I was tagged by @keoni-chan and @phoebe-twiddle, thank you for thinking of me! :D

How long have you been playing the Sims – Since Hot Date was released? Immortal Elves are old and have no memory of time. It has been a long, long, time.

How long have you been a Simblr, and why did you become one – Let’s see…Tumblr says I’ve been here since Jan. of 2016. Okay, just over 5 years. I wanted an outlet to stalk, er, follow, yes, follow content makers and share in a blog-type space without the pressures of actually blogging. 

What type of Simblr are you – I guess I’m a random TS2 Catholic Foodie What Else Do I Like kind of simblr. I just post what I like, and what strikes me as something I want to remember, see again, or share with others. I don’t have the time or inclination to keep up with side blogs, so it all gets dumped together. You’re welcome? 

Which generation of Sims do you primarily play - Sims 2.  Forever! I played Sims 1 until 2 came out, and I occasionally want to reinstall it. I’ve never played 3 or 4, and don’t really have any interest in them.

Five songs you’ve been listening to on repeat recently?

I’ve been dealing with my depression with a YouTube playlist featuring late 70s Country and DollyStyle. Don’t judge me, it’s gloriously fun.

Last movie you watched?

It was in the before-times. Bad Boys For LIfe, maybe?

Currently watching?

Iron Fist Season 2     #ElvesAreMarvelGirls

Currently Reading?

Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Our Lady of Kibeho by Immaculee Ilibagiza, Directory for Catechesis, Confessions of a Curious Bookseller by Elizabeth Green (it’s awful, but it was free, and I’m finishing it out of stubbornness), Christus Vincit by Bishop Schneider, Theology for Beginners by Frank Sheed, The Sign of the Cross by Bert Ghezzi, and Rescued by Fr. Riccardo (highly recommend!!)

Being tagged does, indeed, make me feel loved!

Last song:  “Feel Good Inc.” as covered by Postmodern Jukebox on the Fake Blues album

Last movie: “Bad Boys For Life”. Yes, I haven’t seen a movie in almost a year. Sigh.

Currently watching: I’m between seasons of “Halt and Catch Fire”. Getting to the tv room has been hard recently, and we got some really good books for Christmas...

Currently reading: “Political Cocaine: How America Got Addicted to the Two-Party System, and How to Intervene” by Art Rude;  “Lost City of the Monkey God” by Douglas Preston; and “Made This Way: How to Prepare Kids to Face Today’s Tough Moral Issues” by Leila Miller and Trent Horn

Currently craving: A hot chocolate with cream and petit chocolate (a chocolate, cream, and red wine liquor I got for Christmas). Super declicious, but not something I can drink before dinner. Alcohol doesn’t help my foot pain.

I was tagged by @phoebe-twiddle, for which I’m very grateful!

Favorite color? Blues. Any shade or hue. Or jewel tones. What can I say? I went to high school in the 80s.

Last song I listened to? The last full song I listened to was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5JjH2OOoNY, which HubbyTMC posted on his Facebook. It’s silly and stupid, and yet, seems to sum up 2020 so far.

Last film I watched? Pre-quarantine, “Bad Boys For Life”. And I missed part of it because I had to find management to get a lady to shut off her phone. SHUT YOUR PHONES COMPLETELY OFF IN THE THEATER, PEOPLE!!!!

Last TV show I watched? HubbyTMC are working our way through Season 1 of “Halt and Catch Fire” and Season 5 of “Marvel’s Agents of Shield”. I think the former was last night’s choice.

Sweet, savory or spicy? All of the above. For dinner tonight, I have a white-and-brown salty vinegary rice prepped, a savory turmeric and spicy oniony swedish meatball in the crockpot, and a Reese’s crunchy peanut butter pie chilling in the fridge. It’s the first time I’ve been able to cook since I got sick in April, and I wanted all the things.

Bubbly water, tea or coffee? Usually I’m a hot tea or cocoa kind of girl, but thanks to my medical team, I’m now all about the bubbly water.

Pets? I’m currently enjoying my pet-free lifestyle, but I’ve had cats, dogs, birds, and geckos. If I were to get another, it’d be parakeets. I sometimes miss mine.

Thanks for the tag @charmandersims ! I do love these! (VainElvesAreVain)

I had dogs, cats, and birds growing up, but HubbyTMC and I both struggle with multiple allergies, so it's not a great idea.
