stillonmystringI'm on a roll here. Don't crap out on me now, Internet!
Last time: Jude and Elise became elders. Jack became a child. Gemma neglected her children's grades to spy on Morgan, who officially hates the entire household now. Fun times were had by all.
WONDER TWIN POWERS...
ACTIVATE!
And now, I present to you, the new and improved Elliott and Allegra:
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
I have a clear favorite and her name is Elliott.
No offense to Allegra because she's a saucy little number herself.
She's also a bit of a nerd - a sexy nerd - and considers her sphere-shaped Rubik's Cube one of her closest friends. (Seriously, do those things have a name?!? You can't call them cubes because they aren't... cubes.)
Allegra: "Damn, I am one sexy bitch."
Elliott receives brownie points because she's an autonomous bathtub pirate! Seriously, this girl has, like, a bathtub-detecting radar. If she's within fifteen feet of one, she's magnetically drawn toward it to unleash her secret nautical aspirations.
Elliott: "Hi, Grandpa! Did you come to be my first mate?"
Jude: "No! Now get out of the bathtub, bitch, I need to take my daily bubble bath!"
Elliott: "But grandpa! Doesn't this look like so much fun? Arrrrgh!"
Jude: "BATHTUB! VACATE! NOW!"
Apparently, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
Oh, I see how it is. You really just wanted the bathtub all to yourself so you could bathtub pirate, you sneaky little bastard, you!
In less pirate-related news, I decided that it was finally time to get some use out of the fancy greenhouse I set up out back. I get pleasure out of watching my Sims labor in the name of fruits and vegetables.
Oh no, not our tastefully-selected backyard foliage! This tree got struck by lightning and it probably would have put itself out but it seemed to be going on forever so I made Jude go out and fight it. Sadly, it seems that unless you're a professionally-trained firefighter, attempting to extinguish the flames just eggs them on.
So it ended up turning into this. With Jude prancing around ridiculously close to the fire like the idiot that he is. I mean, this is the guy who almost froze himself to death by going out in the dead of winter in his undies, so his incompetence in this situation is far from surprising.
By morning, this was the final damage. Fuck. I don't think I've ever witnessed such destruction from an innocent little lightning fire. I had to replace nearly every tree in their backyard in the end. And Jude had to take a nice long bath after spending the entire night freaking the fuck out in the smoke and flames because, like I said, idiot.
Fortunately, what the garden club doesn't know won't hurt them. The trees are replaced, the garden is fabulous, and they're none the wiser! In fact, they even give us a wishing well for all of our hard work! Yay!
Elliott has inherited her father's less-than-polite dining habits. Robbie couldn't be prouder. But seriously, look at what a massive slob she is - she's flinging that cereal around so carelessly that it's landing on the rug below the table and right in her sister's face. Fabulous.
Father and daughter, keepin' it classy.
Allegra: "You guys are so disgusting. I can't believe I'm actually related to you."
Gemma: "Maybe you two should be a little more considerate. There are other people at this table too, you know." *is ready for her standing ovation as she receives yet another Mother of the Year reward*
Elliott: "Mom, Dad, that creep who's always coming over to yell at us is here. Do something!"
So seeing as the two of them are mature teenagers now, I figured it was time for Elliott and Allegra to board the love train.
Unfortunately, Allegra is repulsed by this perfectly acceptable specimen I picked out for her. Whatever, maybe your sister will be more grateful to receive such a fine little piece of manmeat!
Then again, maybe not. Well, aren't we picky, ladies? Beggars can't be choosers, you know.
Allegra: "Please, oh, please, mystical wishing well, send me the boy of my dreams!"
"Hello-ello-ello? Are there any cute boys down there-ere-ere?"
Allegra: "Somehow, I get the feeling this might not be a very appropriate boyfriend for me..."
Elijah: "B-but... It is so cold and lonely where I come from. Kiss please?"
Allegra: "Oh, alright, what the hell!"
Yes, it is true, Allegra received her very first kiss from her... grandfather's brother. Great-uncle? Something like that. Now let's try to forget this ever happened (though Elijah likes to remind me in the future that it very much did happen).
And now, the rest of this update consists mainly of cute but hardly necessary weekend spam. Because the weekend is the only time they can actually do anything fun. And they're just so damn cute doing it!
What a lovely scene of family bonding!
Lovely, that is, until Jack decides to puke his guts up all over the lawn.
Elliott: *turns away* "Just keep it off my shoes, okay? Thanks."
Wow. I am impressed/terrified by the fact that Jude has so much strength in one fist that he can punch his granddaughter halfway through the kitchen counter. Umm... awesome?
TIME TO GO FISHING!
Poor bb. <3
Robbie: "Damn it, I hope no one saw that. My hair still looks good though, right?"
Okay, maybe fishing isn't this family's strong suit. But they'll get the hang of it eventually.
See?!?
Robbie: "Now, listen up, son. I want you to stay away from all that girly makeup stuff, you hear? Your great-grandfather used to wear makeup and look how he turned out. You don't want to be a zombie when you grow up, do you?"
Allegra likes to unleash her passive-agressive tendencies on the poor, harmless fishies of the world. All underwater-breathing creatures, beware!
A+ form, my dear.
*faceplant*
Isn't this picture relaxing? Just stare at it for awhile and feel all of your troubles melt away. And forget that it's almost winter and not actually the middle of summer.
