crossover_chick | It's APRIL Showers, May FLOWERS, Weather (Reply)

Currently cold and miserable here, and supposed to remain that way for the rest of the week.
-J: Ugh. That sucks.-
You ain't kidding. I finally get to put the warm-weather stuff in the front of my closet, and we promptly get a week's-worth of rain. :(
-D: Some days, I wonder if it'll ever be summer.-
It will be, eventually. Don't lose hope.
-M: Yeah, we know.-
-VD: How about some fan fiction to help take our minds off it?-
Yeah, I know -- I was pretty bad yesterday about that. At least I got my written "Boy Genius" page done and some more sketches for "Werewolves of London."
-OD: Which really isn't too bad. You were mainly bad in the typing category.-
-VDM: And you got our entries up on the Muse Page.-
True. And I did rectify the typing situation today -- managed to edit the second chapter of "BTTX-2" (thanks

bttfbabe and give "Big Teeth" another look-over. I think I'll just go and post that tomorrow, I was basically just fixing a few comma errors and switching a few words.
-VD2: That would make up for a lot, yes. And then it's onto "The Originals?"-
I suppose it is, yes. Then "Musevolution" -- and I don't have titles for the stories about the girls and the subs. Hmmm.
-M2: "Sidekicks" for us?-
Hmmm. "Every Hero Needs a Sidekick?"
-VuM: Works for me.-
-VM: Kinda ironic though -- in the movies, we were the heroes. No offense, Dad.-
-VD2: None taken, I know canon. But in the stories she writes--
Yeah, exactly. As for the girls. . . .
-TD: Perhaps mention something about "True Love." Each of our girlfriends is supposed to be our personal one and only.-
-D: Despite the fact that we're all, technically, the same man.-
"The Course of True Love. . . ." then?
-TD: That could work, yes.-
Say, weren't you working on the brain printer?
-TD: *sulk* I was. I ran into some technical difficulties, and as I was planning on improving it anyway, I took it apart. That's when Holly and Victorian Dressed Marty dragged me up here, insisting that I eat.-
Well, you really should eat. Remember what happened when you overSparked that one time?
-H: She's right. You don't want to end up like one of the nutcases, right?-
-TD: True, true. And I was starting to eye my notes a little oddly. . . .-
*cough*Sawdustpancakemix*cough*
-DW: You just LOVE that pancake cooker, don't you?-
Hey, the inventions on the Ride rock socks. I just happen to think that pancake thing is the funniest out of them. The CHOW TIME dog dish is pretty cool too.
-MF: Can't argue with that.-
Oh! And I actually got over my Nervous Nellieness and switched My Documents to the D drive! Everything seems to have transferred smoothly. :)

In Sims News -- a Strangetown Day, visiting the Smyth-Jones family. When I arrived, I was shocked to find that a) it was 6 P.M. on a Saturday and b) that certain items had simply vanished from the house. I nearly panicked, wondering if I had a game bug --
Then I had the foresight to check their inventories. You know, I had completely forgotten that my next Strangetown movie was to marry off Henry and Adelaide? Oh well, one extra day at their original house wouldn't kill me.
Right off the bat we got something interesting -- General Buzz, still furious at J.C., came along to steal the paper. Oh, how mature.

J.C. and Adelaide used the bathroom, then J.C. rocked out to her MP3 player while Adelaide called up Abijheet Cho to try and make buddies.

After that, it was skilling time -- J.C. excercised her little butt off for a Body point while Adelaide studied up Logic and Cleaning for her job.

While Adelaide was busy with that, J.C. also took the opportunity to call up Ripp and arrange a sneak-out. She got out and back without being caught, despite the fact Ripp drove up to get her in a huge honking limo.

After that, it was time for a nap into Sunday. After a breakfast of gelatin, I decided to play around with J.C.'s appearance. She's supposed to look like me, you see -- and as I currently have a long ponytail, well:

-DW: . . . We would have noticed if you grew skunk ears and a tail.-
*giggle* Couldn't resist. At any rate, J.C. seemed to like the new look. After getting her new accessories, she went and pranked Adelaide playfully.

Adelaide took it well, but also gave J.C. some encouragement in being neat. (I thought that meant J.C. would clean up the puddle, but no, she merely cleaned herself. Adelaide took care of the puddle.)

J.C. grabbed herself a spot at the art easel after her encouragement, while I decided it was high time Adelaide got a makeover. This was the result:

Holy crap, I never realized how pretty she actually was! OFB hairstyles rock socks, I swear -- the same thing happened to Marie when I gave her the DellaRosa hair. I mean, look at her! She looks pretty eating Jello!

However, her original formal clothes? Not cutting it. And as she wanted to buy new clothes anyway -- road trip! J.C. accompanied her -- I don't know how she managed to keep from screaming as her tail was dragged along the asphalt. ;)

Adelaide bought herself a new formal while J.C. grilled up some hot dogs. Adelaide's old formal was a pretty plain bluish dress -- her new one is -- well, it's like Holly's in

revison_doc, only with dark blue instead of red. J.C. ended up buying a new maroon formal as well.

After relieving themselves, it was back home for a bit more skill-building. J.C. finished her painting and sold it for 118 simoleons -- not bad.

The girls set their new formals, then Adelaide went to bed as J.C. de-skunked and had a TV dinner.

Then it was bedtime for her too. A quick tweak to their inventories, and they're ready to move out. Next week is the wedding! *writes that down so she won't forget* And hey, this'll be the first wedding where the Sims where their own formals, instead of the regular stuff. Nice.

Okay, back to work. Gotta get something done today.
-VD: *sadly* Still stalled out regarding "V.D.?"-
Yeah, sorry. I should skip around some more, I seem to make more progress when I target the most problematic areas. . . .
