(Not sure if this should go here or in the Game Room… or MPSIMS? Damn these confusing categories!)

How would you describe your real life personality using the [traits](http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Traits) from Sims 3? In the game each adult sim gets five traits, but that seems a bit limited for real life, which is presumably a bit more complex than a video game, so let’s say you can list a maximum of ten.

I’d say that I’m an [easy going](http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Easy_Going) [loner](http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Loner) who [dislikes children](http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Dislikes_Children) and is a [cat person](http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Cat_Person). Unfortunately, I’m also a bit of a [loser](http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Loser) (I take that to mean not that I fail completely at life, just that I often have a harder time of it than others for no good reason). I’m clearly a [vegetarian](http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Vegetarian) (that should ideally be vegan, but I’ll take what I can get) [hydrophobe](http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Hydrophobic) who [hates the outdoors](http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Hates_the_Outdoors). Just to be a bit positive, I’d say that I have a [good sense of humor](http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Good_Sense_of_Humor), and since I’ve recently been displaying a sudden and surprising knack for playing the guitar, I’ll optimistically toss in the [viruoso](http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Virtuoso) trait. Was that ten? Yeah, pretty much sums it up.

My ex-girlfriend was (well, presumably still is) [ambitious](http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Ambitious)and [hyperactive](http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Hyperactive)with a [photographer’s eye](http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Photographer%27s_Eye). Unfortunately, she had some rather severe [commitment issues](http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Commitment_Issues), was a [light sleeper](http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Light_Sleeper) and was usually [never nude](http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Never_Nude). She was also [neurotic](http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Neurotic). Actually, I’m beginning to understand why that relationship didn’t work out.
