Days 2-3


Hey, hey, it's me Adam! Lookin' fly on my way to the first day of work! Yeah right, this suit they gave me is way too small for me. I mean, you can't even see my muscles. How am I supposed to get chicks at work to take notice? Oh well, guess I'll have to rely on my brains instead, this suit makes me look like a chump, seriously. Anyway, off to work as a budding architect, I'm so excited, this is my dream!
I could not believe this, my first chance card, all right! I'm supposed to get 80% right, so we will see, that was the deal anyway in my rewards...
Yes! First one didn't come out too bad, did it? Turns out, this guy I went to college with was... well, you'll see him a little later on.
This is what my dad did the entire time I was at work today, can you believe it? Talk about stress, tension headache! I think he was looking up sports or something, he gets bored being at home alone until he goes to work. Didn't I tell you? He has a part time job as a fish chummer, sounds pretty nasty to me but he's really liking it so far. He said it gets him out of the house or something, whatever. Shoveling fish guts is not my idea of fun, give me draft paper and a pencil any day!
Look at what that photographer lady caught while I was at work! Can you believe this woman? My dad pays her ten bucks an hour to half clean the house, I caught him mopping up puddles that SHE made out of the fish tank again, and she has the nerve to think this about him? And what's with the double bubbles, isn't one bad enough?! All he did was shoo her out of the bathroom so he could pee in private, she is SO out of here when I'm in charge. Lucy something or other, she's really not a great maid, fire her if you guys see her in your neighborhood!
So here is me and Daniel LeTourneau coming home from work. I met him during my college days, hence the school cheer. Gotta love those Gerbits! Okay, corny! Anywho, he's still in school, guess he was behind me, not sure how long he's actually been there but he's really a lot of fun! Anyone who wears a cow suit must be fun, right?
That's me, out of my stuffy suit, could not wait to show off my pecs, even if it was just us guys. Hey, that photographer lady said she likes my muscles, lay off!

Daniel is super cool and playing a game of kicky bag really reminded me of college. Maybe I should have had more fun instead of sticking my nose in a book every night.
Well, maybe not! I do love me some books. I'm only like two points away from maxing out my mechanical skill, I would be stupid not to go for it.

Daniel's still around here somewhere, leave me alone so I can study!

*Okay, bookworm. Why couldn't you bring home a chick from work and get jiggy wit it?*

Cause Daniel is fun and...and...I said leave me alone!

*Ooooo, touchy, touchy! Bookworm!*

ACK! Get out!

*Snickers*
*So, that's what the cow looks like*

"Huh? Who the heck are you? Leave me alone, this water is so awesome and you are so annoying!"

*Excuuuuuse me! Cow*

"Adam told me about you, well I'm not a Morris, so beat it lady!"

*Okay, cow. Hey, are you naykey under those bubbles! Yipes!* (Throws down camera and runs for it)
So after hearing an earful from my photographer about my fugly, rude, naked friends in the hot tub, I went to sleep. I mean jeez, it's not like anyone was out there with him. And the cow suit must be hot, so he probably doesn't wear anything under it.

I was fast asleep when I saw something outside my window. What? I dunno, I went back to sleep. I did hear my dad go outside though, I thought it was weird because it was raining and it was super late but I had to work the next day, so I stayed in bed. What? Just cause my dad is old doesn't mean I'm going to babysit him.
Get this, the next morning before I went to work, he was ranting and raving about seeing the ghost of my mom, can you believe that? How ridiculous. I went to work and told him that it was just some fog from the storm and not to worry. He didn't look like he believed me though, he really must be losing it. Yeah, that's it, losing it. Ghosts are not real, duh.
I'm really liking this photographer lady, she captures all the great stuff I miss while I'm at work. We have a gardener too! I wondered who trimmed all the bushes and everything. What, I thought it could have been the photographer.

*Yeah right, keep dreamin*

What, it's not THAT far fetched. Anyway, her name is Erica Jaya...err, somethin' and I haven't even gotten to meet her yet. I'll probably keep her around, she actually does her job unlike someone else I know in the public service department. *Cough* Maid Lady *Cough, Cough*
Look at this! I totally missed this great moment for my dad! Glad I got a picture of it!

*Say what? Who got it?*

Okay, YOU did, but I got to see it. I'm so proud of my dear old dad, he really has worked hard to provide for his family. Aw man, I just noticed that his life meter is getting pretty full. And hey, what's that little ghosty icon mean? He did NOT see a ghost, I don't believe it!
Man, another chance card? Do I have to get one every day I work? Oh yeah, that's me with some head thingy my dad had that's supposed to make learning faster. I forgot to take it off before I went to work. It was starting to make me feel funny though, maybe I had it on too long?
*Ya think? It's not supposed to be worn all day, Adam*

NOW she tells me! UGH, I'll probably have second degree burns or something now.
Poo, well I guess that could have turned out worse anyway. I heard that sometimes you can get fired by picking the wrong thing on a chance card. That cannot be true.
*Yes it can, I've seen it happen. Mwa ha ha*
How cruel!
*How true*
Back from my second day of work, I'm really diggin' it so far. Daniel came home with me, again! I still can't figure out what he does, I'm not even sure he actually works there. My dad is getting behind again, he doesn't check the mail anymore. I mean, there are bills in here, hello! Ever since he supposedly saw that ghost, he's been scouring the internet for ways to contact the dead. Gimme a break, I'm paying these bills and sticking my nose in a mechanical book.
Wow! This thing really works! I maxed out my mechanical skill, boo yeah! But my head really hurts, so I think I'll take this weird thingy off now.

*Probably a good idea*

Yeah, yeah, you told me so. I'm starved, are you coming upstairs to stare at me eat?

*You know it*

I thought so.
Go away, jeez! Let me enjoy my accomplishment in peace with this sparkly fish dish.

*Puh, Mr. No Fun*

Yeah well, call me crazy but the last time I checked, shy people do not like to be the center of attention. Go find Daniel, he's probably streaking in the hot tub again.

*Cow face? No thanks, had enough of that eyeful, didn't you guys?*

Whatever. Just go away!

*Okay, goodniiiiiight Adaaaaaam*

Goodniiiiight! Jeez, you're so annoying.


Author's Notes:
Nothing too eventful happened over the two days, so sorry if this one is a bit boring!
I saw Allyn's ghost roaming around the yard for the first time, HAD to capture that! Of course, she scared poor Gabe, you wouldn't think they would do that to sims they loved!
Daniel was totally naked in the hot tub and stayed until the next day. He was shocking everyone that would walk by! LOL.
As I showed, Gabe's time is almost up, I think I'm going to avoid the elixer of life and just let him go. :(
I couldn't believe he actually made $100,000! I rarely ever get them to actually earn that much.

Oh man! I can't believe Allyn scared Gabe! Interesting!

100 G's huh? That's crazy! I wonder if I can get a Sim to ear that much! Should be fun times!

This made me LOL Emily! Good stuff!

Gayl on May 25, 2009 4:33 PM said...

Aww, poor Gabe getting scared. I bet he's scouring the internet and Adam doesn't believe him? Come on dude, there are shots to back up his story!

Those chance cards crack me up so much. I avoid them if I ever play a sim that actually works.

Emily this wasn't uneventful. It's funny and light and great!

Utterly captivating and funny, love those facial expressions, the cow and naked tub was absolutely hilarious. Poor Gabe though seeing the ghost of his wife and not being believed, LOL! and then the maid, I never understood why they did that. LOL!

Congrats on 100K personally never accomplished that in the game, yet!

S.B. on May 26, 2009 5:07 AM said...

I really really enjoyed this! It's so much fun and such a great change!

hehe...sort of poetic justice that a woman is haunting Gabe and scares him LOL!

those mascot people creep me out. Now that I know there's nothing on underneath the suit, it's even creepier. thanks so much for THAT visual!

and thanks for doing this!

Emily on May 26, 2009 8:51 AM said...

I know right, Cheryl! I couldn't believe she did that either, how mean!

The only time I've had them earn that much, I was trying for a challenge, this totally surprised me. If I hadn't seen the dollar sign over his head, I would have missed it!

Glad you enjoyed it, must admit I had some fun doing this one!

Emily on May 26, 2009 8:54 AM said...

He he, poor Gabe! Well, that's sort of what he gets, even though he's been good in my game so far! Thank you Gayl! I wasn't sure it was too good, I'm still waiting for those major events like him actually meeting a girl! If he keep going to work, he's just going to have to bring one home. :D

I know! I never played those chance cards either! Actually, Cheryl clued me in on that, it's part of the legacy challenge, I had been ignoring them! :D

I think Adam needs to see a ghosty too, he's quite the skeptic on all the weird things that go on!

Thank you, glad you liked it!

Emily on May 26, 2009 8:56 AM said...

Thanks Cherie! LOL, I didn't know he was naked until after I took that shot, everyone kept walking by the hot tub and getting shocked! :D

Yeah, the maid did that right after Gabe shooed her out of the bathroom. LOL, she probably doesn't like him because I never tip her!

Doing a legacy is fun because it gives a break from all the posing and getting that perfect shot, and you get to experience all the zany stuff that you wouldn't normally use!

Emily on May 26, 2009 8:59 AM said...

Thank you Beth, so glad you liked it! I had fun doing it and it was fast, short and sweet for me. Probably why it was so much fun!

LOL! I never thought of it that way! That is totally fitting, the womanizer haunted and scared by the one he chose to love...:D

Ha ha! No one ever likes the mascots in my game, they always go around insulting everybody. But those two are already friends and get along really well! LOL! Well, he's the one that jumped in the hot tub that way, it just fit that there's nothing underneath the suit!

Oh, you're welcome, nothing like a good break of no pressure! Must remind myself to spend more time with this family!

Hi
i love your stories. i check almost every day to see what is new or if you have posted any new stuff. You son is so cute. i have 3sons of my own and in a few months my oldest is giving me my first grandson.
I love all of your CC. You do such a wonderful job decorating your houses. i was wondering if you could tell me where you got thr couch you used in the first part. it was tan with stiped pillows and the other one is the dining room chairs in this story.

Thank You,
Robin

Emily on May 28, 2009 9:45 AM said...

Hey Robin! I'm so glad you enjoy the stories! Unfortunately I'm on like once a month now updating for each one, time is just not what it used to be! :D
Thank you about my son too, he's so precious, can't help but share some pics of him once in a while. And congrats on the grandbaby! How exciting for you!

The couch is from MTS2, free registration needed-
http://linna.modthesims2.com/download.php?t=252787

You also need a sectional sofa patch as he put in the description, a link is provided there too. There are a LOT of color combos for this couch, first you pick the sofa color and then the pillows. There are also a lot of recolors on MTS2, just search for "annie modular sofa"

The dining chairs are from HolySimoly.com and are some of my favorites to use, I think I over use them actually! I believe they are under the dining category.

Thank you again for reading, hope you continue to enjoy!

I take it Gabe did not earn 100K by chumming fish, LOL!
Enchanting Emily, and fun!
Adam is such a doll! (looks and every other way)
You could put Gabe with the fugliest sim and the child would turn out beautiful. Gabe should start at stud farm. Sorry to hear his time is almost up! (so much for the farm)

It must be fun to just play the game and see how things turn out, have not done that for ages!
Enjoyable update!

Emily on May 29, 2009 2:19 PM said...

LOL Karen! Nope, Gabe earned most of his money being the police captain, although it was his daily pension that got the memory! I think the money the genie gave him counts towards that as well.

Thank you, this has been a lot of fun to undertake and I'm glad I started it!

LOL, I know, right? Gabe has awesome genetics for the giving, can't wait to see if grandchildren come out as well-and I hope I get a girl soon! :D

Yeah, playing is fun, it's nice once in a while for a big distraction!

Thanks for reading again mate, so glad you enjoyed!

I Love Your Legacy By The Way. Gabriel Is Really Nice Looking For An Old Man. Can You Tell Me Where You Got Adams Muscely Skintone.

Thanks

Emily on May 31, 2009 7:12 AM said...

Hi Emma! I'm glad you like this, it's completely for fun, I was just playing the challenge and was not going to turn it into a story but I was inspired by some others I've seen, so thank you!

Adam inherited his father's skintone, it was made by a friend and isn't up to download but I've seen some great ones out there for bodybuilders. You might try looking here: http://www.dlmulsowssim-antics.com/viewforum.php?f=161&sid=d55fcebc4a5c35ba26368511cc0d4ad7

They have great stuff, registration's required but it's free. They have a lot of bodybuilder stuff there as well and some that are linked for the shower, like Adam's.
