Hi, I'm Rebecca. I'm 2225 years old and originally from Leicestershire (UK), and I now live in NottinghamshireWarwickshire, an incredible twenty miles away from the town where I grew up and where my family still live. InI Julywas 2012a Istudent graduated fromat the University of Nottingham withfrom a2009 BAto in English2014, and I'mstudied nowthere backboth atas thean sameundergraduate universityand studyinga forpostgraduate.

For five years I amwas an active member of my university's Science Fiction & Fantasy Society. and, more recently, its Science Fiction Reading Group, which pretty much sets the pattern for most of my down-time: I love collecting and reading books; (I'm into most genres but my favourites are SF&F, horror, mystery, and classics.); and I like superherotales moviesof superheroes, lowspooky-as-opposed-to-budgetgory horror, and big-budgetambitious sci-fi, andeither althoughon Ithe don'tbig watchor muchsmall TVscreen, anybut morepreferably I'mboth, aone madlyafter devotedthe fan of a few great shows right nowother. I am a pescetarian and I love travelling, both in the UK and abroad, and although frequently I find a place I like and keep returning to it, I try to work in something new every now and then as well. And I am a huge ''Sims ''fan, of course.

I've been playing ''Sims ''since the original game was released in the UK when I was 10 years old. I've played both ''The Sims'' and ''The Sims 2'' with all their expansion packs/stuff packs. I'm a little way behind on my collection of ''The Sims 3'' since my old laptop wasn't quite up to spec to run it, but now I'm havealmost acaught newup computernow, I'mand hopinghope to catchdo up.so  Iby alsothe owntime ''The Sims 2: Castaway4'' andis ''MySimsreleased ''onnext Wii,year. I thealso originalown consoleall trilogythree on PS2 (of ''The Sims/Bustin' Out/The UrbzStories '')games,''The Sims Stories'' and both ''The Sims Medieval '',games the latter(some of whichmy Ifavourites, especiallyfor loveobvious becausereasons), Iand cana passfew itconsole offspin-offs asfor courseworkPS2 revision inand the right lightWii. I own quite a few other games too but, let's be honest, with a ''Sims ''collection that huge I'm only very occasionally going to dip in and out of them. They include a bunch of ''Tomb Raider ''and ''Silent Hill'' games, some ''Marvel Avengers'' and ''DC Superheroes'' adaptations, and quite a bit of stuff centred around either Lego or Sherlock Holmes. The day they make that crossover I may well be in geeky heaven. :P

I chose my username because "''Much Ado About Nothing"'' is my favourite Shakespeare play. Beatrice and Benedick are such an interesting couple, I've never really understood why the ''Sims'' writers chose to make their namesakes siblings... but maybe that's just me, I'm kind of a purist when it comes to my favourite writers.

*[[Same-sex relationshipsrelationship]] - I like to have about 10%-20% of my Sims in same-sex relationships (mirroring the real-life statistics) and I did a lot of work on this page when it was new.
