Cha 3.4 Time for a Vacation

2010-05-01T03:58:00.000-07:00

Welcome back to the Sandy LisonB legacy where we are watching the 4th generation grow up.
We last left this family right in the middle of Cole's birthday. (child #2) Let's watch him finish his growth spurt into childhood.
me: no, no, Blond Chick, don't get in the way or anything!
Blond Chick: I was here with Avri and thought I'd get right on into the mix.

Cole: I still have hands!
me: and fugly hair, too.
*Cheese*

Cole gets a makeover.

Time to paint the legacy portrait.

Aribeth finishes it up quickly (thanks to her maxed out creativity points)

Sandy, Esther and now, Aribeth. Yay!

me: Okay, Esther. This is an odd place to play your gameboy.
Esther: Well, I had nothing better to do...I've maxed all skills out.
me: well, not all...but....

Cole's first day of school.
Me: how did you do?
Cole: I killed it! I walked right in and said, "hey, Teach! Gi'me an A."

me: I see "the Teach" complied?
Cole: I don't understand.
me: yeah, I hear that from all the little boys and girls.

Cole: I'm not so keen on this homework stuff.

Family dinner
Gpa Neil: I don't like the snow! It snows a lot in the winter, and I think we should take a vacation.
me: me too!

me: what are you boys up to?
It looks like Orbit is wondering the same thing.

Cole: *heh heh*

Sorry, I skipped the suds...oops!
Well, it's time for vacation...get ready to be done with the coats for a while!

And the destination?
The tropics!
Aribeth: first things first! Sandcastle building time.
Orbit: right there? I'm thinking over here is better.

Family portrait time! (Esther took the picture)

Aribeth "wanted" to swim in the ocean, so in she went.
me: you know, it's safer to swim with a buddy, in the day time.

Avri gets a massage.

The boys play in the hammocks

me: HEY! YOU! Creepy stalker guy! GTFO!

Darius relaxes

Waiting for a native dish to be served

Oh look, it's a pineapple treat.

Aribeth: we're checking out.
BellBoy: sign here and be on your way.

BellBoy: What?

Heading out to the family vacation home.

Visiting the ancient ruins

me: What are you doing, Avri?
Avri: *sneak* *sneak* *sneak*

Avri: * * * *

Avri: heh, heh!
me: uh......

Who disturbs my slumber?

The punishment for disturbing my eternal sleep is.....DEATH.....BY LAVA!

Avri: uh, oops. Gosh.....uh, sorry.

More exploring takes us to a pirate ship.

Orbit: Walk the plank you sinner!

me: ha ha ha ha!
Orbit: it's not funny! I almost fell off!

Cole: Take that, Fencing-Stick-Pirate!

Demetrius: Man the bow! You! Invisible pirate!

Demetrius: oh, you saw me, huh?

Orbit "plunders" the captain's quarters.....
So this is where I'll leave off......

Cha 3.3 Alien Return

2010-03-28T03:46:00.000-07:00

Welcome back to the Aeric/Atina Legacy!
It's been another hiatus, but the game moves on.

We re-enter the home to find out how things are going.
Christina: you take another hiatus, and you'll have to answer to ME!

G-pa Bastion takes Dylan out to play in the snow.
Dylan: Snow! yay!
Bastion: Snow! yay!...... help me up.

I kept hearing the low growl from the speakers and it took me a while to find that it was coming from Abigail.
love it!

It's time to get another dog for the family. Evey body 'wants' it...so Puppy Cocoa arrives.

Christina: cuddles for my Cocoa!

Abigail has a cute grin...and she really liked little Cocoa.

Abigail: *sniff* *sniff* *lick*

Bastion hasn't quite taken to Cocoa.

Dylan has....
Dylan: GOGGY!

Dustin waits to be picked up in the crib.

Dustin's turn to grow up.
Johnston: up you go, Sparkly Pants!

Burst!

Christina: *smiles*
Looks like another birthday.

woot woot. *yawn*
uh, more enthusiasm needed.

Christina: *blow*
Dylan: *heeeee*

Sparklies

Dylan's child makeover. What a cutie, but kind of generic.

Dylan: jen-eric! *punch* who's jen-eric! *punch* I'm not jen-eric. *punch* What does it mean anyway...*punch*

Dustin learns stuff:

Poor Bastion...it's always the same thing.

toddler Dustin spam:

Dylan: I don't like school.

me: well, Serenity is a new friend, right?

Dylan ditches Serenity for a hug from Mom

Christina needs a logic skill, so I send her out to watch the sky, and I almost missed it!

Christina: What IS that light?! *squint*

Christina: Oh my god! I've heard stories! Save me!

me: holding on won't help. sorry!

Christina: I'm scared!

Aliens: Hello, Granddaughter of Aeric.

that's right! TWICE, he visited the aliens.

Everybody seems aware that Christina is gone...No one went out to rescue her.

Dustin: googgy!

Oh, NOW you respond, Johnston!

Aliens: it was nice 'meeting' you, Christina, Granddaughter of Aeric. Now out you go.

Christina: I can't believe it happened to me.
me: me neither....seems to run in the family, though.

Christina: I'm so mad and embarrassed!

With all the commotion, Dustin was left to his own devices

Dustin: This bed is just.....

Dustin: ...just right! zzzzzzZZZZzzzz

Maybe with a little help, Dylan's grades will go up. Mallory, get on that, will you?

What! Wait! What?

Grim: wanna stick?
Johnston: I can't watch! *sob*

Grim: well, that's done. Time for dinner.
Johnston: I can't watch....is it over?

yeah, right at that moment, Cocoa grows up to an odd looking adult dog.

Dylan: don't listen to her. She said I was 'jen-eric,' whatever that is.

Christina: before you go, Sim Goddess Tina, let me get you some oranges.
Well, it's that time again....time to say good bye.....I have a ton of other pictures for this and the other legacy families, so I won't make such a delay for the next entry.

Where Are They Now

2009-11-15T03:40:00.000-08:00

We're back for a visit with the Aeric/Atina Irwin NON-Heirs. I moved them into a bigger house to accommodate all of the couples and give them room to "spread their wings" a bit. Clarissa took me literally.

Breakfast conversation
Belle: BRAXTON! What do you mean: "You don't think soccer is the greatest sport!?"
Clarissa catches up on the news.

This is Clarissa's boyfriend from college, but I can't remember his name...doh!

Clarissa and her beau chill out in the pool

Blond Beau: kowa-bunga!

Belle: How can Braxton NOT think soccer is the greatest sport! Lame! Stupid Braxton! Stupid Braxton's wife RoseMarie, using the phone!

Clarissa: Take this, Belle!
Belle: come to mama

Belle: I can control the ball with my mind

Clarissa: how does she do that!? I want mind control!

RoseMarie and Esther catch up.
(Note to self: age RoseMarie up to elder)

RoseMarie: now that you're old, you can't shake your bootie like this
Esther: oh, but I can ... and do

It's a skillin' party: Clarissa's Beau, Sylviana and Lainey

Clarissa: nom nom nom
Lainey: I have this box I want to give to you, Sylviana

That got Clarissa's attention, didn't it?
Sylviana: ooooo, what could it be?

Sylviana: it sparkles!
Lainey: it's the least I could do.
Clarissa: *stare* *pretend I don't want one of my own* *stare*

I guess this means they are engaged

Sylviana: YES! I'm getting married in the morning! Ding dong the bells are gonna chime!

Private ceremony

RoseMarie coming home from work

Sylviana: it tastes like these pancakes are made with tomato soup. Are they tomato soup pancakes?

Lainey: zzzzZZZZ zzzz
Sylviana: *stare* um.... ahem.... *cough*

Lainey: what? what was that? what happened?
Sylviana: *slurp* I didn't hear anything

Poor Braxton. I wanted to say "FAIL" but then I saw the car behind him. Not such a fail.

Braxton and RoseMarie close out this entry.
Next time, we will catch up with the Evan Irwin and Sandy LisonB NON-heirs and also age up Braxton and RoseMarie (to be the same age as the rest of their group)

Cha 3.3 Haunt This!

2009-11-07T03:11:00.000-08:00

After ANOTHER Sims 2 hiatus (I've been playing but not updating the blog), we re-join the Sandy LisonB Legacy.

Previously: Heir #2, Esther, died in a fire trying to save her fury friend, Aren. After dying, her daughter (heir #3), Aribeth paid the Grim to bring Esther back to life. Now it's payback time from the dead.

We join the family right at the moment I realize I've forgotten ANOTHER birthday. Welcome to toddlerhood, Cole.

Cole being bathed...he looks like such a mean child.
Cole gets a toddler make over and goes to bed

Cole as a toddler

Esther is better prepared for the next time she burns up

Birthday Time
Happy birthday, Orbit

Aribeth: let's put you here to grow up.

Aribeth promptly loses interest.

Orbit: I see stars!
Esther: . . . and then I was burning alive!
me: um, grandson. Growing up behind you

Ugh! It's times like this when I'm glad I'm not playing this game in Apocalypse style! yowsers!

I rush Orbit to the mirror for a make over

Cole skillin'
Ghost Sandy crying that she's dead (from eons ago)

Ghost Sandy: ha ha ha ha ha!
Avri: GHOST! horrible!

Ghost Sandy: BOOOOOO!
Neil: *lip quiver*
tee hee hee! Neil totally soiled himself

LOL! A good memory! how? LOL!

Ghost Sandy: bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha
Aribeth: Ghost Gramma! Red memory!

After a long night of interruptions, Orbit is off to his first day of school.
me: um, Aribeth, turn around and wave good bye.
Orbit: I hate my dad!

Orbit: Hi! I'm Orbit! Orbit Leelaporn!

Orbit: bye Mr. Bus Driver

me: and how was school?
Orbit: *gulp* I don't wanna talk about it

me: oh, well you brought home a friend, it can't be all bad.

Orbit and Dylan (from the Aeric/Atina Legacy) play video games

Orbit makes a funny face while doing his homework

Aribeth working on the drafting table...I just wanted to see how it worked

*sigh* I think we're in for another night of this.
Aren returns in a glowing red color

Orbit was asleep before this moment
Ghost Aren: neener, neener, neener!
Orbit: eeek! I don't have any money! My piggy bank is on the shelf!

Ghost Aren: neener, neener, neener!
Esther: eek! It wasn't my fault that my family wanted me back!

ENOUGH of that!
Off to the cemetery with all of you!
(of course, I reserve the right to bring them back in the future for entertainment value)

me: How was your 2nd day of school?

Orbit: I totally don't get it....

but he brings home another friend (Serenity from the Evan Irwin Legacy)

Serenity: I don't see anything in the clouds like you said, Orbit

Orbit: gotch-ya!
Serenity: cold, cold, cold!

Serenity: You idyot!

Serenity: that was HILARIOUS! Good one!

Okay, it's another Cole bath, but I needed to change the focus back to the rest of the family.

It feels like he's ALWAYS crying....stop crying!

Birthday time!
Let's watch Cole grow up into a real boy!

Neil: tumm-tee-tummm

Cole: . . . a yittle yamb, yittle yamb, yittle yamb...

After waiting for minutes, he finally stood up and began the process....
....but that will all have to wait until next time.

Cha 3.3 Life in the Fast Lane

2009-11-07T02:10:00.000-08:00

Welcome back to the Evan Irwin Legacy!

In our last update, heir #3: Chasity, had just had twin girls, Felicity and Harmony - which was quite a shock to Sim Goddess Tina.

Let's jump in where we left off, shall we?

Serenity learns a nursery rhyme. I love to have the toddler sing it while I have someone making the pumped-up-milk so that the toddler doesn't have an urge to go play in the toilet or something random.

ahhhhh, Vince bathes little Felicity.

Chastity: *SMILES* I rock! I'm home from work! I rock!
Me: *cancel action and put Serenity in the crib*
Chastity: I rock! I'm home from work and I rock!
Serenity: zzzzzzZZZZZZzzzzzz

Serenity: *yaaawwwnnnn*

Serenity: TIE-YODE!

Serenity: mmmm, cwayon.
me: OMG - wash out her mouth, ASAP! Poison! LOL! (that's for you, Kirsten)

Birthday time!
Felicity

Harmony

Harmony: yeggs in da lite

Felicity: pwitty

Oops! Serenity is now a child...sorry kid.

Serenity - cute child.

learnin' to talk

learnin' to walk

Too many hauntings keep waking up my poor simmies in the middle of the night, so it's time to say goodbye to the tombstones on the premesis. Off to the cemetary with all of you!

Spoiled, spoiled, spoiled. Felicity must have the "pick me up" programmed to her because she's always being picked up and just held.

Faith: *she looks just like me*
Serenity: *jump* *jump* *jump*

cute Harmony as a toddler. . . .

. . . YIKES! but she inherited that WRETCHED nose!

Felicity as a toddler. (she's literally a clone of Serenity!)

Serenity: what else goes in to the muffin? hmmmm...Jelly beans are perfect.

um, that's a mighty big muffin! It's as big as her head!

Dancin'

Bubbly time

Serenity's first day of school

I love that face! LOL!

Chastity: ...now carry the one...

Harmony: nom nom nom nom

Serenity: I rock!
me: you are your mother's daughter

Felicty: *my G-pa is awesome*
um this is your G-MA not G-PA

Harmony skillin'

Bday time again

Serenity: *aaaahhhhhhh*
me: is that good? bad? are you screaming?

IanJr: aaaaahhhhhhh

Harmony looks a tiny bit evil in this picture...like she is going to be a terror.

Chasity: whhhhh

So not really a story, so much as just pictures of the family's progress. Next update: we'll see them off to college? or at least high school.

Cha 3.2 Walking Through Fire

2009-07-25T02:10:00.000-07:00

Sandy LisonB Legacy

With a faster computer and better graphics, I'm able to play more sims time than before. woot, woot! Welcome back to the Sandy LisonB legacy.

I took this picture of Neil because I had to admire that there are fish in the tank now. *claps hands with glee*

Aribeth: oh, hey, Sim Goddess Tina. Thanks for upgrading your computer so that we can be played more often.
Ian returns as a ghost....

...a ghost on a rampage, apparently.
Poor Aren.

Arbeth: I don't feel so good.

Pop #1
me: Yup, that explains the previous picture.

Avri loves his little son Orbit

Time to ramp up some logic skill points

I really just wanted to see the drafting table at work.

Aribeth: Oh! I just popped the #2 bump.
Aren: that's weird.

Aribeth poses for her legacy portrait.

Dog-gonnit! I forgot YET another birthday.

Orbit bursts into toddlerhood

Weird picture of Aren.
me: Aren, are you okay?
Aren: helping the kid walk, concentrating.....
me: just wondering if it hurts to lose your neck.

happy memory

Aribeth: my tummy is convulsing....I think it's labor
me: yup, probably

Esther waits patiently for her new grandbaby

Maid: what can I do? nothing? okay, then, back to work.

Aribeth: the pain is unbearable.....

Welcome Cole
(who's stats are exactly those of Orbit, if I remember correctly)

Creepy Orbit cheek bones.

Poor Aren..it seems that Ian's ghost has it in for him.

Aribeth: Peek-a-boo!
Orbit: *whimper*

Orbit: *smiles*

I sent Aren outside to clear up some leaves and had him burn the leaf piles....duh!

Cool headed Neil, pulls out the extinguisher, everyone else panics.

Esther: Jump out of the flames, Aren
Aren: I'm trying!

me: *panic* NO NO NO NO NO NO!

Aribeth: I'll get it! hold still
Esther: choppity on the chop, Aribeth!
me: get on it, Aribeth

me: F%#K! Hurry Aribeth!

me: whew! I think Esther made it, even though poor Aren didn't.

me: WHAT!? *throws a temper tantrum on this side of the screen*

Grim: Well, let's see here. Aren Bigfoot? Not on the list....hmmmm.

Grim: well, his ashes are here, so let's add him....
Aribeth: I NEED A BATH!
me: Bitch! get out of my site! *grrrrrrr* *seething*

Avri: I can't believe you let that happen, Sim Goddess Tina.....*sob*

Grim: well, here's the tombstone for Aren. Sim Goddess Tina, don't look at me that way.

Avri: I'll get those ashes for the urn. *sniffle*
me: *still seething and in shock*

Grim: yeah...okay......nope, she's pretty mad........resurrection?.....we'll see......

Grim: here's the tombstone for Esther.... *sad*

It's a sad day in the house

Aribeth: I can't believe it's a regular tombstone...she'd reached her lifetime wants and everything..... *sob*

me: sweet Esther as a teen with IanJr. *stunned*

So, I was so mad, I didn't turn on my game for, like, three days...I was deciding how to proceed...and then I made the decision.

Aribeth: Uh, Hello? Grim? Yup, she made up her mind......let's do it.

Aribeth: Green smoke? Is that right?

*stare*
me: *giddy with anticipation*

Esther: My hands are here...perfect fingers.....

Esther: YIPPEEE!
me: *smiles*

Aribeth: this was the best decision EVER!

the tombstone dissapates....yay.

Neil: welcome home. Let's have us some alone time, shall we?

Oh look! Since I'd reloaded my game, Sandy's tombstone was missing and I had chalked it up as a loss...and then I found her urn.

Date night for this happy occasion.

Avri: Isn't it so cool that we have your mom back?

Aribeth: to you and my mom and the family....
me: and what about me?

me: woah! what's up, guys? All I can say is: no more kids, okay?

me: oh....that's pretty innocent; a picture.
Avri: for posterity.
I really debated about letting the game play out the way it had happened...even if it made me mad. But in the end, there's a reason that creepy skeleton phone was made...so I went for it.

Evan Irwin Legacy

So I got a new computer, as I mentioned in the Aeric and Atina Legacy update. So I loaded up my Sims 2 and forgot to change the camera settings, so the first few pictures have terrible quality.

We rejoin the Evan & Kirsten Legacy with Chastity playing with Serenity.

Serenity drinks up the milk.
me: did I forget a birthday?
Chastity: No, silly, I'm just bathing Serenity and I like to toss her in the air first.

LOL! Vince looks confused.
me: Check mate!
Vince: I don't get it.

Faith runs the course to stay in shape.

Damnit! I forgot ANOTHER birthday!
Happy birthday IanJr.

sparklies

IanJr ages up to elder

Chastity: Look at the inside of this toil....barf!

IanJr: I forgot about this old gold lamp I found on my porch. I wonder if it has any magical qualities.
*rub* *rub* *rub*

IanJr: uh...smoke....purple......uh.....

Purple Genie: ten thousand years in the cave of wonders!
me: ?

Purple Genie: did you rub my lamp? did you wake me up?
IanJr: uh, yes, sir, I did.

Purple Genie: I am here for your wish fulfillment.
IanJr: Wish fulfillment?
Purple Genie: One wish, to be exact and X-nay on the wishing for more wishes.

Blue Genie: uh! you know I have to interrupt this little conversation, right?
me: no, what's wrong?
Blue Genie: it's all sounding a bit familiar, to, oh, I don't know, a little movie that Disney put out?
me: oh! All right! Fine. *sulks*

Purple Genie: Yo, Rugman! Haven't seen you in a few millennia. Give me some tassel.
me: last one, I promise! I just love that line..totally doesn't fit here, but I like it!
Purple Genie: so IanJr, what will it be?

me: it's so cliche! Money?!
IanJr: well it's that or friends or love....blah to all of them.
me: indeed.

IanJr: so what now?
Purple Genie: back to my itty-bitty living space!
me: LAST ONE, I PROMISE!

Birthday time (and I didn't forget)
Faith: that's because you love me.
me: you know it!

Faith: Ugh! I hate this sparklie part.

me: WTF!?
Faith: my hands are right, what's wrong.
me: no worries, I'll fix it up right.

me: that's better.
Elder Faith

Elder IanJr

Chastity: oh, yay! I popped out.

Vince: why can't it end.

2009-07-24T23:51:00.000-07:00

Aeric and Atina Legacy

It's been a long time since we followed the Aeric & Atina Legacy. I finally got a new computer with speed and graphics so I'm a much happier camper. I also purchased Sims 3, but I couldn't bring myself to just leave my legacies hanging out there, so I continue to play Sims 2 for now.

Catching up, we start with Bastion (generation 2 heir) as he ages to Elder.

Of course, his first new want is to retire, so that wish is granted. (See, I'm even speaking in Sims 3 lingo)

Christina (generation 3 heir) poses for her legacy portrait.

G-pa Bastion loves his grandson, Dylan.
Founder Atina makes a ghostly appearance and appears happy to see the legacy moving along nicely.

Oh, oops! Mallory ages to elder.

Christina: *ralph*
me: must be #2?

Christina: I'm content with one baby. I don't need another one.

what's up with this? No, no, walk right on through.

Christina: *shock*
me: surprise!
Christina: Pop #1

See! Fish! I can see them and not just their bubbles! Yeah new computer!

Christina: I was so content to have one baby.
Dylan: zzzzzzzz

Anniversary Party
Belle watched Mallory and Braxton play video games (I will age them up soon)
It doesn't look like Clarissa is impressed by Johnston.

Another, oops! Abigail ages to elder.

Cute Abigail ages up.

Christina: I loves my Abigail!
Abigail: guh-fah!

Christina: I wonder what I'll find in the trash?
me: isn't is YOUR trash? and should you have a contented smile when doing this?

Christina: oh look, I found some baby powder. I'll need that for the next baby. YOINK!

me: are you stalking your baby?
Johnston: he sleeps so peacefully.
me: and yet, he seems to know you're there....

oh! it's birthday time! I'm glad I remembered to set it up. *wink*

Christina: woot!

Mallory: yeah! Go grandson!

I love this picture! Look how cute Dylan is looking right at me! It's like he knows I'm there!

Okay, not so cute on the outfit!

But we get him to work on his Charisma immediately. That's what a good Sim Goddess does.

LOL! Mallory cleans out the potty.

The legacy portraits.
Remember, there were two founders: Aeric & Atina
Generation 2: Bastion
Generation 3: Christina

Bastion poses with his plaque for maxing out his hobby!
Bastion: I'm so proud! I'd like to thank my parents for teaching me the love of nature.
me: and of course, me, right?
Bastion: and you are?

Ghosty Atina

and Ghosty Aeric appear on the same night.
But, unlike other ghosties I know, they do not scare their families.

Christina: can we come back to me? I'm in pain here! Thanks for that, Sim Goddess Tina.

LOL! in the middle of the labor, Bastion gives me this expression! LOL!
me: that's right! clean out the potty!

Catching Up With The Extras

2009-06-20T00:28:00.000-07:00

I want to thank the Sims 3 blogging updates....I hope to join you.......someday.

I have been debating the idea of playing only the legacy families and leaving the extras behind in the neighborhood. I don't play them half as often as the legacy faimlies, but I have played them enough to make an update on their status.

Belle and Max Flexor

When Generation 3 came home from college, I moved Sylviana in with Belle and Max.

Belle - gaming.
Sylviana at her computer

Sylviana: thanks for letting me move in with you, Aunt Belle
Belle: Is this the kind of clothing your brought with you?
Sylviana: it's not a lot different from yours.

Max: party! that's what we need - celebrate our youth.
Belle: these chips are......mmm - mmmm - good.

me: whatcha doing?
Max: Playing conjoined twins.
Sylviana: pretty cool, huh?

me: what are you playing this time?
Sylviana: argh! Matey! it's a yo-ho-ho for me.
me: :)

I just wanted to see what it was like to fold up this bed...so this is what it's like

Sylviana invites her college friend over. I can't remember her name.

I decided to have College Pal move in and grow up.

College Pal: Even though you don't remember my name, thanks for the cool make over.
me: not a problem.

So you didn't realize it did you? These two hit it off in college in more than just friendship. I tried to get Sylviana to move on, but she constantly had College Pal in her dream bubbles...so I, here they are.

Bride Wanna-Be: *gasp* and she moved in with that crazy makeover?

Bride Wanna-Be: Who does Sim Goddess Tina think she is, anyway?

I think they're cute together. So piss off, Desperate Bride Wanna-Be!

Braxton and RoseMarie Irwin

Clarissa moved in with her uncle after college.
Clarissa: hey Mr Landlord, aren't you excited that I'm here?

Mr. Landlord: you don't have a job...how are you going to pay the rent?

Clarissa: OH!!! You're one of THOSE kind of landlords. I'll leave it to my aunt, then.

Mr Landlord: hello Pretty Lady. so you want to rent a place, huh?
Braxton: what was that? Did you hit on my wife?

Braxton: I'll kick his ass in this game...that's what I'll do!
me: oh, snap! LOL!

Mr Landlord: just sign here, and you can move in immediately.

Clarissa: Uncle Braxton, hit me as hard as you can! no really, do it!
Braxton: here comes a dead arm.

Braxton: just kidding, kiddo.
me: strange place to be hanging out....the bathroom?

RoseMarie: HEYyyyyyy! Chill out, dude!

Loony Lady: Sim Godess Tina! You! You!
me: *grin*

Looney Lady: DON'T YOU SMILE AT ME, MISSY!
me: I was grinning, not smiling.

Loony Lady: *through gritted teeth* don't you back talk me.

me: *smile is gone*

Clarissa: don't worry, Sim Goddess Tina, that lady is mental!
me: *lip quiver*

Memories...

Chastity: Light the corners of my mind *snicker*

Clarissa: ha ha ha ha ha - Misty *giggle* water-colored memories

Darius: Of the way we were - HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Demetrius & Darius McAuley and Chastity Irwin

Demetrius: I can't bear to be without you, Robin, marry me right here and now?
Robin: okay

oh, happy day

Chastity: I totally don't recognize you with your new makeover

Demetrius: *stalk*
Robin: I'm kinda anxious about "doing it"

Darius: Cheerleader Chick, what are you doing? did you follow me from college?
Cheerleader Chick: Darius! Old friend! How nice to see you!
me: that's not how I remember it.
(I had them woohoo....tee hee hee)

Darius: I totally did it with her...really I did...love her and leave her, I say.
Demetrius: *read* *read* *read*

Robin: Look at how clean this toilet is! spick and span!

me: OH! what did you do!?!?!?

Chastity really does live here, too....she's a pirate. A real life pirate!

Robin is stranger than a lot of simmies I've seen...eating, sleeping and very little else exhaust her REALLY FAST!

hey, look, it's my friend Tasha in Sim form! Nice to see you!
Tasha: you too, Tina!
me: *ah-hem* it's Sim Goddess Tina in this world. Just fyi. tee-hee

This is Darius's new found favorite thing to do in his spare time: drink! and drink A LOT!

Darius: whatcha doin? eating a hamburger?
Chastity: I guess if you can call it that..sure.

*crickets*

Robin: oh!
me: what? what? I don't see anything!
Robin: something just happened.
me: I still don't see anything.

me: oh, there it is! Bump #1

Robin: I'm so sleepy. Now that I'm with child, I'll be even more tired all the time and you can multiply my restroom needs expinentially!
me: oh, goody, can I?

Chastity is now a real life fire fighter.
That's how the non-heirs - the extras, if you will, are doing.

Cha 3.1 The Cordial Grim

2009-05-23T02:30:00.000-07:00

Aeric and Atina Legacy

Oh my gosh, can you believe it? So I've been kinda cracked out on Animal Crossing so my poor poor simmies have taken a back seat to that dominating and time-demanding game. But I finally did hear the little voices of my sims calling me back to the game I love to play. So it's back to the Atina and Aeric legacy to see how things are going:

I got this shot right as Atina was teleporting out of the room...caught in the act. It's like she's walking on the ceiling.

Christina has returned from college for this little legacy family photo op.

As usual, I put the heir to marriage immediately. No time to waste when it comes to creating the next generation.
Mallory: Well as the heir, Christina will inherit all your money when you go.
Aeric: I'm never dying! NEVER!
Atina: Why are we talking about this today of all days?
Christina: *stare*

Here comes the bride.
me: Um, Atina, have you even moved your hands since you left the living room?

The "I do's"

The ring exchange

The kiss

The congratulations

The new Mr and Mrs Irwin
Johnston: Irwin? what?
Christina: Oh, I didn't tell you? Yeah, we're keeping my name.
Johnston: *stare*

Bastion and Mallory - happy to have married off their heir daughter.

The cake cutting and a bit of swooning, apparently

Christina: here, take this!
Johnston: mfph

The token fireworks

The wedding night - and that's that.

NOW - get to baby making.

*jaw drop*
me: I knew this moment would come, but on the day of celebration?
Grim: when else would I be here?
Grim: Atina, I dub you my next victim.

Grim: You, Atina, have been chosen to participate in the next leg of the journey.

Atina: what? How was I chosen? What journey?

The lone mourner. Sad, but true.

Grim: I've already packed your bags for your journey
Atina: *GASP*
Abigail: *hoooowwwwllllll*

Atina: Well, as long as I have my pina coladas.........I guess....it's okay

The rest of the family finally mourns.
me: Johnston, you didn't even know her....

Christina: *sob* *sobbity* *sob-sob-sob*

Aeric mourns in quiet.

Atina made a wonderful Sim-Me - and I'm sad to see her go.

Christina - pop #1.
me: I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the answer to the question is YES.

Aeric achieves the gold badge in toy making.

Christina: I totally, like, did it. You know? woohoo? have sex? That's how I got prego.
Aeric: At the dining room table? really?

Pop #2 (and a makeover)

I almost missed it! Seriously! I would have been SO mad!

So, I'm having a tough time enjoying our robot who always has "do chores" in her que which trumps out EVERYTHING I send her to do....so, it's time to say good-bye.

Bachelor #1: ....so listen....Look at the time....I get to get going.....

Aribeth: Coffee chick, do you know any eligible (preferably rich) boys?
Coffee Chick: *stare*

Bachelor #2 seems interested....he looks like he might make some monies, so it could work...

Until we see the nose.
Aribeth: *don't stare* *don't stare* *don't stare*
It seriously reminded me of:
Do you remember this creepy guy?

Bachelor #3 prefers boys...so that's out.

Aribeth: a friend from college. Yeah!
Bachelor #4: mmmfffff....hair.....ack!

Bachelor #1 swings by the house.
Bachelor #1: hey baby, you're looking red HAWT!

Aribeth: so, Bachelor #1, how did you do in school as a kid?
Neil: Good one.
Bachelor #1: *uh*

Bachelor #1: Hey Baby, I'd like to get with you, what you say to that?
Aribeth: you can't be serious?

Aribeth: Oh! you are serious....tee hee hee
Bachelor #1: *heart* *true love*
me: sad......he's in love and she's laughing at him? He deserves a shot in my book.

Bachelor #1 has a name of: Avri Loeelaporn
(what a name)
Avri: maybe I can wooo her with my mad violin skills.
me: Are you sure you're into girls...the pinky....

Aribeth teaches Esther how to Tai Chi
Aribeth: see. You touch your hand to your toes in the air. Like this.
Esther: leg back.....hands out in front....pretty bird in the sky....
me: LOL!

Neil: check me out! I've reached the top of my career path.

Aren: ...he's a cop, so he's gotta be educated.

Aren: and I think he can make chili.

note: Aribeth pops her #2 pop

Bump #2

Aribeth: I'm craving some of Grandma's soup.

Esther: I'm a cute little elder.
me: you look just like your mom.....weird.

Whoa! I think Aren has lost a few marbles in his elder-hood.
Aren: ...you're right, a seagull is not a tree friendly bird.

Neil challenges Avri to a game of chess.

Esther can't give up her gaming...
Esther: run you down....that's what I'll do...
me: fierce!

Esther: baby bump....I remember when I was prego with you, Aribeth.

2009-03-07T00:50:00.000-08:00

I'm back. I'm sorry for my absence. I needed a Sims break, so I took it. Now I'm making time to play again (I really want to finish before I get the Sims3 - IF I get the Sims3)
So welcome back to the Evan Legacy.
We are on Generation 3.

The first thing I have Chastity do when she gets home from college, is head out and buy new clothes and get another makeover.
me: how do you like the ensemble?
Chastity: eh. It'll work.

First things first: let's re-acquaint Chastity with her high school and college sweetheart: Vince Jalowitz.

2nd, say hello to Omni
Chastity: I love my Omni...sweet Omni.

Well that didn't take long. To the wedding ceremony, then.

A nice, evening, backyard wedding for these two.

Wedding I Do's:

Entertainment = sparklers.
hey! I used to have hours of entertainment writing out my name in the sky.

Chastity shoved the cake in Vince's mouth....
Chastity: Take this and like it
Vince: mmmmffff

Smustling
Chastity: it's been so long since you played us that I forgot how to do the dance moves.
me: it's like riding a bike.

Sylviana

Kinda a crazy messy scene...I mean, what are we looking at here?
Christina: *stare* *stare*
Aribeth: *stare* *stare*
Every one seems amazed by IanJr.

Vince: Dude! I'm totally not staring at my new dad-in-law.

Poor Charity....
Charity: if only I'd been the heir.
me: I could only pick one, I'm sorry! I don't think you would have been married so fast, do you?
Charity: hell no!
me: see...that's why you're not the heir...and do you really want to be?

Chastity: So, Vince, what now?
Vince: la la la la la, I'm not hearing you.

Vince: oh wait! I am hearing you cuz I'm gonna get me some.
Chastity: uh, okay.

Did I just hear a lullaby chime?
(BTW, this is the next day and like their 3rd attempt to have a baby)

Two ghosts!
Kirsten and Hope travel together.

Kirsten: RAAAAR!
She really did yell several times....she's quite unhappy to be in the spirit form.

Kirsten: OOOOOOOOGAH BOOOOOOOGAH!
Faith: ARGH!

One more bad memory. Thanks, Kirsten.

Omni is seeing stars. LOL!

Chastity: *gasp* what the shit is this? My belly just popped!
Faith: pretty stars

Faith: IanJr and I didn't get married until the day the twins were born.
Vince: *shocked*
me: LOL!

Vince: well we're totally married. We exchanged rings and everything.

Vince: So there's a baby in there, huh?

Vince: Hello, baby.

Whoa! What's your beef, Gypsy Queen?
This was my first time seeing this and it caught me off guard.

Gypsy: yay me! I rock! Look how nice I am! *clap* *clap* *clap*

It's a genie lamp.
We'll play with that later *wink* *wink*

Chastity kept rolling up the want to drink juice, but it was never satisfied while drinking the nectar...no fruit = no juice.

Chastity: GAWD! What is this shit? My belly just exploded outward! AGAIN!

Both: nom nom nom.

Chastity: I'm freakin' out here...what's going on?
me: I'm thinking labor.

Chastity: oh, the PAAAAIIINNNNNNNNN!

Faith: here I come! I'll help you!

IanJr: I'll be there for moral support!

Vince: *yawn* It seems to be under control

IanJr: OMG! That's too much to see of my daughter! *freak out*
Faith: oh, why do you embarrass me?
Vince: what's going on? Why is Dad-in-law freaking out?

Chastity: frrrrrreewwwwwwwww

Welcome little Serenity!
Generation FOUR
Vince's eye color, Chastity's skin tone and hair color...what else will emerge?

Vince: it's a baby!!! BABY!

Vince: hello, baby. I'm your dad.

interpreted: I'm a hard core bitch that will enter your premises anytime, and interrupt your conversations with stupid cheers, but that's the extent of any relationship shot you have with me...tee hee.

me: Raise your hand if you want me to be sure to break that cheerleader's spirit before the 10 generations are up.........

Demetrius, tinkering fan, is out of his element catching butterflies.

What would this entry be without more of our friend, the bubble machine.
Aribeth: ...cuz, you shud uh seen it...cuz, like, it was.......*snicker*

Oh, look, it's the newly engaged couple Chastity and Vince.

So this is the face Chastity made when I suggested she go sit on the hammock...
Chastity: um, so, Sim Goddess Tina, what are you going to do?

Vince: I have an idea what Sim Goddess Tina is trying to set up, here.
Chastity: I gotta make sure this hammock is perfectly straight.

Chastity: Hey Vince, come here....

That's right, it's woohoo time for these two.
Vince gets ready to jump in.

And there he goes....what a champion.

Chastity seeing stars...

Vince: that was awesome! Totally cool.

alright, Cow, this sneaking can't be good....

Of course....
Cow: watch this.

me: what? watch you get all soaked?

Cow: that was so clever of me....

Clarissa: get out of here you, Cow! I hate you!

Charity: Hey, Sim Goddess Tina, how you doin'?

me: Sylviana, that was, like, eons ago. You were a kid...so like, 15 days ago.

Clarissa: no, no; don't catch me, or anything...I like being all sexy with you and then being dropped when I leap into your arms....so, don't catch me.
Whoa! What have we here?

Young love. Christina and who?
Christina: Sim Goddess Tina, this is Johnston. I met him at the New Years Eve party. You must have seen him there.
me: I'll double check those pics. (yup, sure enough)

Skillin together in the common room

Chastity: This tube totally reminds me of a snake......there's that word again: tube. tooooob. tooooooooob. ha ha ha ha!

Sylviana: that word doesn't make me laugh as hard anymore. It's slowly killin' my buzz.

Charity: I'm totally flying away here....ha ha ha ha...see those bubbles..bubbbbbllls?

Christina: I see bubbles, too....bubbles.....bubbbbbbles......

We end the junior year with a basket ball game between Charity and Chastity:

Another makeover doesn't go so well.

Ugly Make-Up Chick: OMG! It's horrific!
(she ran away before I could stop her to fix it...so now she's running around campus all fugly-like. ha ha ha ha!)

Chastity: I totally double dog dare you!
[Darius as an adult, narrating]: NOW it was serious. A double-dog-dare. What else was there but a "triple dare ya"? And then, the coup de grace of all dares, the sinister triple-dog-dare.
Chastity: I TRIPLE-dog-dare ya!
[Darius as an adult, narrating]: Chastity created a slight breach of etiquette by skipping to the triple dare and going right for the throat!

Darius: *sneak* *sneak* *sneak*

me: ha ha ha ha! You mundane noodle!

Chasity: Jump, jump, jump!
me: are you trying to break the couch?
Chastity: Oh NO! I'm trying to touch the ceiling with my head.

Aribeth checks out the tree..
Me: what do you think of it?

Aribeth: well, the tree was.......asthetically pleasing and it has the right colors, and .....

Aribeth: OMG I totally loves it!

Smustle Time!

So I'm sitting here at my computer and watching the Christmas tree, hoping to see Santa Claus and what do my eye behold? A fire. Yup.
Merry Christmas guys!

It's getting a little out of hand....I'm thinking to myself, how long can this fire really go?
and
Do I really wanna find out?

Nope, not really, so I have Demetrius wake up and call the FD

and then he goes into panic mode.
Demetrius: the fire is so hot! it's burning our tree and presents!
me: step back, Panic Boy.

Putting out the fire.

Turns out this was a TWO-Alarm-Fire!

New Tree

Finals are over. Whew.
Apparently we made moneyz!

Chastity: I believe I can fly! I believe I can touch the sky.....
Aribeth: I believe Clarissa can fly.
(Aribeth totally has a girl crush on Clarissa...always thinkin' of her)

Clarissa: Look at me! I'm all Matrixy! Whaaaaaah!
Okay, then.....time to move on to the Junior year. I keep putting off selecting the three heirs...but the time is close at hand.

I'd like to thank "A Christmas Story"
and "Ice Age"for providing me with hours of entertainment this holiday season.

Sylviana: *stare*

Sylviana brought a ballet bar that RoseMarie earned through work.
Christina is less than graceful.

Christina: oh, garsh, should I move the pawn here?....or maybe here?.....
me: you're playing against yourself, so just move it.

Skillin' Party
Where's Charity?

Charity is makin' musack

Christina: oh my garsh, oh my garsh, darns it all!

Online war games produce Charity as the winner.

The remaining members of the dorm managed to get to their early morning midterms fully clothed.

Demetrius: YOU are cheating!
Sylviana: I don't know what you are talking about! Hey there's another big spider coming toward you!

Demetrius: I will not look this time, you Cheater!

Charity is by herself again - she's a bit antisocial

Christina reaches up for fireflies

Christina: *sigh* I didn't catch anything.

Aribeth: let me show you how it's done.

Aribeth: prettyyyyyyy

Christina then was able to catch some for herself.

Demetrius's first date

(you may remember Robin Trimble from when Generation 2 was here at this University. She was given a makeover by Belle)

The date starts off innocently enough. Dancing.

Which leads to a romantic first kiss for Demetrius.

Demetrius: I'm gonna show her how amazing I really am!

Demetrius: *gasp*
me: tee hee hee

What a cute new little couple. They've clearly hit it off.

me: Hey wait a minute! What were you two doing in there?

Demetrius: woohoooo! that was awesome!
me: woohoo? you didn't!

Demetrius: hey, baby, this has been one romantic evening, but I gotta get back to the dorm.

Robin: I'm falling for Demetrius so I'll leave him roses.
me: hey! What about a stereo? or a new recliner? or something big!

Charity gets her chocolate fix - alone.

Charity: I like being alone.
me: this behavior won't make you the heir. You gotta show some initiative to meet people.

Chastity has a date with, what's his name?
Chastity: his name is Vince Jalowitz.
me: oh, nice du there, Vince.

Pillow fights will always win points on a date.

So will touching eachother romantically over a plate of rotten pancakes.
mmmmm, delish!

but all that leads up to the first kiss for Chastity, who's showing promise to being the heir.

More "bubble blowing" time.

Christina: hey Sim Goddess Tina, I love bubbbblless. *giggle* I mean, bublebeles. ha ha ha ha. I mean, bubblblbs. ha ha ha ha ha

Darius: you are too funny, Christina. Oh my gosh, I'm blind! I can't see!
me: your eyes are closed, silly.
Darius: oh...ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Sylviana: hey someone else has put their face to this tube! tube. tube. tube. ha ha ha ha. That's a funny word. tube.
me: oh boy.

We end the freshman year with cookster, here, starting a fire in the kitchen . . .

And everyone panics.
I guess it's time to have them all learn about fire safety.
See you Sophmore year.
