Today, while playing The Sims 2, I realized I had a virtual person's whole life planned out, and have nothing planned out for myself. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I just realized that my Sims character has a far more stable lifestyle than what I can ever have. FML
Today, I made a Sim of myself and had her work out until she was completely fit, then got her a job and a husband. Meanwhile, I sat at my desk, fat, single, and jobless. FML
Today, I played The Sims just so I'd know what it was like to live alone, own a home, and have a well-paying job that didn't slowly kill me from the inside out. It was the happiest I've been in months. FML
Today, I spent a good hour playing a life simulation game so my character could go through the stages of pregnancy and labor, only to jealously cry for an hour because my character can successfully get pregnant and have a baby, and I can't. FML
Today, I woke up to find The Sims 2 running on pause on my laptop. I unpaused to find my character and my boyfriend's were no longer together. Slightly confused, I went on to find the note my boyfriend left. It said, "I hope you can take a hint." I got dumped through a computer game. FML
Today, my son was playing The Sims, when I saw him remove the door to a room and set it on fire with a Sim trapped inside. I chuckled at first, until I saw that the Sim was me. Meanwhile, my wife's Sim was happily painting in the next room, not giving a crap. All too accurate, sadly. FML
Today, I found myself crying for an hour when my recreated crush on The Sims 3 game rejected my character and ran off with someone else. FML
Today, my husband of ten years was playing the Sims. I asked him about the house he built. Apparently, it was his dream house, and he recreated himself as a Sim so he could live in it. Then I asked him where the wife was. There was no wife. It was his happy place. FML
Today, I put more effort into getting and keeping my Sims onto a good sleep schedule in order to properly take care of their needs than I did for myself. FML
Today, not only can I not get a real boyfriend, I can't even get one on the Sims. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I could tell you to get off your fat ass and do something other then play sims, but then I'd be a hypocrite.

lmao; I've had that problem before. >>;; I was playing the sims earlier; had been playing for HOURS. I was working on a legacy, I had gotten through a pregnancy and the kid was a toddler and almost a child.. and lightning struck a power thing outside my house, and made the power go out. And my game wasn't saved. =|

Simple fix, you just switch places. Switch your sim's life plan for yours and do what the sims charachter was supposed to do. Lol but seriously i had my career and life pretty much planned out at twelve. And i am a horrible procrastinator. If you really want to find out what you want to do, watch lots of different tv shows. When you find what you want to do, you will know it. I learned from boston legal. Lol best show ever! :D

Sounds like me and my friends. My mom had to limit my time playing the sims, I'll talk about them like I talk about friends. But honestly I had my life planned when I was 13. So I guess lack off on playing the sims. #1, I know counting the days!

I think this FML was an attempt at grassroots marketing for Sims 3... seeing as how 75% of the comments are giving release dates for the game, it's working wonders.
