Things That May or May Not Be Helpful Later On in Life

Please excuse me while I try to find a way to begin this blog post other than "today" or "so".

Hey, wait a minute...

Today, I began teaching myself how to juggle. I don't know why. I picked up a hacky-sack and said to myself, "I'm going to learn how to juggle." The thing is, I only have one hacky-sack. Thus, the instruments which I will use to thrown in the air in a juggling formation are the little containers that hold the toys inside of Kinder Schokolade eggs.

Class. We have it.

The thing about learning to juggle is that it is, well, hard. I watched charlieissocoollike's video about it (oh damn, a hyperlink), and I found tossing one ball and tossing two balls to be incredibly easy. But I can't get more than a cycle-and-a-half. I always forget to toss one of the balls before catching the one in the air and ending the cycle.

You understand?

No, no you don't, because I absolutely suck at describing things. Sorry.

The other thing I began learning today was my lines. "Your lines?" the blog readers asked incredulously. Yes, my lines. On May 6th, my school is holding a "club night." Drama club is putting on two scenes from The Importance of Being Earnest. We needed something we could do fast, so we took three people who did it last year and a sevvie to do it. The thing is, I'm not in the scene I was in last year like the other two people that did it last year, so yeah. I'm still Gwendoline, though.

"From the moment I met you I distrusted you. I felt that you were false and deceitful. I am never deceived in these manners. My first impressions of people are invariably right."

Or something. That's my last line close to word-for-word. I think.

Sims~ :D

Ugh, where do I start? Everything is just spiraling downhill. Jonathan lost his job due to a chance card. I've decided to leave him unemployed, which was probably a bad idea. Frustrated by the fact that there was only one bathroom, I decided to work on the second floor. After fencing the balcony, putting the walls, building a dinky bathroom with the cheapest toilet and the cheapest sink, and adding a door to the bathroom, I had spent about 10,000 S, leaving the family with currently about 1,100. And Jonathan doesn't have a job.

True, Tessa makes nearly 1,000 S a day, but I remodeled after she came home on Friday and she doesn't work weekends. Ostacato brings in 57 S five days a week, but that's hardly useful.

Charleigh is now a teen. I decided Ostacato is better looking, so he's on the look out for an adult to make nice with so they can get engaged the day he becomes and adult. By the way, I messed up yesterday. Ostacato has Knowledge aspiration, not Fortune. Since Charleigh won't be getting married, she has Romance aspiration as planned. And she needs a job.

Eventually, the house will have at least one more floor and a roof hot tub scene like my last big family did. I might add more around the sides which will arguably look unsightly when I fix the balcony fencing because I can't delete old fencing, but whatever.

And they still don't have any windows. :/
