Oh no! Poor Branch! My heart is breaking for him 
I was totally thinking the awful silliness of the Sims, giving a chap the "just friends" talk in your sleep wear, when Branch shouted what I was thinking. I almost died laughing. Moon sure is evasive! Maybe he regrets the commitment? Wants to keep playing the field? I'm sure Branch will be waiting with open arms should Emmy need comfort!
Poor Branch! I forgot all about Anoki being Emmy's boyfriend when she and Branch had their kiss, ha ha. Well, we'll see how this plays out!
And I thought the exact same thing about the whole "let's just be friends-while wearing lingerie" thing as both Branch and Ombradellarosa!
I was so surprised that she was up for Branch's kiss that I really don't know what to do now. It's too easy if Moon is just a jerk, so I'm going to let things play out naturally. Gives me a bit of anxiety not knowing where it's going or who Emmy prefers!
EmmalineIt's always so exhausting right after you get back to school. Daisy and I fell hard asleep that first night, both dreaming about what's important, I'm sure.
It wasn't until a few days in that Daisy and I really had a chance to sit down and talk. She announced her engagement to me, which is GREAT and all ... ugh. So I just spat out that I'd kissed Branch and she almost died of hotdog asphyxiation.
Later I went to deal with the news of my baby sister's engagement in my own way.
I texted Moon, asking him where the living heck he'd been and if he wanted to meet me down at the beach. I sloughed off down there, slightly juiced and irritated. I received the shock of my life when he showed up in graduation gowns.
So, that's what he's been up to! Honestly, I'm relieved. I'm also relieved that he's staying on as a TA while he works on his second degree, though obviously I hope I never end up in any of his classes.
"Aw, come on, Bliss," he says. "You know you'd be hot for teacher."
"Speaking of which," I said. "Why'd you turn me down the other night?"
He shuffled, looking a bit uncomfortable and then said, brushing a strand of hair out of my face, "Is that really how you want our first time to be? Via text?"
He was right. So I glanced around, cinnamon roasting happily in the bonfire, the stars twinkling overhead, and I said, "no, I'd like it to be on your graduation night. How about coming over?"
This time, he was receptive.
This time, there were fireworks.
Strangely after that, I was suddenly feeling way more focused and ready to work. My blog is doing really well. All is right in the universe.
I'm sleeping better these days too.
DaisySo, medicine. A new and exciting frontier for my intellectual pursuits. It's not so bad so far!
Honestly, I think of the three, I have the most natural inclination toward art. Which is crazy, because I am such a cerebral person and art is so ... messy! But I still practice, even though science is really the focus of this semester. Maybe the real thing about me is mental fickleness!
No emotional fickleness, though. Gladsten (my fiance!) is the only man for me, and I miss him like crazy.
Not like my loose cannon of a sister. She. kissed. Branch. Oh, my Watcher, I don't even know how to process that. And we haven't even been able to talk about it again because Anoki practically lives here now.
I guess I don't mind. I wish he'd turn the stereo off when he goes to class, though. I've been spending a lot of off time working on my magic, and I'm not super comfortable doing it in front of anyone but Emmy.
Of course, she thinks I'm being ridiculous. After all, she'd KILL for magic powers, according to her. She and Anoki love watching supes do crazy things on Simtube.
I just want to learn magic so our appliances will stop breaking, if we're being totally honest here.
The night after midterms (both Emmy and I got flying colors scores on our tests!) we threw another of our patented toga parties. It was also a full moon, which is always unpredictable!
We had a few zombies show up and then immediately change into togas, which was amusing.
Our friend Liz, one of the survivors from semester one, has recently gone through a break up and was spending the whole party buried in a book. Emmy and I conspired and I cast a love charm on her, hoping it'd get her out of her shell a little. We went to play juice pong and waited to hear her find her new love.
Unfortunately, she found Anoki. I don't have a shot of it, because it was so dark, but Emmy was furious. She leapt up, and ran over to confront them, just in time to be intercepted by a police officer shouting at her for disturbing the peace.
By the time the officer was done, Anoki and Liz were both long gone and Emmy was too tired to do anything but fall asleep. Bizarrely, the officer stayed, had some juice, and enjoyed the fire well into the morning.
I'm a little shell shocked, to be honest. I have no idea what will happen now, and to be frank, I feel responsible for what happened. It was my love charm, after all.
I pretended to be hard at my study when Emmy woke up to go to class.
Mostly because I didn't want to tell her what Anoki had happily confided in me the prior night. He would be lecturing Emmy's first class of the second term. Yay.
