ink_sec_simsOkay, I'm not really moving to a "one update a month" format, I just have a limited amount of hours in the day, and lately LJ RP was taking top priority. Plus I do have other neighborhoods I like to play, so. . . But yes, we have an update on the Garfunkles! It's not the most interesting update in the world, but it is an update!
You'd better be talking about the kids you already have, Amanda, and not expressing a desire for another one. There's absolutely no frigging room.
Sam: Honey, what's with that pair of smiley faces over your head?
Amanda: Just made best friends with our older son, honey!
Simon: *too busy nomming down gelatin to talk*
He did this twice in a row. Simon, I'm worried about you.
The kids went off to school, leaving the adults at home to be boring. Knowing Carey needed some main-family appropriate clothing, I sent Samuel off to the micro-mall. He insisted on making an ass of himself first. (Seriously, why did I make him so playful?)
Vyn Jefferies: The way you carry that shrink-wrapped pile of shirts is awesome!
Groceries were also purchased to top off the family fridge.
Unable to wait until he gets home, Samuel decides to quiet his stomach with vending machine cheese crackers. I'd complain about it costing 7 simoleons of the family's hard-earned money, but you do get a pretty damn big bag of them.
Sam may not be happy to see you, Grand High Evil Witch Tosha Bradshaw, but I am! I was wondering where Rosalie's counterpart was.
Sam tries to be neighborly and engage her in conversation. . .
But to no one's surprise, the Grand High Evil Witch is a bit of a bitch. (Better than a creepy cougar stalker, though.)
Back at home, Sam takes some time to indulge his hobby and spot birds that he probably shouldn't be seeing where he lives. (Then again, Inkwell Secundus IS based off the Twikki Island template. . .)
Amanda, meanwhile, has decided to visit neighbor Kaylynn and make proper pals. "Yeah, I have two best friends. Who doesn't?"
Out of curiosity, Amanda asks what Kaylynn does -- after all, we already know Lilly Do's a robber. Kaylynn informs her that she's a Battle of the Bands Judge. Funny, I didn't see her sitting with Huey Lewis in the Hill Valley auditorium. . . .
Apparently it's a busier job that one might expect, as Kaylynn leaves shortly afterward. Amanda brushes up on her hobby and reads the Cuisine magazine. "Hey, they printed my recipe for sweet & sour corn flakes! Awesome!"
The boys come home and engage in boyish shenanigans. This is all about the ridiculous face on Carey.
Ahh, to be young and armed with a pillow you could smack people with with impunity. . . .
Amanda heads to work, leaving the boys to their own devices. Rather than throwing a wild manly party, they do their homework and work on their skills. My Sims, ladies and gentlemen!
A strange little chance card about what food to order for her peeps leads to Amanda coming home with a friend in tow. And it's -- Justus Landry, the PAPERBOY?? What the everloving -- you see, this is why you never feed the delivery people. They follow you home. (Well, they'd do that anyway, actually. . .just pretend my joke made sense, okay?)
Justus is quickly sent packing. As the above would be a weird image to end the update on, have this cute pic of the boys sprawled across their beds and Amanda getting ready to cuddle up to her husband.
Okay, I'm definitely going to work on getting the Leech update out sooner. Can't promise anything particularly exciting will happen, but we'll see. Teenager birthdays are coming up for a couple of these kids, at any rate. . .
