Happy Birthday Lorraine!
May. 31st, 2007 10:04 pmMy brain keeps trying to trick me into thinking it's Friday, so for a bit I thought I'd missed ANOTHER one. I really need a new calendar.
-M: Happy birthday Mom!-
-M2: We're heading out right now to visit our respective versions.-
-VM: *wince* I don't think mine's going to be a very fun visit.-
*patpat* You don't have to, you know.
-VM: No, I want to. We're getting along better nowadays. I just hate seeing that stupid hotel.-
-VDM: Just be thankful she's still alive.-
-VM: You're welcome to come with me and see if you can call living in the Pleasure Paradise with Biff 'living.'-
-VuM: Ugh, I know. Why don't you visit with your other self's mom?-
-VM: I am, I just want to visit my mom -- Mom #1 -- first.-
-WRM: See, now I feel weird, because I know Cheshire Cat Lorraine isn't my mother.-
-MF: You're sure? She and March Hare George certainly seem to know how to get it on.-
-WRM: Do I LOOK like I have any cat in me?-
-MF: Might not mean anything -- my Lorraine's a cat too, and I don't look like her.-
-WRM: Hmmm. Vic?-
*shrug* Damned if I know -- haven't gotten that far yet.
-HD: You don't know anything about my Marty's family?!-
Not quite -- I AM thinking about making MHG his father, but I'm thinking the mother was a one night stand he had a few years back.
-WRM: Oh, lovely.-
-HD: We don't need scandals in Wonderland.-
What scandal? She didn't remember George's name and was pretty well set, being one of the White Rabbit family, so she just had Marty and raised him best she could.
-WRM: So what about the Cheshire Cat?-
Well, she is involved with "Daddy" -- possible stepmom?
-WRM: Works for me! I'm off.-
-MF: Me too. I want to get her present to her before it goes bad.-
Goes ba -- *smells something distinctly fishy* Oooh! Go, go!
-MF: *bounds off, chuckling*-
-TTV: When did we get Atlanic salmon?-
You can tell what that is from the smell?
-TTV: I grew up around a fish cannery. After I stopped getting sick. . . .-
Heh, I see.
Anyway, I put up my
backtothefanfic challenge fic a little early today -- right before work, in fact. So feel free to enjoy Stuck With You.
-VD2: *nods approvingly* Very nice.-
And it even features Lorraine. :p
-VD: Always a plus. We do seem to drive the girls crazy, don't we? Mystie would agree with Clara about my inventing hours.-
-VD2: Josephine's actually dragged me off to bed once or twice if I hit a good streak with my alternate worlds theories.-
-D: Gypsy has a secret weapon -- Sigmund. It's impossible to concentrate with that cat mowing in your ear.-
-J: And my Trilogy self's very right -- Marty DOES stick to the sheets when he doesn't want to get up.-
-TD: You could always borrow my Wake Up Hand.-
-J2: Thanks, but we'd like to keep Marty's private property free from squishing.-
-TD: Didn't squish things with my Marty.-
Your Marty is the only one who wears boxers. The rest wear briefs.
-HD: . . . I know it's from the movies, but I still find it a little strange you know Marty's underwear choices. *said while pouring tea from an upside-down teapot -- in other words, he's holding the cup upside-down above the pot, and the tea's shooting UP from the spout*-
*eyes scene* You're one to talk about strange.
-HD: Tea does not involve covering one's private parts.-
-TD: Agatha wouldn't agree with you.-
Come on, tell us about the tea cozies.
-TD: I'm actively trying to forget!-
-RPD: *trying to steer the conversation away from underwear* Well, it's the new Hill Valley day!-
Okay, I'll stop with the underwear talk and update. As is somewhat appropriate for Lorraine's birthday, we have an update from her siblings. The Baines are doing very well for themselves. Milton and Toby made best friends over breakfast this morning.

Joey FINALLY got his Crime job! He's currently a pickpocket.

The other three all got promotions -- Toby to Paramedic, Sally to Sous Chef, and Milton to All Star.

Sally also brought home Abijheet, whom she ponderously made friends with. Lots of skilling today too, as they went for points in their jobs and to fulfill wants.

Joey had Doc over to boost scores for both himself --

And Toby.

Interesting little glitch this morning -- Toby looked through the telescope this morning right before going to work. After he was gone, Doc ran over and, I guess since Toby wasn't there, yelled at Joey. Luckily, I cancelled the shove interaction, so no hard feelings.
-RPD: I'd be more impressed with how they could SEE me, considering how far their house is from mine in the game.-
Telescopes know no bounds in Sims!
Finally, with the money they're bringing in, I remodeled the house a bit more. The study room has been expanded to include Milton and Sally's career rewards, and we have wallpapers!

Eventually I'll add stuff like a garden and a pool -- they have a nice big lot to play with, and I intend to make use of it.
-RPD: Interesting. Anything new between Joe Statler and Sally?-
Not at the moment, but we'll see.
Now, maybe some more "Roll of the Dice" DVD. Or more poking on "What Lies Within." I KNOW how I want that to end, it's getting there that's the problem.
-DW: Maybe you'd get a better idea if you got some more sleep.-
Come on, guys. . . .
-OD: We just like having a conscious author, that's all.-
Hush up, your story is cooking right along. And I'm almost to the point where you dangle Biff off the side of the hotel.
-OD: *tentacles chatter* We're looking forward to that. But you still need your sleep.-
I know, but -- well, I'll try.
-D: Just don't play any more Motherload.-
Heh, that I can do.
-M: Happy birthday Mom!-
