Holy crap, a update that comes less than a month after the next one? WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?
Unfortunately, it's not a particularly long one, but some stuff happens, so hopefully you'll think it's worth reading anyway.

We start our visit to the Leeches with a father-daughter dance party!! Everybody do the Shift Side To Side And Bob Your Head!

While this may help build up her dance skill and possibly make her eligible for the dance scholarship, I'm canceling this out before we get awkward father-daughter grinding.

Just gonna ignore your daughter having cake for breakfast?
Terrence: It's got milk, and eggs, and wheat! It's practically a breakfast food!
That's practically stolen from a Bill Cosby routine I half-remember!

With husband and daughter off to work and school respectively, Kim fills the lonely hours watching -- boxing?

She is oddly enthusiastic about seeing men beat each other's brains out. I'm slightly worried. Also, while she wastes time with this and burning chili con carne, her husband sees a UFO and gets a Body skill point, while Lucy earns $100 from happy relatives for her A+s. Just saying.

La Shawn Johnston: *thinking Okay, why is this lady talking to me?
Because she's lonely, wants to meet someone knew, and you count even if you're a teenager. Also, clear the area for more interesting Sims (read: Simon in his dorky hat).

Lucy: Dorky hat wearers unite!
Yeah, that's the idea -- mind falling in love with him?

Lucy: Hi Dad!
Terrence: Hi Lucy. I just made Senior Officer. That means I can kill people and the military will cover it up.
Lucy: Dad, we're not even going steady yet.
Terrence: Just stating a fact, honey.
Simon: *thinking* Just keep smiling. . .

Simon: Uh, is your father cheering and poking his arm through the mailbox?
Lucy: It's a Family Sim thing.

Lucy: Your tolerance of my father's possibly homicidal weirdness attracts me to you!
Just a crush?! Oh for -- how hard are you to please, woman?!

Simon: *muffled* I appreciate the gesture, Lucy, I really do, but I'm getting your hood fur all in my mouth. . .
Lucy: And your nose?
YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED TO HIM. YOU HAVE NO CHOICE.

Lucy: All right, all right -- Simon, tell me what you want!
Simon: To go to college! Thanks for asking!
Lucy: . . . I thought you'd say something romantic.
Simon: Now you know how it feels.

Lucy: Did anyone see me fall in love with Simon?
Is he that bad?
Lucy: No, of course not. I just like messing with you.
Joy.

Obligatory shot of Sims doing things that require progress bars of some kind!

Kim calls up Michelle Tse to make friends.
Kim: Yes, I'm the married one who lives downstairs. I knocked on your door, you wouldn't come out! Look, I need to make some friends I have any hope of keeping my Aspiration up, so just chat with me about random pictograms already.

And we end with Lucy having a much more successful chat with her friend Elizabeth. And she proves she does actually give a damn about Simon by being all enthusiastic about her first kiss. Whew. Last thing I need is a Sim revolt.
Next up, the Turrets and Wheatley! I'll think of something for them to do.
