Justifying it is tough and it's why generation two turned out as it did. <br />Lol. Mariah went stag to prom and was my first sim ever not to get a crown for her inventory. She wasn't popular enough either.

Yeah, I'm having a great time with this story line for that very reason. It's just a big tangled mess and when those strings get pulled a lot of folks are going to get hurt.<br /><br />Oh that sounds like fun! And how funny that even the non-airheads were buying into it. rofl! <br /><br />Nah, 'The Monkey Queen of the Moon' was just Mariah saying she'd do just about anything you asked of her for that amount of money. Kelci was trying to impress Mariah, as well as buy a favorable 'fortune.' Mariah just recognized that.<br /><br />Ah, what happens next is a bit tame. But what happens right after that?

It's sad that Mariah is not able to look beyond not having to care for her Mom, I bet once Layla dies (no one lives forever, lol), Mariah will actually feel lost for awhile. <br /><br /> I find the whole Mariah, Roger, Kelci, Andre tangle quite fascinating---it's like witnessing an oncoming train wreck and you can't just look away, lol <br /><br /> I loved Mariah as a fortune teller to Kelci---it really is amazing what people will believe. When I was in highschool, one year at the Halloween carnival I was a fortune teller--complete with costume and tent, haha No one could recognize me (I was wearing a black wig over my red hair, and it dramatically changed my looks) and my Mom the week before had bought this huge bag of 100 fortune cookies. I wrote down all the different sayings---there was like 25 of them---and that is what I used to *tell* my fortunes. When people found out I was the *fortune teller* they would go on and on about how gifted I was because what I had told them came true, LOL And they weren't just the cheerleader types either! ;)<br /><br /> I have to ask about this Monkey Queen thing---I do believe I am missing a reference or something, lol<br /><br /> I can't wait to see what happens next! =)Nirarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15253184399668018141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-83632649756247098072014-03-11T12:59:57.851-05:002014-03-11T12:59:57.851-05:00::whines:: But I want to knooooooooow!

And he'll forever be...Ah, he's still a kid. And he'll forever be a nerd. lol Yeah, but Layla doesn't have too much longer, so it won't be too too long for Mariah. And with all the laughs Layla is giving me (she's playing along wonderfully as the crazy old lady in my game- here- take a peek- http://sunnyssims.tumblr.com/ I'll actually reference some of it directly next chapter) I could never dump her in a nursing home. Ha!<br /><br />Ah, but remember that Kelci is a very vain person with a very empty head. She's also used to money buying her whatever she wants. To her credit, that's exactly what Mariah did.<br /><br />Yeah, make it a zoot suit in a nice bright blue too. Ha! There are some similar items out there. I've even got a few in my CC folder, but we won't get to see prom. Mariah wouldn't have gone if I hadn't made her, and since I turned romance off for the teens in town (there are only 8 and I'm using 4 of them for my story, so I didn't want anything to hinder that)Prom was just a bunch of notifications about Mariah getting into fights and people turning her down for dances. lol<br /><br />Thank you! I worked hard on those. Nah. Mariah doesn't like or care for Kelci, but she's probably not going to target her maliciously. Her ideas are more along the 'what to do with the rest of my life' lines. ;)ShakespearesSunshynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019826982875949328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-42463309623262341202014-03-11T08:19:55.434-05:002014-03-11T08:19:55.434-05:00Haha, Roger already thinking about having kids wit...Haha, Roger already thinking about having kids with Mariah and then off to play video games. It's sad that Mariah sees herself taking care of her mother for the next 30 some years though. Dump that crazy lady in a nursing home! <br /><br />What baffles me the most is how Kelci trusts Mariah to give her an accurate prediction. She must know Mariah doesn't like her? Anyway, good for Mariah, that wad of cash will come in handy. <br /><br />Ok, had to google the Zoot suit riots cause I had no idea what that was about. Now i have a fairly accurate idea of Andres suit - blech! But it would be hilarious to find zoot suit cc! <br /><br />Why do I keep picturing a "Carrie" moment for prom? Um, I hope it won't include fire & blood! But I wouldn't be too sad if Kelci was to be, say, furious afterwards? <br /><br />Loved the disgusted look on Mariah's face when Kelci reached out to touch her (like a mummy! hahaha). I also really liked her peeking during her reading. And that belly laugh at the end! I'd watch out if I were Kelci.

And I'm glad you remembered the earrings, but it is just a coincidence. Ah! Now then! Noticing that... That is a coincidence, but I've also been tying them together by bouncing their looks off of each other. When you see Kelci in a dress, Mariah is in a dress. When you see Kelci in Pants, Mariah is in pants. And I've tried to use colors that are similar with each of them for their clothing also. Even though this is only the second time we've really seen Kelci. <br />And that's exactly why what they're wearing is so important. Just how much is Mariah tricking Kelci, (Andre too) right now? ;)<br /><br />We'll just say Roger's mood swings have calmed down quite a bit. lol. He's realized the mistakes he's made and he's trying to make it right between himself and Mariah. <br /><br />Misty's moons are awesome aren't they? I love that one so much!<br /><br />Well, I could tell you, but that would spoil it. Which pretty much just gives it away. lol.

Mariah doesn't want to be too too mean to the silly little Whovillites, she just wants them to *pay* her. *snort Sorry. And I'm very happy her taking money for doing that doesn't bother anyone so far. Mariah isn't bad, per se, she's just got a rather twisted view of 'straight and narrow.'

I'm be...Hey, he blushed didn't he? ;) Yeah. I'm betting Layla will die soon enough after she graduates so... Yeah.<br /><br />She had to do some fast thinking there didn't she? She used to keep careful eye on what was going on, but she's been pretty lax as she's grown out of that phase. Thankfully, she's already close to a lot of sources of info on that particular matter. Otherwise she might have been up a creek!<br /><br />Just that Mariah isn't bothered by the fact that she just lied and accepted money for basically doing nothing. She doesn't feel any moral obligations to Kelci other than self preservation. Or, is there more in that that'll pop up later on also? ;)<br /><br />Don't forget, they're still working on that project together. We only witnessed two homework meetings between the two that occurred in the fall. It's now winter, with spring and prom and graduation closing in fast. So she's also seen him a LOT in the intervening time.<br /><br />It is a lot to think about. I just really wanted everyone to understand some of her underlying motives. None of that is anything she dwells on, or is going to harp on or talk about endlessly so it's kind of hard to have her state it without her sounding like she's stuck in the past. She's not. And at this point in her life, even she doesn't realize how all of that has impacted her and her decisions.ShakespearesSunshynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019826982875949328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-4856017649149338212014-03-10T19:00:13.820-05:002014-03-10T19:00:13.820-05:00I love that moon!

Though I won't update the generational goals with that until she actually starts the career. And I couldn't resist! I needed it to be something that would overcome any qualms Mariah might or might not have regarding such an unusual request. Lol! I can't wait either! I've got some PLANS man! And they.are.epic. IMHO, at least. lol I'm so excited for this one. It's going to be a lot fun. Just one more chapter and then I can really get going on it!

However, she doesn't really remember having them both around either. And she usually doesn't feel sorry for herself about that. She's accepted that things are how they are, and that only time can change it.<br /><br />Of course she has a thing for Andre! She kissed him right back.<br /><br />LOL! You don't relate to Kelci. Kelci is vapid without a single original thought in her shallow, vain, empty little mind. But who doesn't want to know what's coming? Or how things might go? Now then. Wanting to harm the other girls running??? It's only okay if you're using fire. Then go right ahead. =D<br /><br />She probably won't get over that feeling. Without Mariah to care for her Layla probably wouldn't survive very long. And Mariah knows that. That being said, Layla doesn't have very long to go either. She's already aged up to Elder even.<br /><br />Lol. I decided I'm just skipping prom because she didn't go with a date, and since I have romance turned off for the 8 teenagers in town it turned into a slew of notifications of how Mariah kept getting into fights and rejected by her crush for a dance. Ha! Ah well. Maybe next generation. ;)ShakespearesSunshynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019826982875949328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-73181767687096682552014-03-10T15:30:20.988-05:002014-03-10T15:30:20.988-05:00It might just be me, but I don't see anything ...It might just be me, but I don't see anything strange about Mariah taking Kelcis money. No matter what their story is. Who wouldn't take such an opportunity at easy money, and she gets to trick Kelci at the same time. What I do wonder is why the two of them have the same earrings. Hopefully just a coincident and not a gift from Andre. That would be tacky. They are both wearing heart- necklace too I see. Hope it's still a coincidense. <br />The faces Mariah pulled was great. Can't wait to see what she'll come up with. <br />Actually I do feel a bit sorry for Kelci. She's really gullible isn't she. And with that w***e of a boyfriend. That makes her tricked by Mariah quite a few times doesn't it? (Ok, it's a bit funny.)<br />It was great seeing Roger acting all normal for an entire chapter:) First almost like an adult, then he forgot it to play some videogames. That was great. <br />That moon is beautiful, I had to look at the pictures of it several times. Which also made me wonder. Will we ever see Roger without his glasses?

On one of our first dates, my significant other made a similar slip (about being married, not having kids). <br /><br />Mariah's really good at making up predictions. I'm not really torn up about her basically taking Kelci's money. I love the pictures of her developing her plan. It reminded me of the Grinch: Then she got an idea. An awful idea. The Mariah got a wonderful, *awful* idea! <br /><br />Andre is such as sleaze.

It's a little sad that he realizes his family simply can't afford him going to college along with his other siblings, but I'm glad that he seems to be happy with his choice of a career in law enforcement. For that matter, Mariah seems very accountable for her age too, and has since she was a child; she's had to be, with Layla. Even before that, she had to fend for herself a lot, and handle Sabria's tirades. <br /><br />That's really a wad of cash. I think I'd have given a "reading", complete with song and dance and costume, too! <br />Well, Mariah may yet have a future as a fortune teller, lol. Sabria is probably rolling in her grave right about now. <br /><br />Secrets, eh?

I'm 23 and still got no idea what to do with my life. Don't worry, hun, I'm sure things will fall into place. I know it sounds mean, but maybe Layla will die soon and she'll be free? :|<br /><br />Wow, so Mariah did very well to make up that prediction, I think! She's obviously a very observant sim to pick up on and remember all those little tidbits of gossip that she didn't care about, and then to string them into a believeable prediction was brilliant too! Lets hope she turns out to be right, because I can't see it going down well with Kelci if she's not... <br />And Mariah looked positively devious in that shot of her scheming with the money! I hope she's not about to run off and kill Kelci's competition or something 0.o Trying to work out what you were hinting at in the A/N<br /><br />I'm guessing by the way Mariah noticed and watched Andre leaving and the wave that made her heart flutter, that she's crushin' on him. I wonder if the feelings mutual? After all, HE kissed her, not the other way around... we think.<br /><br />A/N is very deep and there's certainly a lot to think about there! Excellent insight into Mariah and how she thinks and why, though!gemly_teddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384732672776498936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786507526217847447.post-12115683037674343172014-03-10T11:11:49.849-05:002014-03-10T11:11:49.849-05:00Okay, I've read it now.
I feel almost sorry fo...Okay, I've read it now.<br />I feel almost sorry for Mariah, feeling as if she is forced to look after Layla. It must feel awful, as if you don't actually have any parents. She went from having two loving parents to only an insane mother and a grandmother she hates.<br /><br />I think she has a thing for Andre. When hearts flutter/race, that means they like someone! <br />I'm not sure how I feel about Kelci... Is it bad that I can kind of relate to her? Wanting to be Queen? It sounds a lot like something I would do. (I would also cause harm to the other girls running but that's because I'm a tad bit of a psychopath ;) )<br />I mostly hope that she gets over the feeling that she has to take care of her mother, and I can't help but wonder now if Prom will be eventful for Mariah. I know its always eventful in game, but whether or not you include that in the story is a different matter.FutureCarrie?https://www.blogger.com/profile/18093792281240235088noreply@blogger.com
