At the park, Sam runs past the chess tables to meet with her sweetie. 

“Brother, what the hell are you doing here; did you follow me?  Quit showing off to Bella and go home!  Does Briana know you’re here?” 

“What?  I’m just fixing the chess table, it was wobbly.  Now I can go catch that fish Boo wanted; she’s making me sushi for my birthday!”

Sam shakes her head and jogs to the picnic ground in the back. 

Aw, Christopher brought her a rose… 

Me: “Sam, you’re having way too much fun with that homework.  It’s unhealthy.” 

Sam: “No no, I’m happy because I’m almost done!  Then I can go catch Christopher at the park!” 

Me: “OH okay.  I’m just going to go for a swim, then read to the kids while damp.  That sounds fun right?” 

Sam: “YEAHSUREBYE.” 

Outside, Justin: “Date?  What date?” 

Sam: “Don’t worry brother, he won’t do anything to me that I don’t want him to.”

Wink

Justin: “Well you have fun with that, and feel free not to tell me the details later.” 

When you get this, you must (if you want to) publicly post something nice about at least 5 different people you follow, then copy and paste this in each of their ask boxes.

drewshivers:

Thank gosh it says at least five. Where to start..oh boy.

@shortandsweetsims: Meg, you’re an amazing person. I was a little quiet for awhile there, and then I found myself replying to you the most. I might sound weird okay but lol, I always looked forward to a response from you! You might not have considered me a friend back then, but I felt like you were one. You’re so sweet and I’m glad we met. 

@purrsula: You are absolutely hilarious and adorable. I’m not sure if you consider me a super close friend but I’m always here for you, and will most likely be the person to hold your intervention when your house has over 30 cats and kittens in the years to come. ❤

@nicole-simsessed: You, are so damn funny. LOL. And helpful! I love your screens and comments, and you’re not afraid to speak your mind respectively. Never stop being you. 🙂

@sims-everlasting: Why, without you, I would not have my beloved Piper. I don’t always grow so attached to sims, but I have now, so much. Aside from being a wonderful sim creator, you’re so sweet and ugh. I want to squeeze you!

@myindiesims: Ahh, Jenna. We’ve been shipped a few times, and I can say now that I wouldn’t mind sailing with ya’. Aside from your superb help, you’re an amazing, intellectual young woman and that really catches my eye. Not to mention we’ve a lot in common. I love it.

@simsfosure: Ooh goodness, this cutie! You’re very brave for being so confident in yourself. And I know some people can be jerks, but you never stoop low like them in response. Stay you. And hug Bart for me. P.S.- I love your voice. Maybe that was weird of me. LOL..but it’s cute!

@ajoya-sims: Hey there, I know we don’t talk-ever. But, I love your amazing posts. There hasn’t been one that I have not smiled over. You’re so down to earth and witty, an amazing woman. Your family is goals. ❤

@simmertrish: Hey there cutie. 🙂 I just wanted to say that you’re funny and though we don’t talk 24/7, I love when we do. It’s never a disappointing or uneventful chat! 

-Deep breath-

@kiwisims4: Gosh, where do I start..dude, you’re fucking amazing. You’re funny, and compassionate. On top of that, you’re a wonderful creator. I hope that fortune really finds you if it has not already. I want to be as selfless as you. I really do want to be on your level some day. I hope you’ll work with me some day. I’m working on it! I just need a lot of practice and some talent..LOL.

@untraditionalnerd: Man, you’re fucking beast! Like, a master of meshes. I don’t even know where to start, and you’re making body meshes, wings, and more! You’re someone that I aspire to be in the community. Your skill is just, breathtaking. On top of that, you’ve got a rad personality. You’re one of my idols and I want to impress you some day.

@lumialoversims: A few months ago,(weeks? months) I remember congratulating you and you actually responded. Call me silly, but that really tickled me. I had no experience whatsoever and suddenly this light in the community sees me-even if it was a thank you. Your work has really changed this community for the better. You’re an outstanding person. Maybe some day, we can collab too-once I get past my lack of skill..lol.

It’s my dream to work with you three some day in the future. I can’t offer much at the moment, so I’d be to flustered to anytime soon but, just you wait! 🙂

I could probably write for hours..lol. But, you people and everyone else I know are just. Amazing!

Homework time for kids and aunts alike, then everybody’s favorite: TV time!  And just like his daddy, Ben finds the perfect center of the TV viewspace and stands in it.  [It’s like he’s effing magic I swear to god. Sigh.] 

Then we have the many faces of Maggie.  She’s a hot-head like me, so we tend to face off a lot.  [In RL she’s also just turned two, but thinks she’s twenty.] 

My SiL and Eliza are coworkers, and don’t get along well.  No surprise there; I have yet to make a sim that Eliza does get along with.  Sam gets along great with Kaitlyn and Florence though!  Then after work it’s some smooth sipping to close the day. 

[Ah, coffee.  Is it a cure-all?  No.  Does it help with hangovers?  Eh.  Well drink it anyway, because Penny is waiting patiently next door for you to get your butt dressed and go help her with her music homework!] 

[Although to be honest, you may not be the best choice in tutor…

“Atti-cus you-make-my-heart-sing!” 

Hm, no.  Dang, my dad makes this look so easy…

It’s Party Time! 

And we’re off to a grand start as Charlotte immediately mocks Freddy walking in.  He is not impressed. 

Danae and Penny chat for a few minutes about fashion and new haircuts while waiting for the last guests to arrive. 

At the table, Tem turns to Rosetta.  “Thanks again Rosie for suggesting your grandmother; not having to cook for tonight means Kam and I can actually enjoy it!”  […well maybe if you’d left the damn tacos alone…] 

Kam is kicking back on the couch with his birthday girl and some of the boys head outside to hide with Atticus… who is probably drinking more than he ought to right now. 

[Hey!  No hitting on your sister’s drunken friend!

[Kam in the background: That’s my boy!

[Brandi in passing: Oooh, juicy gossip!

A bit of dancing, and drinking for those staying the night, as everyone with work or school tomorrow shuffles out.  [Don’t look at them like that Shar, not everyone can be a party animal.

[Aw… sleeping like a little drunken angel…] 

jorgha-haq:

I never understood this interaction except it gives more mischief to the sims that’s all.Plus I have never notification in return just to make sure my sims hurts the other one.

I don’t get it either. Just happened to be his first autonomous action. For someone running around in a llama super hero suit, it seemed fitting somehow  :P. I suspect he’s the sort of asshole that would go around pointing out everyone spelling/grammar/punctuation mistakes.

Maybe he’s not a super-hero, but a super-villain

Danae: “Hi Penny, Mrs. Hopper!  Sorry I’m late, there was a rush and they asked me to wait until Angie came in.  Are you ready to go?” 

Penelope: “YES.  I was this close to just chopping it off in the kitchen this morning, but mom stopped me.” =/ 

Tem: “Well of course I did!  I don’t want to find your hair in my food for the next couple of weeks.”  She wrinkles her nose and waves the girls off.  “Just be back by three, and don’t come back bald!” 

Tem: “How’s Atticus lately hon?  For the last few weeks it seems like I’m coming in right as he’s going out.” 

Kam: “Hm, not too well.  He’s trying so hard to impress everyone that he’s going to burn out.  I want to talk to him about it, but I only see him a few times a week myself; he might as well be living there for all the time we’ve got.” 

[Then, I swear, she stops to look up at me as if to say “Quit screwing with my baby!”] 

Atticus comes home early for a change, probably too terrified of his sister to miss her 21st birthday party.  He shuffles into the kitchen and finds Charlotte making more fish tacos (everyone keeps eating them- you guys they’re for the party -_-).  Blearily, he looks her over.  “Is that what you’re wearing later?  Why do you match the kitchen?” 

Charlotte shakes a finger at him.  “Because when the zombie apocalypse comes, all I have to do to survive you chumps is stand still!  But my pajamas are beside the point.  Look at you, you’re exhausted!  When’s the last time you got any real sleep?” 

“I slept last night?” 

“That wasn’t sleep, that was you mumbling incoherently about strings and pins for four hours on the couch before I made you go to bed.  You need to take a little time off, maybe get a girlfriend.” 

“Can we talk about this tomorrow?  Right now, I just want to eat and take a nap.” 

She scowls.  “Fine.  But you’d better be here tomorrow!” 

“Where else would I be?  I’m too tired to run away.”  He tries to smile as he scarfs a few stolen tacos.
