If

Via Sizzle:

If I were a month I’d be October

If I were a day I’d be Friday

If I were a time of day I’d be evening

If I were a font I’d be Myriad Pro

If I were a sea animal I’d be an dolphin

If I were a direction I’d be North-West

If I were a piece of furniture I’d be a bookshelf

If I were a liquid I’d be Dr Pepper

If I were a gemstone I’d be an opal

If I were a tree I’d be an apple tree

If I were a tool I’d be sandpaper

If I were a flower I’d be a gerber daisy

If I were an element of weather i’d be a spring breeze

If I were a musical instrument I’d be a cello

If I were a color I’d be green

If I were an emotion I’d be surprise

If I were a fruit I’d be a grape

If I were a sound I’d be the sound of a sprinkler system

If I were an element I’d be xenon

If I were a car I’d be a hybrid

If I were a food I’d be cherry pie

If I were a place I’d be my bed

If I were a material I’d be cotton

If I were a taste I’d be cherry

If I were a scent I’d be cookies

If I were a body part I’d be a bellybutton

If I were a song I’d be When You Wish Upon A Star

If I were a bird I’d be a duck

If I were a gift I’d be non refundable

If I were a city I’d be Seattle

If I were a door I’d be fingerprinty glass

If I were a pair of shoes I’d be Keen’s

If I were a poem I’d be the one my friend Karyn wrote for me:

Roses are red
Butter is fatty
I love you
And your mom Pattie  

or maybe something from Shel Silverstein. I’m not that much into poetry.

Sims 3, William

Generation gap

Here is what I have been doing. Wil and I are playing the sims together. By together I mean each on our own computers. We are doing a legacy challenge. 

Briefly, the legacy challenge is 10 generations, all created in one house. The game ends the day your 10th generation baby is born. There are certain conditions (you start on a huge lot which leaves you only $1300 and no house. All traits have to be randomly selected.) and rules. You get points for certain things and there is absolutely no cheating. Which is hard for me. 
This has consumed our lives. It’s not a quick game. It takes many many hours to raise ten generation. You get points for being successful in things, like fulfilling life wishes, so it behooves your to raise them well. 
I might be ahead in points, but Wil’s family is far more interesting and tragic. First, even though traits are randomly assigned, his sims have a strange proclivity towards Evil. His sims always seem doomed in some way. Insanity seems to pop up at least once a generation in mine. 
I have made it to the 5th generation. I used to have a family plot of graves out back of my house, but after having 4 different ghosts takes up most of the beds in the house one night (you can’t get them off of them either) I had to move them all to the local graveyard. My sims had bad days the next day due to extreme sleepiness. Stoopid ghosts. 
I’m not kidding when I tell you it has consumed our lives. We’ve had a bunch dinners that have consisted of sandwiches, cereal or “whatever you can find.” So not a lot to blog about unless you want Peabody family updates. If you are interested, you can read about the legacy challenge rules right here. 
I did do a meme today, however, which I will post right after this.
