Genietics Challenge Episode 19

***Warning: This chapter is so full of cliches you might actually explode. ***

I was getting out of bed, preparing for my first day of senior year, when it hit me. 

Heh heh heh...

I've just had an epiphany  I can't reveal much, but I've finally found a way to make Harvey's life a whole lot better.

HAHAHA YES! This is too good. Goodbye writer's block!!!!11!!! Mwhahaha!

Edit: Dammit. Today's sunday. Well, the update's going to be coming in the early hours of monday morning, then. (No. Don't even go there -_- ) Once again, Happy Christmas Holidays, everybody!

Agenda

Okay, It is now winter break, finally, and I've got a lot on the agenda for getting...stuff...done. Wow, my english teachers are rolling over in their graves.

Anyway, here are all the things I am not going to get done, but say that I am because I like to pretend that I'm a productive member of society.

-Episode 19-24 screenshots.
-Episode 19-20, released.
-Install some ep's which I suspect I may be getting for Christmas.... we'll see.
-A video for NASA (it's a resume thing)
-A shopping spree for Rome
- More things that are completely irrelevant.
-I'm not dead, I swear.
-So...the world didn't end. Shame.
-There was one more thing I wanted to add to this list, but I forgot. Dammit.

Happy Holidays everyone! If you didn't see the Lemon-Limes' holiday video in the previous post, I'll be telling dirty secrets about you to your significant other until you do.

Cheers!
Ruby

P.S: I have a cold.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

This is me, apologizing in advance for the terrible quality. :) Merry Christmas, Happy holidays!

Genetics Challenge Episode 18

Oh god...yes, you guys can come to my house and hit me over the head with a brick. It's been about four weeks, I think...and I have no excuse for the past two. GAH! But, yey, I'm back. And on the plus side, even though I didn't get much footage today because of game issues, next week is thanks giving break, so I'm planning out a Big ol' thing us writers like to call 'plot'. So yea, definitely look forward to that.

Hurricane sandy was nice. I mean, It wasn't too bad in my area (They closed school for three days because of power, but mwahaha: mine came back on before anyone else's >:D)

But my god, lets do the Episode now, because who wants to read all of that ^^???

Right, so let's start off with Harvey's birthday, and a page break.

Frankenstorm

I do apologize for not updating this week...last night/yesterday, the US was hit with one of the worst storms, well, ever. I have not had reliable access to electricity, either, so, while I'm trying my best to get something up, it's going to have to wait until next week.

I hope your all safe and that your ...stuff... wasn't too badly damaged.

-Ruby :)

Genetics Episode 17

And in a pipe she files to the motherland
or sells love to another man
it's too cold outside
for angels to fly....

As you can probably tell I've been absolutely obsessed with Ed Sheeran, so don't be surprised if this story takes a turn for the romantic next generation :D

Anyway, on to whatever you want to call this crazy thing I call a challenge. :) CHAPTER 17!!

So,  Jade has been busy - loosing the baby weight, that is. She recently gained a little more than a few pounds, and, in an athletic rage, took to the treadmill for 12 hours straight. 

She did like her kids, though. As much as those things can be liked.

She even let Kane sit in the garden for a little while. And it was most definitely not because he was great at screaming his head off at the turn of every hour.

"Oh great, just my luck -- another one of you" Mint scowled. First the little screamer, and now the little whiner. What did he want this time, and where in god's name was Jade? Wasn't she supposed to be taking care of the little bugger? "I won't, under any circumstances, read you a bed time story, if that's what you're here for."

He imitated her. "I won't under any circumstances..."

"You've crossed the wrong river, buddy," Mint said in a dangerous tone of voice. She thought back to her history major and how Cesar had crossed the Rubicon, invading Rome and winning. This would not be one of those times, she vowed. She would have to do something - a stern talking to wasn't going to cut it, but what?

On the other side of the house, the shower lay abandoned... it was massage time between Jade and Tom. Naturally, just being around water made Tom feel more relaxed (given his history), but massages after a hard day swimming in the olympic sized pool at work were hard to beat. Especially if they were being given by your sweat pant clad wife whilst you were shirtless.

Soon enough, reality called, though, and Jade left to tend to her boys. They had, by now, grown into stinky toddlers, but there was nothing to be done about the smell aside from get used to it.

Speaking of smells, Jade! Have you been going a little heavy on the onions or something? Is it beans? Oh, you're pregnant.... (yep...she's preggers again, seeing as none of the children are genetically perfect...meh it's going to be a long road to the end)

Here's a baby, passed out on the floor next to a crib...

Here's the other one...being neglected as babies usually are in the Lemon-Lime household. 

In the meantime, allow me to introduce you to THE PACEMAKER - A PERFECT GARDEN FOR A PERFECT INDIVIDUAL!!! (It's Mint, by the way. I decided to give her a garden exclusively to grow and breed her perfect plants in. It's separate from her commercial garden.)

"Gah! Mommy, I fwink shomones washing us"

"I can't understand you, honey."

"But I muu go! By peeple! Dey are carrring to beh!

And I too, must go! So long, keep those feels under control, and I shall see you all in the next episode! BYYYYE

Edit: haha...yea, I forgot their names there...but I've remembered now! Dervish and Kane...I honestly can't tell which one's which, but you'll find out in subsequent chapters.

Genetics Challenge Episode 16

Hello and welcome to Episode 16, as you all know, since you've read every single episode up till now...right!??! -- anyway, as you all know, I like to write a funny blurb at the top...tell a few jokes. You know, the usual. Well today, I bring you three words: Fried Jumpers. Areprettygood. What can I say, it's late....

TO THE TIME MACHINE: EPISODE 16
(See what I did there...a wild ryhme rhyme appears)

Election 2012

"This post has gotten a little off topic. I guess it’s just because I can’t believe that this is still an issue. I can’t believe that we still see someone simply as black or white, and not just as human. I was raised by parents who taught me that everyone was equal. That your race meant very little in the scheme of things. That your race might define your culture, and that’s great, but it would never define your abilities or character. So I don’t look at that anymore. I look at candidates’ ideas, beliefs, and intent much, much more than I look at the color of their skin.

Of course, it was a huge achievement that Obama was the first African American to get elected President. I celebrated along with everyone else, because that kind of change is groundbreaking. But now, we should be able to move on. Elect Asians, women, gays. I don’t care. I just want someone to run my country and have some dignity while they do it.

So now that I’ve run around in circles, I guess all I have to say is this: get over it, America. Get over your prejudices, your preconceived notions, your stereotypes. Get over it and vote. And give each other a hug, while you’re at it.

Cappy"

-Cappy @ Writer's Block (Her wordpress blog)

That was taken from a post about the American, 2012, election for president. I completely agree with this statement and the reason I haven't said something like it is because she's written it so much better. I'm not suddenly becoming a political blog about a country you don't live in, so don't worry. :) I just have opinions...strong ones. SO keep calm and carry on; check back next week for more things sims. (Unless you're having an all day breakfast, in which case you are excused, you classy bastard, you.)

Genetics Challenge Episode 15

You thought I was assassinated and tossed off the face of the Earth? You thought wrong! Ahahahahahah!

Anyway, in all seriousness, I know it's been a while and I am sorry for that, but I'm planning on making some free time for myself so I can get some quality time with my sims for you guys :D

Episode 15, then. Shall we?

She waited for him, on the bed they once shared...waiting for him to get up. There were so many things she wanted to say, she didn't know where to start. She sighed, as Tom's deep breaths lessened, a sign that he was waking up.

"I wanted to say I'm-"

"No. I'm sorry."

And then she was in his arms and...and...everything was okay again.

"I'm sorry I overreacted. I can't even begin to put it into words...but...I realized that you really did love me and that it was I who...doubted our marriage. I doubted my love for you, and for that...I am so, so sorry."

"Shhh"And Jade kissed him.

And then some other things happened, but I won't really go into any detail about them.

Meanwhile, Harvey was out in the yard, as usual, being neglected. I swear, social services is just going to show up at their door one day and I won't even be surprised.

So Tom and Jade were back together, and that meant good things. Specifically for the genetics challenge because...

Jade had some more babies to pop out. :D

She also had some thank you cards to send for the wedding that seemed so long ago.

The next day, to get the family's spirits up, Mint decide they should all go and have a visit with Forest and his new family. They arrived to find that his house, for starters, was a lot nicer than their house...which was....interesting.

Inside, they found his wife with their new baby, Bonnie.

And because I was curious, I aged Bonnie up to see what she would look like. Not bad...She takes after her mother, thankfully. 

AAnnnd, THE CATS WERE REUNITED!!! :D 

Daisy and Chiquita had some fun times sniffing each other and just generally playing around. They must have missed each other more than I thought.

You know, maybe I was wrong about Mint, having 3 children of her own seems to have euthanized her to the offending child in her arms. That's Ahmazing!

But you know, when your over near somebody else's garden, you might as well take advantage of their money trees. I mean, the baby can't talk, so there's no one to tell on you. Ehehehehe.

Jade and her bother had a fun time catching up, as well. He asked how things were going: She skirted around the question because things had a history of not going so fine. She asked how his family was doing, and he said fine, pretending like he'd had more than 3 hours of sleep last night on account of a screaming baby. Yup, just a regular old conversation between siblings. 

Soon enough, however, they ran out of things to talk about. Thus, Jade headed for the sprinklers and Forest...

started yet another bad painting.

Oh god, I have once again neglected Harvey, so he aged up on his own with only the baby sitter as company.

At least he doesn't look like Forest. At least he doesn't look like Forest.

And I leave you with this picture of Chiquita resting on the bureau in Forest's bedroom...because she really didn't want to leave that place, even after everyone went home and the shadows across the garden turned to night.

Bittersweet News

Okay, so I have some news - really, really good for me, but kind of bad for this blog. I recently got the opportunity of a lifetime to be a graphic designer for a club at my school. Well, I'm actually building their website, doing all their graphics, designing some other things like a logo, and managing their PR. I'm the communications executive....which is kind of perfect for what I want to do. And I'm not just going to half-ass anything this time round either. This is something that really allows me to combine everything I've always wanted to do into one. And it's kind of amazing; I've been in this really good mood for the past three days.

Anyway, last night I was thinking; thinking about what I wanted to do for this job, and for the website I'm designing. And I realized that this would have to become something I devote a lot of my free time to - which is kind of nice since I love doing it. But the downside is that I won't be able to keep up this blog as much.

This does not, absolutely does not, mean that I will be discontinuing my genetics challenge! I am determined to see it through to the end. But I just wanted to thank....sims....for getting me started in Photoshop and all those other programs which really allowed me to capitalize on this fantastic opportunity when it came my way.

So, really, what I've been trying to say is thank you. Thank you for everything.

-Ruby

Genetics Challenge Episode 14

It was my grandfather's 92nd birthday today! :D And amazingly, he's not a vegetable! WoaW!

You can pretend you didn't read all that randomness...unless, of course....you're into that sort of thing....if ya know what I mean. >;D (I'm just kidding....don't get any ideas).

WELL. This chapter isn't going to write it's self. Read on!

Genetics Challenge Episode 13

After a week long hiatus...I'm back! I think Episodes are going to be weekly, now, because I really don't have a lot of time on my hands. I mean, it's not like I'm a time travler...or anything..... but ANYWAY, on to the chapter.... :D

Tom slept alone that night. Not that he wanted the company of his wife anyway...he had some things to work out for himself.

Genetics Challenge Episode 12

I know it's been a little while...but I've been busy...taking naps. :D Getting up at 5 am is pretty rough on you. Anyway, I've finally gotten around to writing a new chapter, so here you go. :D

Genetics Challenge Episode 11

Well the eve of the first day of school is here...and from what I can tell from her syllabus, my english teacher sounds like a real jackass. I'm not even gonna apologize for that. Anyway, there's some really sad music from a commercial playing on my TV downstairs right now...so this might not be the happiest thing you've ever read.

Let us begin. 

So, where were we? Oh yea, Mint was pregnant...and spending some time with her dear brother by the looks of it.

Genetics Challenge Episode 10

Well guys, this is it; the big one o. And with it comes some intense drama, and a plot twist that you probably didn't see coming...because I don't really have any plot in the first place... but that's not important anymore because I can add it in whenever I want! HA! Take that you...writer...people.... (ahmygad, I need some better insults.) (After writing this episode, I realized that I was getting a little bit ahead of myself...the plot is coming later >;D)

ONWARDS:

New Things

ahbleeerrrrrrgggggg: I  got a new backpack. It is purple. That is all.

Edit: I've now got screenshots done for the next seven chapters...so if you're wondering what I was doing and why I was not getting on the next chapter asap: that is why. And let me tell you, many a dramatic moments are coming. Soon. Real soon. >;D

Genetics Challenge Episode 9

Big things are happening in the Lemon-Lime household.... and you'll just have to read the episode to find out >;D (I love these page break things) *Corrected a typo 9/3/12

Genetics Challenge Episode 8

BLERRRBBB Welcome to Episode 8 :D I've been playing the challenge a lot lately, because I'm saving up for future episodes....because I'm going back to school and I want to be able to throw together a chapter in a small amount of time. But why am I telling you guys all this?!?! These are trade secrets, goddamnit! On to the Episode. (I know I skipped one somewhere in there, so this is technically episode 9...shhhh)

That Idiot Next Door

I know approx.. none of you live in the USA (that's right you little shits, I know who you are O.O) but I'd like to talk about the republican national convention for a little while, so please excuse my ranting.

First of all, the republicans are like that lovable idiot next door, who always answers the question: What do you want to be when you grow up, with: I want to be the president of the united states; the greatest fucking country in the world. Would you take someone like that seriously? Well, how about he gets to congress...he's in the minority, right, he couldn't possibly get anything done, not to mention the fact that his ideas and policies are counter-productive.

Well that same lovable idiot shows up with a gun and threatens to shoot some innocent citizens the next day, and the next thing you know he's just the idiot next door who might actually change things. For the worse. So he gets a following....and you're scared. Because you have this irrational guy who thinks he knows what he's doing, but actually has no fucking clue.

They aren't interested in helping the every person. They're interested in helping themselves...and maybe a select few friends. When you run for an office in the united states, you shouldn't do it for any other reason than to help people. You are they're leader, and it's about time the republicans act like it. You know the reason people either love them, or really, really hate them? It's because half the people are uneducated about important issues in this country, and the rest of their supporters are educated enough to know where their  best interests are. (Well, just a little dose of reality here, you aren't in office to protect your interests, you're there to protect the american people's.) Oh, and the rest of the country knows enough about the difference between right and wrong to make a good decision come election day.

The governor of New Jersey may be good at making speeches, but he really was one to talk. If you listen carefully, you'll notice that most of the things he said were all fluff, and not supported by actual facts...let alone records from his own party. The thing is, you can talk about destiny all you like, but if you don't give specifics on how to get there, you're going to end up sounding like a bad self help book. The RNC has been filled with generics that neither define party standings nor present any actual plans. I'd like to here something that couldn't be applied to any situation imaginable, please.

On the surface it may be easy to get into that mindset; that way of thinking, but dig a little deeper and you will see a house of cards, waiting to be topled by simply the use of reason and logic. No, it didn't work the last time around, and no, you didn't build that.

Tunes

Does anyone else find this irresistibly catchy?

I've never even heard of this show...but I'ts sooo catchy!

Are You Happy?

"We can't be together."

"Why not?"

"...because." There was silence. "I'm sorry. I let you in. I never let anyone in." I turned, pulling myself out of his arms. I didn't look back, just started walking. I'm sure he was still standing there...

Genetics Challenge Episode 7

Graduation fell on the same day as the wedding. Juniper walked up the sidewalk, headed for city hall. Her graduation robes were heavy. She spent every minute wishing it was over; there were more important things to do.

Genetics Challenge Episode 6

yea, yea, I know it's been a while. This one's probably going to be broken up into two chapters....and then it's practically the end of generation one! I know, I'm not that sad either. (I don't know if you guys know this, but Mint's always been a little 'off', If ya know what I mean. ) (no, that's not what I mean... never mind ;D )

So, without further ado...Episode 6.

Just a little bit strange...

Can somebody please tell me why the most redirects to my blog are from a porn site?? Somebody???? Also Russia... whoever you are, do you live in Russia??? Anyway, this is the internet, I'm not even surprised. :D :D Thank you all for reading :) From where ever you are!

The Quadruple Digits

Guess what guys, it took 2 years and a lot of lame posts, but I finally hit 1000 hits. Yea, yea, it seems like even the most ridiculous blog has over ten thousand, but I'm blaming the 6 month hiatus I took.... that's gotta be it. Also, the internet robots. They're working against me. I'm just going to have to send my Gnome army against them, and even I can't really control them when they get going.

If you couldn't tell, it's very early in the morning, and I have just had a glass of caffeine... I'll be going to sleep now. :D :D :D :D

The Lines That Blur

Sam looked  up from her laptop. She was just getting to the good part of her story, and she really needed to keep writing. She hoped the doctor wouldn't stay long.

"Hi...Sam. How are you feeling." He asked, approaching her tentatively.

"Not great," She shrugged and gave him a grudging smile, "I have my work cut out for me, though." She said, gesturing at the laptop. It rested on her lap, and typing put her head at a bad angle. She was starting to feel the pain, now, but she was determined to keep it together, at least until Dr. Kauffman left. She propped herself up a little more, and tried to adjust her pillows.

"Allow me," said Dr. Kauffman, adjusting her hospital bed for her. Sam hadn't always been a full time resident of Grace Lee Memorial Hospital, not until a few weeks ago, at least. Her heart had taken a turn for the worst. It had never been that great in the first place; she'd had several valves put in at age nine. They were supposed to replace her regular veins, because they weren't pumping enough blood...or something like that. No one had really taken the time to explain to her. Something had happened again, now, ten years later, on the eve of her 20th birthday.

Apparently she had collapsed one day at breakfast, though she didn't remember anything before waking up in the hospital. It was a horrible place to live; the air was always cold, and there were always various  machines beeping away and making it hard to sleep. She sighed. The doctors had told her that something was wrong with one of the valves. Her heart rate was up, and only a steady drip from the IV kept it down in the normal range. Dr. Kauffman was here to tell her something, though. He never just walked in spontaneously. He wasn't a very spur of the moment man.

"We need to run another MRI, just too be sure that's the problem," He was saying, "and once we've confirmed it, we'll go in and fix you up." He finished with a smile.

"Does this mean I'm going to have to have another operation," Sam asked with a worried look on her face. She didn't like operations. Just one more scar, she thought sadly.

"Unfortunately, yes." Dr. Kauffman replied, pressing his lips together. "I know it's difficult, Sam, but we're doing everything we can to make it easier on you. On tuesday you'll go in for the MRI, and on thursday, if we get the green light, we'll do the, er, procedure. You'll close your eyes, and wake up here. It'll be over before you know it."

"That's great, Dr. Kauffman." She deadpanned. "Do you know if my family is coming to visit today?" This was a much more interesting topic. She'd wanted to talk to her sister; arrange some things with her.

"They haven't told me anything about today, but I'm pretty sure they'll swing by tomorrow morning to see you," he said with a smile.

Sam smiled back; it'd been a while since their last visit.

"Well, I'll leave you to it," Dr. Kauffman said, glancing at her computer.

"Yea, uh, thanks," She finished lamely. She was never sure what to say to Dr. Kauffman when he left. It was why she always dreaded him coming in. Not to mention the fact that he nearly always brought bad news. She'd welcome the day when the only thing he'd say was that she could go home.

Just a few more days, Sam," she told herself, "and then it will all be over." It was a shame about her family not coming today, she thought as she turned back to her work, she really missed them.


She hit enter on the keyboard to start a new line of dialogue. Blogging, and the stories she wrote, were a main part of keeping her hopes up in the hospital. It was a rather depressing place, she thought. Just a few more days.

Her writing was more important than ever now, she felt so dedicated to it, like she had a duty to herself and to her fans to keep going, but she was still trying to get over some writers block. "You're not going to write yourself, are you?" She asked the computer. "Yea, I thought not." She scribbled down a line, then deleted it. Nothing felt right anymore. Maybe it was the sudden tightness in her chest? Yes, it was definitely tighter than before.

"Nurse!" She took the deepest breath she could and yelled for help. Someone was there, trying to help her lie down, but it was all fading. Each breath was shallower than the last. "I'm scared," was her last thought before the blackness closed in on her, "what if I don't wake up?" Her question went unanswered.

Expectations

blubbb.... school is starting in about a week... meh. I've actually gotten used to, and like, doing nothing all day. It's not that bad, really. Anyway, back to the days of no sleep and 6 hour homework assignments. Meh. Anyway, I've pulled it together and gotten out my sims game long enough to get some serious updates done. So expect new episodes coming soon. :D And if you're wondering what that counter in the side bar is counting down to, it's - naaawwwww.... I'm not going to tell you that yet :D :D :D

The Lonely (Genetics Challenge)

Listen to this song while you read this installment.

"You know that I love you, right?" Nick whispered in my ear as we lay in bed one night.

"And I love you." I replied.

He took a deep breath in and out. "Mint, you gave me another chance at life. Three beautiful children."

"Of course, but why are you saying this?"

"Mint, I love you. But please be happy. After I'm gone."

"Don't talk about that. Not here. Not now."

"If I don't say it I'll never say it!" He said, almost angrily. Then broke down into a fit of coughing. I regretted my words almost immediately.

"Don't worry, honey, we'll find a cure. Soon."

"It'll be too late." He swallowed. "I'm too old. I..." his voice broke, "can't even count on waking up in the morning."

"It's okay. I love you." I put my arms around him. It would be okay, wouldn't it?

"Mint, tell the children that I love them. Please. When I'm gone. Tell them about me...if they don't remember."

"I will." Tears were tracing paths down my cheeks. "I don't want you to go."

"I remember when we first met." He said. "You came up to me at the gym...and you didn't stop talking until we were best friends." He paused, "You remember that?"

"Yea. I remember. I remember everything."

"You hated kids. You wouldn't go near Juniper for weeks."

"But I came around."

"Yea, you came around, and now she's ... a beautiful young woman." He paused again, "You guys 'll be fine without me." A gasp escaped him. Then a tear. "I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you, too. I love you."

"I love you."

-------------------------------------------------------

Dancing slowly in an empty room
can the lonely take the place of you
I sing myself a quite lullaby
let you go and let the lonely in
to take my heart again?

Nothing. I felt nothing. Nick, my husband, was gone. I sat at the kitchen table. All of this was his. He had lived here. Loved here. Died here. I needed to leave; to get away.

I ran out of the room, senseless. Knocking things over. I didn't bother to look back. It didn't matter anyway. I ran. and ran. and ran. There was no where I could go to escape. It followed me. The loneliness.

I didn't sleep, I didn't eat. I couldn't talk to anyone. The pain was too much. No one would ever be equal. No one would ever measure up to the kindness and caring that was Nick. No one.

My daughters took me to therapy. I slowly got better. But the loneliness, the longing, it was always there. In the back of my mind. Sometimes I felt it more acutely than others. But when those times came, Juniper or Jade, or even Forest, were there to support me. Nick was the one who'd blessed me. Not the other way around. I had three beautiful children, and it was all because I him. They helped to heal my broken heart.

[Rip Nick Knack, you will be missed]

"I love you, Daddy."

I'm going to Roma!!

I'M OFFICIALLY GOING TO ROME NEXT SPRING!!! AHHHHHH

ASKJLHDSJKALHDAGLSHSD

I am so thankful that this amazing, once in a lifetime opportunity came around at a time like this. The trip will be very expensive, but I'll get the chance to play (violin) in some of Rome's famous...or not so famous concert halls. FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK! Asdkajshdsal! This is amazing. I never thought this could actually happen.

That's right bitches. City of amazingness, here I come. :D :D

Genetics Challenge Episode 5

Wow, I got distracted by the internet today. O.o Why must The Oatmeal be so hilarious? Anyway, It appears that Nick is still pushin' on through. Thus, you shall not require the tissues just yet. (Yea, I let the cat outta the box. The sad event you need to prepare for is Nick's death. It also helps to listen to really depressing music.)

Anyway, I got a bit carried away there. Let's begin Episode 5.

Genetics Challenge Episode 4

So, it turns out that you will not be needing that box of tissues after all... namely because a certain sim did not die today. So I guess that's one thing to be happy about. Or sad, if your me and have been planning a dramatic event for a while now. Anyway, a bunch of good things did happen this episode, so please, read on.

Remember that really important thing which Jade really needed to do? Turns out it was a vist to the salon to get some hair dye. Why do you have to be the heir just because of your hair color. Why couldn't it be...somebody else?

It really wasn't destined to go as planned. 

For one thing, she got the wrong color dye... Juniper was pretty upset by it, though. Prom was coming up later that week, and Eloy still hadn't asked her.

Daisy had another batch of kittens. I don't even know how many litters that is now. She's almost to elder, too. Anyway...I've completely forgotten their names at the moment. I'll remember them next chapter. 

Juniper decided to make herself a midnight snack after that mishap in the shower. She deserves something special, anyway, for being like a mother to Forest. You'll find out more about that in just a second.

Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure Nick's cane is stuck to his hand for good. That, or he just likes spanking himself. Who knows, he's probably going crazy in his old age anyway. 

Remember how I said no one gave a shit about forest. Yea, well this is the second time I've found him on the floor like this. The entire family, upon realizing that Jade was the heir, decided that Forest could do whatever the hell he wanted. But they weren't going to give a damn either way. He didn't learn any skills, they didn't even remember to feed him. It's scary, the kind of neglect thats been going on.... I've definitely got nothing to do with it. 

Yup, it's stuck to his hand, all right. "Oh, hand on a second. Let me just force feed myself steel llama."

Juniper's boy toy came over almost everyday, and they look pretty happy together so I'm not going to do anything to mess this up.

And it seems Eloy's got a bit of a girly streak in him. I discovered him like this around one in the morning after everyone else had gone to bed. Just sittin thar on the couch...minding his own business....

Someone finally fed Forest...

Just in time for his birthday. I dunno, there's something about this kid that just makes me want to smack him. I blame my hate of little kids on the sims!

And this has got to be the dirtiest toilet I have ever seen. God, how do they live with this astrocity?! It's too bad they're too poor to hire a maid, because even though Nick has the neat trait, no one ever bothers to do any cleaning until things like this turn up.

Yay! Daisy had another litter.

AND....THIS IS IT, FOLKS! The purrfect genetics challenge is officially into Generation two!!! Generation one is complete! Wow, I've been able to stick with this a lot longer than I thought.And after taking a second look at this picture, little Chiquita looks rather terrifying. What have I gotten myself into? (Yes, I named her Chiquita. :D )

Mint, after becoming estranged from both her children during their infancy, no seeks out some bonding time with Jade.

Yup, Jade is definitely psychopath material.

Then again, so is Forest. It's his own fault, not mine, I swear!

And that is where I'll leave you. With a picture of a mound of dirt. Just kidding, this will one day become a money tree, and the bane of existence for people like the Lemon-Limes, who spent all their money too soon. It looks like this gardening thing will actually spawn some legit money. I couldn't of called that one.

I apologize for the shortness of this chapter, and the lateness, too. It was late afternoon before I realized that I had another chapter to do. (This is why I'm bad at legacies.) And I really didn't have the patience for playing sims today. But I promise, tomorrow's going to be a lot more interesting (because, hopefully, Nick will kick the bucket.) Oh god, I'm horrible. :D
