Roasted marshmallows for sweet dreams

Trouble at the cemetery

Nothing like a midnight stroll around the local cemetery to meet new people... former people?... current ghosts?... someone new?... Well, anyway, that's what this girl was up to a few nights ago.

Being what it is (mostly weird), my world of The Sims offers plenty of opportunities to socialise around the clock and around town. Being inappropriate, clumsy and unlucky, she's often rejected by other (living) sims - even her twin brother gives her a hard time most of the time! - and that's what got her thinking about broadening her small social circle.

No sooner had she arrived at the cemetery than this nice orange and innocent-looking ghost popped up from a grave! She hurried to greet him trying her best not to spook him with her usually odd manners... (yes, it's that bad - I'm pretty sure she could spook even a ghost with her ghastly social skills!)

But, alas... her self-imposed restraint didn't go past the initial greeting and soon she was monkeying around the poor ghost trying to scare him back into the ground - just to show him she could!

See what I mean?...

Obviously, this was something completely new to the ghost, more accustomed to doing the scaring himself. Needless to say it didn't go down well with him! He faced the misbehaving brat and gave her a piece of his mind (yes, in the world of The Sims you get to keep your mind and all the corresponding pieces if you happen to turn into a ghost...)

He tried his best to look scary and pissed off - to no avail, of course... She was at the top of her game - the national sport in the world of inappropriateness - and played a trump: the unexpected-slap-across-the-face-that's-guaranteed-to-drive-the-opponent-up-the-wall!

I don't have to explain what that brought on, do I?...

Once again, she went out looking to connect emotionally and all she got was a whole lot of fists connecting with faces and feet connecting with shins... 

But she also came out with a personal little victory - she now knows she can try even the patience of a ghost - and in her mindset that's something rated with at least 4 stars out of 5!...

If you want something done right...

... do it yourself, right?

Well, as usual, this is just another one of those things that gets taken to the extreme in the world of The Sims.

So this burglar (stylish, isn't he?) breaks into someone's house and is surprised by a state-of-the-art alarm system. It goes off ringing and buzzing and sending waves of whatever-the-hell-that-is through the air and scares the poor guy, er... I mean the stupid bastard half to death.

The police get there soon enough, as he's still too dazed to run away, but at the sight of the uniform he quickly snaps out of it and attacks the officer - no, he's not trying to hug and kiss the policeman... even if he's thinking of diamonds, I don't believe he's about to propose or anything... but then again, you never know with these guys...

Startled and disgruntled, the police officer is overpowered and falls to the ground not so sure about what just happened. Luckily for him, the house belongs to our martial arts expert. She jumped out of bed straight into this mess determined to put an end to it herself - or, at the very least, turn the damned alarm off!!!

The burglar never saw her coming - as you can see, he's still thinking of diamonds... and even looks a little surprised to see the officer's odd reaction to his unusual approach (or maybe he really is thinking of proposing...)

The lady in the pyjamas grabs the burglar by the neck and actually puts on quite a street fighting show which impresses even the police officer! I guess it shows just how ticked off she must have been - who needs martial arts skills when you can just smash the robber's face in and show the police how it's done? Nothing like a good fistfight in the middle of the night to help you sleep soundly till morning...

Now... if only the damned alarm would shut the hell up!

Rummaging

This lady is an insomniac. This lady is a stalker. Or this lady is just plain crazy and will get herself in trouble if she doesn't get her head out of that trash bin...

Some people will do just about anything to get the dirt on their neighbours. Maybe someone should have told her that you don't always have to get dirty in order to get the dirt on someone... She could have gone straight to the mailbox and break into it, but no, that would be a federal offence and could earn her a few nights in prison! Well, who knows if that's where she'd find restful sleep and real stalkers to make her see how wrong the path she's treading is?

Curious on top of the world

She's stargazing because she's into Astronomy... or is she?

The way I see it (and I should know since she's sort-of-kind-of-like a mini-me...), she's spying on the lighthouse operator that lives on that island... I happen to know for a fact that it's a handsome young man who wouldn't mind socializing a bit with his curious neighbour...
