"Gee, Mom, who pissed in your waffles?" I laughed out loud, for reals, and hurt my back at this, but it was WORTH. IT!
"Indeed, they taste like victory." Aaaah, Breandan. You are... I'm at a loss for an adjective, but I love you, man.
OMG! Elegant Swan! Is that store content, from the dance studio, or what? Anyway, it is PERFECT! Trance, my boy, I love you, too. And the connection to Draco just killed it, in a good way. Draco is not a nice guy, but (how do I put a spoiler tag inside as spoiler tag? Uhhhh, if you haven't read all of the Harry Potter novels AND the new play, just skip the rest of this paragraph. Stop reading... NOW!
So, anyway, I know that Draco is a jerk, but I also love how J.K. Rowling 1) set him up as a child who has been abused by his father, and basically groomed to be a jerk, so you really feel sorry for him, as well as angry at him, and 2) gave him some AWESOME character growth. DANG that man is a sympathetic character, especially once he's a father, himself. Also, who says you can't break the cycle of abuse? YOU GO, DRACO! WOOT! You're an example to a whole lot of abusive jerk-bags who use their own childhood abuse as an excuse to pass it on another generation. I want to give you a hug, and I really wish your wife had lived, because I actually want you to be happy, but maybe you'll find a nice woman to be a new wife and stepmother to your son, and find some happiness? I hope so. Just not Pansy, OK? NOT Pansy. And also, THANK YOU for proving that just because you're Slytherin, doesn't mean you're evil. Well, you know, you and Snape and that potions professor whose name escapes me, but who I adored, even though his vicarious ambition sort of squicked me. The main character trait for Slytherin house was NOT evil. Although if it was really cunning, I have no idea who those two idiots got in. I think it was more of a "nobody else wants you, so I'll take you, if you're pure-blood" thing. Sort of like The Bastard in "The Curse of Challion," and OMG, there are SO MANY GOOD BOOKS! OK, back to the Sims. Sorry about the tangent. But have you read "The Curse of Challion?" It gave me a sort of fondness for ravens (or is it crows? I get confused) and rats, and other un-appreciated and often assumed to be evil omens animals. I really LIKE the pantheon that Lois McMaster Bujold set up in her world. It is made of awesome.
OK, spoiler-skippers! It's safe to read again. Back to the sims!
Thank you for that kind comment about receptionists. Too many people look down on receptionists, thinking it is some sort of cushy job that anyone can do, but let me tell you, it is VERY challenging. You have to think fast, know everyone and everything they do, and never press the wrong button on the telephone. And you have to smile all the time, even while you are politely but firmly telling pushy people who don't belong to go jump in a lake. But not the little lake on the business park property. That's just a pretty pond, for aesthetic value. I mean a real one, somewhere far, far away. Like, on Naboo, or something. Have a
nice day!
"safety first"
"(You know you have suffered when a properly functioning game makes you bow to fictional gods.)" Uh huh. Been there. Done that.
Wait, wait. Tearing yourself away from all things gaming? WHAT?! Please don't do that to us! "Peace out" on your own time. You have a story to finish!
Awwwww, Siesta and Riza are so cute together! Riza actually looks like Siesta's baby in that picture. And matching "outfits". Well, you know, blankie.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Dusty! How could you? Also, I had no idea you could actually get tears in your sims eyes?!
Whoa. Just whoaaaa. OK, I now officially despise Breandan. Poor Rhapsody! Siri was wrong, to be sure, but at least she wasn't abandoning her own offspring, or anything like that. I always blame the "committed" person more than the "homewrecker," unless the "homewrecker" is also "committed" in their own relationship, in which case two adulterers totally suck beachballs through a straw. But in this case, Siri is just a jerk, and Breandon is a complete, and utter JACKASS. WAaaaah! I need to reach into my screen and hug poor Rhapsody!
OK, how are you getting tourists from the future? I didn't know that was even possible!
Oh, no, Jada! Don't! You're too good for him! Although, I have to say, that insane face is AWESOME!
"Shut up, Charcoal!"
OMG, the picture of Jada "mulling over her feelings" on top of the swimming pool is fantastic!
HAHAHahhAAA~ "floordrobe." Oh, that reminds me. I really need to put away the clothes I washed last week. Or was it the week before? I totally lost track. Meh. The nice thing about being disabled is that I totally can live in my bathrobe if I want to, so I really do laundry really rarely, and just how old ARE those clean clothes? I don't know. Eh, I'll put them away tomorrow. Maybe.
Also, YAY, Kip! At last!
