An aside...
Dec. 4th, 2005 02:23 amWhat is with all you people having birthdays in December?? What, is March the International Month of Woohoo/Try to Make A Baby or something?
Speaking of which, it's very sad that my Sim people have gotten more Woohoo in their 25 days of Sim Life than I have gotten in my 25 YEARS of real life. And yes, one of them is a lothario, but I feel that doesn't excuse me.
I'm going to bed now.

Date: 2005-12-04 08:31 pm (UTC)It is!! My mom, dad, sister-in-law, nephew all have birthdays this month. Add Christmas to that and my end-of-the-year bills are horrific :)
At least I know, since my family is in Michigan, that it's cold and there are lots of blizzards in March...so I imagine there's little else to do :)

I think my resolution for the New Year will be to stop obsessing in how very little woo-hoo I'm getting and instead channel the energy into more productive outlets, like...something somewhat wise I'll think about at a later date.
Btw - is that bear in your icon wearing a comm badge???

Date: 2005-12-05 08:20 am (UTC)I always felt bad for the December kids. Their birthdays are so close to the Judeo-Christian holidays that they can easily get shafted when it comes to present. At least, it seems that way with my brother (his b-day is on the 11th). I'm sure you can confirm or deny the claim.

Date: 2005-12-05 08:28 am (UTC)I'm not quite sure yet. I've never been woohoo obsessive, I just found it funny that over the last two days I've become a master of Sim seduction and my Sims have seen tons more action that I have. I have tons of issues to work through - once I get comprehensive insurance I'll give some lucky shrink enough compensation to afford a nice luxury vehicle to peel around in.

Date: 2005-12-05 08:33 am (UTC)Second--to be fair, more babies are born in August/September than any other months because of the holiday season.
Is that so? I'd think that, particularly in temperate climates, more babies would be conceived during the colder times of the year, since people have a tendency to stay in more...whereas at holiday time you're out and about or dealing with something or another. Around here it really picks up in late January - March. But what you're speaking makes sense. In my extended family there's only ONE August/September person (my father) - although, to be fair, my folks are from a tropical country.
Third--I can't help you out with the Whoohoo, sorry.
It's okay. I'm moved you cared enough to even mention it.

Date: 2005-12-05 08:37 am (UTC)See, you're one of the nice ones. If I had a ton of relatives with b-days in December I'd mail/give them a card or something and say "oops! the gift is in the mail" and then give them a little (very little) something extra in addition to what I'd planned to give them for the holidays. I wouldn't be liked too much but, oh well.

I think February/March are the worst months when it comes to winter storms. Your logic makes perfect sense.
