life to video game metaphor. i'm not kidding.
if you've ever played the sims, you're aware that the game is based on pretty much just keeping a person, or group of people, alive and well. your ability is gauged on levels of hunger, hygiene, comfort, hunger, environment, social, etc.
i enjoyed the game, but i was never very good at it. all i could manage was to get my sim fed, in bed, and up for work/school in the morning. by the end of the game, my sim would be rich.. yet uncomfortable, angry, crying in a corner, and pissing on the kitchen floor.
it seems that in real life, i seem to have the same problems. all i can seem to do is deal with my obligations:
sleep. eat. school. work.
i can't remember the last time i truly let loose and partied hard. i'm talking drank the place dry and passed out on the floor. i can't remember the last time i made new friends. i moved to athens for the school and the better selection of jobs and opportunites, and it worked. but i left behind my entire social life and i haven't really made up for it since. i put all of my effort into work and school.. and i'm really not even all that great at either of them. i miss coming home from class and already having plans for the night with at least 8 of my closest friends. i don't miss milledgeville, but i sure as fuck miss having a group of friends.
my social level is blinking red and i'm about 2 points away from pissing on the floor.
