One thing I love about having my own place is having the freedom to walk around in my underwear if I please. Not that anyone around here would give a flying fuck if I walked down the main street in my undies. Seeing as the place already has a resident streaker.
Mum and Dad are coming around tonight for dinner. They haven’t seen the place yet and I’m already in my senior year.
Given I’ve lived here for well over a year it’s shitting me the amount of times my shower needs repairing. Usually I just bash the shit out of it with a spanner but this morning the taps weren’t going to take it and sprayed me with water giving me my second shower for the day.
I forgot to mention I bought myself a bird the other day. A beautiful cockatoo I named Coco. I have no room for him inside so he sits in his cage out the front where he flies around on his own free will. There’s a cheerleader out there right now cheering to him.
Kerbits Kerbits Gooooo Kerbits.
I still don’t know what a kerbit is.
………………………..
My parents are here and they brought Pippin. Aww I miss my puppy. Not that he’s a puppy anymore, he’s getting old.
Another mascot has stopped by. Only this one’s a Llama LOL. Does it never end? Instead of Sim State University it should be Sim Zoological University.
The Llama is doing the school cheer.
This amuses dad to no end.
Mum wants to sing the sea chantey with me for Christ sake. Can we at least go inside first??
I haven’t seen my parents for a while and they’re showing signs of age. Dad’s hair has gone completely grey!
He hasn’t lost his touch with his music skills though.
The Llama invites himself in.
Mum and Dad look at him curiously as he sits down to read one of the books the cow left lying on the floor.
‘
Friend of yours?’ Dad asks.
‘
Never met him’ I reply.
‘
I guess things are no different here than at home’ says Mum.
She’s always found the residents of Sim City amusing. I think that’s what kept her here.
Mum and Dad stare at the Llama as I clear their plates off the table. I guess I’m getting used to it…..actually, so should they be!
Still funny though seeing them sitting there, staring at the mascot Llama who is sitting on my couch oblivious. Oblivious or unconcerned. Probably the latter.
Personally if I had 2 people staring at me like that I’d get up and leave.
After dinner I showed them around….well…there isn’t much to show really considering it’s a 2-story.
Dad liked it. Mum didn’t like getting stuck on the stairs.
Mum asked me where ‘that lovely boy, Roger’ was tonight and I had to explain I dumped him.
He’s nice and all but way too girly. The last straw was when we were out clubbing and he kept having me twirl him around on the dance floor.
Due to my lack of relationships mum asks ‘
You’re not a lesbian are you?’
‘
No mum, I’m not a lesbian…I just said-he was too GIRLY’
'
Because if you were a lesbian...'
'
MUM! I'm NOT a lesbian'
Before they left Dad jumped back on the drums. Mum lovingly placed some money in the jar he placed out.
Why he placed a tip jar out in the first place is
beyond me.
I think Mum got too carried away as she missed the jar completely.
Dad got so excited that there was money in the jar-like he hadn’t seen her put it there. Grinned all goofy like.
Hard to believe he was a rock god once.
