Hello everyone! Long time no see!
I am pretty late with this, but I’ve been nominated for the Spirit Animal Blog Award by the awesome Ninjapigsims 🙂 (Go check out her blog here!)
I kinda use this as a comeback now, since I’ve missed the Llewellyns pretty much lately 🙂
Rules:
1. Post the award picture on your blog.
2. Write a short paragraph about yourself and what your blog means to you.
3. If you could be any animal, what would you be?
4. Pick ten nominees.
About me and my blog:
I am a 21 year old german girl who absolutely fell in love with The Sims. I’ve played it a few time at my friend’s when I was younger, and I’m not really sure whether it was The Sims or The Sims 2, but I remembered how much I liked it only about 5 years ago, and bought The Sims 3. I loved just playing the game, I didn’t even know there was so much more to it like challenges, custom content and really wonderful communities. I somehow came to Pinstar’s Legacy Challenge, and the recommendations on his website to legacy story tellers. I searched for more, because I loved the idea, and quickly landed in the Writer’s Lounge over at the sims forums 🙂 It took me a while, but I finally started this blog and combined to of the things I loved: playing and writing.
I don’t know when I started writing in general, I only know that became fond of books very early in my life and I’ve always had a great imagination, thinking of stories without writing them down. I remember one time, I was about 6 years old, that I recorded a story on tape at my grandpa’s – he wanted me to think about it first so that I wouldn’t have to pause the record all the time to think, but I just couldn’t, I knew when I just would start talking, the story would come to me. So I lied to him and said “I got one!”, when in reality I didn’t 😉
I also very much like painting and crafting, everything creative, but also stuff I need to use my brain for a lot, like learning new languages, mathematics, chemistry, biology… I’ve always loved learning, I really liked going to school 🙂 Now, after earning money for a while, I will start going to university in autumn, studying ‘language science’ – it’s about how different languages are related and where they come from, and also how we use our language, like how do we use the words to make a joke funny? I’m really looking forward to it 🙂
Enough about me *cough*shortparagraph*cough*, I think I’ve just recently discovered what my blog really means to me. For a while, it was more obligation than anything else. I felt like, since I started this blog, I also need to offer something to my readers. That’s why I just stopped a few months ago – I didn’t even want to play anymore, because I pressurized myself in having to take the perfect screenshots at the perfect time.
In my break I started a legacy on my tumblr, because it was so much easier needing only one picture with a caption – and having finished a whole post with it! Meanwhile, I missed the Llewellyns more and more, but also my writing style here on my blog. I know now, that I made this blog only for myself, only because I love playing and writing. If people like it, they will read my posts, no matter if they are coming once a day or once a month. So my blog means to me an endless pot of creativity, of learning, of getting in touch with a foreign language and experiment with my writing, my playing, and also editing pictures, because they are a big part of my posts 🙂
What Animal I would be:
I’d be a lion. Since my star sign is Leo, I’ve always felt attracted to the king of the animals. I’m not the kind of people who likes being in the spotlight and being all loud, I’m rather in the background. But a lion itself just inspires me, it’s grace, it’s beauty, the way they lead their family… yeah, I’d love to be lion 🙂 I’ve got bushy hair and a broad nose already, so there’s not so much difference 😉
Since I’m very late, I guess most of you have already been nominated and have already postet their award, but I nominate you anyways, because I think you should know that i really appreciate you and your works!
