I realized my little girl couldn't actually marry the boy next door, because he's in a different family and won't actually grow up unless I can find him and play him through his own adolescence. He doesn't seem to live anywhere in town, so I can't find him. I started a new family, with Amanda and John Paul and Baby Thor (teehee) but that's going to take forever, and I haven't even managed to get the two families to meet yet. The mom from my original family showed up once, but JohnPaul scared her away. Damn hippy. I think my little girl will just have to grow up and marry some random grownup. Grr.

(How long did it take you to figure out I was babbling about the Sims again? This time, I knew I wanted the bathroom to be green, so I bought a green toilet right away. That way, I won't have to replace it when the Zillers can finally afford green wallpaper.)

I really need to get out more.

I'm kind of bored. I won't actualy have spending money for another MONTH, and not very much even then.

How can this be? I'm making more money. My expenses went up a little, but not enough to completely engulf my paychecks like this. I blame the Ripon electic company. I shit you not, they're sending me TWO overdue notices EVERY SINGLE DAY. Jeez, people. I know I missed a month in there somewhere, but I really will pay you eventually. That's more than you'd get from most people who left town. Back off, already.

But, next paycheck, I'll send them another 50, and the paycheck after that 40, and then they'll leave me alone. My first Madison electric bill was $22.15. I almost cried, it was so beautiful. A little mini-bill that I could pay in my sleep. I always suspected that the Ripon bill was excessive, but I'd never lived anywhere where I paid my own electricity before, so I just sucked it up. Now I know the truth. Alliant Energy was charging me to light up the whole damn block. Bastards. Or, maybe the rattly old house just sucked up that much electricity. In any case, I'm so looking forward to not having to deal with that anymore. $22.15! It's like some wonderful dream.

I've called all the phone numbers I have a few times, but no one ever returns my calls. Bridge is something that happens to other people now. Meh. Ian came over one night, and he claims to know several people RIGHT IN OUR BUILDING who want to learn, but he has a life and stuff. The few nights that I'm not closing, he always has other plans.

The Sims is calling me again. I just had another idea on how to find Little Kevin. I'll be sure to keep you updated.
