2083, postcards from the edge, and December extras...

All work and no play for me these past couple weeks. But I do happen to have some funny gems saved up in my screenshots folder, so I thought I'd appease you all with some extras, outtakes, and updates from our supporting cast! ;)

And because you know you can never have too many pictures of angry Vicky! lol!

I didn't get a chance to work it into any stories this season, but Blossom and George were also married this fall. (recap: Blossom is the ex-girlfriend of Micah Buchanan, and George is the ex-boyfriend of both Charlotte Gallagher, and Jodie Larson. They've been dating a few years now, living in Lakeside Heights.) They rented out Deppiesse's Lakefront Bistro for the evening, and held the reception there as well.

And here it strikes me that these two can't even manage to take their wedding day seriously, lol!

With their wedding party, and "foster siblings," Vicky and Blair.

Blair and Amy have been dating about nine months now, and are still pretty crazy about each other. Not too bad for a young couple who hooked themselves up in a photo book at junior prom! ;)

Awww...

And during the reception, Vicky played some pool with this smarmy (yet dangerously smoking!) dude.

This one is Emmy's boyfriend Cyrus, by the way. The one she talked about here.

So yes, rather pretty. But not Vicky's type. Or at least, not the kind of guy you want to give up your v-card to, lol!

So angry... Maybe getting the poor girl laid would help? Just not with Cyrus. We'll have to find her somebody nicer, and younger, and maybe who hasn't slept with the whole town?

Next up, a quiet winter dinner with the Phoenix family. Sophie and Micah exhibit their undying affections for each other after 35 happy years. Hayden and Piper are just trying to eat their dinner.

Also, kitchen makeover!!! I might have shown you this already, but I can't remember. Back from when I was going crazy on all my kitchens with BuggyBooz stuff. This kitchen is also part Shoukeir stuff. It's all I need, people, I'm telling you! I never need to look at another CC site in my life! *heart-farts* lol!

Hayden and Piper, sneaking off for a quiet moment.

Piper is hardcore, for a little lady, lol!

And this was one of many photos I took of Bella and her family. You know how you get all these ideas in your head, with the best intentions? Well, I was going to make some posters with them to place around my neighborhood, but then I got too busy. I shared some of the pictures in my babble thread already, but here was one more I liked that I don't think made it out of my folder.

It's likely I'll never get around to doing those posters, with as much other work as I have to do. We'll leave the CC poster-making efforts up to other Simmers, I suppose.

Drew taking the garbage out, in his underwear, and this lady likes the view!

Approve!

And LOL, I just love the look of shock on his face! What do you expect, Drew, when you bend over outside in your little boxer-briefs like that? ;)

Drew finally released his first book of poetry this season. It got rave reviews, but such a skimpy paycheck.

Realistic though. It is poetry, after all. Nobody makes money in poetry!

And now - in which my Sims will read my mind.

We all know that Sim-Amelia couldn't really be mad at him for not telling her about the poem he published. But for some reason, as the rest of his family toasted him, she refused to participate, lol!

In fact, she got straight up from the table! Yes, folks, she was that mad, lol!

Oh, but he's just too cute to be mad at for very long.

An engagement photo at his uncle's house.

A quiet Sunday morning at home.

Bookish and comfy.

And now, moving over to Corbin's place. It seemed fitting that he would have a couple of toys there, for when they visit. And she was so excited to see this boat, lol!

Boat! She neeeeeds it!

She was a very happy baby.

True event - Justin drives all the way out to Lake City to play ding-dong-ditch, at 2:00 a.m., at Corbin's apartment. Best friends, people! lol!

Gratuitous shirtless Corbin spam for Kiri! :D

While I was trying to shoot Amelia and Drew's train station scene, Amelia's mom showed up. She's like, "Oh hey, guys. Wanna get some lunch? Do some shopping? Go see a movie or something?"

Sorry, Claire. No. We're working here.

ModifyNeighborhoodTerrain FAIL! LOL!

But it's okay, I worked it out. Now Bluewater Township is happily flat! :D

I hadn't played Violet's bookstore in a while, but I had fun giving it a little refresh, and setting up this little table of books for sale.

The poor, adorable Watts kids.

In which my Sims read my mind, part 2: I had this story completely written before I sent Amelia into Leila's store to shoot the pictures for it. But Sim-Amelia read my mind, and Leila was indeed the first person to hear about her pregnancy.

Oddly, they also talked about divorce! I found that strange though because usually you don't get a divorce conversation unless one of the Sims has been divorced, or knows someone who has. Sim Leila obviously has no idea she's about to get divorced, and Sim Amelia doesn't know anyone personally who's been divorced either, so I found this speech bubble fascinating.

And finally, shall we demonstrate what poor Matt had to compete against?

Leila begs, "Can I call him now?"

"Or how about now?"

"Now?"

"Please? Just a date? Just a couple hours?"

"Pretty, pretty, please? Can I call him now?"

And we know what she wants to do with him too! ;)

"Please!" she begs. "Can I call him yet!?!"

Whoa, girl! Let's slow down a bit? At least she also realizes that this is a bad idea?

Run for the hills, Corbin! She's got an ovary with your name on it!

And is it just me, or does she always look like she's up to no good? Always that sketchy sideways glance, and smile full of trouble. See? She's thinking dirty thoughts, you just know it! ;)

More LH stories will be coming up in a few weeks! I may try to work in some more spammy stuff in between now and then though.

Be well everyone! :)
