Strangetown, HWC Letters to Santa: Johnny Smith

[strangetomato]

Johnny makes sure to get his letter done early, so "Santa" has time to buy his gifts.







Letters to Santa: Johnny Smith





Dear "Santa",

If you're wondering what to get me for Christmas this year, I have some suggestions for you:

1. Socks and underwear - boring, but needed

2. Toiletries - hair gel (get the jumbo size), facial scrub, Compulsion cologne, or anything else you think I'd like (you know the drill)

3. Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero - there might be something in it for you!

4. A new soccer jersey

5. Membership at Dreamy Fields - if you think I've been really good


love you,
Johnny

XOXOXO


P.S. If you're reading this, Ripp, all I want from you is an immaculately clean apartment.

I love Johnny's fantasy world. And that's his 'family nutcracker' right?

And the extra little note to Ripp! And Ripp's face in that last picture! Oh Johnny, you are wonderful.

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

ps his eyes are so pretty omg! *swoons*

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I love those. :) I decided to go with a more Olive green for the defaults, sort of like Lyran's, but I gave Johnny those nice ones to match his skin (I think I'll give them to Jill too, just to make it make more sense).

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's the hideous family nutcracker. :P I'm pleasantly surprised that you remembered it.

I had another shot taken for this, and then as Johnny walked by, Ripp looked up all pleased at him like that. XD Cracks me up. It's like he's all proud of himself and wants Johnny to look and see what a good job he's doing.

Yeah, Johnny's got a great little Christmas day all planned out there. Just baking cupcakes all day in his new jersey.

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

Aww, Johnny is so practical with his list. Well, except for wanting Ripp to clean, that might be stretching it. :P

And I C U thar Phobia+Sarha eyes! Mine are coming along quite nicely, I expect to have them done by Friday. THEN IT IS YOUR TURN.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he's so practical he asks for socks and underwear. :P The cleaning is pushing it, but maybe he'll get lucky.

Are you geneticizing and townie-fying yours? I want to get them in there so the townies will be generated with those nice new eyes. I'll get to making contacts once they're ready.

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

Hopefully Ripp will get overcome with the Holiday Spirit and clean the house in lieu of a real gift. :P

Yes, I'm making a Geneticized and Townie Friendly set, and a custom set. (I just can't tell them apart- if you have both you're screwed, I guess.)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Well, it would be the gift where the thought really counts, because it pains him so much to do it. I love watching him grumble his way through chores. :P

Maybe a tooltip would be able to identify which it is? I don't really know, but it sounds like a good idea.

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Ripp would be in it for the appreciation he would get from Johnny. :P

Yeah, I FINALLY figured out how to edit Tooltips in Simpe! \o/ I'm going to edit the Custom ones to say Custom.

Out of curiosity, which Green default is that on Johnny? It looks like Invisible Gardener... (I've been doing these eyes for so long I can actually identify them! ;_;)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it is Invisible Gardener. :) Good eye. I'm using Weather Reports as my deafult green. It's a more yellow green, but not quite as Olive as Lyran's was. I really like it on non-alien skin.

My default set is Old Soul Song, Sunrise Sunset, Weather Reports, Love is Real, and Spent on Rainy Days. I'll add the others as I feel the need.

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

Aha, I knew it! I'm using Classic Cars, Sunrise Sunset, Love Is Real, Spent On Rainy Days, and I have NO idea what I'm going to switch my Dark Blue to- I'm in love with ALL of them. D:

Is Old Soul Song the one Phobia made for you?

And, is Johnny wearing contacts then? Either way, I'm planning on switching my eyes for some of my Sims too- I like having subtle differences. :)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

This pic shows the difference between them in-game.

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

The eyes really suit them. They look so gorgeous. And I love how he's all leaning into her and I love them both to pieces.

[nicepoint.livejournal.com]

IS VCTOTW NOT THE BEST COOKBOOK IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!? That should totally be No. 1 on Johnny's list.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I haven't actually tried it out yet, because it's still on my own wish list, but I've only heard good things about it.

And Johnny lists things in order of cost, not importance. ;)

[meetme2theriver.livejournal.com]

*giggles*

Jumbo size hair gel!

Ripp's expression in that picture is great. 'What are you guys doing? Are you taking a picture? I wanna be in it! Can I be in it? Will I be in it if I bend down like this?'

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Johnny uses a LOT of hair gel, don't you know. That hair is hard work.

*snicker* I love your internal dialogue for Ripp. He wants to be in the picture so bad, his head turns all the way around! :O

[steaders.livejournal.com]

Oh this is adorable! It's a brilliant idea of yours, it really is.
I love Ripp's expression, it's priceless! "Look, Johnny! I can clean, I really can!" Oh I do love your story.

[sadieg79.livejournal.com]

LOL! You read my mind :D

I love these. This is just so typical of Johnny :D Loved yesterday's too, great idea :)

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I like how small and bite-sized these are, and it gives me an excuse to do character things, and not worry about bothersome things like plot. :P

They're fun.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :) Yeah, he's really hoping he'll notice him, but Johnny just walks right on by. "Hey Johnny, look at me! Johnny Johnny Johnny! Look at me look at me look at me!" Keep trying, Ripp. I don't think he heard you.

CUPCAKEEEESSSSSSSSSS

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Cupcakes are so fun. I wonder if anyone has made a custom cupcake wedding cake, that actually functions, with the cake cutting and feeding animations? I should look into it. It would be a nice option.

[nimi4.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, oh, just lovely. I love Johnny's eyes and the cupcakes everywhere!
The quotation marks around "Santa" are also very much in character. I really like how you're doing this. :D

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

The cupcakes are taking over the world! :D Just like the title promises...

Yeah, I figured Johnny would do something like that, to play along, but show that he knows Santa's real name is Phi. It's fun to try to come up with little writing details for the characters, like the way Beau formats his letter in a business style, and Johnny's numbered list.

I think I'll be posting all the organized people first too, so the slackers will be scribbling notes at the last minute. :P That will be funny.

[xel-squirgle-ox.livejournal.com]

I have a feeling I know who the last person would be then. :P

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

"Oh shit, Santa! Is it too late? ;_;

P.S. IOU one plate of cookies"

LOL

[xel-squirgle-ox.livejournal.com]

YES RIPP, IT IS TOO LATE!

It's 2009 already! D:

[hannahspring.livejournal.com]

Cupcakes, where do they come from? They're extra cute!

Aww, I loved the last sentence for Ripp. :P

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

The cupcakes come from here:

http://www.ros-sims.com/objectsbusiness200

I'm pretty sure I found the link on your site, actually. :D Well, I searched for cupcakes, and your site was one of the first hits. Pretty cool. It was from a post back in November.

Heheh. Johnny knows he'll read it because he's nosy like that.

[hannahspring.livejournal.com]

Lol, I haven't really seen them in the game! I guess that's why I didn't recognize them. Gosh, I should start downloading, not only finding finds. :D

[me-emma-me.livejournal.com]

That last picture! *giggle* How cute, that he says 'love you' to Santa too! Aww.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

It's because Santa is actually Phi. ;) He's just playing along.

[redqueenofevil.livejournal.com]

Ahh, this is even funnier than yesterday's. Johnny knows that some of those hair gels aren't vegetarian though, right?

As for the vegan cupcake book, I've been wanting that too. My friends swear by it, and goodness knows that I'm jonesing for vegan cookbooks (already veg, just not vegan).

I can't wait to see other Santa posts. These are great.

ETA: I forgot to add comment about the second pic. I love how Ripp kind of looks like ? kitty from LOLcats.

[ikichi.livejournal.com]

Wow, Ripp is frightening in that pic. And what has Johnny been up to that he's running low on undies, huh?

Man, this was a great idea. I'm tempted to steal it.

[nessa-seragon.livejournal.com]

Ripp really is puppy-doggish in that last picture.

*snicker at Johnny's want for Ripp to make the apartment immaculate*

[madame-ugly.livejournal.com]

*takes a cookie*

Why thank you, Mr. Smith.

*eyes cupcakes*

(nice download there)

[dothesmustle.livejournal.com]

OH GOD HIS FACE.

If Ripp was a cat, he'd be an LOLCAT.

PS I love Johnny and his boring necessity Christmas List. It makes me happy. (I see you being flirty, XOXO-ing Santa. WHAT HAS GOTTEN INTO HIM ;D)

[catladymeow.livejournal.com]

Cupcakes!! Yum! Hehe, I love Ripp's face in that last picture.

[simgarooop.livejournal.com]

Johnny's OCD tendencies are almost palpable through his list, complete with numbering and links. Who knew he'd be so interested in baking?!

LOL at his "Dream Christmas"! I don't think Johnny has lived in a clean home since he left for College. Poor guy, in his place I'd already be insane!

[a-gates.livejournal.com]

Is there any chance of Johnny being dressed up as the grinch for Christmas?? I don't think Johnny would do it because he wants to but rather he would be persuaded by a cetain twosome. I think even Jill will find it funny, but I'm certain that Tank will just roll his eyes. lol. Here comes Johnny, the Grinch! LOL.

[a-gates.livejournal.com]

LOL. Now I want the Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, not because I'm Vegan but because I want to see what Johnny is so excited about.

[80sfiend.livejournal.com]

LMAO at Johnny. :) His letter suits him so well :) I can't WAIT to see Ripp's. :D

[silentsteel.livejournal.com]

*cackles* I love the image at the end! All his christmas wishes at once! ^_^ (You just know someone's gonna get him the toiletries and socks & unders too).

Cupcakes, cupcakes everywhere! :D

[ugly-kitties.livejournal.com]

Ripp is scaring me so hard in that ending image xD;
