Statistically, 2011-2012 seemed a little quieter than 2009-2010 but I really enjoyed this round anyway!
Births: 3 (Hope Collins, Jack Benton, Charlie Benton)
Deaths: 1 (Brandon Kirby)
Engagements: 2 (James and Madelyn Novak, Wade Gottlieb and Amelia Moretti)
Marriages: 1 (James and Madelyn Novak)
Break-ups: 1 (Abhijeet Turner and Asha Royce)
Graduations: 3 (Max Nihill, Wade Gottlieb, Zaria Royce)
New residents: 1 (Susannah Carmody)
Total population: 88 (40 male, 48 female)
Babies: 3
Toddlers: 7
Children: 14
Teens: 6
Adults (including Young Adults): 46
Elders: 12
I ummed and aahed over whether to include Susannah as a birth or a new resident. I decided on new resident in the end because it wasn't really a birth, as she was already a year old. This round's other adoption, Jack Benton, was included as a birth because he was a newborn.

Round 20: Spring 2012
Jace Novak is 55, Magdalena is 48, Lia is 15, Maia is 10 and Tessa is 3.
(Ione Romilly is 16)
Narrated by Lia Novak
It's no wonder I still haven't had my first kiss. Every time I look in the mirror, there's another pimple on my face. I put cream on them but in the mean time, I have to walk around with a face full of zits.

2nd Ave, 11 A.M.
Narrated by Ione Romilly
For my sixteenth birthday, my parents gave me the best gift ever - a brand new bedroom. I was sharing with Finn, which kind of sucked and now I have some privacy. It's separated from the main house by a small walkway, so it's very quiet too.Tuesday, 22 September 2009
The Nihill-Novak wedding
Spring 2012 birthdays
This spring marks the first birthday of Anna and Emil's daughter, Hope. Now there's a 1 year-old and a 2 year-old in the house, so the Collins-Moretti house is nothing if not noisy!Monday, 21 September 2009

Lately at night, I go out after everyone's asleep and look at the stars with Dad's telescope instead. I don't understand everything I'm seeing like he does, but it has some sort of calming effect on me anyway. It's either this or lay in bed wide awake, worrying about Caleb and Jesse. I'm not in love with Caleb any more but there's something there, I know. Maybe it's guilt, maybe it's because we have Nicky or maybe I just miss him. Jesse's getting impatient with me, I can tell. I need to figure all this out before we get serious.Sunday, 20 September 2009

Owen recently won a pretty substantial prize in the lottery - $60,000! We already have a nice little nest egg saved up though, so we decided to spend this cash. The first thing we did is build me a little office at my salon. It's nice to have a place to do the books while I'm there, rather than bringing it home with me.Saturday, 19 September 2009

Evan, Amelia and Jesse are still rooming together, though there is now a little more tension than there was in the past. After Abigail's affair with Jesse, Amelia was ready to turf him out. Evan is too soft-hearted and wouldn't allow it - it's Abigail he feels they should be angry with, not Jesse. So the boys eat breakfast together...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!

Madelyn and I have been together for almost 15 years now. We never got around to getting married and have been pretty happy without it but lately, I've been feeling that marrying Madelyn is something I really need to do. I guess ever since Naomi and Owen got married, something has been stirring in me.

Dad has been thinking of buying a restaurant and he's fallen in love with one he took Mum to last year. It's called The Claudette. I don't know much about fancy restaurants but I hope Dad gets rid of all the staff when he buys it. It's terrible service, we were waiting forever for a table.Thursday, 10 September 2009
