Hi guys!
I'm just writing this little note to say thankyou for all the wonderful birthday wishes! I wish that I had time to respond to each one (and also to peruse through all the wonderful LJ entries by everyone that I have missed - guess what I'll be spending the day doing almost as soon as I get back?) but the wonder of travelling is taking up all of my time at present. For anyone who is interested I'm in Granada, Spain at the moment. Just arrived last night from Madrid and have been to so many fantastic places already! Frankfurt and the Rhine in Germany, the Greek islands (Mykonos, Paros, Santorini and Ios), Athens, Rome, Florence and Pisa in Italy and Valencia and Alicante in Spain. Headed next down to Seville and then up to Barcelona and then... back home to Australia (early November). I will definitly post some pictures to show off then (because I don't think I will be able to help myself). I've gone nuts on facebook already (yes I am a crazy, enthusiastic backpacking tourist...) and if any of my LJ friends desperatly wants to see pop me a msg here (or private) and if your not a stalker (:P) I might add you.
I hope all is well with everyone and I can't wait to catch up on all the simming stuff I have missed whilst I've been away (ahh I miss my little pixels sometimes).

I got to thinking last night (uhoh! :P) what a shame it is that I never really PLAY The Sims anymore. Oh sure I boot *both* the games up, fiddle around in build and buy mode, do some neighborhood planning and make fun looking characters. But more often than not these poor little sims never get to see the light of day, even an overly bright, artificial maxian one.(And honestly, not playing is getting kind of boring for me).
