Stop falling for every male in this neighbourhood, Kaylynn!
And that’s it from me!
I hope you all are safe and happy. Enjoy the holiday, whatever you may celebrate, and thank you for being such an awesome community.
I’ve got some stuff queued up but will be on vacation until New Year’s Day. See you then!
“Let’s groove!”
This Winter’s Eve, Andrea and Jan invited the whole town to spend the evening together. They booked a ballroom in the city and went all out decorating.
The dinner is already a huge success…
(Yes, the teen is Timothy. I’m one round behind on posting Middleground pictures, so tiny spoiler. ^^)
Santa Claus is coming to town…
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you!
I was tagged by @holleyberry . Thank you!
5 things you’ll find in my bag:
A huge wallet (style over functionality in that case- still love it to bits)
Tissues
A marble (?) ( I don’t know how that got in there- I don’t even own marbles.)
A grocery store receipt from October. Bought some orange juice and minced meat. Nothing else.
Another grocery store receipt. This one’s from August. Really need to clean out my purse more often.
5 things you’ll find in my room:
The handmade, bright green-blue-pink quilt my mother made me some years ago. Love it to bits, even though she’s now kind of ashamed of it (she’s gotten so much better over the last three years, it’s amazing).
Way too many empty water bottles. I’m lazy. And I drink a lot.
A dirty pile of clothes the big dog usually sleeps on.
Lots and lots of gifts. Spent two hours today gift wrapping. I’m the primary gift wrapper this year (but I’m not very good at it).
“Buckingham Corgi”– bought him at the Buckingham Palace gift shop two years ago. He’s sitting in the forest of empty water bottles, judging me…
5 things that make me happy:
My dogs
My boyfriend
Working headphones– it’s really hard to find a working pair in this household
Christmas!
My upcoming vacation with my family and boyfriend- even though I could throttle my family right now- the joys of Christmas preparations ^^
5 things I’m currently into:
Christmas! I’m all about that holiday, preparing food, decorations and gifts!
Animal Crossing New Leaf– yup, still addicted
Learning about midwives and the process of giving birth- this one needs some explaining so I don’t look like a serial killer! I’ve always been interested in the topic, but never considered becoming one (I’m extremely squeamish). My oldest friend- who is currently in training to become one- has given me some literature on the topic. It’s so interesting (even though I’m surer than ever that I don’t want to be one)!
Makeup– after feeling like shit for the entirety of the semester (health issues), I’ve recently started to do makeup again. It’s fun!
I’m still pretty into names. Blame it on the historian inside of me, but there’s something about learning about names and the history behind them that’s really speaking to me. Too bad I won’t be able to write my bachelor’s thesis about that…
5 things on my to-do list:
Clean the entire house
Prepare my 3+ college presentations and learn for the exams
Pack for my vacation
Watch Parks and Recreation Season 7
Relax!
Somehow this turned into a freaking novel. Sorry about that! As always, I’m gonna tag people out of my activity page… @davidmont , @cindysimblr , @moocha-muses , @eulaliasims and @wickedjr89 . No pressure, though.
And oh boy, are there many…

Yeah, college professors are a weird species… like, I am the college student. I’m supposed to be up until the wee hours of the morning. You are a functioning adult being, why do you email me at 3 in the morning?
didilysims said: He’s on the prowl for newspapers, of course!
The orphanage must have terrible security, though!
didilysims said: Oh no!
I was so shocked when that happened. Thankfully, pet adoption requirements are pretty lax…
moocha-muses said: You need to push harder for the Joe/Komei reconciliation, Brandon! How else are you going to get him out of your place?
But he also likes to keep out of other people’s businesses. And if it gets unbearable, no one would judge him if he’d throw Brandon out.
Brandon and Sandy contemplating marriage
littleblondesim said: elopement?
Not really an option in this small town. The neighbours are really noisy, I heard. XD
holleyberry said: I don’t think they will roll an engagement want with the married there. Have you tried having them go on a date?
holleyberry said: Oh, nevermind 😛
Yeah, I don’t really feel like “unlocking” their wedding wants at this point. Who knows if they’ll ever roll one again, and at this point, them wanting to marry is basically “canon”.
Joe’s and Kaylyn’s… weird date
stellaterrano said: Don’t you hate it when you want a ring but your man just wants to buy a car and a stereo 😂
Typical Fortune-Family dating incompatibility… or really Fortune-any other Sims (why are they so obsessed with buying things on dates?)
eulaliasims said: I don’t know of one that does it autonomously, though I sure would like one too. Maybe you can use Dolphin’s Control This Sim hack to do it manually?
Hm, never tried that one out. Not sure if the effort is worth the result, though. *sigh* A mod like this would be awesome!
holleyberry said: You deserve it Joe.
If only Joe cared about it. No, that is my internal dialogue everytime I see him. I like him, I really do, but if he could stop barging into stranger’s houses, that would be great.
holleyberry said: I hate people who say sorry but don’t say what they are sorry for. That’s important, imo. Even if they both know what he’s sorry for him actually saying it holds more weight.
Baby steps… Joe’s learning. (Also, psssht! That might be a ‘plot point’ in the future…)
Randon evening/ night/ morning activities.
Joe, do you have a death wish? Don’t ever touch Brandon’s stuff!
“Hey, you’re fine with ordering something tonight?”
“Sure!”
Chinese food lady to the rescue!
“Hi. You’ve reached Komei’s answering machine. I’m not home right now, so please try calling again later. Thank you.”
“Hey, Komei… um… I realised that I… I never apologised, sooo… I don’t want anything from you, you don’t have to call back if you don’t want to… um, I just wanted to say ‘Sorry.’ … yeah, that’s it, I guess. I’ll see you around- or not if you don’t want to. That’s fine, too…” *click*
Brandon, meanwhile, is having a pretty productive day.
