Hello to everyone.
This is only my second ever forum posting (the first was to sign up for a challenge here) and at 25 years of age that seems to be an anomaly in this day and age. But then again, I didn't start playing computer games until the summer after my 5th year of university (2 years ago). My then boyfriend, now husband, got me hooked on The Sims 2. That September, when he and his computer moved some 10 hours away for university I had him get me The Sims 1 because the withdrawal was awful, that and my laptop couldn't run The Sims 2.
When we got married this past August (almost 1 year!), and he and his computer moved in, I discovered he had switched over to Windows Vista and the system refused to run The Sims 2. Needless to say I didn't need much convincing when, a few months later, he brought up the idea to buy a new laptop and retire mine. Since the new laptop could run The Sims 3 we bought it (he wasn't such a fan of sharing his shiny toy - the PC.) Now, not a week goes by that I don't play The Sims 3. WA was a gift from my husband for getting a new job, High-End Loft Stuff was a gift to myself for ... well, just because. A girl doesn't always need a reason, does she?
Okay, so this is getting long enough. On a more personal note: I live in Canada, I speak 2 languages fluently and have the beginnings of a third, I'm a newly-wed, the second oldest in a family of 8 children, I hold 2 university degrees, I spend most of my time at work (or so it seems), and I dream of owning a miniature German Shepard.
