Frances J. is The Man, it would seem.

[strangetomato]

Thanks to everyone who voted in my poll for chapter 28. The results have given me a clear plan for how to approach it, and the order should work out perfectly, now that I've thought about it (with maybe one exception, but that should be okay too). Our dear little Frances won by a landslide. I guess when you end up in simsecrets and such, you're a big friggin' deal.







"And in the darkened underpass
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
(But then a strange fear gripped me and I
Just couldn't ask)"




"Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care"




"Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one, da, da, da ...
Oh, I haven't got one"




"And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-tonne truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine"




"Oh, There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out..."


...

Hmmm... we seem to have caught him at a bad time. Or at a good time, since it's not every day he gets the house to himself for a heartfelt post-shower ballad. You don't exactly do that sort of thing with Tank around. ;)

Just a sidenote... I actually spent time getting him back to the neutral body shape (I could have used a hack, sure, but it was more fun to watch him gorge himself on take out), because I just don't see Frances having a six pack.

We'll pick back up here when it's time for the update. (Yes, at this exact spot.)

Now, if only Photobucket would stop being an idiot and let me see my photos again, I'd be all set. I'm so used to using it... and changing is hard.

:D

That is all.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Heheh. I'm just GIVING THE PEOPLE WANT THEY WANT!

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

I can see your banner, but that's it. In other news, SQUEEEEE. Frances is so adorable, and him singing awfully (I don't imagine he got the musical genes like Edie did, besides playing piano) is just more adorable! You KILL me, ST. :D

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I re-hosted the banner, that's why. It's now in my livejournal scrapbook. I'm going to that for all the permanent images.

I don't think he'd be awful, but he's probably not a great singer. He's competent enough, but he wouldn't likely sing for an audience if he could help it.

*tips hat*

The pleasure - the privilege is mine. ;)

[xel-squirgle-ox.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHA! He's so fucking cute. I was watching that poll and laughing my ass off knowing that he would be the obvious winner! How many secrets does Frances have under his belt? Three? I think so. XD

So, it opens up with him in a towel huh? Interesting.

Funny how yours ended up fit and mine ended up fat. Either way, I still imagine if he was a real person he'd be this skinny little thing.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I had a feeling he'd clean up at the polls too. He has a cult following. (And yeah, I think it's three.)

Yeah, it opens up with him in a towel. Why do you ask? :P

He ended up fit because he kept swimming in his pool (and what did you expect if you made him a grilled cheese sim? *snicker*). We must have him pictured in much the same way, because I see him as a small guy too. Not really skinny or short, but just a little bigger than that.

Frances is so adorable. What I wouldn't give for Tank to walk in on him. :D Towel and all!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

*whistles innocently*

[swhedonberry.livejournal.com]

Hey, I voted Tank, but Frances has a healthy bit of my love, too. ROCK ON, FRANKIE!!

He actually strikes me as someone who would really hate being called Frankie.

[cindyanne1.livejournal.com]

Doesn't Ripp call him Frankie? Or is that just Frank? LOL Ripp. :D

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm not sure if he'd be cool with that. He strikes me that way too... the sort of person who doesn't like nicknames but gets them constantly anyway.

[amaryssobellus.livejournal.com]

:D He's adorable, though I'm pretty sure I voted for Jane I'll take Frances

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

The people have spoken, and so we must jump on the Frances bandwagon. It doesn't hurt that he's cute.

[indigoleo.livejournal.com]

ROFL!!

Cost of computer; $695.00
Cost of internet connection; $24.95
Cost of Livejournal account, bare-bones basic; $0.00
The joy of seeing F.J. Worthington prance around in a towel? Priceless.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Heheh. Glad you liked it.

Those Bon Voyage towels are so many different kinds of awesome.

[franwi.livejournal.com]

He looks so happy, it's making me giggle - and I've been really down, so that's some magic!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't like to hear that you're down... *offers tea and some bickies*... but I'm glad it cheered you up.

Even Frances gets silly sometimes (though his song is still pretty Frances-ish, since it's not exactly Walking On Sunshine). :)

[a-gates.livejournal.com]

This is sweet!! Whoohooo!! Can't wait for the next update!

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks. If I ever get the image issue worked out, I might be able to get the next update out soon. *wishful thinking*

[dothesmustle.livejournal.com]

FRANCES, PLEASE, MARRY ME?!!?

:P

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

It must be hard being Frances, with all these female suitors trying to get into his marital bed. :P Back off, gold digger!

[showercapfrog.livejournal.com]

He is so cute. I just want to give him hugs.

Someone suggested running a Strangetown, Here We Come competition to see who would know the most trivia... I'm really tempted to write a bunch of trivia questions. Would you mind if I did that?

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I know. We could all corner him and huggle him, but I don't think he'd appreciate it much. :P

Really? That would be funny. So people would have to remember Frances' middle name and things like that? Sure, I have no problem with that. I remember doing something like that once before when I was younger for something that a couple of my friends and I were into. Trivia games are fun.

Heheh. One question could be to list all the commonly-liked things that Frances dislikes. *snicker* The list is long, because the boy's quite a snob.

[redqueenofevil.livejournal.com]

because I just don't see Frances having a six pack.

You know, that's what's missing from the game. Beer. Problem with the juice bar, is that the juices are either blue or red. Beer is neither. Need beer for game! Or maybe we just need beer. ;)

ETA: It's nice to see Frances look so happy.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

The juice keg at uni is supposed to seem something like beer, right? The colours all wrong, though. I agree. I'd like to see cans of beer or pint glasses at the bar too.

Oh, and they do have beer bottle behind the bar and in the fridge if you look closely at the textures. :P Someone slipped that in there.

I certainly wouldn't argue with a little more beer for everyone.

Aww yay Frances! :D :D
