Angie Does Bridgeport - Finale

********Theme Song - Beverly Hills by Weezer********

Angie..."pampering" herself and a guest at the Buena Vista  Resort.

...Angie?

Angie - "Shhh, go away, I'm busy."

We can see that.

As a Master Romancer and an A-lister, Angie now has her own limo, with a chauffeur to match.

Is something wrong, Angie? You've had your five conquests in five different places, you've become a successful celebrity, and yet you seem so lost. Are you lonely? Are you empty inside?

Angie - "Don't go all soap opera on me, I'm simply thinking about what I should do next."

You can't possibly be through with Bridgeport this quickly, the Creator would have a fit. There is something left for you to do here, I'm sure.

Angie - "You're right, there has to be something left for me in this town. I just don't know what it is..."

That's a nice home you have there.

Angie - "I just bought it for 150k. Of course, I had to pull a few strings at the motherlode bank in order to get a 150k loan, but it's nothing my stardom can't pay off."

You can't escape financial burdens with fame, just ask the celebrities that commit tax fraud.

Angie - "See, that's exactly what I thought, but Bridgeport is different. All I had to do was a few commercials for them and they considered it an even trade."

Must be nice.

Someone's not too fond of phone calls. Or maybe that's just a permanent vampire/evil scowl...

Angie - "That was my agent, she called to say that the owners over at Plasma 501 want me to make a visit tonight for publicity. They'll compensate for my time."

Well, that sounds fun.

Angie - "It does, except I have my housewarming party tonight! How can you miss your own party? Oh well, I'll just push it forward a few hours, I guess."

Extended pinky = prim and proper

So, how'd the housewarming party go?

Angie - "S'alright, people said it was verging on epic but I feel that it could have been better."

A little bit of a perfectionist, are we?

Angie - "I'm famous. I have to be perfect, or people will hate me. Must I remind you of all those scandals?"

There's a difference between deliberately acting out and being so clean that it's fake.

Angie - "Not for me it isn't. Like you said, the public isn't exactly receptive to evil, flirty vampires. I'd rather not take my chances. I did have an overnight guest, however..."

Sigh.

The funny thing about Sims is that they always go back to their first love. Or if they're Angie Dillard, their  first "conquest".

 Angie - "Don't 'sigh' me, you'd actually be proud of me right about now!"

Oh? And why would we be proud?

Angie - "Because I think I know what I want to do next with my life...and it involves settling down. With Beau. I already asked him to move in." *large grin*

How sweet.

Angie -"Isn't it? And we can live our entire vampiric lives together, avoiding the sun and keeping our youth. And not only are we both into the idea of world domination, but he's also totally okay if I'm not faithful to him! Squeee, it's going to be so awesome!"

Right.

Angie - "There is one quirk, though..."

Ahh, love-children. The burden of all romantic relationships.

Angie - "He had a baby eons ago with this one chick that now hates me for making him break up with her, her name is Marina."

What's the kid's name?

Angie - "Oh, him. His name is Jacob."

You don't seem like the maternal type.

Angie - "I knoooowww, right? I don't even know if I have a room for him!"

And you're still keeping him around?

Angie - "Well, yeah. It'd be awfully rude of me to say that his son can't move in with us, and I really care about Beau."

Wow, that's actually an awesome way to think of things, Angie. Maybe you're finally maturing.

Angie - "Plus, the little twerp can raid the hospital for plasma so I won't have to! Yay, everybody wins!"


....wow. Oh, and he's a teenager, so he can't fetch you plasma.

Angie - "Damnit!!"

A few days later, we checked on Angie again. We found her in her lingerie (as always), doing something that we never thought she'd do.

Angie? Nervous? How rare.

Angie - "Babe, ahh, you just...you just stand right there, b-because I have something f-for you."
Beau - "Is it something that involves a hot tub?"
Angie - "HAHAHA YOU'RE SO FUNNY SWEETIE!  But...umm...no...ahh...we shouldn't woohoo for a while...or maybe we should...? Anyway...umm..."
Beau - "...what's going on?"

See? Totally didn't see that coming.

Angie - "What's going on is...is..."
Beau - "Yeeesss?"
Angie - "Is...is..."
Beau - "For Creator's sake Angie, spit it out!"
Angie - "IgotknockedupandI'mnotexactlysurewhenbutIknowthatitsyoursandweneedtogetmarriedsothatI'mnotshunned. K?"
Beau - "....what?"
Angie - *deep breath* "I got knocked up and I'm not exactly sure when but I know that it's yours and we need to get married so I'm not shunned. Better?"
Beau -*excited gasp*
Angie - "Is that a yes?"
Beau - "HELL YES!!"

The newlyweds.

Beau - "Angie...before we continue, can I ask you something?"
Angie - "Shoot."
Beau - "Do you really care so much about what other people think that you're willing to marry me, even though you didn't want to before?"
Angie - "Um, yes, duh. But before you get all mopey/homicidal/whatever on me, I've been thinking about marrying you for awhile now...it's just that with the oopsie baby and all, now seemed as good a time as any."
Beau - "..."
Angie - "...Beau?"
Beau - "I love you, but I'll never understand you."

I think we all share that sentiment, Beau. You are not alone.

Angie - "Oh, Beau, meet my camera crew!"
Beau - *blank stare*

...Is he okay?

Angie - "Yeah, he's just a Loner, so it'll take awhile for him to get used to the cameras."

Well everyone, that's a wrap for now! We should probably leave so Beau can start breathing again.


Angie - "Psh, he's practically immortal! Breathing is for wimps."

Angie Does Bridgeport - Episode 2: Scandalous!

********Theme Song - Beverly Hills by Weezer********

We walked into Angie's apartment only to find her mysteriously glowy, in her undergarments, and sipping a suspicious drink. Only slightly concerning.

You look...different.

Angie - "Is it a good kind of different?"

Sure, sure. Care to tell the viewers what you've been up to?

Angie - "Well...I met someone." *smiles*

She moves quickly.

You 'met someone'? Does he have anything to do with your new...appearance?

Angie - "If we're being serious here, I met two someones, but this one is the one that captured my heart."

You have a heart?

Angie - "Shush."

Do you even remember his name?

Angie - "Of course I do! His name is Beau. We both dream of conquering the world." *girlish sigh*

Um, okay. So, what did he do to you?

This is the first (and the last time) you will ever see Angie beg.

Angie - "Well, I realized that I was getting way too old for my liking-"

You were barely six days over young adulthood.

Because if a stranger gives you the key to eternal youth then it must be love, right?

Angie - "Not the point. Anyway, as I was saying, I was getting way too old for my liking, so I begged him to turn me after we woohoo'ed. It was the best experience ever! I don't know why I didn't do it sooner."

So then that mark on your neck isn't just a hickey?

Angie - "Psh, not even!"

Okay then, what about the other 'friend'?

He's pretty handsome...

Angie - "That's Matthew Hamming, the first five-star celeb that I won over. We had a few Casanova cocktails down at Eugi's. Pretty cool guy, massive mouth though."

I see.

Uh-oh.

Angie - "A few cocktails later, we, ah...got down to business in the elevator."

Oh Plumbbob.

Angie - "Ugh, you're telling me! And I guess it was good for him, because he let the word out that we...'did it'. That [bleep]."

So, what did you do after the word got out?

Nice court attire.

Angie - "I did what any good celeb does, and I went to City Hall to try and sue for slander.

And how'd that go?

Angie - "...I lost."

Lovely.

When will Matthew learn to avoid Angie? When will Angie learn that Matthew is a blabbermouth?

 Angie - "Anyway, I decided that Matt was a trashbag and tried to avoid him. That is, until one night after work...I got thirsty."

And so you turned him?

Angie - "Nah, I just bit him. He doesn't deserve this precious gift."

Good to know, I guess.

Angie - "But would you believe that they found out I bit him? Stupid nosy town with their stupid nosy paparazzo. And worst of all, I couldn't find any of them to bribe!"

Angie is definitely more intimidating as a vamp. Vampire, that is.

Anything else?

Angie - "Oh, and I'm a B-lister now. I gained two lousy stars, whoop-de-doo. It's not like I can do anything with it...the stupid scandal has me locked up in my home!"

Well, the Bridgeport residents don't take too kindly to public woohoo and feeding off of other sims. If you want to stay famous, you have to be a good sim.

Angie - "Prudes, the lot of them. Hmmph."

The paparazzi is just despicable!

What happened here?

Angie - "I had a rough day at work, and I was low on energy. I passed out. Instead of calling an ambulance, the dumb girl decided to stand there in a frou frou dress and snap a picture! Now everyone thinks I'm a druggie, I bet."

I don't doubt that, actually. You know how the media works.

Angie - "Well, I definitely know now."

Fame isn't all its cracked up to be, huh?

Bartender - "Pardon me ma'am, but I don't think you should be drinking."
Angie - "Huh?"
Bartender - "We know you have a drinking problem, just take a break from the film industry and go to rehab or something. We're all rooting for your recovery."
Angie - "...."

*snickers*

If it's not one scandal, it's another, isn't it?

Okay, care to explain this one?

Angie - "I got caught raiding plasma from the hospital. I couldn't help it, I was hungry and I knew I couldn't feed on sims anymore! Being a b-list vampire sucks. And with all the scandals, Tiara can't be my friend anymore."

Of course, she's protecting her own image.

Angie - "Image-simage, if your friend is being unfairly picked on by the press, you stand by her! I would be there for her, if the roles were reversed."

Would you?

Angie - "....no, not really."

The evil face of depression.

Are you okay?

Angie - "Yes, yes I'm fine."

You look like a streetwalker in those clothes, you know.

Angie - "Oh Plumbbob, yet another rumor that will be going around! Maybe I can change somewhere on the way to work..."

Calm down, I was kidding!! Honest!

Angie - *sniff*

Sucker.

 Angie - "All right Matt, you messed with the wrong vampiress.
Matthew - "What did I do, sweetheart? Are you angry with me?'
Angie - "No, not at all, just relax..."

You're a vengeful one, Ms. Dillard.

Matt - "Babe, you're scaring me."
Angie - "Just...relax...."

Are you sure it's a good idea to feed off of him again?

Angie - "I'm at my house, so if the stupid wiener tattles, I can dispel it. I'm pissed, I'm starving, and he deserves it."

Okay then. We'll check back in later. Don't kill him, all right?

And that was the day that Angie got her mojo back.

Angie Does Bridgeport - Episode 1: Hello, Bridgeport!

I couldn't resist getting back into the writing process, so I decided to take a special sim and plant her in Bridgeport. The Bridgeport series will be in a reality tv format, but no plots! (for now)

But before we visit Bridgeport, we now interrupt this program for a very important update in Aspenville...

Brandon and Sandy have aged into elders! I'm so proud of them. *tears up*

And now onto the story....

-----------------------------------------------

********Theme Song - Beverly Hills by Weezer********

Ahhh, Bridgeport; a place where the rich, famous, and suspiciously pale call home. A place for the hopeless wannabes to flock to, in hopes that one day, they can live among the rich and famous...and pale. Angie Dillard is one of those bright-eyed hopefuls. Will she make it in this cold town? Probably not.

We enter her high-rise studio apartment at about 8:30AM. It's a nice place, but she craves more. Unsurprisingly.

"Ugh, it's about damn time you guys showed up. Be sure to get my good side, mmkay?"

So, tell us about yourself.

"Let's see...I was born and raised in Aspenville, and both of my parents were fun-loving bohemian-whatever sims. In other words, they never had a real job. Granddaddy had to loan them money just so that they could pay the bills. Deadbeats. Anyway, my grandaddy is a super successful power broker, I'm sure you've heard of him. And my grandma is a news reporter, so she's pretty famous too. People say I look just like her."

Yes, you come from a pretty well-known family. Wasn't your mother the daughter of the Shang Simla ambassadors, and your father a famous artist?

"They don't count, their jobs are frackin' lame. No one in Bridgeport has heard of them. But as you can see from my lineage, I was simply destined for success. And fame."

Of course. What else can you tell us about you?

"Oh! I'm a flirty Virgo, and I loooveee cars. Also, I need my beauty rest, so I can pretty much sleep through anything. I j'adore the color purple, techno, and Shamarwar-whatever. You know, that Egyptian dish?"

....Shawarma?

"Yeah, that. I had it in Al Simhara during a family vaca. Oh, and my boobs aren't fake. Totally got them from my mother. One of the only things she's ever done for me, that selfish-"

Alright then! Thank you for sharing a bit of your personality.

"My pleasure."

We followed Angie around for the rest of the day, but not much else happened. She got a job in the Film career, and gained a star. Now that it's evening, she and her boss Tiara Angelista are going to go out and celebrate her first night in Bridgeport.

So, where to ladies?

 Angie - "We're going to try and get into The Grind."

 Tiara - "Not try, baby girl, do. Thankfully The Grind isn't exclusive, so even one-stars like you can get in."

Angie - *forced laughter*

I noticed that Angie didn't lash out at Tiara, maybe because she knew that she was higher up than her? Angie never seemed like the type that would graciously take an insult like that, even if it were playful.

They arrived at The Grind, but Angie was getting sharp pains in her stomach.

Angie - "Augh, I'm so starved! I haven't eaten anything all day..."

Tiara - "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels, darling! Actually, you could stand to lose a pound or two. Just wait it out until the hunger pangs get super sharp."

And with Tiara's *genius* advice, they made their way into the club.

Kai Leiko - "Oh, its Angie Dillard! It's so nice to converse with a fellow celebrity instead of all these no-names. Hi, I'm Kai Leiko."

Angie - "Oh, hello! Nice to meet you. Hey, did you know you have the same first name as my mother's second-half of her name?"

Kai - "Wha?"

Angie - "Her name is Jia Kai."

Kai - "Ohh, sweet."

She danced with Kai, who is a rather odd dancer. She walked away from him unamused and pulled Tiara aside.

Angie - "Hey, do you know of a more...packed place we could go?"

They arrived at the Banzai Lounge, only to be told that they're not famous enough. Bummer. On another note, I guess everyone in this town is starving to be skinny.

Angie - "Screw the bouncer, it's this guy who's giving me the real trouble. He's refusing to talk to me! Needle nose."

Tiara - "Well don't be shy dear, impress him!"

Angie successfully impressed him, and with that goal accomplished, she grew bored of the place. Tiara left early to get her beauty rest, leaving Angie to surf the city alone.

Angie - "C'mon, let's get outta here. Lame."

Angie took a subway to go to a local dive bar. She says the name isn't important.

The elevator ride...just a tad awkward.

 Angie - "Wow, I feel SO overdressed.

Pablo - "Whoa, is that a camera crew?"

Angie - "You don't talk to them. They belong to me."

Isn't this a little below your standards?

Angie - "I really don't give a [bleep], I'm starving."

I thought skinny was beautiful?

Angie - "That chick has no clue what she's talking about. I may be many things, but one thing I am not is an anorexic [bleep]."

And thank Plumbbob for that.

First thing's first: wooing the bouncer.

Angie - "Hey, baby." *winks* Mind letting me in?

Bouncer - "...." *drools*

Angie - "Helloooo?"

Bouncer - "Oh, right. Of course you can come in!

...Tomorrow."

Angie - "WHAT? TOMORROW?! WHY THE [bleep] CAN'T I GET IN NOW?!"

Bouncer - "Because, ma'am, we're closed for the night."

Angie - "..."

...and an even more awkward ride down.

 Angie - "Um...ahaha...wow, this is awkward, but ah...would you guys mind giving me a little room? I'm kinda claustrophobic. Also, you're distracting my crew. Thanks, appreciate it, kisses!"

Frustrated, Angie gives up searching for another place to hang out, and decides to simply go home.

Way to plow into that ice cream.

Angie - "I am sooo hungry man, you have like, no idea. Lay off before I scratch your face off."

All right, just a tad grumpy.

And with that, we leave our bitter one-star in her peaceful slumber.

Taking my time

Somehow, when I don't rush things, I get awesome results like this:

View of the Boardwalk from the community pool

View of the Boardwalk from the ocean

View of the boardwalk from the art gallery

Of course, the boardwalk is only 1/3 of the beach area and the downtown area still isn't finished, but I like what I have so far. I envy my sims.

Anyway, back to Aspenville!

Jia and Kyle's baby, little Angie. (side note- I missed the birth while playing another family. Guess what traits the game assigned her? Heavy Sleeper and....wait for it....Evil. ;) That's not even the best part; the game made her a Virgo, too.

YA Issac looks handsome, just like his daddy...except more neurotic.

YA Juliana turned out to be lovely...if not awkwardly so. Not too sure who she looks like just yet, but she seems to have her mother's face length and her father's features.

I squealed when I saw Lily's face as a teen...she's so cute! *pinches cheeks*

Of course, with all of her babies growing up, Sandy rolled the wish to have yet another. For the love of God Sandy, NO!!

Blonde hair and blue eyes- the ultimate face of Virgoan evil.

Someone looks a lot like grandma!

That's it for now. I just received LN in the mail today, so I'll load that up (without AMB-sniffle) and update you all on that tomorrow. :)
