For Simgaroop... Helena the cheerleader

I've being meaning to ask you about this for a while, [livejournal.com profile] simgaroop. Is Helena a crazy party animal in your game? Is she really excitable? I ask because she never seems to stop cheering in my game. She'll do something and then she'll cheer immediately afterwards. Like, she'll walk up the stairs, stop, and then cheer. She's seriously high on life (and possible some other substances).

I took some pics. I thought you'd get a laugh out of it.










She's just happy to have entered the kitchen.




Helena: Wooooooooo!!! I totally ATE THAT!




Helena: A phone call for me? W00t!








Helena: I said W00000000000t!!!!




Helena: OMG it's my fridge! So excited!




Some dancing...






...leads to more cheering.






Helena: YESSSS!!!!





Helena: WOOOOOOOOO!!!! Go ME!

... and so on and so on.... It happens all the time.

I'm becoming a little concerned that she might be a cokehead. Maybe it's just coffee, but she'd have to be drinking a hell of a lot of it for it to have this effect. Or maybe she's just a really extreme gal. This is definitely shaping the way I'll be using her character in the story. Such a big personality needs to be utilized to the fullest.

I've never seen anything like it. It's quite cool. Is this happening because she's max active and playful? Was she like this in your game too?

Oh, and shout out to this awesome AL outfit conversion by javabean_dreams: Landlord Vests for the Un-Landlordy. It's one of my favourite Maxis outfits to date. It's not really Helena's usual sort of thing (it's more of a Frances thing), but I wanted to show it off anyway.

Oh my! She really is INSANELY cheerful in your game! :D She never did that in mine, though she was a a bit insane in a different way.

When she was a child, she used to spend hours and hours with the bubble blower (bought because Wanda rolled the want, but she never used it), laughing and "flying" to no end, until I sold the silly thing. She also loved her Daddy's "teleprompter" and spent a long time playing and burping on the mic (along with Timmy, those two are such slobs).

Maybe she's still high from those days!

She was also constantly jumping on puddles (and the bathrooms were a mess) and playing in the bathtub. As a teen, you could always find her doing one of these two things: Being a "pirate" or having sex with a random guy she brought from school. At college she had a LOT of fun with ACR (she was never faithful to Calvin :p).

LOL, those pics are hilarious! :D

I knew she was a handful in your game, but I didn't think she was ever this pumped up. :P She's just bouncing off the walls.

Being a "pirate" or having sex with a random guy she brought from school.

This is such an odd, yet intriguing combination. Helena is awesome, and I have the perfect place for her in my story. ;)

But yeah, she must have kept with the drug habits of her youth. If you recall my earlier drabble, she might be doing it to cope with the loss of her father. I see her as maybe someone who pushes herself to be happy to avoid being sad.

I'm glad you were amused. ^_^
