13. What glitch? I thought it was great!
"I disregarded all that happened and went to my 'happy' place."
- Klara Aurora (cited from The 1st Immortal)Today is a double whammy of a birthday bash. I prepared myself with a refreshing jog (not that refreshing when you consider this is the second time since the beginning of this file that I have done so - my poor aching everything!). But the watcher wanted me to look my best, and in order to prepare myself for our communication time I wanted to put my best foot forward.

Deciding on some change of pace we went to the park in Oasis Springs this time. Some townie brought the green horns while Melker blew out his candles.

Que the unibrow.
Emelie: Might want to change that dear...
Melker: What? I'm smoking, besides I'm not sure I trust your fashion sense....
So, he became a snob...and wants to be a Mansion Baron.
Unfortunately he also seems to have inherited all the worst features from Brycen and me put together. His nose is particularly strange and his chin as well (especially viewed from the side). But I am sure I can find someone who'll love him despite his faults (and somewhat poor attitude).

The it was my turn to blow out the cake...

I'm skinny again! Without having to exercise more than once!
Watcher: Well, that was strange...
Emelie: No! It was great - what are you doing?
Watcher: Saving and closing the game, I've got dinner to make.
Emelie: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...........

Watcher: Ah, back to normal I see. It must have been a glitch.
Emelie: I hate you right now. Just go away.

Watcher: Aw, don't be like that. We almost never talk.
Emelie: Fine talk while I have some of this delicious cake to chase away my pain.
Watcher: Is that such a good idea if you want to loose...*silence*
Emelie: Take that watcher!
So, the Watcher and me are still not speaking. We'll see about next birthday. My pain was doubled when I had to share cake with my old enemy. At least I was still younger than her...

Britta used the party as an excuse to become the center of attention. It wasn't even her birthday, and she had people flocking around her. To be fair, I was not really cheerful, so I can understand if people kept their distance.

As the day wore on the hunger pangs told Lucas to start grilling. He called Mika and she was right on time to watch him prepare his first meal. He is well on his way to becoming skilled in all the arts a sim needs to survive.

Flirtation is one art he has down pat.

While the rest of us mingled, Melker was checking out his new looks in the bathroom...
Melker: OMG, my mother was right! The brow has got to go! But hey, other than that I'm hot.

Brycen was gathering info on the locals.
Brycen: So, how's married life with Sophia?
Alexander: Who?
Brycen: Oops, sorry wrong Alex...*awkward silence*

Once home Melker changed into new clothes. The unibrow is no more. Instead he insists on wearing a hat at all times, says it's a fashion statement.

The Watcher has done a partial renovation of our home. It is easy to move around in but looks even worse than before. The only upside is that Brycen and me now have an en suite bathroom, and that there is a bar in the living area.
