"Go talk to your fiance, Ginger! He's moping!"

"Goin' to the chapel and we're gonna get mar-ah-air-eed!"

"Hey, Abbey, I'd like to introduce you to my little brother Gallagher. He needs somebody to keep him from studying or solely schmoozing his fiancee or his sister all night."

"You know he's not gonna let you sit through his party with your face in a book." "It was worth a try. Why do people have to have parties?"

"C'mon, hon, nobody'll interrupt us if we're playing chess." "Good thinking!"

Gabriella needs intoducing round too, Gavin reflects, and this is his last chance to do it. "Well, since you ask, I really don't see why that sort of thing is anybody's business."

"So here we are, all grown up." "And still playing chess." "Well, duh."

"I love you. Let's go home." "Yeah. Lets."

Next, Kestrel rolled a want to join a Greek house! So she called up Tri-Var, from Sim State Univeristy. The girl weren't unkind to her face... but Kestrel didn't seem to make a great impression. Maybe a vampire becoming a sorority girl just wasn't going to work :(

Hamilton: Are you scared?

Sandy: No, just anxious.

Hamilton: Same thing, don’t you think?

Sandy: I’m afraid of the situation with Brandy and Bethany repeating itself.

Hamilton: As long as Rocky isn’t dating a full on alien, I don’t see how it could get worse.

Goldie's Adventures on the Moon - Day 2

Chapter 2: First signs of happiness 

When I had returned to my suite last night, I thought it'd be the worst night ever and I wouldn't get any minute of sleep! Well... I guess I judged that hotel too fast? For some reason, I woke up rather peacefully. At first, I was mad at Dad and Rhett for deserting me, but actually, I was the one who kept complaining and begging for 'some time off' - and yesterday, I just had 'some time off', so why wasn't I happy? Anyway... I also received a text message from Dad, which was like: "Hey honey, I and Rhett will be at the Lunar Market around 1 pm. So, why don't you also come and join us? I'm sure you'd find something you like!" Normally, they'd always bore me and I would never want to spend some time with them, but STRANGELY, I was actually pleased to read this and I felt like a little girl who had lost her father for many years and was happy about the news of him returning? When I arrived at the Lunar Market, I couldn't find Dad or Rhett - neither of them!

I went in every store they had there; not really wanting to buy stuff at all! I never felt so lonely; it was like I was lost in outer space and nobody could rescue me ... although they had left me just yesterday? It felt like eternity! But when I entered in the souvenir shop, my heart suddenly started to pound - it was that cute boy! He did notice me when I entered the shop and then... he winked at me...

"Hey, I recognize you... weren't you at the aquarium just yesterday?" I didn't answer, nor did I nod... or did any other gestures! "You... OK? You look like you... What happened... if I may ask?" I suddenly burst into tears... in front of him... and for some strange reason, I didn't know why? (I do have pics of me crying in that moment... and also him consoling me, but this diary should be all about fun anecdotes to remember - and to be honest, that wasn't it!)

But apparently, they were all there, but I kept missing them when I was entering the shops whilst looking for them... that made me feel SO dump! What was I doing there AT ALL? How couldn't I notice? Was I so blind... or so stupid? Or probably both?

"Oh, I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable, I didn't mean to.. it's just that..” "No, it's not you! I'm fine... actually, I enjoyed the conversations I had with you?" *blushes "Aww, how cute! Me too, although you never really spoke to me.... hey, maybe some fresh air at the garden makes you feel better... let's go there together, sweetie!"

That garden really made me feel better... or was it because I was talking to him? I don't know... but I really enjoyed the scenery over there! It was... beautiful! "Hey, let me show me how we greet here! ... just do it like me!" 

"Uhmmm... OK? I guess I tried to bow like you... ? Kinda..."

"I think you're good for now, it's cute of you to try! You're doing it great, really! "Thanks... I guess?" "I like you, you seem to be such a cool sim! What's your name? Btw, my name is Qiu Wan... yeah, I know, kinda hard to pronounce, but hey, you can call me whatever you like! My friends call me just Q." "Nice to meet you, Q! I've never heard such a name before, that's unique..." "You find me unique? ;)" *doing a flirty face "You're cute... I guess... anyway, I'm Goldie Hart! I'm just... a regular nobody!"

... I was so dazed and suddenly, I completely forgot about Dad and Rhett. I saw that my phone was ringing - it was Dad... and previously, there were five other missed phone calls from Dad.. and three from Rhett! For a minute or two, I felt happiness again! I knew it felt so good to be needed! Anyway, they asked me where I were and what I was up to - they said that they had already left the Lunar Market and had been waiting for me in the local bowling alley which also had a diner.

HOWEVER, when I arrived there... I wished I had never done that; they were just singing some weird karaoke songs and this time, I felt EMBARRASSMENT again for being with them! But luckily, Q wasn't around... which was GOOD!

We had lunch together again after such a long time! I think, that was the first time ever on the moon... when they ate, I wouldn't come.. or when I ate, they wouldn't come! But now, I started regretting it - they were talking about random stuff and I just didn't want to embarrass me any longer... so, I went outdoors!

"Hey, do you mind if I just join you? I love bowling!" "Yeah, sure! Bowling alone ain't fun.. so why not? Do you know any tricks? Show them off!"

I really loved bowling with her and got to talk to her a lot on that day; she was very talented and also very funny!

"Btw, we were talking about all kinds of stuff, but never really got to introduce ourselves, lmao! What's your name?" "We... kinda missed that indeed! It was nice to talk to you, though, I really enjoyed bowling with you! But yeah, I'm Goldie Hart! How about you?" "LOVE THAT! I'm Hua Ling - the girl with crazy anime hair and one earring. My mom owns that clothier/jewelry shop down the street, maybe you've seen me over there already." "Actually, I've never been there..." "Hey, let's meet there around 6 pm-ish? I'd like to show you some of the outfits which I've sewn myself! They'd look awesome on you, I swear!"

While I was chatting with this rather outgoing girl, Dad was kinda trying to copy some famous artists' dance moves - I can't tell whose... but the locals around there seemed to be amused, at least... they look amused in Rhett's snapshot?

He was in good mood, though! Dad would never go skating, but on that day, we REALLY went to a roller rink! It's funny since he'd never let me go roller skating back home, and here... he went roller skating himself! That was SOO fun! I screamed like a little girl! I was SO happy again after such a long time of grieving! 

I didn't want to upset Hua, though. So, I went to that little business which she runs with her mom... and to my surprise, Q as there as well? I... didn't see him when I first entered the little shop, and that made me feel so insecure again? I just... didn't understand whyy! Did I have bad kind of butterflies? Anyway... I randomly picked one of the qiapos they had (or kinomo? ... yeah, whether they called that stuff) and tried to disappear as fast as possible into one of the changing booths.

"Hahaha, why Goldie? You didn't even show me the clothing? What's wrong with you, lol? "*giggles Then... I also heard some other giggles beside hers! I... hoped Q didn't notice me and it's not his giggles? But I wasn't sure! I was afraid to even go out... but I had to. "Why were you hiding? Did you see someone? I was like: wait, whaat?!! What's going on? Did I miss something?" "I... just... no, not at all, lol!" "But hey, you look beautiful in that outfit!"

I looked around insecurely... but couldn't find Q anywhere, so he must have left, but still, it was bizarre him showing up... was he following me? Also, why did the cashier over there resemble Sadie Wilke from Widespot so much? I've seen her in another snapshot before... but this can't be her?! I mean, we'd have seen her when she travelled along... and it would absolutely make NO sense for her to travel to the moon every day, work here for some hours and then return to Widespot to run the General Store in my hometown! ... I just had to tell this Hua, she found it funny, though! Anyway, later on, I joined Dad and Rhett at the SkEye Observatory! I was very eager to try out these telescopes, since I had never used one before - I knew, that a fellow student back at home... well Woody had some of these in his home, but it'd be kinda weird to ask to use, so... I didn't bother to ask! Not to mention that his dad wouldn't have allowed me to use anyway.

I could tell, though, that Dad and Rhett weren't really into stargazing! I heard them yawning all the time... "Honey, do you mind if we leave you lonely for a minute or two? I think... i've seen a meteorite crashing downstairs!" "Fine Dad, I know you're bored and you just try to find an excuse to go to the bar downstairs!" "Yeah, that's exactly what I was about to say! But didn't want to... uhm... hurt your feelings..." "Just... leave me loney, I'll be alright!"

While I didn't know what they were up to downstairs, this snapshot didn't really surprise me! I just knew they'd be flirting... again! This time, I wasn't necessarily mad at them... not even at Dad for moving on too fast after Mom died? Anyway, my second day on the moon was a great success! It didn't start that well, but I made friends with some really good guys out there! Q's been so charming recently, but I never dared to... uhm ask whether he has a girlfriend... let alone boyfriend? I kinda felt ashamed to weep in front of him, what does he think of me now... after all of this? I was such a cry baby! But hold on, was it really him who was kinda... following me? Anyway, I've never been this shy before, I don't get this, I'm an OUTGOING girl! I've never struggled to talk to someone... so, what's wrong with Q? I think Hua's noticed that I had a crush on him? NOO, it's not a crush! It's just... well, I only find him cute, that's all!

Pics Captioned.

[nerianasims]

Sadie and Bonifac’s first day (or two?) living together went well.

[arielcapp]

Scot and Sadie seem to be getting along quite well...

[kaylynn-langerak]

Some screenshots from the last Weiss round that didn’t really fit in anywhere, but I like them so I’m posting them anyway.

Skye finally maxed his logic skill! Clariece prefers her recycled suitcase bed that Woody gave her to the actual dog bed that Woody bought her. And Candy danced her heart out while Woody had his broken.

This was a really fun round. I wish Skye had been in it more, but he spent the entire round playing chess, building robots, and of course, cleaning. Just regular Skye things. 

I can’t wait to play the next round because (if my math is correct) all the babies should be aging up and I can’t wait to see what their faces look like! But I’m gonna take a break from the main neighborhood and play a round of Land Grant University.

[widespot]

Orphans Triumphant

Unfortunately for the harmony of the house, Sadie's history studies and Rocky's faith in his family's political legacy are often at odds. "Will you grow up? Politicians are not genies granting wishes to make things better for everybody! They're fallible people who historically are not all that dedicated to the public good!" "Will you calm down? I'm not talking about politicians in the abstract and you take that back about Dad and Grandma."

"C+. Okay, we all knew I wasn't brilliant. But passing is passing. I refuse to get discouraged."

"No brooding." "I'm not brooding. Everything's going to be fine. I'm a senior now and you and Ginger will share a place till Rocky and I graduate and we'll get our dream jobs." "Don't think so far ahead. Just enjoy the night. It's a beautiful night."

"Dang dang dang! You'd think I'd know how to cook hot dogs by now."

"You eat your chemical laden mystery meat tubes. I'm gonna catch us something worth grilling." "That takes time. I'm hungry now."

"Ha! Knew I could do it."

[katatty]

“So, um... I could make us some tea? Or-”

“Come on, Martin. You really think I came out all the way out to Strangetown for a cup of tea???”

“Right, right. Do you... maybe want to stay the night?”

“Yes, please.”

[penig]

When River realizes Gavin isn't even using his assigned room, he borrows it. Ginger's in the next room over, and he doesn't know if they're on or off. But at least they're on the same floor. He'll figure it out tomorrow. 

Or the next day.

hey michelle, do you know any good mystery books?

hi, there! it really depends on what kind of mystery you're looking for, i guess? you can always check out my mystery shelf on goodreads, but here are some mystery(-ish) novels i have enjoyed:

the push, ashley audrain (this is a mystery with some domestic thriller elements i'd say. this might make my 2021 favorites list.)

sadie, courtney summers (one of my fav ya books ever!!!)

the plot, jean hanff korelitz (a upmarket read that had me entertained throughout.)

the kind worth killing, peter swanson (one of my favorite mystery thrillers i'd say.)

he started it, samantha downing (this has some thriller elements, but not too much imo. i think i read this in a day, i was so hooked.)

the only good indians, stephen graham jones (a season appropriate horror novel with mystery elements.)

if we were villains, ml rio (it's another upmarket read that has mystery as well as literary fiction elements. one of my favorite books.)

the inheritance games, jennifer lynn barnes (if you're looking for a light read. i think the sequel is out, but i haven't read it yet. so know idea if the series as a whole is worth it.)

under the cut are some suggestions that are a little bit more out there... and probably not for everyone.

we were liars, e lockhart (read this a couple years ago and enjoyed it. not sure if it holds up though.)

house of hollow, krystal sutherland (the best ya mystery i read this year i think! it also has some magical realism, if that's your thing.)

the woman in white, wilkie collins (a gothic mystery classic with some detective fiction elements even though there is no detective.)

and then there were none, agatha christie (another classic! i finished it in a day bc i just couldn't put it down.)

all's well, mona awad (it's weird and absurdist and there are some mystery elements but it's not a main focus.)

death in her hands, ottessa moshfegh (i can see why people would hate this but i enjoyed it. the characters are pretty unlikable though. it's weird and kinda literary fictions but also kinda not.)

the grownup, gillian flynn (controversial, but this is probably my favorite gillian flynn. it's also just a novella, so it's super short!)

[nappe-plays-the-sims]

Skye was overjoyed with the way his party was going, smustling and getting to reconnect with his grandson Cyan. He had wanted to see Woody, as neither he or Penny had seen him since his prison sentence, but Woody had mumbled something about needing to flee because of the sun.

[mlek13]

Winter, Year 7: Meanwhile, in a Neighboring Kingdom, pt. 2

This season was very eventful in the Warner-King household.  It was to the point that it started to feel like everything that could go wrong did go wrong.

First Ian nearly dies of sickness, luckily Stacy is able to plead on his behalf.

Some good things happened too.  Kamala goes into labor.

She has a baby boy named Natesh.

Everyone is eating their soup and trying to keep healthy  So for now things seem to be going well.

Earnest decides to adopt a dog.

Then things start to go downhill.  The Grim Reaper comes for Stacy.  Her time is up.  According to the game, Stacy King was 76.  She was married to Nathen Warner who preceded her in death.  Together they had four children: Tobias (Elaine Cade), Galen (Princess Violette), Ione (Earnest), and Tarquin (Kamala Langerak), thirteen grandchildren: Eli (Princess Dahlia) Cade, Silas (Sadie Burgos) Cade, Jonas Cade, Elise Cade, Prince Glenn, Ian King, Evangeline King, Edgar King, Rama Langerak, Chandra Langerak, Deven Langerak, Indira Langerak, and Natesh Langerak, and four great-grandchildren: Princess Delilah, Salina Burgos, Anika Langerak, and Doreen Burgos.

I forgot that Stacy owned the medical centre.  I’m not sure if it was always hers or if she inherited it from Nathen.  She passed it on to Ione, who has no interest in that sort of thing, so I should probably sell it to someone else in the medical field.

Someone neglected the children and the social worker took them away.  Kamala and Tarquin have been poor parents in the past, which is why I moved their brood in with the grandparents, now that Stacy and Nathen are gone they must be missing the extra support.  I teleport the babies back resulting in the crazy photo below and I think I accidentally summoned an extra baby, probably Sitara’s, that I had to clear off.

More madness happened that I didn’t take photos off.  A fire broke out.  Kamala and Ione both had miscarriages.  Ione was nearly at the end of her pregnancy, so it was especially tragic.

On a good note, the children are growing up.  Natesh is a toddler.

Edgar is a devious looking child.  (Seriously, I’m worried about what he’s up to.)

And Anika is a toddler too.

I moved Kamala, Tarquin, and their children out at the end of the season.  Ione would be the one to inherit and I think she would appreciate having time and the house just to herself with her husband and children.  They didn’t take many funds with them when they left, so it has been a struggle to find them a place they can afford with room for five children.

Over at the Mace’s, Hope is aging faster than I expected.

Oh no!  Behind you!

Yikes!

I’m kind of surprised that Hope died of old age not too long after her mother.  I think she’s my first born-in game sim to die of old age in the kingdom.

Since Hope is from my unofficial households that I didn’t play evenly or keep close track of, I’m not sure of her actual age, but according to the game she was 68.  Hope Mace was the daughter of Joy Mace and Cleve Wilkie, both deceased.  She was married to Nolan Durden who preceded her in death.  She later married Alon Graham who survives.  She had two children, Owen (Sophie Burgos) and Faith, and five grandchildren, Sharona, Ramona, Shelby, Shiloh, and Ophelia.  She is also survived by her brother Rex (Amy Lewis) Mace.
