last time, relationships between the man of the house and his family deteriorated, Johnny had a birthday, and it is now the 1960's in Sunset Valley!
after aging up into a Young Adult, Johnny takes his psychedelic tie and Winkle Pickers to get himself a job. since his LTW is to become a Superstar Athlete, Johnny is going to borrow his dad's car and cruise on down to the Stadium to sign up.
Get your motor runnin', head out on the highway! BORN TO BE WIIIIIILLLLDD! Johnny, you are so stylin'.
the house went through some minor redecorating, covering up the star plaster with some awesome new wallpaper, and redoing the house with more modern styles. since Tom was being such a prick lately, Mary-Anne deservedly splurged on her new kitchen.
... and went a little ass crazy with the avocado. you're going to regret that color scheme later on, just sayin'.
she also underwent a little makeover, getting her hair did like Raquel Welch, and getting a snazzy new dress and some slingbacks. you go girl.
there are some new additions to the neighborhood, like this young lady by the name of Delilah.
and another teenager by the name of Bonnie.
Charlie thinks Bonnie is groovy.
so he crawls out of his comfort zone and asks her on a date. she is mostly receptive, though she doesn't let him seal the deal with a kiss. poor guy.
Mary-Anne hates her husband so much she does this every time she sees him.
they officially sleep in separate beds now, and are holding the marriage together for the sake of their children.
Mary-Anne's life is one constant and unending cycle of cleaning, cooking, and doing laundry. no wonder she is so burnt out all the time, poor thing. i'd have she and Tom go on vacation, but they can't stand one another, so, it would be a waste.
is that Tommy cleaning? without being told to do so? WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THOMAS!?
you hate your husband sweetie, i know. chillax.
Jack: *hack... gag... asphyxiate*
Danny: *continues to read unperturbed by his sibling's near death in the adjacent seat*
Charlie: I am a super stud, I have a girlfriend... kind of.
Jack: The depths of my indifference is boundless.
Tommy: *tries to act like he's a part of the convo*
time for little Ben's birthday! he's the last baby, so no more toddlers for Mary-Anne :'(
and he looks just like his mama, but with his dad's eye color and hair.
look! it's Penny all grown up! i smell potential heirs a cookin' between you two!
*makeout*
seriously, is that all you two ever do is swap spit? jeez.
you know, she probably would have been better suited for Charlie, but he's a bit too young for her, so she settled on Johnny instead, even though they have zilch in common. and there they are with the damn cake again! seriously! come on!
*Benny spam!* he looks... erm... speshul.
*Jack spam!*
*Danny spam!*
*Charlie spam!*
*Johnny shirtless spam!* he finally gets his own room now that Benny is rooming with Jack. gotta love their orange shag carpeting. so stylish.
Tommy has become the enemy of nearly every single person in the household. and things only get worse from there.
Mary-Anne leaps to the defense of her children, and Tommy rolls to do mean things to her constantly. i am wondering how long it will take before someone gets in a fight.
it's time for Jack's birthday!
*pixie dust*
he is very manly, though i don't know where he got that nose. neither of his parents have that honker.
after a while, shit hits the fan between Tom and Johnny.
Tommy whipped his ass, of course, but Johnny put up a helluva fight!
Mary-Anne declared her husband as her nemesis. everybody hates him, everybody.
Delilah and Jack are getting pretty comfortable with each other, if you know what i mean...
*bow chicka bow wow*
Charlie has his party for when he ages into a Young Adult! the fight for heir is going to get fierce.
Bonnie (who won't even let Charlie get to first base, wth!?) is super stoked, as you can see.
he is such a nerd. omg.
ooooh, dancin' with your brother's woman. you best check yourself before you wreck yourself.
and it's Benny's turn to age up. so. many. friggin'. birthdays. that's all i ever do is have damn birthdays!
and he looks like his mother. he's kinda cute, but his traits make him... undesirable.
LOL! Mary-Anne's face is epic.
Benny: ... oooookaaaaaay.
and then it was time for Danny to become a Young Adult. i am going to have to start tossing out leftover cake, this is just ridiculous. there is a picture of him as a YA in the following journal update, and you will soon find out why:
it is time to pick an heir, since it's been plenty long enough, and i need YOU to help me decide. i have included Benny in the poll, though he is still pretty young yet and has some less than favorable traits. but, it's only fair to give the little guy a chance! here is the
poll which will close on the 22nd!
