There was a lil house in the middle of the woods…
A lil ol’ Bunny by the window stood…
Saw a hunter sneaking by…
So she ran outside, attacked the hunter, looked around to ensure no one was watching, and had a lovely stew for dinner. (It was a bit gamey.)
No? That wasn’t how that lil ditty went? Hmmmmm. I guess I just remember it differently. Lol.
Well, HI! My name is Bunny. You may remember me from posts such as “I WANT A BABY”, “Nerd Alert”, “MY ADDICTION HAS COST ME EVERYTHING!”, “Addicts How To: STITCH ME UP DOC!!…”, and then there was the best one ever… “Top 10 Things EA DOESN’T Want You To Know…” (still makes me giggle).
Those are just a handful of the insane words that spill out of my brain now and then. But wait…THERE’S MORE!!! (click if you dare enter the inner workings of a crazy Bunny’s mind).
OH…Holy Frak…YOU CLICKED MORE!!! What the heck is wrong with you? Don’t you know who I am? You don’t? Oh. Hmmmm. I guess I better fix that.
March 2013, a longtime friend was posting pics on his Facebook of a silly game he had been playing. (The boy was OBSESSED with the Simpsons.) It looked interesting to me, so I thought I would give it a go. So I downloaded the app to my Android phone and started to play. Not too bad. Kinda fun, but I was terribly busy at the time managing several chat rooms. So I stopped playing. ***GASP***
May 2013, my same friends was now posting things on his Facebook about “Whacking Day”. Mind you, seeing a boy post such words…I was a bit nervous at just what he was up to. Lol. He explained, it was the game again and he needed me to help him whack his snakes. Ummmmm. o.O
So short story long, I went back to TSTO and joined in the madness that was “Whacking Day”. (Just you wait…if it returns…you’ll understand…and crawl in a corner and cry.) As I hopped from town to town, I would write my name with the snake eggs to let my neighbor know I made the drop (thus began my 2D addiction).
While playing I got annoyed I knew so lil others playing, so I went online to seek out more friends. I found a really cool place with others like me. WOOHOO! There I met a Fuzzball aka Wookiee that was getting a kick out of my 2D art (I think it’s the Star Wars Geek Girl in me that spoke to the furball in him. In the palm of my hands, he was. 😉 )
I had wrote to those running the site when they put out an advert for writers and asked if I could write for them. I was turned down. Time passed and that site no longer was the fun place it had been. Luckily I had been in contact with the Fuzzball over on Flickr and was redirected to another community, tapped-out.co.uk (Ooooooh Brits! Yummy!)
There me and the Fuzzball continued to share our 2D art with others. I made a lot more new friends that I still adore and talk with to this day. New sites were starting to pop up now to help others with TSTO. Knowing some of them from the old one, I again offered to help write…and again…shot down. Just not what they were looking for. 🙁
At this time I figured I would give up writing and just keep making people giggle with my humor in my comments and with my 2D art. One day though, Wookiee was pulled by Alissa over to a new blog that was just starting up… tstoaddicts.com. Being my fellow furry buddy, he also put in a word for me with them. Next thing I know, I am getting an email from Alissa & Mark to join the Addicts Team. WOOHOOO!!! I was so happy. It was the day after my birthday in August and what an amazing gift they gave me. EEEEEEEEE!!! I learned right away how to frak files, pull dialog, pull images, and then some. It was great. Mark and Alissa took me right in and made me feel at home. (Lil did I know that home would be Alissa’s basement. Lol.) Mark then had to travel and was limited to just pulling images/GIFs for us, so Alissa…Wookiee…and Bunny joined together to make an Awesome support team. (Alissa and me ROCK frakkin files!!)
Another short story long…6 months have passed and I am having the time of my life here. I enjoy helping others, giving insight, and just driving everyone HOPPING mad. (I wonder if those other sites regret not taking me in. Lol) I have made some AMAZING friends here. Love getting locked in Alissa’s basement. Love tossing cheesey poofs into the back of Wookiee’s fur (where he can’t see them). Most of all I LOVE LOVE LOVE the response from readers here. (Even from you grumpy trolls **wink wink nudge nudge**.) I even play while traveling on flights. (Gotta stay on top of things when 30, 000+ feet in the air.)
Here is a lil shot of my “work area” with fellow Addict Team Member Alissa. And no, that is NOT all of our devices we use. Lol. (Fellow Addict Rollan D. over on TOuk made this meme from the pic we posted there.)
Now for a bit extra…(figured better follow Wookiee’s lead on these ones.)
Real Name: You mean it isn’t Bunny? Hmmmm…well…that is MY lil secret. Shhhhhh. I have to keep SOME things to myself still. Makes me all mysterious like. 😉
Favorite Simpsons Character: Shauna & Marge. Shauna for her badass tomboy tough chick attitude. Marge for how she manages to survive the Simpson family and still be an amazingly strong woman.
Favorite Episode: Hmmmm. This is like asking me to pick out my favorite ice cream flavor. There are just TOO many.
Favorite TSTO time of year: Halloween. I always have a blast around the spooky part of the year. I can actually get away with all my tricks. 😉
Favorite TSTO Character: Isn’t it obvious? Shauna. Soooo glad she was brought back into the game. (Just look at my new lil icon I drew. Look familiar?)
Favorite TSTO Building: Bad Dream House. Love the look of it. Helps that it is all spooky and Halloween-esque. (It also reminds me of one of the haunted houses I worked in as a teen.)
Favorite TSTO task: This one varies. So many to pick from. Wiggle Puppy, Tease the ducks, Get Revenge on Homer, Interrogate Squealer…just to name a few.
Brief synopsis of me: I have a deep love for music and the arts. I taught myself how to play piano and guitar (I don’t play very well anymore as I stopped, but thanks to SBE and the beautiful guitar for Christmas…I hope to start getting better again.)
I sang in a touring group in my teens. We won first quite a few times. (I’m an alto.) Love radio. Co-hosted on many a radio shows. Loved being on air. Met many artists, actors, and …well…celebs. (Made the Fuzzball jealous when I spent the morning with the ORIGINAL WOOKIEE, Peter Mayhew.)
I came from a HUGE family, but left home while still in my teens. Been kinda just me since they didn’t talk to me much more after that. Lost over 17 family and friends in a 2 year span. Made the alone feelings even more so. (No worries, I am surrounded by some pretty awesome people and friends now. 😉 ) The tomboy in me loves an adrenaline rush and playing hard. (Too many scars and hospital visits to name.) Though…shockingly…I am not good at any sports. (I tried…cross country, track, basketball, softball, and volleyball. I got by, but no Olympic athlete. Lol.) I love orchids. Such an amazingly beautiful flower with so many different colors and styles.
I LOVE to tell stories. Something I got from my late Father. I guess that kinda comes in handy with the writing. 🙂 I started writing a book when I was 9 years old. Had some interest in it, but never followed through. (I was quite young and didn’t know what possibilities I had.) I am a Geek/ Nerd/ Artist/ Creator/ Crafter/ Tomboy. Is that a mix of enough things?
Aspirations in Life: To just live, love, and laugh. Too much sadness has been in my life. Time for some happy to take over and grow. 🙂
Embarrassing Confession: I get REALLY nervous at times and just…talk. Like a LOT. Like I will not stop talking and start to just go on and on as well as I tend to say the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over. (Just ask poor Alissa.)
So that is essentially a bit about me. Enough to tie you over for now? NO??!!! Well too bad. Guess you will just have to stick around another 6 months and maybe I will tell you more. 😛

Only thing not mentioned in this article, although seen in the pics (yet hard to tell) Eye color, I’m guessing Hazel?
Her eyes are brownish…
So I was close 😀
I hope it’s OK to ask how old you are? I really enjoy this website keep up the good work.
In Earth years or Gallifrey? And which incarnation of my peron?
Lol. I like to see what people guess it is. What’s yours? (Don’t worry, I won’t be offended…promise.)
I’m 38, if I’d have to guess you’re probably around 25?
Nope. But thanks. Alissa is the baby of us. Then Wookiee. Then me. 😉
Well thanks for answering, and you look great whatever age you are. I’m a sucker for dark hair and glasses on women.
Awwww well thank you. 🙂
Hello again, Bunny – Which is your e-mail? 🙂 or could you just write me here your Origin’ID – It will be honnor and great pleasure to be neighbereenos in our favorite game TSTO :)))
It is the Addicts email. tstoaddictsblog@gmail.com
Bunny, I also have a love of orchids, actually I’m a bit past love, more like obsessed. 😉 The black orchid is probably my favorite, however with so many beautiful shapes, sizes, and colors to choose from, it’s hard to pick a favorite but how I would love to get my hands on a black orchid! Is your favorite the bunny orchid?!?!
Again, that freakin Rick Astley video cracks me up! Thanks for the giggles.
Hehehehhe. I think they are the most beautiful flower around. So much depth and dimension to them. So many different colors, shapes, sizes. Each one even more breathtaking.
I giggle every time I rick roll another one. 😉
I think I feel an innocent Bunny crush coming on <3
Geeky and pretty, so I'm tempted to ask where you were when I was young and looking…. ***sigh*** I think the answer would be "not born yet."
Happy tapping!
Awwww too kind. So many think I am so young. I really am not. Alissa is the baby round here. 😉
I own my geek. Proud of it. 😛
I think your geek is adorable.
Awwww thanks 😉
Bunny, you are so pretty, and I loved reading your bio. Don’t ever change.
Awwwwww thank you so much. You are very sweet. The only thing I plan on changing is my clothes. Lol 😉
Oh that’s hot! 😉
I think…. Now that’s dangerous…. Anyways I think that we should have a contest of who can guess bunnies real name. I would have to guess that it is a family classic like Elizabeth… Or Georgia. Or Yvonne.
lol those are all wrong. Her name is Bunny 😉
Although…if you take her to Starbucks (i swear she REALLY does this) and she says her name is Bunny they often write it as Binny. Usually makes me giggle 😉
Ok, i realise its a little late but i am curious about your name change…
Why did you call yourself Bunnydud?
Nice pic by the way.
Bunny is my…ummm… “name”. Lol
As far as the dud…it was pulled from part of my name. Some letters I just added to the Bunny. It has gotten too confusing for people to keep the dud. (For some reason people read it as DUDE…and I am most definitely NOT a man. Lol) So now I have just dropped the dud altogether and will just stick with Bunny. 😉
And thank you.
I think Double D said it best. You’re a bunny but certainly no dud.
By the way…feel free to ask us any questions. We try to answer and help all we can. 😉
Thanks, im sure i will ask more questions, its in my nature…
Lol…mine too. 😉
Who knew Bunnys were so funny? I guess we all do, since your posts are good for a giggle. Keep up the great writing
I love making people laugh. Laughter is the best medicine. Glad you enjoy what I do. 😉
Great post’s from you all :-))
Who could not love bunny :-))))
Awwwwww well thanks. 😉
Apparently there are those that just don’t get me. Lol
Thanks for sharing that little window into your life! I almost went into radio myself but then my dad was all, satellite radio is going to take over and there will be no dj’s. Womp. All good though. I’m glad you’re here, that I found this site. The three of you seem like people I’d be friends with in real life. You guys have really enriched my gaming experience and I love that there’s a welcoming place for people like me. I heart TSTO addicts! Happy valentines day 🙂
Well thanks for loving us. We truly do enjoy what we are doing and are having a blast. I am a silly person in real life too (just ask poor Alissa) 😉
Cool read Bunny! I am glad you keep us laughing!
Thanks Mags. I figure if I am gonna get laughed at, I want to be the one initiating it. 😉
Thumbs up
…if I weren’t such an old man…
…I’d sooo make a fool outta myself over you
shower you with compliments in all you do…
No, no, no…no poem…too private a matter…
Gorgeous both inside and out…really.
Alissa and Wookie…hope that you can keep the crazies away from her…cause if I were 20 years younger…
God bless you,
Freak
PS Awesome Springfield there Wookie!!!
Freak…i’ve just added you (sorry busy week forgot to do it earlier!). 🙂
Any again…why do you think I keep her locked in my basement?! 😉
Awwww ever the kind man 😉 Thank you. Brightened up my day.
(FYI…I do NOT look my age…or act it for that matter. Lol) 😉
Sorry I thought you were a dude…won’t make that mistake again.
Well that’s a relief. 🙂
Thanks Freak. Would you believe I wish my town was better and am always considering completely wrecking it and starting over?
Wookie your town is so loaded that my tablet freezes or crashes when I visit you…got some bootleg StarWsrs stuff going on up in there???
It happens when towns have tons of decorations. I had trimmed my town down but my VD 2D seems to have brought back the freezes. Sorry.
I’m so glad addicts was created, I’ve been playing since February last year (when it FINALLY became available on android, I constantly sulked that tsto was only on ios before then) and read a very popular blog from then until the krustyland update (which landed on my birthday, I was so excited!) *ahem* so I was in the wilderness, finding the blogs in it’s wake not to my taste, until I saw a comment about addicts on another blog, and found this place! I read one post from bunny and thought to myself these are my kinda people! After all, being a panda, we furry tomboy creatures have to stick together lol 😉
Aww I’m so glad you found us! 🙂
Well, Bunny gets my vote for best use of a Rick-roll and most adorable rabbit on the interwebs. Seriously, the first thing that came to mind after reading this post was the Abominable Snowman’s line from Looney Tunes (“Just what I always wanted. My own little bunny rabbit. I will name him George, and I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him…”).
Why do you think she’s locked in my basement?! 😉
Well thank you cap’n caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaave man! 😉
Wooohooo!!! Rollin rollin rollin 😉
I LOVED that cartoon furry creature. That line makes me giggle to this day. I use it all the time. “Just what I always wanted… a xxxx…I will love it and squeeze it and name it George (Georgia if girl)” 😉
Wow, Capt. Caveman, I will never be as cool as that guy. Plus, doesn’t he run around with several gorgeous women… I’d be lucky to find one.
It is the first thing I thought of when I saw your name. 😉
Oh Bunny, you are just as sweet as Candy! 😛
UH OH…watch out or you’ll get a cavity. 😉
Thanks Cguy 😉
You’re adorable! (It’s hard to tell by the tiny user pic!)
If you guys ever need another addict to help, or let you out of the basement, just let me know 😉
I’m glad you found a home here.
Awww well thanks! Love living in Alissa’s basement. She makes me feel needed. 😉
Woo-hoo! Just keep doing the laundry while you’re down there…those towels aren’t gonna wash themselves! 😉
That many towels, Alissa? What kind of house are you running?
Hey you should see how many towels it takes Wookiee to dry off all that fur! And Bunny…don’t get me started! She’ll use every towel in the place!
A bath house 😉
I’m OK with the bathhouse, just as long as Bette Midler performs there!
Both have been very good reads. Enjoyed the bio’s/origin stories for this site. Great work.. keep them coming. 🙂
Thanks 🙂
Great read if this was a dating site i would be very interested in a cute funny bunny like you lol xxx
Send flowers and gifts to Addicts c/o…. Lol
Thanks 😉
Hey you got off easy! The other day she was asking for karats! 😉
As I have said on many occasions, while I like what all three of you do on here, Bunny is my favorite! It’s good getting to know you guys a little better with these write-ups you’re doing. It’s nice to see there are other creative, science fiction loving, witty people out there, because they sure are few and far between here in Pennsylvania! Thanks!
Awww thanks 😉
I appreciate the compliments. Really a good day to get them. 😉
Bunny! I love this anniversary thing you’re all doing, it’s nice to get to know the people behind the strange names. You rock! It sounds like you’ve had a hard time in the past, it’s inspiring that you’re happy and doing so well. I wish I was a bunny ^_^ writing about yourselves answers questions, but also makes me want to ask even more! Have you guys ever thought about making a questions “box”?
Thanks, I have my up and down days.
Today…meh. I just try and pick myself back up again and keep moving forward. This blog helps me so much. I get great joy out of writing and interacting with readers like YOU!
Hmmmm…Ask an Addict? We do have the “Your Questions” area, but you are asking something more individual?
You are always welcome to ask us pretty much anything and we will answer to best of our abilities. Also, feel free to use our Email. TSTOAddictsblog@gmail.com
Just use something like “A Question For Bunny” in the subject line.
Look forward to bringing more sillyness your way. 😉
Stay tuned….we have something special planned for Friday! 😉
Damn! You got me with th Rick-roll!! Lol.
You’re WELCOME!! 😉
Bunny you love the British or we look good to eat, well we aren’t slight mildew aftertaste I understand.
As for living in a locked basement don’t worry that will never happen here in blighty we don’t have basements.
It must be the “accent”. I have always been drawn to them. Something about the actors, comedy, musicians, chocolates…they just pull me. 😉
(Not my fault the Magician Tim made me attack those stupid Knights. He said they stole my carrots and water. NOBODY takes my water!) 😉
Yes I’ve seen love actually but thought that was just a joke about the British accent.
Oh that movie. They squished as many brits as possible in there…even “Mr. Walking Dead” (Rick) himself and Bilbo Baggins (though I still prefer him in Hitchhiker’s Guide)… Lol.
I actually more enjoy watching it to see all the actors I adore in so different roles. 😉
First Wookie, now Bunny. Loving this anniversary series of articles.
Great to actually get to know you guys!
Glad you’re enjoying them! I put the entertaining ones first…i’ll bore you all tomorrow 😉
We figure you talk to US all the time, might help to put faces to those behind all these words. 😉
