What is your aspiration?

[angelyne]

I'm willing to bet that pleasure will rank right up there, otherwise you'd be out there making babies, friends, dates money, or reading a book ... not indulging your sims habbit

[reggikko]

Well, in the poll I chose Knowledge. I am or have been all the others to one degree or another, except Fortune.

[MaxisManiac]

I chose Pleasure.

[WoundedImmortal]

Actually, I'm rather low on the "Pleasure" scale.  I've never been to a "real" party, where there were drugs, alcohol and all that...I've never been drunk.  I've never seen an illegal drug.  I don't own a TV (So I do read a lot) I'm a virgin...I'm pretty mellow.

I'd classify myself as wither family or knowlegde.  Perhaps a mix of the two.

Family because I have always, even when I was young, wanted children.  Not 10 like the family sims.  However, I have always wanted a family.  I've been part of mentoring programs, worked at daycares, been a live-in nanny...I have a real genuine love for children, and am a natural mother.

Knowledge, because I'm one of thoes weird people who goes out and learns things on my own.  I've learned languages that weren't for a class at school.  When I was a junior in highschool, I had 8 more than enough credits to graduate early, but I didn't, I finished my senior year as a part time student, taking two college classes on the days I had off....

So in other words, I'm kind of a loser.. Heh.

[angelyne]

So in other words, I'm kind of a loser.. Heh.

Bah, you're not a loser.  The world needs people like you otherwise the world would be filled only with politicians

My definition of a pleasure aspiration is not so much someone who is into drugs, parties, booze and the like.  Rather it's someone who likes to indulge doing what they like, whatever that may be, often at the detriment of what they should be doing.  Now that's me   Right now my "drug" of choice is simming

[cheriem]

I voted family because in my life and my culture that's what we value the most.  I would say however that I would be a strong candidate for knowledge as well.  I have always loved to read.  As a matter of fact my mom says I taught myself to read at about four and a half.  I read a lot of stuff on a lot of subjects.  Other than Sims, it's my favorite thing to waste time with.  I also keep quite a bit of trivia stuck in my head.  But I love to teach school and would love to be a mom.  (Which would thrill both sets of parents, my own and my in-laws!)  Anyway, that's my two cents.

[WoundedImmortal]

Well, my "Drug" of choice is writing...

Poetry, music, full length novels.  Most people consider that rather dull.

[Muisie]

You forgot Grilled Cheese.  I guess I'll choose Fortune then.

[Zeljka]

This is one of those long standing annoyances with me because if I were a Sim, no single aspiration would cut it for me.

Started off as a child with a 50/50 split of family and knowledge,
as a teen, probably added finance to the mix 30/50/20.
As a young adult, I'd have been 40% Romance, reducing the others. Not sure what I am now?
Which aspiration spends too much time on the computer between work, putting off the cleaning until just before the flies come?

oh yeah, I'd certainly be a bit grilled cheese right now and I love wearing pjs the second I get home...

[Brynne]

Hmmm...Reg and I were just discussing this earlier.
I play myself as a Pleasure sim, because, dammit, I do like my pjs. And I'm a very playful kinda gal, so I'm all about pleasing myself. Er...you know what I mean. The only thing I *don't* like about the Pleasure aspiration is that there never seem to be any wants to do things with your partner. Because my sim-self's hubby is super hot, I would definitely want to be all over him all the time. So I have a bit of romance sim in me. That and I'm a huge flirt. So yeah, I'd definitely be a Pleasure/Romance sim. But wait! There's more! I must write and paint! I have a creative need to fulfill. And I have to have lots of friends. So...I'm a Pleasure/Romance/Popularity sim. Of course, in real life, I have a son. And he is my world. So I would also have a huge hunk of Family sim in me. So that's what? Pleasure/Romance/Popularity/Family. Okay. Now, about my insatiable appetite for learning new things. Particularly languages and psychology. And I love to read. Gotta add Knowlege to the mix, then. And I've been absolutely dying to get a huge expensive fountain for the front yard...

Now, I'm off to have a nice cheesy sandwich.

[reggikko]

Now, I'm off to have a nice cheesy sandwich.

Fix me one while you're in there, would you? I'm starving.

[florican]

I'm only an occasional poster but regular visitor, and I must say Brynn you do make me laugh. 

As for aspiration, I'm too much of a mixture of all of them to pin myself down to one. Except fortune. I've never cared for money. There are too many good things in life that are free.

[J. M. Pescado]

Aren't we forgetting something? There you go. For glory! For honor! FOR CHEESE!

[Brynne]

I'm making a huge platter of grilled cheese as we "speak". Now, let's all discuss the cheese, shall we? Bring Goopy in, Reg. He's good at the cheese chat.

[Batelle]

Even though I would like to consider myself an intellect, I had to choose Cheese.  Honestly, I would never read another book if it meant that the world's supply of cheese would never end.  I have one sim with the Grilled Cheese aspiration and I get so hungry playing her it's riudiculous.

[Katze]

I'm a combination of knowledge and pleasure.

LOL Brynne you always get me to laugh.

[WoundedImmortal]

Mmm, cheese 

I think I could do well as a grilled cheese sim.  In fact, I think I'll be lazy and have a grilled cheese for dinner.

[Brynne]

Okay, for real? I think I'm making grilled cheese for supper. Jay will just have to deal with that. I'm hungry. And it's sooooooo gotta be cheese, now.

[angelyne]

Sorry I forgot the cheese.  I thought the question was cheesy enough on it's own


Actually I don't get this whole cheese aspiration, it sounds like an inside joke?  Maybe one day someone will explain it to me

[sunkitten]

I voted cheese. Mmmmmm.... cheese....

[J. M. Pescado]

The Cheese Aspiration is the result of failure on the Senso-Orb. The best way to get Cheese is to take a sim that is not in Gold or Platinum, and repeatedly attempt to use the orb. Don't change anything if the dialog comes up. If you change nothing, no charges are used and you can try again until you become....CHEESE!

[ElviraGoth]

Ok, reading this has made me hungry.  I think I'll be different and have - wait! NO! MUST HAVE GRILLED CHEESE!

I'm knowledge, but I really need to have a grilled cheese right now.

[Brynne]

The Cheese aspiration is quite contagious...

[WoundedImmortal]

Okay, for real? I think I'm making grilled cheese for supper. Jay will just have to deal with that. I'm hungry. And it's sooooooo gotta be cheese, now.

I just put on a grilled cheese for supper too!

With munster and provelone...Mmmmm

[Brynne]

I just put on a grilled cheese for supper too! Smiley

With munster and provelone...Mmmmm

Yum. Fancy grilled cheese!
My Kraft singles suddenly seem so...inadequate. Must get better cheese!
