I’m testing out a new writing style, so we’ll see how it goes!

2014-2015: Raiden Aspen is 33, Celia Garnet is 31

---

Although neither one of us are all too stretched for cash (though Raiden recently changed careers, he can still support himself just fine) Raiden and I figured that’d it’s save us some expenses to live together. And besides, we used to share a dorm at university so it’s not very different, well, we get to decide what colours are rooms should be this time around! It took us awhile to settle on an apartment, we didn’t want to live on top of each other, but we also didn’t want to go over our budget. In the end we found a rather nice (and large!) apartment with two bedrooms and enough space for the both of us. The landlord seemed nice enough, though I admit, I winced when I saw how she styled her hair, it’s fine to do that for renfairs and conventions and what have you, but I’d have thought that a landlord might wear her hair more… Traditionally.

Oh well, on the bright side of things, I did get some shopping done at the new clothing store, Velvet. I should try to coax some of the more… interesting looking inhabitants of Harrington down there.

Before I begin I should probably let you know that this is the last “introduction post” that I plan on doing. I am adding Raiden and some other sims, but the main point of these introduction posts were to show you what went on while I wasn’t taking pictures. With this post that’s pretty much done and we can move over to more “current” stuff. I still have to figure how I’m going to split it all up, it all happened during the round of Poppy and Pomona, but a LOT of stuff went on so I might split it into three posts. (I wasn’t playing my default two/three day rotation) But I’ll see what feels best when I actually get there. For now, let me introduce you to Poppy and Pomona.

Poppy and Pomona are both townies, I didn’t make them and they “willingly” became friends with Clary (who they can blame for getting them into this madness). Poppy is now 29 and a family oriented sim, while Pomona is romance oriented and 28 years old.

We’ll start off with the moment that made me re-think blogging, it might not tell you a whole lot now, but it will eventually, I promise. Either way, I’d just built Poppy and Pomona a house (which looks quite a bit like Clary’s) and the first person to stop by was Raiden. Now, Raiden and Pomona did get along quite nicely although I don’t really think they had a lot of chemistry between them. Poppy does have two bolts with him, however she severely dislikes him (I think it began as an argument over at Clary’s and it has now evolved into them becoming enemies). Generally whenever Raiden came over (this is not the only time he’s dropped by) Poppy would quickly busy herself with something else, and since there’s usually quite a lot of sims on the lot, mainly men, she often ended up watching TV with them.

Warning, this gets rather wordy, due to the lack of pictures etc.

At present (which would mean in 2014) Clary is a 32 year old married woman. However this brief post will introduce you to the pre-blog Clary and detail a little of what happened before I started blogging (which actually is quite a bit).

The then Clary Hansley came to Harrington at 18 along with her cat Flower (who is now dead but has been “replaced” by a cat named Flora who looks practically identical). No one is quite certain what made Clary move all the way out to Harrington, nor do we know much about the place were she came from, all that we know is that she quickly made friends and that she quickly had a reputation going around. Exactly what sort of reputation? Well, that’s what I’m hoping to tell/show you now

Here we have Clary along with the deceased Flower. This is actually taken a bit later after Clary moved to Harrington, she really had no hopes of affording a flower station when she first got to Harrington. Clary is a popularity sim and is very outgoing, she loves having friends over and making friends. Unfortunatley when she first moved to Harrington there wasn’t any community lots and the only real way she had to meet anyone was to hope that someone would pass by. Which took several days. (This might be because I totally forgot to force create some townies…)
