Round 8 - February 2042

Tippy Dean, Casey Addler, and Mindi Mason are 27 (Marcus Burns is 27)

Every long lost dream, lead me to where you are

Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars

Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms

This much I know is true

That God bless the broken road, that lead me straight to you

Living with Tippy Dean was......an experience. Casey decided long ago that his life with Tippy would never be boring. It was part of the reason he wanted to marry her. She was an amazing woman, albeit a bit scary at times! He turned the wedding planning totally over to her and she turned all business dealings over to him. They had to decided to open their own gym, Tippin' the Scales, where he would be a personal trainer and she would be a yoga instructor. It was an expensive venture, but Casey was confident that they could make it successful........

What can a guy like me, ever really offer?

She's perfect as she can be, why should I even bother?

Cuz she's so high, high above me, she's so lovely

She's so high, like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite 

She's so high, high above me

Ariel had been working very long hours at the recording studio, which left Joe taking care of the twins most of the time. Kevin Knowles had picked up a lot of the slack at the hospital, but Joe was getting a bit tired of potty training and feedings. He needed a break!

Happy Birthday to Ya!

Round 8 - January 2042

Being the horrible simgod that I am, I totally forgot to do Miranda Picaso's age up! So here she is.......quite evil looking, isn't she? And guess what? She has freaking elf ears! No idea what that's about! As you can see, I covered them. There is just no way for me to fit that into my whole elf situation I have going on, and I'm not even going to try! I'm hoping she......I don't know, softens as she gets older. She looks like she's going to get into a lot of mischief, doesn't she?

And here is little Miss Joss Willis. She is a very playful and outgoing little one-year-old girl. Meadow is a bit upset that she looks more like her daddy right now!

* I seriously don't understand how Miranda has elf ears......no idea. She is extremely outgoing, playful, sloppy and mean (only 1 neat and nice point!) so I'm sure she'll be quite the character.

* Joss is also extremely outgoing and playful (10 points each) but she also isn't very nice ( 3 nice points). I can see her being the spoiled daughter of a rockstar who just wants to have fun all the time lol. Should be tons of fun for both Meadow and Slade :)

New Poll

So I've gotten up to Tippy and Mindi's update in game and I've been thinking.....That whole uni group is now playable other than Mindi since both Slade and Tippy made the cut. I don't know, I feel kinda bad, leaving her out. Because once she and Tippy aren't roommates anymore, she gets tossed to the land of NPCs. And since Tippy is going to marry Casey this round, I'm not sure how long it would be realistic for Mindi to live with a married couple. So I'll leave it up to you guys. I'll be posting a poll to decide her fate. I know I haven't really delved too much into Mindi's character, but I think she has the potential to be an interesting addition to LB. Then again, with all these new babies, maybe I don't need to add any more new people......but my hood is fairly new and still growing......you see my dilemma? So please, have mercy on me and help me decide!!!! :)

Gordon was still in awe of the relationship between DeJuan and Donna. He would never have put the two of them together, but somehow they worked. He really thought Charday's reappearance would cause problems for them, but it didn't. It seemed that they were just truly happy together. He wondered if he and Taesha would still be that in love when they were older........one could only hope........

He was originally from Lyon, France and had the most adorable accent. And he seemed to really like her. And she was happy........well, for the most part. It seemed that Slade had left her a bit distrustful of what men said they wanted. And that would just never do! It wouldn't be fair of her not to give Armand a fair chance........

Shamella was happy to see that her sons seemed to be making friends at school. The summer had been filled with play dates from numerous children. Evan really seemed to be close with Hunter Picaso. The little boy came over fairly regularly, but never stayed very long as he wanted to go home and make sure his mom and sister were ok. He seemed to take his responsibility as the "man of the house" very seriously and Shamella thought it was very sweet.......

Three Doors Down

He was bored. And while for other men this might be insignificant, for Matthew Picaso it was a new feeling. He wasn't a monster or uncaring, but he usually enjoyed his trips for the military. He got away from his regular life and was able to breathe. But this time was different. This time he found himself actually missing home, missing Jessica and Hunter and Miranda. This time, he looked forward to being reunited with his family. And he didn't know how he felt about it.............

Delays

This is not story related, something I'm trying to get away from on this blog, but not everyone follows my behind the scenes blog.......I'm still around and waaaaay behind on my blog reading :(. I also have not had the time to play to create a new update which I hate because I'm so excited about the new alien baby, who I haven't even seen yet myself!!! The beginning of the semester is always rough and this is my second to last semester of classes before 750 hours of internship so my classes are a bit more time consuming, i.e. consultations with counselors, program planning, honor society meetings; it's all really one big headache! But I see a light at the end of the tunnel and I should be able to get some play time in and have a new post by the end of the week. It's strange to go from posting almost every other day, to barely having time to read everyone else's great blogs! But that's part of being an adult right? I mean, I can't disregard all these things and shut the world out and play the sims for a few days.......can I? Nah, probably not a good idea :). Anyway, I'm still here and so is LaQuest Beach and hopefully we can return to our regularly scheduled program soon :)

Gretchen still had trouble believing she was pregnant. What were the odds?! They definitely had not been trying.

It took him a while to get here, to grow up. But now he was a husband and a father and it was time to make some grown man decisions where his family was concerned.

Taesha was so excited that they had gotten another teacher for the school. Her class load was huge and she couldn't wait until it became a bit smaller.

Clarence Phillippine was a very complex man. At least that's what his wife Lily said. He knew that she didn't understand how he could go from a gearhead, motorcycle lover to farmer John in one fell swoop. He really couldn't explain it himself. But he had always had dreams of owning a farm. It was a dream he kept to himself, as this want didn't mesh very well with his persona. But the dream was still there, tucked away in a corner of his soul, awaiting the day when he would get the courage to try to make that dream a reality. And that day was today.........

Round 8 - February 2041

Just one birthday this time, but he's such a cutie :)

How adorable is Liam Coners?! He's celebrating his first birthday. I think he's going to be a little mini version of his dad :). He's going to be a super sweet kid who is very outgoing and active. Kayla can't believe her little man is already one year old! And how cute is his little mohawk? Just like daddy's :)

* I aged Liam up just to see what he would look like and he's really going to take after Kenny and Terrence. So just thought I would give you a heartbreaker alert lol

* I know I said I would address Gretchen and her pregnancy in this bday post but this has been a busy week and I've actually not gotten a chance to go in the game in a few days. But I have another birthday post in April 2041 so we'll see her there.

* I've also added a non playable family. The Phillippine twins have been in my elementary school posts and they are the same age as the Brown twins. I added their family to Camden Park because I really wanted to have a farming family. I can't see any of my current residents waking up and wanting to run a farm lol. So we'll meet them in the next post. The father is Clarence and he'll run the farm and the mother is Lily and she'll actually be teaching at the elementary school. I have a lot in mind for a store for him to sell his produce, but he'll need to work on his badge a bit before I'll let him take out a loan and buy it.

Starema was really worried about Celeste. The newest abduction seemed to really be taking a toll on her daughter. She just didn't get why she wanted to stress herself out over this. No human would take the news that they had been pollinated well. And the males were even more opposed to it than the females as they saw it detracting from their "masculinity". It was all such silliness. She would think they would be honored to be chosen. It's not like it's something that happens every day!

Tabitha was having trouble finishing her latest novel. After the great success of Whispers in the Wind, she was nervous that Body Heat wouldn't live up to it.

No one had told her that it would hurt. Oh sure, her mother said it was "unpleasant", but this went a tad bit beyond unpleasant. Unbearable was more like it!

"My gosh, let's just calm down ok? We've got to calm down. This kid is ready to make their grand entrance," Totia said.

"Oh bite me! Why couldn't you just zap the kid out of me like you do for the males that give birth? That's the most sexist damn thing I've ever heard!" Celeste yelled.

Round 7 Summary

Births: Jordyn Pace, Liam Coners, Adam Ellison

Weddings: Kenny Coners & Kayla Knowles; Derick Pace & Charity Jones

Expectant Mothers: Celeste Oros, Jessica Picaso, Meadow Thayer

Round 7 was filled with lots of drama, laughs, and love! Mellow Metal had their first tour, Kenny got married and had his first son! Derick Pace is attempting to turn over a new leaf for the sake of his daughter and wife. Celeste is finally going to be a mother and Slade was hit with the bomb that he is going to become a father. Round 8 is sure to be just as drama filled, if not more so! Here are the ROS for round 8:

* Oh no! Scotty beamed you up! Get abducted by aliens (I SO hate who rolled this :/. It's going to be hard as hell to work this in naturally lol. I think you'll be pretty surprised! I know I was!)

* Ugh, this 9 to 5 blows! Quit your job and start a new venture.

* Expand your family by adoption (Again, very fitting for this couple. I was actually going to let them adopt Meadow's baby, but it isn't very realistic)

I've been dying to roll the abduction one and isn't it just poetic that it's on the last person I would have ever picked! It'll be very interesting to work this out, in the end I'm sure it'll be good......I hope :). I'll be creating a page for all my non-playables like Mindi and the Phillippines who have twins that go to LBE. The census page has been updated to reflect the current stats.......quite a few sims in the hood now! Please be sure to check on my babble blog here for biographies on the founding sims and newly added playables.

I've also decided to make Meadow playable. I don't see her and Slade getting together, and I actually like playing with her. Plus, she'll be having the child of a playable character so I think it's only fair. I'm on the fence about whether Ricky will or not.......

You're the closest to heaven, that I'll ever be

And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment

And all I can breathe is your life

Cause sooner or later it's over

I just don't want to miss you tonight

She should ask him. His club was doing well, but not well enough for him to be able to afford this beautiful town home. She should demand that he tell her what it is he does when he leaves the house for hours on end. And she should demand that he stop it, before he found himself locked up. She should, but she wasn't going to. She loved their life together and knew that he would never endanger Jordyn or her. And it really was a beautiful home.......

Joe Carr is 44, Ariel is 38, Kayden is 10, Javion is 8, Layla and Lauren are 1 

If you're lost you can look and you will find me

Time after time

If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting

Time after time

As performed by Javier Colon on the Voice 

Sometimes he still couldn't believe that they had been married for almost a decade. Ariel was still the most complicated woman he had ever met. While she definitely was the biggest diva he had ever known, she was also a really great mother and a beautiful wife. He didn't know how fate decided to put them together, but he was definitely glad it had........

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing

Just praying to a god that I don't believe in

Cause I've got time while she's got freedom

Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't break even

The Script

"Meadow, I thought I made myself pretty clear about this. Me and you are done. You want more than I can or am even willing to give. I don't get what's so hard to understand about that," Slade said.

"I'm not here to beg you to see me again. Are you really that shallow and conceited?" she asked.

"Then why the hell did you call me saying you just had to see me?"

I can do for you what Martin did for the people

Ran by the men but the women keep the tempo

It's very seldom that you're blessed to find your equal

Still play my part and let you take the lead role, believe me

Let me upgrade you

Marshal had left the choice of which house to buy in Talum Heights up to his wife and sister. He had given them the price range and set them loose, a very dangerous thing to do when Ariel was involved........ And though he hated to admit it, they did a pretty wonderful job........

Happy Birthday to Ya!

Round 7 - April 2040



Jessica Picaso loved being pregnant. She knew other women complained about the discomfort, but she absolutely love it. She really hoped they had a girl this time in case Matt didn't want to have any more kids. She still didn't know what to make of all his attentiveness as of late. It was a bit strange to say she felt weird that her husband was doting on her, but that was how she felt.........weird.........

Ginger Newson is 19 (Caleb Henderson and Meadow Thayer are 19)

Well, she lives in a fairy tale

Somewhere too far for us to find

Forgotten the taste and smell

Of the world that she's left behind

Keep your feet on the ground

When your head's in the clouds

Well, go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle, bury the castle

"I don't understand......I've been here almost 2 years now and you've never came over......why would you want to talk to me?............No, I mean I guess it's okay.......yea, sure come on over," Ginger said. Meadow Thayer wanted to come and hang out with her.......Either hell had frozen over, or there was something terribly wrong.......

New Ramble Blog

This is the last non sim related post for this blog. I've created a ramble blog to put all of the behind the scenes stuff so that the entries here flow better. I'm going through today and deleting any post of me just talking about randomness or game related posts. I'll transfer any important ones over there so I don't lose them completely, but the rest are just getting trashed. I'm linking to the blog on the sidebar and I've already made my first post over there, which can be found here. It's a history of what happened with Vasadori and is a few of my plans for Arwen. I'll leave this post up for a week or so and then it's coming down too! So please follow my babble blog for all behind the scenes stuff!

Caleb Henderson was pissed. His springbreak plans had been ruined by Meadow and Ricky. He and Ginger were suppose to go away with Ricky and Kimberly for springbreak. After Meadow dropped the bomb about sleeping with Ricky, Kimberly broke things off with him. Sure, he and Ginger could have gone by themselves, but he wasn't ready for a trip like that with just the two of them.........damn Meadow and her meddling!

Kip couldn't wait for Kayla to come back from maternity leave. They had gotten an influx of transfer students and he could really use her help. He wasn't sure he could handle the entire group of hormonal teens who were counting down the days until springbreak...........

Sleep well, sleep well, sleep well, sleep well

You have stolen my heart

He was growing up too fast. It only seemed like yesterday that she was carrying him in her womb. Now two years had already gone by and she just didn't know where the time had gone. She remembered saying that she would be glad when her pregnancy was over, but now she wanted it again. But she knew that baring children was no longer a part of her life........

Happy Birthday to Ya!

Round 7 - February 2040



Lorelai was SO ready to give birth to this kid! She had forgotten how uncomfortable the last months were, it sucked! Jacob was oblivious to her discomfort, he was too excited about being able to enjoy this pregnancy without worrying about whether the elder elves would come in and snatch up his son.........
