Hi everyone,
As you can tell by this thread, I'm new here. Jazen sent me, so this is all her fault. LOL! Anyway, I'm Sweetnightingale and am from a small town in the Midwest, otherwise known as Antarctica right now. I'm married with two daughters (one grown and on her own) and the other one is almost 21 and lives at home. We have three dogs - Caleb (my Golden Retriever), Sheena (my daughter's dog who is part beagle), and Turbo (we're not sure what he is. LOL! He's basically my husband's dog, but we kinda share him). Turbo and Sheena were rescue dogs and have been with us now for nearly 4 years. Caleb will be 8 next month.
I'm an avid Simmer, as we all are. I came to it late and started playing in November, 2011. Sims 3 was my first game, and I went hog wild, getting all the EP's and SP's including Pets, which was the latest release at the time. I then got the EP's and SP's as they were released. I started making Let's Plays on my Youtube Channel (Lined in my signature if anyone is interested) and have been doing that for a little over three years now. Then, I started playing Sims 2, going on the hunt for EP's and SP's. Some were hard to find since the game wasn't being produced anymore. Anyway, when Sims 4 was released, I got that and took advantage of the Ultimate Collection when Origin released that. I've also got other Sims games llike the Sims 1 Complete Collection, Sims Medieval (Pirates and Nobles Adventure Pack as well), Sims Life Stories, Sims Pet Stories, and Sims Castaway Stories. So yeah, I'm a Sims freak, but from the looks of it, we all are here.
I have always loved to write but have recently started writing using Sims games in some of my stories. I mostly do that with Sims 3. If anyone is interested, you can visit my blog to read my Sims stories.
As I said, I have always loved to write. My style is more in the romance and fantasy categories. I tend to write with a romantic flair and am such a softie when it comes to true love.
I'm also a big reader with eclectic tastes. I'll try just about anything. LOL! I'm more of a fiction reader than nonfiction unless it really grabs my attention. I love, Love, LOVE the Harry Potter series. I'm also a hgue Stephen King and Dean Koontz fan. In the romance department, I love Nora Roberts. I used to read a lot of Danielle Steel but kinda got away from her. I guess I just needed a change of pace.
My other interests include knitting and crocheting, music (I'm a singer, and I play flute and a little piano), cooking (when I'm in the mood and when I don't HAVE to LOL), and journaling. My journaling techniques are pretty much writing, as I'm not creative artistically that way. I can't draw to save my soul and painting...no way. LOL! I wish I could, but sadly, that just isn't one of my talents. I do enjoy scrapbooking when I get time for it.
I love Fountain Pens. I started collecting them a couple years ago. I awoke a sleeping dog, as my husband liked them too but his interest waned until I started collecting them. Then, his interest revived and now, we both have some decent-sized collections.
Anyway, that's probably more than you all wanted to know, but it gives you a little idea of what makes me tick. Looking forward to participating and making some friends here.

Hiya Sweets, Sweetnight, SweetNG, SNG! Welcome to RWN! No I don't hear whispering I think that was just the wind...or your imagination. What's that? It's saying turn around now before it's too late? Yes, definitely your imagination which means you are in the right place. JEM, I'M GONNA NEED A STRAIGHT JACKET RIGHT AWAY! Too tight? Oh no don't worry it's just to make sure your spine stays aligned. And we wouldn't want you to injure yourself hence the nice padded room. Too bad you couldn't get one with a view...then again the only view you would get is of the slaughterhouse across the street. It's where we get our meat for our meals. (At least that's what we tell our Health Inspector) What? No, I didn't see anyone parade a bunch of humans in there haha (Mica, shut the windows!) You certainly have an active imagination. Yeah so anyway, this is your roommate Paula. If she bites just yell and we'll turn the music up for the other patients! We wouldn't want to disturb them now would we? I see you've shared a link to your blog. Thank you! Here at (insert mental health institute) RWN, we pride ourselves on catering to the needs of our patients members. For instance there's a library if you enjoy reading. An arts and crafts center if you enjoying modeling and building. But if you're like many of the residents here and scribble nonsense on your wall write, you'll find a home in the Sims 1, Sims 2, Sims 3 or Sims 4 threads. Disclaimer: Items in the brochure may not directly reflect activities available. I hope you enjoy your stay P.S. Occasionally we have a small, teeny, tiny zombie outbreak. If I were you, I'd pack a gun whenever I come here...really

*Here's your straight-jacket Deej! Or did you want the one with the smiley's? That one seems to calm the new ones more effectively* FRESH MEAT!!!! I'm so sorry, forgive my over-enthusiasm... it tends to happen, sometimes... often... daily... secondly? They call me JEM, JM, Jean, but never Marie! N-E-V-E-R! Murderous things tend to happen when they do! I'm also the 3rd member of the welcome-committee, so -Hi- and -welcome- Jazen got you here huh, well that's just... yeah... that's uhm... yeah Did she offer you cookies? Or candies? That's usually how she gets people here. I fell for it too. HUGE screen of 2-colored candies. I hope you like it here. We have a lot of stuff going on. Stories to read/write and fun challenges for all of the different Sims games. (Check out our previous Halloween & Christmas) Yes, those are finished, but who knows there may even be a Valentine's coming up. This place is full of surprises and crazies. Let's not forget the crazies! Whatever you can think up... we can relate to (or even make it bigger!) I love your little intro. I'd say you covered everything... except your blood type! I'm also the resident Vampire, so that info would make my day! Welcome Sweets! (I watch -Bones-, so I'm SOOOO calling you that! )

Well, SNG guess you figured out the secret here. Most here (not me of course ) are a bunch of loons. but ***shhh don't let them hear you call them crazy*** JM I told you about trying to eat the new patients members! Back to your room! BACK I SAY! The pills Kiddo mentioned are nothing to worry about. They are harmless candies that may or may not have an effect on your state of consciousnesses. But really it's nothing to worry about. Now if you'll just look at this pretty butterfly Needle? What needle? Just... there all better now. Keep your hands and feet inside the ride at all times and enjoy.
