamsburg.
 * I'm a (relatively) normal American 16-year-old girl, who drives and texts and sleeps in and always wears jeans and says 'idk' and 'omg' on a constant basis :)
 * I'm African-American, with a little Native American mixed in. I'm not going to post a picture here, but I kind of look like a mix of the two: long black hair, high cheekbones, tan skin, almond shaped eyes, and a strong jawline. I'm very pretty :), but people often have trouble figuring out what race I am because of my features- for example, my eyes are shaped like those of Asians. It's not really a big deal, but sometimes people do outright ask what race I am. I've been told I look like I'm from Trinadad, the West Indies, like I'm Indian...I guess that's the best way to put it. I look Indian, but I'm not. There you go :).
 * I've been playing the Sims for maybe about 3 or 4 years, so I'm relatively new compared to some people. I've never played the Sims 1, but a friend introduced me to TS2 (actually 2), and now I play TS3. I have World Adventures, and I'm planning on getting Ambitions when it comes out. That way Mortimer can be both a mad scientist and an inventor! Mortimer and Bella are my favorite Sims, by the way.
 * I know a lot of people like to make up their families and worlds and whatnot, but I actually like playing Sunset Valley- I don't have much interest in making a world, and I'm only going to simify myself and my fam for my legacy challenge (or attempt at it, anyway). There are pretty much only 5 families I play: Landgraab, Alto, Goth, Bachelor, and Crumplebottom. Everybody else I don't care about. :)
 * Ummm...let's see...besides the Sims, which I love, there are a lot of things I love to do for fun. I love to read, especially classic books and Shakespeare (I don't like the gossipy teen pop books), I love art, I like photography, and movies, and traveling. I love music- I'm listening to music all the time- and I like hanging out with my friends. Sometimes I like shopping; usually it's boring. Oh, and now that I can drive, I drive all the time. I think I want a convertible so I can feel the wind through my hair...
 * Here's where I get nerdy: I like learning about a lot of things- not everything, but most things. That's probably why I read so much. And I'm into a lot of things you probably don't care about, like philosphy, evolutionary psychoogy, and sociology. I'll admit it, I can be brainy. Even with that nerdiness, I have great friends (who love me nonetheless), and I love parties!! Probably the best parties I went to were the elite ones at the Mariott in Times Square, in NYC last summer. I also enjoyed my friend Rachel's sweet 16 :)
 * Above all, I love writing. And not to toot my own horn, but I'm pretty darn good at it. In middle school, I was the editor-in-chief of the paper, and just this past year I was editor-in-chief of my high school newspaper. I really do love journalism. One day, I'd like to be CNN's chief international or politcal correspondent. That's my dream job! It would totally combine my loves or meeting new people, traveling, learning about new things and new places, and writing.
 * And speaking of that, the loftiest goal I entertain concerning that is working my way up to a leadership position. I've been to the CNN headquarters in Atlanta, and I can totally see myself in a power suit in that corner office!
 * And THAT has to do with my other interests- things you wouldn't really expect a 16 year old girl to care about. Part of my adoration of high-profile journalism has to do with my interests in business, politics, and world affairs. How many teenage girls do you know who know how stocks work and who are keeping up to date on the national health care, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", and Proposition 8 controversies?? :)
