Since Abhijeet died, I've been on a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. I barely reacted at all when they announced it at school - in shock, I guess. After that, whenever I wasn't at school, I was moping around in my room.Friday, 18 September 2009
Where I fall
Narrated by Kit Royce
Leo and I are beginning to regret buying that drum kit for Asha. We were so pleased when she started talking about university at such a young age but since she got into drumming, she seems to have lost all interest in the idea.
She's still doing her schoolwork but she's constantly saying that once she graduates, it's over for her and studying. Leo has always regretted not finishing college, so he's very concerned.
Leo even brought it up when we had Zaria over for dinner. Asha was not happy. I know Leo is concerned and I am too, but I wish he'd let up a little bit.
Thankfully, we were able to steer the conversation around to talking about Zaria's new job. She's doing reception work at a law firm right now. It's not what she wants to do but she's enjoying it so far.
Asha's boyfriend Abhijeet came over the next morning to take her out for the day. I'd never met him before but I was so impressed! He's very charming and I can see why she likes him!
I'm sure there are plenty of details she leaves out but Asha does tell me about their dates. This particular date seemed to be going as normal.
Until Abhijeet's eye started to wander.
When they got back to our house, Asha tried to talk to him about the other girl and he turned on her. He said he could speak to whoever he wanted, whenever he wanted and he ended things with Asha right there.
The poor kid was so upset. There wasn't much I could say to console her.
I decided I'd leave the talking to later and just comfort her as best I could until she was ready to have a chat with me about it.
It was a few days before we finally discussed it but I think Asha felt a bit better after that. I told her about some of the jerks I dated before I met Leo.
We both had a laugh over the stupid gift Abhijeet left outside our house as a way of apology. What is a 15 year-old girl supposed to do with this?!?
Anyway, just as soon as we solved one of Asha's boy problems, she's got herself into another one.
She hasn't admitted it, probably because she knows I'd tell Leo, but I think she likes Luc now, one of Zaria's friends from college. She talks about him constantly when she's at home and she is enraptured every time Zaria mentions his name.
I'm really going to have to monitor this situation closely. Luc is only four years older than Asha but at this age, that's a huge difference.
I know they've become friends but I hope it stays like that for at least a couple of years!Random pic:
Abhijeet finally gets to dump someone instead of them dumping him and the skunk was not happy. Abhijeet cannot catch a break in my hood!Notes:
- I had made Asha selectable while she was at Zaria's grad party and hadn't realised that this would mean that she'd eventually age to young adult. :\ I aged her back down but I guess in her mind, she's already been to college and she lost the want. I wasn't particularly keen on her going to college anyway, thankfully, so I don't mind too much.
- Luc and Asha have been BFFs for a while, though I don't remember exactly how that happened! So far, there has been no flirting from either of them but I'm controlling Asha pretty strictly when Luc is around. I told a lie yesterday - they actually have the second-highest chemistry I've seen in game so far, not the third. They'd definitely be three bolts and the exact score is 176 raw and 281 total. Still 20 points off Emil and Anna's 301 total but still pretty impressive!

Caffeine in the morning sun
Narrated by Asha Royce
I've been complaining about the fact that our new house doesn't have a pool, so I have no place to exercise any more. Dad suggested that seeing I'm old enough to head out by myself now that I should try out the gym.Monday, 29 June 2009

Smothered in hugs
Narrated by Leo Royce
Kit has used up all of the maternity leave she was entitled to after having Asha, so she's back to work soon and we'll have to hire the nanny again. Things are still pretty tight for us financially and we can't really afford a nanny but we definitely can't afford to live on just my income.Thursday, 14 May 2009

Definitive breaks
Round 15: Days 71-75
Narrated by Kit Royce
Leo was wonderful enough to organise our whole wedding on his own. Apart from my dress, of course. That was a surprise. It would be bad luck any other way, and we don't need any more of that!Tuesday, 31 March 2009
Some day
Round 14: Days 66-70
Despite what my sister seems to think, my job in the military is not that great. Sure, it's let Kit and I get our own place but it's a tiny place and after paying our deposit, we had very little left over.

Tuff luff
Round 13: University (Magdalena, Ottilie and Leo)
My best friend Araminta decided to skip college and look for a job instead, so I've arrived at Moretti Hall alone for my freshman year. I got down to work straight away, because I knew I'd end up getting distracted by social activities if I waited.Wednesday, 11 February 2009
Who takes who home?
Ottilie was not too impressed with the offerings at Moretti Hall, the new dorm at Suffolk University. She thought Lucian Bryant was hideous.Monday, 9 February 2009

Street lites
Round 11: Days 51-55
After they'd moved all their furniture in exactly as they wanted it, none of them wanted to do anything but relax. Poor Elias was due at work in 3 hours but he planned on taking advantage of his free time until then.Friday, 9 January 2009
Western homes
Round 10: Days 46-50
Elias is thrilled with how well his business is doing. The shop is at Level 3 now and gets a good mix of regular customers and newcomers every day.
Nathalie is happy for her husband but wishes he was home a little bit more. She really has her hands full with Ottilie and Leo.
They're both lovely, sweet kids, really.
But when they start tormenting each other, Nathalie feels like she could go crazy with all the giggling, squealing and screaming.
It's a pretty small apartment and that compounds the problem. The four of them can't even eat dinner at the same table at the same time. They're living on top of each other.
The night Nathalie finds a strange, mohawked man smustling in her daughter's bedroom is the last straw. They've saved up over $100,000, more than enough for their own house. Nathalie doesn't want to stay at the apartment complex for any longer.Notes:
- I didn't realise the Drapers had saved up so much money or that Elias's business was so profitable! I'm going to look around for a nice, affordable, modernish house to put downtown for them and they'll move in next round.
- Elias is also going to hire a manager for his shop. He'll still need to go down there to check everything is running smoothly but at least it won't be so often.
