Worst break ever...

[strangetomato]

So, despite being completely unfocused on writing lately, I've found some renewed interest in my sims. I had some time to play the game today (as all of my silly posts attest) and now I'm very excited to move forward with the story, especially where Frances is concerned.

Sorry to spoil so much here, but I'm just so excited for him.

This is, indeed, a romantic moment for Frances (and double spoiler on the new hairdo, but you surely saw that coming). The cafeteria worker is a peeping tom. *snort* How many times will I crack up at that framing hands animation? Surely, a billion times.



I'm still a little out of it where writing is concerned, but I'm thinking that I might be able to get an update moving sometime near the end of the week. I know I must seem a bit crazy lately, but thanks for putting up with me. I really appreciate all of you being there for me, even if it's just the impersonal internet. I feel lucky to have this right now.

Oh God, those idle art hands come up at the silliest times, don't they? Glad to see you're getting back to your story. Haha, worst break ever indeed! I can't wait to see what's in store for Frances. :D

Yes, yes they do. :P I just love it. (Seriously, that cafeteria guy was standing there staring during the whole interaction, and then started doing art hands at them. It was super creepy.)

I know. I suck at this break thing. Even though I'm a bit unfocused right now, it's hard to stop thinking about the story for very long. I'm really absorbed with it. It's probably unhealthy. :P

Oh, I think you'll like where Frances is heading. He's really coming into himself. To say I'm excited about it is an understatement. *loves Frances*

It's all Johnny and Ripp's fault; sitting on your shoulders and whispering in your ears in their angel and devil outfits!

I'm so glad your Frances will finally be comfortable with himself! You know I'm with you on the Frances love there. He's way too cute, especially when he's happy and smiling. :D

Yes, they're always there. On my shoulders. :P

Frances is easily one of my all-time favourite sim characters. He's so cute, even though he's sort of gnarly looking (which just adds to the making him relatable). I think you'll be happy to see where he goes next.

Lately I've had a Maxis Curious screaming in my ear to get my update out too. He's getting really irritating!

Before your story I never knew what to do with the poor guy. I'd usually just have somebody move in with him since he had such a nice house, give him a makeover (that was definitely the first thing I always did, don't know why) and then I would just always leave him uncontrollable and he would just do what he wanted and I never needed to take care of him at all- It was rather boring. But now, you have made me grow to love him. He's definitely one of my favorite maxis sims too.

I'll be happy? Does that mean me in particular or everyone? You keep emphasizing it, so I'm getting curious. ;)

Well, I'm happy to have played some part in awakening you to the potential of Frances. He's just great, isn't he?

It's not so much you in particular (if I get what you're implying correctly), but I think you'll be pleased with the outcome.

Well as long as dear, sweet Frances is happy, then I'm happy!

Oh, he's happy. :) No worries there.
