Congratulations on being normal :D I never understood the imaginary friend thing. Like, someone is just talking to air. I don't get it lol.
I am surprised about the legos part though. Usually, they come with a boxed set with instructions. Unless you had a bunch of loose legos like I did. I mean, I had both, but my brother is considerably older than I am, so that's why I had a lot of legos growing up, though I did prefer my gijoes. My brother still has legos. In case you were wondering, he is indeed married lol.
Alright, took the test because, you know I had to after you mentioned it! So, first attempt...Hopeful Romantic. Yeah, definitely not the test lol. Taking a look at another one... nope. Ok, went online to verify, since I know exactly what you're referring to, but I couldn't find a Sims one AND then... realized you didn't mean a Sims test but actually the website I was on afterwards. Alright, I am a Logistician apparently ISTJ-A: "Logisticians are practical and fact-minded individuals, whose reliability cannot be doubted." And 100% introverted, 60% observant, 87% thinking (vs feeling), 53% judging (me in the first line about imaginary people lol) and 54% assertive. That's me in a nutshell. Ironically though, I do daydream all the time like you LOL. That being said, the above is probably the reason why I struggle when it comes to "moral" decisions when there is no true good answer. Sorta like the trolley problem.
You must be very creative as well, considering you daydream all the time ๐ Hopefully you write, paint or maybe play music(?)
@Midevil_Chaos I imagined you as that personality type! especially as you've got patience to work with computers. Sorry I forgot to put 16 personalities is it's own website ๐. That's my scatter brained ways coming out again Lol. Me and my friend did that test 2 years back and I thought it was accurate about us! My personal results were, as I still have them. (Professional Hoarder. Loool)
52% Introverted (vs Extroverted 48%), 79% Intuitive (vs Observant 21%), 73% Feeling (vs Thinking 27%), 63% Prospecting (vs Judging 37%) 70% Turbulent (vs Assertive) INFP-T. I think your personality group is obviously deep thinkers that are patient intellectuals. Whilst mine is just means I'm all over the place. which is very trueee. As for music, I can't play any instruments (accept from the music presets on keyboards ๐). I've always wanted to learn though, especially the violin, I love the violin. My grandma was a soprano and ballroom dancer, so I'm into arty-farty stuff like her ๐. I also love acting it's just messing about, and what's not to like about that! As for painting sadly that's not my forte. but I do love art. Actual artists amaze me, being able to make a canvas look like a human being! Like whoa, I also think the same way about digital artists, so talented!
I've completely rambled now again. Lol. Btw on the Lego subject they belonged to other kids I never saw the guides for the actual bricks ๐คฃ. I had some stickle bricks that I played with though, I didn't ever ask for Lego for the reason of it just wasn't my expertise. ๐
- simsplayer8183 years agoHero@Mrs_K_Desormeaux I loved Lego! I used to build little houses, which is exactly what I do now with the Sims. Lego houses were my first step on the mini property ladder!
My personality test said I had a Sensing/Feeling personality, that I did not process instructions well, am a visual learner and that I did not speak up in a large group. - Midevil_Chaos3 years agoSeasoned Veteran
How are we opposites? XD At least you're on the right side when it comes to introversion. Respect ๐
I see every family has some singers and all. For us, it is my uncle who plays the guitar and my cousin has a band. I use that term loosely, as he had a band and now gone solo. Why don't try learning the violin? If you want to do so, try it out :D Personally, I've always wanted to learn the piano.
Indeed! There are wild artists out there using the city as a canvas. I hate actual graffiti and have no tolerance for what people call tagging (which is typically a person adding their nickname, but no one else knows who they are, so...), but when it's actual art that represents something and was made with actual care, that's way different. That is impressive. Have you seen what was dubbed a "cartoon cake"? It looks legitimately like a cake that was drawn from a cartoon until you see someone cutting into it. My sister actually, she would often bake cakes for birthdays and such, like a Mario Bros themed cake, and it was pretty damn impressive. I was very impressed. Both her and I are very artistic (different domains though) - she can draw, paint and bake cakes. I wish I could do that... drawing, I mean.
lol, legos are so overrated to be honest, you did not miss out on anything :D - Missie_Kate3 years agoSeasoned Hotshot
@simsplayer818 Sorry for a late reply, I was a bit busy today. I imagined you'd be good at Lego, because you can actually build lovely things in the sims, unlike me! As for your personality, I too don't take instructions well, mainly because I'm a rebel without a clue. ๐ I cannot believe how off subject we've gotten.
I've had an EA account for years but never posted or logged in really, until the face bug that happened. So I wanted to also report that I also had the same issue. But I think I'll log in more often now after chatting to you lovely, interesting people. So much so, that I've completely rambled about everything. Lol. Suffice to say it's a bit like that saying, you wait for hours for a bus then three come along all at once. But that's typically like me though! \(โหโหโ)/

@Midevil_Chaos Your family sound very talented! As for learning the violin, that's the exact problem, if you've ever heard anyone who can't play it. Lol. It sounds like a bunch of ally cats having a fight ๐. But once you've learned it, it's such a contrast. I also agree about not being too keen on some graffiti, I mean some of them have talent, that's for sure, but I'm just not into that urban look myself. I'm more into greenery and cutesy things, Like them ceramic chickens you can get, or just pure clutter. Lol (I love anything twee๐).
About the cakes too, Damn. That's some serious art as well, sometimes the cakes take days, trying to decorate them perfectly and getting them taste fresh and tasty is a real science! Also do you watch Ambiguousamphibian on YouTube?, I enjoy his sims content, I think you might too. I watch many other channels as well, but something about his content reminded me of LGR a bit, he doesn't do reviews on older tech, but he sometimes plays classic games a bit like LGR. (โฟโ โฟโ )ใ
- Midevil_Chaos3 years agoSeasoned Veteran
Some indeed are lol. Actually, my niece has my sister's talents when it comes to art. That is pretty cool ๐
I wouldn't mind hearing you play the violin. It couldn't be worse than me trying to play the oboe ๐ Not that I've tried, I have not.
I can see why you'd prefer what you call cutsie stuff. As long as it's not a painting (as I don't like scenery paintings etc.), real outside stuff can be real nice to look at... depending where you live of course lol.
I have never heard of that youtuber, so I went to see one of his videos. He was slowly withering away in Project Zomboid... his voice was perfect for that ๐ Speaking of youtube, you should totally create your own youtube channel if you haven't already :D I'd be interested to see how you play The Sims.
I gotta ask, those normal looking emojis, where did you get them? I had to copy and paste them from your post LOL.

I create a bunch of weirdos drawn from my own imagination and from mythology, fairy tales, tv shows/movies, and also one from the game itself (DHD Guy which I put up on gallery). I use DHD Guy to do terrible things to my sim's homes and businesses, just as you'd expect from him if you've ever watched the Dream Home Decorator tv show on the ingame television.
The ones from tv shows/movies, fairy tales, and mythology all get suitable traits with homes and jobs to support these things.
So my game world looks very entertaining when one of these people walk by or interact with whoever I'm playing at time. I'll play each for a bit to create their general direction, then release them to the wild so they can cause chaos.

@Midevil_Chaos This is such a late reply. Lol. Apologies, I was quite busy this weekend. There's never enough time in a day for my liking.
The oboe?! Lol, I've heard they're one of the most complicated instruments to learn, and one of the most expensive too. so I've never encountered anyone yet with a handy oboe to have a go on ๐. So I have no idea how they sound without experience. But when I was in middle school, the majority of my class had clarinet lessons. My gosh did it sound bad, you could hear the lesson for miles around I'm sure! ๐คฃ 20-30 kids without any experience of any musical instrument, with basically loud flutes is not something I'd like to hear again! Lol.
As for YouTube, I watch quite a bit. I enjoy quite varying content, no specific genre. A bit like my taste in music, if I like it, I like it usually. But as for making my own content, maybe one day. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so would want to make sure everything was just how I wanted it if I ever started. (Wow, I sound like a control freak big time ๐) My neurotic ways for real!
As for the emojis, they're Microsoft emojis. Click on the right side of the mouse, then in the drop down menu the first option should be the emoji selection bar. Hope I explained it well enough. โ (โหโหโ) โ

You're good! ๐ My mom moved into a residence with a pharmacy, nurses etc. It's actually an apartment complex for older individuals. She's literally 5 minutes away, walking distance from where I lived. She used to live in a city that was maybe 20 minutes away by car. So I was helping with that. If anything, I do appreciate your words though, as they are very thoughtful. ๐ค
Yeah, the oboe! I've no idea how it sounds either lol. I don't play any instruments myself, but I wish I could play the piano. Maybe one day I'll try. For now though, I'd rather not think about music class from my childhood. We had to take music in elementary school and I hated it so much - I actually hated my school - high school was much better. I'm just grateful I didn't have to take it in more than once. How was music class for you? Did you enjoy it? I think I personally didn't because I didn't like my school back then. But it sounds like you're saying that your ears were bleeding from those other people playing clarinet. I used to play the plastic flute. I was terrible at it, everyone was as well I think LOL. I just hope I wasn't one of those people that made your ears bleed. ๐
"[A]s for making my own content, maybe one day. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so would want to make sure everything was just how I wanted it if I ever started." OMG, I am the EXACT same way. What you're saying makes perfect sense. When I write books, I actually re-read my PDFs like 5 times. Granted, it takes a hell of a long time... but I need/want them to be perfect before publishing them lol. I swear, when I re-read something later down the road once published, I cringe LOL. I'm always like, "man, this could be better" all. the. time. So, it's not just you.
Oh my God... it was that simple? Thank you lol. ๐คฃ - Missie_Kate3 years agoSeasoned Hotshot
You're Welcome! ๐
Moving is extremely difficult whether it's yourself, or helping someone close to you. But sometimes it's needed. I hope your mom is happy and healthy in her new home, and hopefully settles in quickly.๐
We had move last year because the landlord was selling up. Difficult is seriously not the word when it comes to moving. Especially if your not a millionaire, the prices of removal companies are ridiculous, so my mom and I moved the majority ourselves. Honestly you really can't be moved fully (everything in your house) for under 4 grand, or at least that was the majority of prices I saw. And the PRICES of cardboard boxes! seriously, I could complain for months about this, In fact I have done if I'm being real. ๐คฃ (I do realise though that being a removal worker is a hard manual job, so they do deserve to be paid well so I'm not angry about them.)
I completely understand what you mean about reading everything over before you finalise it. I do the exact same thing, even with books, I just have to double check (and in most occasions more than that.)To make sure I read it right! I always thought it's a type of OCD with me, but I'm beginning to think it's normal. I know how annoying it is to have that problem so I completely empathise. I also get how you can cringe at your old work. Who doesn't right?! Most people feel it when they hear themselves back on a video (I know I do๐ ) .
And I didn't mind music lessons at all, as long as the lesson wasn't math I was okay with it. Can't say school was something I enjoyed though, do many children enjoy school though? It's very difficult, I don't know many people who weren't bullied at school in some form, because kids can be really cruel.
And yes, I also played the clarinet badly, I found it hilarious at the time (and still do๐) how bad we all made it sound, now I feel bad for the poor teacher who had to hear it! ๐คฃ

She actually called me a bit ago. She says she's happy where she lives now. She used to live an apartment complex for war veterans, but non-vets could apply to live there if no vet applied to live there. Which is what she did at the time, but that place wasn't very practical. Her new place is better.
Jeez. 4 grand? When I moved several years ago, it cost us under a grand to move. Also, here you can rent plastic boxes from a company that all they do is rent those boxes out. Someone comes and gives you them, and then once you're done, they take them back. It was something like $150-200 for that service if I recall correctly. How much did you pay for your boxes? The advantage of plastic boxes is that you don't have to dispose of them, and someone does the job of removing them from your place.
I think the worst thing is hearing your own voice... *shudders at the thought of hearing my own voice*. There is nothing more horrifying than hearing yourself speak. Everyone else thinks you sound fine, but you know they're lying. How could they not be? ๐คฃ And then when they tell you that you don't sound that bad when playing an instrument when you know you're terrible, oh! You know they're double-lying at that point! ๐

@Midevil_Chaos Glad your mom is happy in her new home. ๐
We just used old amazon boxes, and plastic cases. I was just browsing one day and stumbled upon a devoted cardboard box website (never thought I'd type that๐). I wasn't going to bother with anything not reusable, but was browsing to see what sort of prices moving companies charge. And I accidently found a website a little bit like U-Haul, but all about selling boxes and similar items. The prices were ridiculous IMO, 350 for 10 boxes! I think I didn't spend long on the website though. Lol.
All I learnt is there really is a website for everything. I even found a website for beekeepers with articles such as: "How to move over 50 bee boxes for professionals ๐". I only searched for reusable boxes. Lol. 10/10 content though! I love a good bumble bee. โฟ๐ I've never really liked the taste of honey though. Let the bees enjoy their honey, they hard work for it. I was almost going to put a little pun in there about donna summer's song 'she works hard the money' but thought it was way too cringe. ๐ ๐คฃ
- Midevil_Chaos3 years agoSeasoned Veteran
Thanks! ๐Wait, what? You kept a number of amazon boxes so you could use them one day to move? ๐ฎ Dedication right there! I wish I had that type of storage to be able to keep several dozen of those lol. That being said, yeah, that much for 10 boxes is a joke LOL. We actually have a company here that will literally pack up your stuff for you (which actually did that for our mom since you know...), and that cost 3 grand. So we definitely would not have spend money on boxes even if we could. It's ridiculous to think that someone would think it's a good idea. I dunno know, rich people don't care I guess.
How... are they even in business? ๐คจ lol. I've never in my entire life seen a beehive, and typically people would not move a beehive. Too much can go wrong. ๐ And I agree, I'm not a fan of honey either. Unless I'm sick, then I may mix honey and tea, or honey and peanut butter (toasts). I'm not grossed out by foods in general or anything, but I usually don't like things that are either too sweet or too salty. It's like when you buy chips, traditional chips are VERY salty, which is why I tend to buy less salted chips. As for food that may have sugar like muffins etc., I do NOT accept food like that from coworkers. I did twice, and found myself disgusted, while everyone else thought they were amazing. Never again.
And you made me think of Lisa in her 80s dancing garb while she was dancing to 80s music. I think? lol. It's been decades since I saw that episode. - Missie_Kate3 years agoSeasoned Hotshot
@Midevil_Chaos I flattened any boxes that I got from around September to February time, and built them up again with some scotch tape. Suffice to say though I'm a bit of a hoarder (just in case I need it, is my excuse). ๐ I certainly don't have as much space in my new house compared to my old one. I don't know if you've seen how large amazon pantry boxes are, but just two of them not flattened is enough to fill my entire house, Lol. Lowkey though, just one amazon pantry box could fill a medium size family home. They. Are. Huge *Donald Trump Impression*
As for the bees, I think the website was just a beekeeping specialist website. It didn't offer a service, just many pages on beekeeping, and how to give your bees a new bee box, and moving bee boxes like a professional. ๐ I plant flowers that bees like in my garden, but don't have a bee box, nor have I seen one in person myself, but kudos to them for looking after such cute stinging pollinators! ๐
I too love most food, I'm quite a foodie, but like you, I dislike overly sweet things, or way to salted, I also don't like it when chips are overly flavoured too. Take the cheese and onion flavour for example, I love onion, and love cheese but I'm eating chips here and I'd like the taste the potato, which I also love! Love isn't strong enough word for the way I feel about onions and potatoes. (How Irish of me ๐) My ancestors and me agree on food choices.
And yes! The Simpsons is legendary. It really is the show that paved the way for all mature cartoons like Family Guy, South Park, and so many more! I always think The Simpsons is a family friendly show with a mature twist, and others after that got inspired and realised cartoons can be for anyone of any age. ๐ โฟโ โฟโ โฟ
- Midevil_Chaos3 years agoSeasoned Veteran
I get some Amazon packages, but the only boxes I've seen are standard size lol. So... what do you order that is SO massive in size? If it fills up an entire room, THAT is one huuuuuge box LOL. I couldn't imagine any of those boxes fitting through a door. ๐
I don't like bees, they are hurtful *me/ shaking fist a bees*. I remember when I'd get stung when I was a child, my grandmother would use soil to get the dart out. How or why, I don't know lol. It worked, that's all I know. ๐คฃ
For chips, I don't mind flavours as much, depending on the actual flavour, but the salt? God, that is horrible if it's too much of it. Otherwise, some flavours can be overpowering for sure. I've tasted several and they are meh. What perplexes me is how we have some flavours that other countries don't have, like Ketchup flavoured chips. Mind you, they actually taste good. ๐ When I heard channels in the US talking about Canadian chips as foreign food, I was confused as to how US companies sold us those types of chips, but not in the US. At least, not for a long time.
I absolutely love South Park. It's just one of those shows that doesn't care about political correctness. The Simpsons stopped being the Simpsons for me once they upgraded their tv to a flatscreen, got a laptop etc. How do you go from a kid having a tube tv to magically having a flatscreen tv and a modern laptop? After that, it lost its magic. That, and I vastly prefer(red) Futurama. At least with Futurama, everything is futuristic, so they could be like: "here's a new type of tv or stadium grass" or whatever, and it would make sense because they are literally a millennium ahead of us.
I didn't realize you had Irish roots too :D ๐ Do you have red hair? I've got a red beard, though I am lazy at times when it comes to trimming it down or shaving it lol.
- Missie_Kate3 years agoSeasoned Hotshot
@Midevil_Chaos I seriously only ordered a couple bottles of diet cherry Pepsi, some mixed nuts, and dog treats (not for myself๐). And what was delivered was the most outrageously sized box ever. I thought at first the box was for somebody else. But when I opened it, the majority of the package was filled with a massive amount of brown paper. ๐ I might have exaggerated a bit by saying as big as a room, but not much! Lol.
Your grandmother did such a cool thing! I know bee stings hurt a lot. thankfully, I've actually never been stung by a bee, I was told to be more wary of wasps because apparently they sting more often than bees. I don't know how true that is though.๐ When I was a child I was taught If I got stung by a nettle to rub the sting with a dock leaf, it really works well too.
I know what you mean about The Simpsons, it didn't have to change that vastly, It probably ruined it's nostalgia for most people with that move. IMO it should of kept it's original innocence and shouldn't of changed the fundamentals, I watched in the 2000's and remember no crazy tech being in it, and didn't need to add that aspect to make it 'relatable' to people now. As for South Park I love it's lack of being politically correct too, and they've never changed that. My friends always liked Kenny, but I was always a Cartman fan myself. ๐ His self-centeredness and one liners are legendary! I think some series have a difficulty keeping episodes fresh especially if they've been running for years. I think that's a problem with Family Guy in particular, I watched a newer episode recently, and it's so different to the old set up. I thought some jokes were just not funny IMO, the older episodes I still enjoy though. I started watching originally in the 2000's because I thought Peter reminded me of my Dad. ๐คฃ much to his disappointment, as people said he looked like a young Robert Redford.
And no, I'm not a red head but almost all of my dad's family are, him included. I'm blonde, well dark blonde with highlights. if anyone asks if it's my natural color, I don't tell them some of it's not! ๐คฃ I get my coloring from my grandma she was always fair. My grandad on the other hand, had black hair with dark eyes. Opposites attract was very true in their case! In personality too. ๐ Wow, Ramble over! ๐คฃ

Oh yeah, my grandma was THE best woman ever. I remember when she would made a bunch of desserts. From pies to bun like things to even jello. She was SO awesome. Not only for that reason lol, but she was always the most kindhearted woman I knew, as well as the most understand person. But to be fair though, yes I always appreciated when she made food. There was something authentic to it, and nobody else could make the food the way she made it. There was such love and care put into it, and I enjoyed that. She made everything from scratch.
She was the remnant of an older time, where women were housewives in a way which would not be possible now (for more than one reason). As far as I am aware, or at least from what I've seen, my grandfather didn't treat her any less because of that. I think she actually enjoyed that role. I think it was because she had around a dozen grandchildren, and she liked being a grandmother for all of them - I can't comment on how it was when she was a mother for her children though. That's probably why I have a lot of respect for housewives and househusbands. I've seen it firsthand how much work it was, though I also know she seemed happy in being who she was.
Yes, you are right! That's why The Simpsons became something else. I get that there a limited of things you can do creatively, but at that point, change it up by creating long side stories with secondary characters. You know, like a lengthy backstory. As for South Park, I always preferred Kyle. I think it was because I never really had many friends growing up. Even now, actually. I guess seeing him with an actual best friend for the rest of his life was something I like for a character. As for Cartman, that guy is hilarious. Both in a negative and positive way. Please tell your dad I am sorry for him that he looked like Peter. ๐ I'll feel even worse if you mother's name was actually Lois. ๐คฃ
The nicely honest part of me wants to say, "blondes are awesome!" The funnily sarcastic part of me wants to say, "my condolences for not being a redhead" Please don't hate me. ๐ As for my beard, it's completely red (in terms of the base)... as for any type of grey hair in it, no comment lol. I don't have a "5 o'clock shadow" as you call it, as I don't shave that often. I also never use a razor, which I think is the reason people have that "5 o'clock shadow" you refer to.
EDIT: Really? I had trouble seeing your post until I pressed "CTRL+R", then it popped up LOOOOL. - Missie_Kate3 years agoSeasoned Hotshot
My dad still looks like Peter IMO! Lol. And no, thankfully my Mother's name isn't Lois. ๐ I had to remove some of my reply as it was acting up big time! EA dislikes my rambling, how dare they! ๐คฃ
There really isn't anyone like your own mother and grandmother! There is no doubt IMO. They really are the best! My grandma also came from a different era too but always had to work, such a hard worker too, and a beautiful person inside and out. I agree about being a stay-at-home parent too. IMO it's way to much to have to work and look after your child/children. There's nothing like coming home from school and having your mom there! It's terrible that some parents don't have a choice in working, and just have to nowadays because bills are so high and one income or part-time isn't enough. It's a shame some people don't see raising a child/children as not a full time job, because it is indeed! I have a lot of admiration for good parents. It's amazing the difference that having just one good parent can do!
And I also love red hair it's very individual and incredibly beautiful. I have a sister with red hair and she actually doesn't like it! It's so awful when I hear of red heads being called ginger in a derogatory way! Many red heads I know dislike their hair colour, Isn't that sad? I always say how lovely red hair is, and red heads usually don't believe me. ๐
And yes! I found a way to use the brown paper. I put some underneath my dog's water bowl, and some under her food bowl. She makes a lot of mess when drinking and eating. ๐

Speaking of people who look like people, I had a friend in high school that looked like Bobby from King of the Hill... And that was his nickname that people gave him on top of that :D I normally wouldn't ask, but I have to see a pic of your dad. It has to be hilarious having someone that looks like Peter. But... please don't tell your dad that LOL. And if EA "hates" your rambling as you put it, send me a direct msg. I think EA allows that.
It was weird for me. My parents are so different, in ways that you would think are the same, but aren't. It would take an hour to just talk about that stuff ๐ As for my grandparents, we had one grandmother and one grandfather that we absolutely adored. Whereas the other 2 were... didn't feel like grandparents. Which actually saddens me, honestly. It was so strange, because I felt like 2 of them were so amazing as people with/towards us, but the others felt more like strangers. I wish it hadn't been that way, but what can you do? That being said, I wish I could have been there when my grandfather died, but for whatever reason, my mom didn't want us there. I don't know if it was because she was afraid it would traumatize us? I wish I could have been there. With my other grandfather, I was so surprised to hear his last words (which were said to me). He told me he loved me, and I couldn't help but tell him the same thing - I couldn't bear either not saying anything or telling him things that would have been crappy. The thing is, he always felt like he didn't care about us, but maybe he just never knew how, which is so heartbreaking.
I couldn't agree more! In this modern economy, I would love for us to be able to live a freer life. I'll say this though: the younger generation do something well - they value comfort and great job perks. If they can follow through, I'm hopeful things will be better in the future. BUT! They must follow through.
If anything, it perplexes the * out of me when traditional individuals think that a man can realistically work, have kids, have a house, without his wife working. In this modern economy? That's... not feasible (at least not here). Not everyone can earn 100K+, as you have to either be very fortunate, or be extremely good at your job and/or be an "alpha" that has zero fear of anything and climbs the corporate ladder as if it's nothing. That being said, if traditional individuals can do that, great! If they're able to AND they want to do that, that's great!
It is heartbreaking that people have nothing better to do than use a person's appearance in a derogatory way. That is something I'll never understand.

Tbh, people always say "huh, you think your Dad looks like Peter, I can't see it". But if you know him he reminds you of him more with his ways, mainly liking a beer and being ditsy! Thankfully he actually has a human lookalike for reference, The guy who presents Restaurant Stakeout is basically 99% his lookalike. I think his name is Willie Degel, you can look him up if you don't know the show (wouldn't be surprised if you don't). ๐ I would say they are pretty much doppelgangers. And yes, I have watched that really bad show, Lol. Food Network used to be what I'd put on to to get sleepy (Sorry food network ๐คฃ)
I have quite a few lookalikes in my family, my mom could pass for Kate Bush's sister for sure! And my granddad looked a lot like Gregory Peck and my Grandma looked a bit like a fair Rita Hayworth. I also have a cousin who always gets told he looks like Keanu Reeves, Lol. I've been told I look like either Charlize Theron, Michelle Pfeiffer, or Debbie Harry. I got told that before from a couple of different people. And when I was playing the exciting game *sarcasm* of which celebrity do you look like the most. ๐ Have you ever played that game? ๐ Or just my family *Hyperventilates thinking it's not normal* ๐คฃ
And my dog is seriously just messy in general. she sees water she dives in no matter what. Even if it's basically pure mud. ๐คฃ
ใฝ(โ'โก'โ)ใThis is more on subject to the original thread too, isn't that satisfying! Or just me? I don't like it when I go off on a tangent. ๐

Also, I'm sorry about your grandfather. it's traumatizing to lose anyone you love, pets too. It makes you feel guilty for a very long time about everything you could have done. I hope you have healed since this loss. even though you never forget the ones you've lost, try to remember the times you did have with them positively. โ

Glad to know I didn't freak you out ๐ I'm not the best in all social situations, so it's good to know there is normal person out there like yourself. ๐
Oh ok! To be fair, it's hard to find someone perfectly similar to a cartoon created by Matt Groener lol. His cartoons are so damn hard to have a real life comparison. Glad you had a cool mom lol, mine was very protective.
Your dad could look like Peter if he was 50 more lbs, AND did specific lip movements. The guy from the tv show you mentioned... I swear, I saw a picture and in that specific one sorta looked like Peter. And I have to admit, I never watch the food channel. I'm not a foodie lol. I'm a gamer through and through... *saying that as I could be watching Sims do just that*. I've never fallen asleep watching tv, except once when I was 18, and I was watching The Crucible. Sad movie. I prefer watching the Shopping Channel where I can look at people trying to sell me things I will never buy, because they don't sell video games or other electronics XD
So, that is where they get all the look-alikes and the stuntmen/women. That makes a lot of sense, I knew they all had to grown somewhere lol. Do you happen to have a clone of David Duchovny by any chance? We could maybe reboot the X-Files starting at season 6 (I think 6 when he left). It could be nice to do that, using the same type of video from back then so it doesn't look updated or anything :D Since I know you'll ask, no I don't look like anyone except like my father XD.
I can see that, they have that same facial feature. It's hard to explain without actually showing in person lol. ๐คฃ And no, I've never played that game, but you're normal regardless ๐ Why? Because I said so ๐ As for your dog, are you sure? Maybe you did something day 1 that pissed it off. It has to be a dog vendetta. And not sure how the dog talk is not a tangent of the original post...(?) I need some explaining here concerning that LOL. Like serious explaining. Like that Julia Roberts gif with the math.
And thank you. I wished I could have spent more time with my grandfather. We lived in different provinces, so I didn't see him everyday. I wish I could talk to him once more, honestly. - Midevil_Chaos3 years agoSeasoned Veteran
I forgot to add, about the tangent thing... it made me think of the Big Bang Theory when they all have scotch tape and kept ripping it out from each other.
