No, you’re not seeing things, I’m really posting haha. Nothing interesting, just a new instalment in the ‘Random song in Kirsten’s head’ chronicles 😂 Today we have a mashup of ‘Friends Don’t Let Friends Dial Drunk’ by the Plain White T’s and ‘crushcrushcrush’ by Paramore. More specifically—> 1/2

I know I haven’t been active on here for a while, but I’ve been around (chronic illnesses been doing their thing and kicking my butt) This recent EA sale news though… not sure what to make of it. It makes me uncomfortable, if I could sum it up in one word. [1/2]

I said on one of my social media bios (Discord maybe?) that I skipped playing Sims 2 somehow… Guess who just proved herself a liar and is now questioning her ability to recall memories as a child/teen

I wanted to burst out laughing when I spotted this on the mannequin in the shop window, yet at the same time I also intensely wanted to buy it because my love for Charlie Swan runs deep 😂 #nogirlyoudontneedmoreTwilightmerch

So what if I’ve been absent from social media & haven’t played Sims in months, Steam has their summer sale on so I just spent $75AUD on four new games & was able to get two more for free. When will I play them? Who the heck knows? But now I own more games off my wish list so 🤷‍♀️

Ignore the fact the notification has been sitting there since 6pm yesterday… lol at The Sims Mobile and whoever is writing their push notifications 😂
A screenshot of an iPhone open to the lock screen with a notification on it from The Sims Mobile game. The screen shows the date, Sunday 16 March, and the time 11:17 [PM, not actually shown but for context]

The lock screen photo in the background is of a Smile Tile that reads 
ARE THINGS THAT BAD OR DO YOU JUST NEED SOME SALT
(OCEAN, TEARS,
[HOT CHIPS)? - is obscured by the notification]

The notification itself reads:
The Sims - Yesterday, 6:00 pm
Hey, how's reality going? If you need a break, we're here for you!

My new fave genre of YT reactor is the (usually male) Kanye fan listening to Taylor Swift for the first time & they choose Reputation to do it with. Seeing their eyes widen as they hear her tear into someone lyrically & the delicious irony when they have no idea it’s probably Kanye himself is golden

Alt: A gif from the video clip Look What You Made Me Do by Taylor Swift. It shows a crying Taylor Swift with curly hair playing a guitar (a Teardrops on My Guitar reference), a Taylor Swift with a high ponytail and sunglasses in a leopard print coat taking videos of the other Taylors and saying “I’m gonna edit this later” (likely referring to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West editing the recording of the phone call to Taylor about Kanye’s song Famous) and a Taylor Swift in a floor length silver sparkly one shoulder dress and a curly haired updo holding a MTV VMA award and a microphone (referring to the 2009 VMA incident where Kanye West stormed the stage). In the background is a black jet (only the engine can be seen) and across the bottom of the gif the words “I’m gonna edit this later” are written.

So, Trump got Twitter, Facebook/Instagram and now also TikTok sucking up to him - this is deeply concerning. Traditional media is on the decline and most people (particularly young people) nowadays get their news/info from these sites, which are now dancing to Trumps’ tune. Be careful out there.

My heart rate monitoring app in a push notification: Look, your heart rate spiked to 127bpm! My heart rate monitoring app when I actually open the app and check my peak heart rate: Check it out, you hit 160bpm in the shower! Babe, I think you’re worried about the wrong number there 😂 #POTS

The bark of laughter that came out of my mouth when Clement Frost popped up as the Wealthy Weirdo in my save specifically started for the Cozy Celebrations event 😂
A screenshot from the Sims 4 with a text message conversation from Clement Frost (as the Wealthy Weirdo character) to my sim Noelle. A circular image of Clement is on the left of the text and a circular image of Noelle is on the right of the text, which reads as follows:

“I'm wealthy. Very wealthy. Just last month I bought Social Bunny and Cupid's Corner. Just straight up bought them. You caught my eye, and I was hoping to get the chance to meet you in person. I know it's a lot to ask, but I have gifts for you. What do you say?”

The response options are buttons that read: 
(Hmm..perhaps...) or
(No thanks, weirdo.)

This popped up today & I don’t know if it is available worldwide on Netflix but I really hope it is because it is one of my favourite ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) shows So raw & personal, just so SO worth watching I hope they eventually put up all 7 seasons (there’s only two so far)

This time last year on the hellsite I discovered pudding.cool and their bot that rated your taste in music I set a reminder to do it again this year, and here were my results lol
> Your spotify was folklore-evermore-dumbledore-witch-pop-too-many-feelings-awkward-middle-school-slow-dance bad.
> Thank your obsessions with Taylor Swift, Emo (e. g., My Chemical Romance and My Chemical Romance), and Kiss Me for that.
> Based on your listening habits, I can also tell you your Spotify was...
> your-gen-x-is-showing bad
> ukelele-sex-god bad
> ufo-truther bad
> posters-on-your-bedroom-wall-pop bad
> ira-glass-in-your-airpods bad
> But wait, it gets worse:You listen to these too much:
• Baker by Aimee Carty
• From Fields, From Forests, From Far by Ethan Hibbs
• Simply The Best by Billianne
• Sparks Fly (Taylor's Version) by
Taylor Swift
• Chattanooga Choo Choo - 1941 Single
Version by The Andrews Sisters
You stan these artists to an
uncomfortable extent:
• Sub-Radio
• Hanson
• Taylor Swift
• Kisschasy
• Tom CardyYou are 12% basic. You're trying to impress with some obscure tracks like Easy Chill. Nobody's fooled..
You're too trendy for your own good. You only listen to music made in the last year like H.S by Tom Cardy and Baker by Aimee Carty.
Analysis finally complete.
I need to go sit in silence for a second.
Shutting down.

Okay so I’m not on Facebook often but I had to share this because I’m dyyyyiiingggg I love Inside Out and was not expecting this Twilight crossover. Riley is so me and I love it 😂 (Zoom in on the second pic and read the credits part of the poster. Please.)

“This is the skin of a vampire, Riley ✨

From the world of Inside Out comes #DreamProductions, Disney and Pixar’s all-new, four-episode limited series. Available December 11 only on Disney+”

Attached is a poster with Riley from Inside Out and the vampire boyfriend - poster is included and described in more detail in the next imageA movie poster with a dark nighttime background showing the moon and bats flying across in front of it, which shows Riley from Inside Out gazing up at her imaginary vampire boyfriend that reads:

“He’s super cool. 

He’s super mysterious. 

He’s super pale

He’s Riley’s new

VAMPIRE BOYFRIEND”

Played for a little bit just now but you can’t tell me that the main screen “Hello player name” section that always changes WASN’T a coincidence tonight I refuse to let anyone tell me otherwise 😂
A screenshot of the main menu screen for The Sims 4. It contains many boxes which the company EA uses to highlight different packs or scenarios, however the user has drawn an orange box around the part of the screen that welcomes the player to the game. This reads “Let’s sparkle, distractedspark” next to a small circular image of their profile picture.
