You say it's your birthday, Summer 2020

Yay, it's birthday time! And it's Summer birthdays, which are always the best because they're the biggest! I've been so excited to get to these this year, so let's get started!

In about 6 months time, Amelia Gottlieb will have another one of these...

Trigger

Round 18: Days 86-90

Narrated by Drusilla Clarke

Ever since her divorce, Linnea has been talking about getting married again. You'd think divorce would make her a little nervous about another marriage but she's online every day, looking for someone new.

Search and destroy

Round 17: Days 81-85

Narrated by Drusilla Clarke

I've had just about enough of this. Having Debbie and Linnea fighting all the time is so damaging for Cordy and Luc. I have to try something to help them for the sake of my grandchildren. I thought being in a new house would give us all a fresh start but I don't think much has changed.

The importance of being idle

Round 16: Days 76-80

Narrated by Linnea Lane

I went into labour in our teeny tiny bathroom on Saturday morning. Everybody was home but only Debbie was able to squeeze in to coach me through birth.

Round 16: Days 76-80

Narrated by Trent Kirby (this is a longer one that usual)

So I guess what most people do once they've graduated college is look for a job. I did that (I'm on the local soccer team) but what I was really looking forward to was hitting the bars. I brought Emil and my cousin Samson along for the ride.

Devil in the water

Round 15: Days 71-75

Linnea and I have been slightly at odds lately. We're not fighting or anything but basically, I'm ready for a child and she's not quite there. That's kind of what Icarus here was about. Linnea felt the best way to prepare for parenthood was to test ourselves on a parrot first. I think we should just jump in. I don't think there's anything that can quite prepare you for parenthood. Nothing's really comparable to an actual baby.

Nuthin's ever gone be the same again



Narrated by Linnea Lane

Debbie and I have finally graduated from Suffolk and have moved in with my parents. It's kind of a drag, so we take advantage of any privacy we can get. There was no bed for us when we moved in, so the closet had to do!

I spent most of the first few weeks at home alone though, so I filled my time with lots of jogging and tai chi. Everyone else was working but I just couldn't find anything interesting.

I did eventually decide I wanted to entertain people though and found a job as a mime! I've worked my way up to ventriloquist now - my career is so much fun!
Getting a good job was exciting but even more exciting was my proposal to Debbie.

She was thrilled, of course. We started planning right away.
Mum started working on her mother of the bride speech right away. Considering I didn't think marriage was a big deal to her or Dad, I was kind of shocked she was so enthusiastic about the whole wedding thing. I guess the most shocking this is that we're not having speeches or toasts anyway. I hope Mum won't be too disappointed.

Lucky Debbie had the wedding to focus on at home because she was seriously bored at work. She was helping out with experiments at the lab and somehow didn't find it challenging to have to choose between red and blue pieces of liquorice.

The night before the wedding, I took Debbie and Mum on a jog to make sure we all slept really soundly that night. Dad probably should have come too - he's porking up a bit lately!

At last, it was time for our big day!

When we started walking over to the chapel, we were very happy with our choice of venue. Not only was it the cheapest but it was freezing cold outside - the chapel is heated!

Dad was first inside the chapel. We have become pretty close of late, after me feeling quite neglected by him, pre-college.

Ah! We were finally married! We had quite a large guest list and not all of them could even fit into the chapel! Athena did come, but she was late and missed the ceremony. Not going to mention exactly what I think of that, but suffice to say, I was not impressed.

I sent Dad out for a weather test - if it warmed up a bit, we were all going to go outside and socialise. But no, it was still cold and there was a thunderstorm brewing. That's good luck, right? Gah, don't tell me otherwise!

So the manager of the chapel let us have our mini-reception inside, as long as we didn't make a mess. I was a little worried that Leo and Filippo were going to break something with their kicky bag but they promised to be careful!

Oh, yeah...this girl. I still have no idea who she was but she seemed to know Leo quite well. Debbie was about to go over and ask her to leave when she told us she could get us a discount on our rent. Well...nice strategy. We couldn't exactly ask her to leave after that!

So instead, Debbie and I just sat at the back of the chapel, watched our guests and chilled out for a bit. It had been a long day, we were both in heels and we'd inexplicably decided go to the chapel on foot, so we had a lengthy walk ahead of us.

Random pic:
Galen actually visits Drusilla all the time but I thought it was a bit suspicious that he happened to visit while Debbie was the only one around one day! He's probably trying for a conversion (which can't happen if you're wondering - all my gay Sims are very, very gay)!

Notes:
  • I've been taking family portraits of each household at the beginning of each round, so I thought I'd use them at the beginning of each update. I might turn them into paintings or photos for the game if I'm feeling spectacularly unlazy one day.
  • Linnea's the only Sim I've had roll a specific want to woohoo in the closet.
  • I considered having less traditional wedding gowns for these two but succumbed to the princess dresses in the end. I'm glad I did, because the poufy dresses are always fun.
  • Neither of these two have the want to adopt a child yet but it will be forced on them sooner or later - I never let my Sims remain childless! I might consider mixing their genes and artificially inseminating one of them to get a biological baby too. I'm curious what kind of child they'd make.

Half the world away

Round 13: University (Athena, Debbie and Linnea)

Our junior year started out normally enough. Debbie was being Debbie and spent a lot of time hidden away in the library.

Outta mind (outta sight)

Round 12: College (Filippo, Athena, Linnea and Debbie)


Filippo is in his junior year (and yes, this is a different dorm than one he was living in last time) and the girls are just starting their freshman year.

Since she'd enrolled at Suffolk, Filippo had started to see Athena in a slightly different light. He was still very shy though, so it took him a long time to make a move on her.

I only want you

Round 12: College (Ben and Caterina)
Last update/next update

Warning: partial nudity

Ben's girlfriend, Caterina, recently cheated on him with his brother Charlton. Ben feels angry and betrayed but they are still living together, because their cruel mistress doesn't want to have to redecorate this house next time she moves some college kids into it.

Ben was still furious at Caterina for her indiscretions with his brother. He refused to sleep in the same bed as her. If Ben happened to go to bed first and Caterina tried to crawl in next to him, he went downstairs.
