~~1) Pick up Mom and Dad's presents.~~ Wrapped and under the tree!
~~2) Post "Spirit of the Season."~~ It's up! Read It at FanFiction.net or Back To The Vampire.
3) Post a holiday picture -- if possible, "Happy Diverse Holidays." They're all inked, and SantaDoc is fully colored! It should be ready by tomorrow!
4) Let Emmett Von Braun host a little Holiday bash on December 24th. Same report -- today I played Strangetown Sims.
~~5) Decorate the Sim Muse House to show you sort of what we did with the real one.~~ Look Below!
Yup, after a bit of searching, I discovered that the actual Christmas Tree was also on the site, so yay, decorating finished. Here's how the Muse House (where myself and my muses "live") looks:

The view from outside -- notice the new chimney.

The front walk. We have two glowing reindeer, two giant nutcrackers, and some little Frock trees acting as an honor guard.

We also have a friendly fake snowman. :)

A look at the lights. Outside we have multicolored. The "lobby" has red and green. The main hall has white.

Another view of the front, with walls down to see inside. The palm tree was my substitute while I searched for a real Christmas tree.

I temporarily added a chimney and fireplace, since the stockings won't go anywhere else. Another nutcracker honor guard.

My room. Christmas tree, presents, mistletoe (evil grin), poinsettas, and some paper Santa and Reindeer garlands.

And nutcrackers. I love nutcrackers. I have a normal sized one actually, he sits on one of my bookshelves.

Some of the boys' rooms -- everyone got a little frock tree for their room.

And of course a gingerbread house in the kitchen. Yum. :)
-M: Nice place we've got, huh?-
-D: Too bad you can't show the basement.-
I know, but the basement came into existence after the house was built. The basement has the red and green lights and another Christmas tree.
-TD: One that dances to the tune of "Jingle Bells!-
. . . You're crazy, did you know that?
-TD: *nodnod* Emily tells me all the time.-
All stuff from the Sims2 offical site. Ask for maxiodmonkey.

Played Gil and Agatha in La Fiesta Tech, because I wanted to. They're doing well. Gil and Agatha made two new best friends -- Agatha is best friends with Debbie now, while Gil best friended Professor Kearney. Gil is also friends with Demi Love, but I can't let him see her anymore.
-M2: Why not?-
Because one of the features I hate about Nightlife came into play -- if you have chemistry with someone, you automatically greet and say goodbye with kissing. Annoys the HELL out of me! That should be a USER-CHOICE-ONLY option.
-D: Yes! Definitely! Especially in situations where I'm friends with Lorraine McFly!-
-M: GAH, YES!-
Now that I've scarred my muses, let's check in on them. The money trees are doing well -- I added a fifth one, so on a good harvest they make 200 simoleons.

-TD: You love Underwear!Agatha, don't you?-
I do. I need to get some period undies for Gil as well. They also have a nice Energizer. I swear, that thing is PERFECT for all my Knowledge Sims. :D Not only is it damn useful, it also looks great.

-VD: We second that. *enthusiastic nodding from other Docs*-
Plenty of studying going around -- I need to buy them a computer by senior year, term papers make things easier.

They also enjoy their telescope -- Agatha even tried spying. Luckily she wasn't caught.

-VD2: It's rather hard to be caught by a bush.-
Well, Vidcund might have noticed her peeking. . . . I also decided to try out a couple of my Christmas decorations on them. For a night they got the Christmas tree and the mistletoe.

The tree didn't do much of anything -- there was the option to turn it on, but I guess that only works indoors.

The mistletoe, however -- you got the option to stand under it, then a person could holiday kiss you. As the only place with a ceiling was in the bathroom, that's where it went.

Agatha finally fell in love with Gil, and they decided to kiss again. :p

But other than that, it was basically business as usual. Gil painted a flower picture worth 11 simoleons, a llama mascot appeared (and apparently had chemistry with Agatha!) and life went on.

At the end of Sophomore year, however, I finally had enough funds to provide them with real walls. The pen has become a small house, with a separate bedroom even. Yay!

-DW: Bet the Sims were happy.-
They should be. They gained a chess game and a toaster oven, so they have a few more conviences. Plus they have a roof now.
Random Silly Pics:

Double Heart Whammy!

Farting Agatha. Yes, she laughed afterwards.

I love "Congratulations, you're hot."

Work was stressful. One asshole even wandered out on me, talking on the phone, while I got his pickup. *fume* At least there's only one more day before my three-day Christmas weekend.
-OD: This should be fun. I look forward to seeing our group picture up.-
Yeah, me too. *returns to coloring it*
