DOARS- Week 6, Day 2- Chillaxin' With Ma Boo


Dear Diary,

I'm determined to really turn over a new leaf. I can say that I'm not going to freak out as much as I want, but if I don't back it up by actions then you really have no reason to believe me, right?

So today I woke up and did not worry about my son, the aliens, or the gnomes.

I also did not worry about my daughter who was mumbling something about her teeth not being white enough.

I did not worry about how my son was up earlier than usual and that it kind of looked like he hadn't been asleep that night.

I did not worry about the laundry that I had just put into the washer and whether or not this would be the load.

I did not worry about the second mysterious package that was sent to my son, and I especially didn't worry that it was from one of our new neighbors, Echo W.

I did not worry about the strange smell coming from my son's bedroom, nor the fact that he was testing the potions he was making on himself.

I did not worry about Raquel's new interest in astronomy.

I did not worry about the trash compacter possibly electrocuting me, or Cycl0n3 slipping in the puddle he was mopping up and breaking his neck.

I did not worry about the school bus that swerved to and fro as it pulled away. I did not worry about the stop sign that it ran over.

I did not worry about the bills that seemed much higher than the last bills I got.

I did not worry about the lack of a gnome in my laundry, nor what that might mean in the grand scheme of things.

I did not worry about drowning in the hot tub.

I did not worry when Cycl0n3 told me that he wanted to help Hector and I out with this alien thing we were working on. I did not worry about where he got his information, nor about how he was planning to help us out.

I did not worry about him choking on the waffles that he practically inhaled.

I did not worry about our new female neighbors admiring him too much.

I did not worry about the slew of odd seeds that he brought home after I went to work.

I did not worry about becoming a MVP, and I did not worry about fulfilling my growing responsibilities at home and work.

I did not worry about my daughter not coming home right after school, nor about how she had some meeting at the grocery store that she refused to go into detail about.

I did not worry about my son's homework.

I did not worry that the dishes wouldn't be properly washed since a child would wash them instead of myself.

I did not worry about the fact that my son was doing his sister's homework for her.

I did not worry about my son becoming a teenager and what that might mean for the gnome/alien happenings. I did not worry about that wandering look in his eye.

I did not worry about Cycl0n3's plan to find out exactly which planet the Alien war was taking place on, and how he might support the gnomes. I did not worry that once again he knew more about what was going on than I did.



... and I really did not worry about whether or not Cycl0n3 and I were spending enough time together.

I'm completely relaxed and calm,

Lynn Sw0rd
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"You are not to interfere with the Sw0rd's, do you understand?"


 Lita, Isa, and Anya all nodded and bowed in return. Echo did not.
"Can't you see how dangerous it is to bring them into our plans? They should be taken out of the picture before they mess everything up-"

"Silence! Do not question what you don't need to understand! You are wasting your time fighting the wrong enemy! If any harm comes to the Sw0rd family from any side of this war, we will hold you responsible. All of you."
~~~~~~~

Fun Fact, I checked out the relationships with the simselves and Lita and EchoWeaver hate each other... a lot. Everyone else gets along fine, though!

And a not so fun fact- somehow Sky has disappeared from my game... and I'm pretty sure it's because she went back to the netherworld. :( So there goes all my plans of incorporating her into this generation. I'm sure there's a way to get her back, but I'm not sure how. Any ideas? I couldn't find her grave anywhere, so if it relies on finding that, then it won't work... I'm kind of thinking about putting their family in the neighborhood again and saving a copy of her in CAS and then re-adding her to the Samples, but I don't know. What do you guys think?

  1. I'm sending packages to Hector?? Isn't he a little young for me? Ha!

    So did the army of gnomes come out of Lynn's laundry, or has the entire gnome faction of sims been doing crazy amounts of laundry?

    Sky is gone??? Well, one option would be for me to upload her as a teen, which she is right now, and you could put her back in the game and link up all the family relationships again. So bizarre! I didn't think a townie playable ghost would autonomously go back to the Netherworld!

    1. Lol! I think your sim is interested in anyone from the Sw0rd family... lol. But, you're actually sending the presents to Cycl0n3. The story in my head fits better if they're to Hector, though.

      I duplicated the hood so that I could change over to the simself house and check things out, while I was there I went ahead and made a gnome army, because... well, just because really. I love gnome armies. :D ... and I guess it kind of fit with the plot...

      If you want to upload her as a teen, feel free! I would gladly put her back in the game. I'm still not sure what happened honestly, because if she went back to the netherworld she should have a gravestone somewhere, but she doesn't, and Charles is still running around and doing just fine, so I really can't figure it out. Sky disappeared the day after Hector met her (so like two days after I added them?), because Hector met her at school and they started chatting and then I got an opportunity to befriend her (schoolyard chums? or something like that) but the next day it said the opportunity was deleted because one of the sims was no longer available. I didn't think anything of it, because she was a ghost and I thought maybe that had something to do with it. Silly me should have checked his relationships, but I didn't. If I had I would've seen that she was in fact missing from his panel. Bleh. Oh well! But, I would like to have her in my game, because I still want to see if she and Hector might like each other. Oh, huh, I probably should ask you about that first. Oops! If Hector and Sky have chemistry together, is it okay if they get together?

    2. Yeah, I could totally see Susan sending LOTS of presents to Cycl0n3...

    3. Oh hey! I'm kind of slow, but I just realized that the Samples are related to the Sw0rds, duh! I feel silly now! I think I forgot because the game doesn't link them as related, but (lol!) the kids at my house are the triplets aunt and uncle, right? So that would be weird if there was any romances there... lol. Sorry! I'll try to remember things like that in the future! That's so embarrassing....

    4. Bwah! They're relatives from another dimension. I figured that didn't count.

      I am having serious game issues with the Samples right now, so I haven't exported teen Sky yet :-p.

      And yeah, DragonWife, now that I know it was my simself sending gifts to Cyclone, it all makes sense :) :).

    5. Or to be more specific, I think it would be awesome if Hector and Sky got together. I don't know what Hector's other traits are, so I'm not sure if they'll hit it of. Sky is Virtuoso, Slob, Lucky, and Brave.

    6. Yeah they don't share any traits... hmm... but still, I think that even though it's another dimension that has them related it's still a little weird. I mean, I really was all for the idea, but...
      The Samples were home the other day (finally!) and Raquel went to visit them and as soon as I saw her and Charles together I was really happy because they're long lost siblings! It was so sweet, and then a moment later I realized that his kids were their nephews and niece, and as soon as that happened I just couldn't go back and forget that they were related... lol. As far as Sky goes, I have her as a kid (in another hood) so I can just age her up and add her teen trait.
      I'm sorry your having game issues with the Samples! I hope you can work it out soon, cos those are a major pain!

    7. Erm, now that you put it that way, I guess I agree :-p.

      I kind of think that Hector and Forest ought to be best buds :).

      Delete
    8. They are actually! Hector keeps wanting to invite him over for a game of hopscotch- I just haven't gotten around to it yet. :D
      I'm glad that the Samples are becoming more a part of the Sw0rd's life.

  2. It's nice that Lynn has decided to relax. Everyone seems to know more than her, though. Such a mystery!
