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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

YDI, I love the Sims, I played it when I was younger. It's a great game. But when your Sim's life is better than your own you gotta get to work on your life.

YFDI (You F***ing Dumb Idiot) -_- LOL No I'm kidding, I just find it funny you can play with "FML" or "FYL" or "YLIF" or "YDI" or "YFDI" eic. :P I use to be like this when I played a lot of RPGs. But if you apply this sort of planning to life, it can benefit you :)

Don't worry about tomorrow, tomorrow is overrated! Today is where it counts.

Since you realized this now, start planning your own life.

stop whining. Planning your life is stupid because you never know what's ahead.

Heh, I started working out all the time and studying hard because of the Sims. Always time to change. If you don't do anything about it, then YDI. Damn, I just realized that I turned into that bearded guy I made in Sims 1 who lives in a small studio, chugging down coffee to boost energy and working hard at a computer based job. At least he had a happy ending.

Is it bad that this makes me want to get the Sims game? XD Seriously, it sounds awesome. I'm totally going to get the new one when it comes out. o/
