The Bookacy Family Alphabet Journal

Before I start getting ready and go out for the evening, I just wanted to wish you all...


"Ooh, pretty light!"

So this is what I'm planning on doing tonight, possibly not on the sidewalk, though. Sparklers are pretty appropriate, since they are the only kind of "fireworks" that I can be given.

So, Happy 2010, everyone, have fun and watch out for the fireworks!

Well, I shamelessly stole this from leaths, and notice I'm not the only one. Fun meme is fun!

( My sims personality! )

Now that I'm finished with the college rotation, I thought it's about time to share some college picspam. I'll try not to share too much from the main house, to keep from spoiling plottiness or anything. Let's just say that plot bunnies are running in my head and yes, they breed like mad. I don't know what I'm going to do yet, but some sims have given me food for thought...

Luckily there's been stuff going on in the extended family too, and that's what the picspam will mostly be about. So, let's dive right in shall we?

( College picspam - including demented purple hearts and such )

So it was some time ago that I posted the first part of my summer picspam. The summer rotation has now been done with for a while, so I suppose it's about time I posted MOAR picspam. I've lately been playing college, and it has been a blast, but that's again something for another time.

( Without further ado, time for some main hood picspam! )

Phew. I think that's about it for the rest of the rotation. Fun has been had again, and college means even more fun. I'll need to share pics some other time, promise. =)

Alright, so this time I decided not to post a full rotation of picspam at once. I learn from my mistakes. So, now you get a couple of houses worth, up to where I've played. Not all houses are even included in this rotation, since the kids are in college and the nest is empty. But first, before that, let's...

( ... start with some slightly spoilery Sal stuff! )

So that's what's up in Alphabetia recently. Maybe I should post some college picspam too, but that'll have to wait for another time, I'm not up for that right now. Anyway, things are progressing, little by little. Next in line to be played are Bill and Sandy, I suppose I'll get to them today. More picspam after I've played more!

Well, I promised some college stuff, so college stuff it is. This here is my current college crew of generation C. Currently there are 20 young adults on my campus. Here come the whole crew! (Edited for the latest on March 28th, 2010.)

( May I present: the college crew of generation C! )

I've been playing some lately, and I'm actually halfway through spring rotation in the main hood. Things are good, several teens have left for college and are now waiting for me to arrange them into dorms in the end of the main hood rotation. On the sad side, I've lost Adrian, Arthur and Meadow (in addition to Nicole, who went in the winter already). I was maybe a little bit sad for that, but when I was playing the Bruenigs yesterday, I certainly got cheered up!

( Party picspam ahead! )

It seems it was a tough party, and the Bruenigs don't even have a juice keg! =D

Today is kind of a special day for the Bookacies - it's their two-year legaversary. Two years ago today, on September 2nd, 2007, Author Bookacy walked out of CAS. I checked that at some time when I wanted to see how long I'd been playing already. (And the answer was "long".) So, happy legaversary to the Bookacies, and to me! As we're currently on gen. C, there should be plenty of those to come. And actually, at this rate finishing the legacy will be tough, as by that time there won't be computers that'd understand anything about my game. =D Oh well, we'll worry about that some other time.

Anyway. To celebrate this important occasion, I have something for you: a double update! It seemed I could make it on time, so I thought "why not" and went that last mile. Here they are, chapters 25 and 26, I hope you enjoy!

Edit 14th April 2017: in connection to moving to Dreamwidth, I fixed the links.

I'm back. Some of you may know that I've been taking a vacation and therefore absent. I came back just yesterday evening, and now I'm feeling somewhat awake again. Catching up with comments and whatnot will take a while, as will getting back to my Legacy for real.

But, for the time being, I have a little something for you. When reading some posts, I found out that the Exchange is back. So after a while of pondering, I decided I'm going back. Because I like the format and my Open Office gave me trouble. If this Exchange being a Fail thing happens again, I might change my mind, but for now, I decided that if I can get the fix work for myself, I'll go for it. And I did.

So, no new chapter at this point, but I've now got up Exchange versions of the chapters 23 and 24. It's the same old same old, but for the sake of consistency, they're there.

So, here you go:

Edit 14th April 2017: in connection with moving to Dreamwidth, I replaced the links with current ones.

So, I thought it would be about time for some picspam. I've been playing a lot these past few days, as I'm having some time off from work and all. So I've been able to finish the autumn rotation and start the winter one. So I've got some stuff from the various Bookacies to show. But first...

( Let's have a small behind the scenes for chapter 24 (maybe minor spoilage if you haven't read ch. 24) )
( Miscellaneous picspam (including a few ackward situations and pixellated nekkidness) )

That's it for the picspam for now. The kids are closing in on college, or most of them anyway, and I'm having a blast playing.
