The 'dick' exchange cracked me up, but not as much as seeing PHI give the ol' Johnny eyebrow to the guys. Good lulz!

I'm glad Tank called Frances :)

[strange_tomato]

Dick exchange... sounds like they're trading hockey cards, or something. :P That whole scene was pretty silly and stream-of-consciousness, and it was really fun to have Phi break out the brow there. She's picking up some of Johnny's habits, I guess.

Yeah, that's a significant detail, isn't it? Tank was the first one to make contact after their time apart.

Wow, it was short, but I loved it. I agree with you, that picture of Ophelia was really nice- I love the way Ripp's just content to be there, with her.

That pitcure DID NOT deserve to be censored- Sim boobies! never did anything to anyone, but wow Photobucket is awfully ~conservative~.

I like Florence's shop, they way that both of them work there, yay! Although I don't approve of the kissing going on. :\

Gieking Out! :D :D I LOVE the way you did the store, AND HIS SHIRT! Way to go Chester!

I love how my bb Beau works there, yes! Although, the creepy dreaming thing he did was a bit odd, but it's ok BECAUSE THEY ARE MY OTP. :D

I wish you the best, and I will be loyally awaiting the day you return for more Strangetown fun. Congrats on your wedding! :D

[smjoshsims]

I also forget to comment on the Alexander Goth fiasco- LOL! More details pls? Was Alex straight or not? Oh wow, poor Beau. :D

[strange_tomato]

I'd like to refer you back to what Beau said in conversation during the beginning of part two:

"And you had a crush on him... yeah, that's a familiar story. I have one of my own. It was my best friend in highschool. Yeah, if you ever want to make a friendship awkward, try confessing your true love for them when they have absolutely no feelings for you in return. I seem to have mistook a lack of interest in sex in general for a lack of interest in women, specifically. Yeah. Celibacy will always throw you off, let me tell you. Anyway... it's also a long story. Yeah, I'll save it for another time."

He just might have been referring to Alexander there. Yeah, poor Beau... he went through a very similar situation to the one that Frances and Tank are going through, with the added bite of being a teen at the time..

[smjoshsims]

Ah yes, what homosexual teenager hasn't experienced the pains for unrequited love? Poor Beau. I agree with Edie, he Definitely has a type, Alex and Frances are very much alike..

[telephonication]

I can seriously never have enough of this story. I jumped out of my seat when I refreshed my friend's page (you can tell I'm on LJ too much) and saw you had updated.

I'm so happy for Frances! Of course, happy for something he doesn't know may happen to him, but all the same, I'm happy for him. And I have this confused excitement for Ophelia and Ripp. I'm going to reread again, to get a better feel for how their relationship is, but this is great!

[dothesmustle]

I refreshed my friend's page (thinking there would be nothing new) and did a happy dance when I saw "Strangetown, Here We Come" show up. XD I'm on LJ too much, too, haha.

[smjoshsims]

That was pretty much me too. Except that I screamed when I saw it, and that was a little awkward.

*joins the on LJ too much club*

[strange_tomato]

Thank you. It's nice to hear that. It's always exciting for me to post these story updates too, and to see how people react to them. It will be very fun to get back into it when I return. I have a lot of things planned that I'm looking forward to doing in the story.

Well, Frances does know that he just started up a new friendship with someone, which took him by surprise, and he does have a sense that there might be some chemistry there, even thought he wouldn't have expected it. That's something to be happy for, regardless of where it might go.

I'd imagine that Ripp and Ophelia are confused about the nature of their relationship too. All three of them are pretty unsure about what they're actually doing, or what that even is, at this point. It's sort of just organically developing, and who knows what might happen.

YES UPDATE. YES FRANCES. YESSSS.

[dothesmustle]

FRANCES YOU ARE SO CUTE I LOVE YOU AND YOU'RE ADORABLE AND YOUR HAIRCUT IS CUTE AND I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUU.

LMAO at the dick exchange! I was waiting for Dicki-Wiki. "Johnny you are not even a dick, you are a SEARCH engine for dicks."

I'm starting to soften up to the idea of Ophelia and Ripp. I still feel bad for Johnny, but Phi and Ripp will always be there for him and their whole triangle of ~love~ is sweet. :P

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. FRANCES TIME. I feel bad for poor little Frances still having feelings for Tank. (Also by the way, I was discussing screen names with simonym and wouldn't Tank's screen name be something like TankGrunt(Year he was born in)? Pretty boring and uncreative. XD

Re: YES UPDATE. YES FRANCES. YESSSS. (Take Two)

[dothesmustle]

Oh! To add to the screen names, simonym came up with "BABYFACE_XOXO" for Frances and "PimpMASTA69" for Ripp. We think Nervous' would be "xsonofdeathx." This is fun. XD

Re: YES UPDATE. YES FRANCES. YESSSS. (Take Two)

[strange_tomato]

No way! Nervous doesn't tell people that. :O I like PimpMASTA69. I'm sure I could come up with a bunch of those too if I thought about it.

Johnny's is definitely just "johnnysmith", because he was somehow the first one to claim it, using his special golden Johnny skills.

Re: YES UPDATE. YES FRANCES. YESSSS. (Take Two)

[dothesmustle]

That's true about Nervous, haha. I was thinking Johnny's would be something like "SportyGuy74" or something, but I could totally see Johnny somehow claiming "johnnysmith" without having to add numbers or anything.

Ophelia would probably have something with flowers in it. FlowerGirl and some kind of number.. Simonym said that Buck's would be something artsy I can't remember what is was but it had to do with air.

Awesome
