Old habits die hard - grabbing a carton from the fridge, I only realise when I take the first mouthful that this is not plasma juice, this is just juice. One of these days I will get the hang of being human!!
Before I left Twinbrook I took a trip to the science facility and brought the cure for vampirism, not knowing where I was going to end up, how long it was going to take me to get there, and how long it would be before I had a roof over my head, I would never have survived being a vampire because of the sun. So now I am human and it is taking some getting used to my new life!!!
I ended up in Sunset Valley - thousands of miles away from Twinbrook, my family and my old life. I don't really know why I chose Sunset Valley, but now I am here I am so glad that I did, this place was beautiful, at times breathtaking compared to the swampy murky Twinbrook!! The first night I spent sleeping in a sleeping bag on the beach and that is how I stumbled upon the plot of land that I bought which left me with just $58 in my pocket - I was broke but quite happy!!
You could say my new home - is a joke with three tiny rooms, a bathroom containing a shower, sink and toilet, a bedroom containing just a bed and the kitchen / living area just contained a cheap fridge, cooker and counter.
I could have bought a better house in the middle of town for a lot less than this lot cost me - but it was the view that made me chose this one. I could not think of a better place to live - it was just beautiful - right on top of the beach, you could constantly hear the waves crashing onto the beach and the sound of birds and crickets, it was actually pretty magical, especially at night when the stars came out and thier reflection danced on top of the water - I felt like I was living in paradise.!!
One day I am going to build a better house here - one day, I hope!!!
I had a total of $58 to my name - worrying about money is pretty stressful when you have never had to worry about money before. Broke and in need of a job I went straight to the music theatre and applied for a job. Having the virtuoso trait from an early age, I think I always new my destiny lay in music, and when I was a teenager I decided that one day I wanted to be a Rock Star.
Walking out of the theatre i had a random thought - I fancied going hot tubbing - but where was I going to find a hottub?? I jumped into a taxi and asked the driver to take me to a place that had a public hot tub and was free. He dropped me off at a recreational park - that was apparantley pretty new to town.
I met a few new people, they were only two high school girls Lisa Bunch and Kaylynn Langerak, but they were pretty interesting to talk too. I was quick to realise there was something else I had left behind in Twinbrook - my celebrity status!! I was loving it - I was a nobody, nobody knew me - it was great - no hassle for photos and autographs, no paps - nothing - peace perfect peace!! There also was not a vampire to be seen!!
The worse thing about now being human was the food. I had to learn how to cook cause all I had managed successfully so far was salad, which I actually found I really liked. It was so much easier being a vampire as far as hunger / thirst goes, grab a plasma juice and the job is done - being human meant preparing food to eat, that was taking some getting used to. Standing and preparing a meal when your stomach is already screaming for food is not a nice experience.
In my luxury pad (I was being sarcastic there) I had a choice of where I sat to eat my meals, the toilet or the bench outside and of course, I did not really enjoy sitting on the toilet to eat my meals so I opted for the bench outside most of the time.
One cranky old sink that was constantly breaking. Its a good job I wanted to imporve my handiness skill.
The way this sink is going - I will end up mastering my handiness skill just repairing this sink!! Mind you, being human I have lost my speed, I can no longer walk and run quickly, and I certainly don't learn things quickly - life has slowed down to a snails pace, most of the time I don't mind, only occassionally it irritates me.
Sleeping in an uncomfortable bed - dreaming - yes dreaming. I have never had a dream before, vampires don't dream. Dreams are another strange experience of my new human life, which keep waking me sometimes, I am not used to a restless sleep.
The thing I loved most about being human - being out in the daytime, in the sunlight without my skin stinging and I found myself spending more time outside than inside.
Playing guitar in the park
and I now had a new hobby - fishing.
The first fish I ever caught and I nearly died laughing!!! Look at the size of it!!
I doubt that fish would even feed a mouse!!
The next one was not much bigger!!
That is more like it - mind you I really don't fancy eating a goldfish somehow!!
Washing up my cereal bowl I decided I wanted to visit the local Art gallery.
Not really in the mood for a shower because that shower only spat out cold water - I decided to take a quick spongebath at the sink as I was getting a little wiffy.
Then took myself off to the Art gallery.
While I was at the art gallery I bumped into Zelda Mae who was also working at the theatre and I noticed was wearing maternity clothes.
While we were chatting about work I was curious about her partner, so I asked her if she was single expecting her to say she was married to whoever, and was pretty shocked to find out she was infact single and had just had a baby.
"So you had a baby out of wedlock - will you be getting married soon to the babies dad?"
These sort of questions do seem to roll off your tongue when you have the inappropriate trait!!
"Oh no - Marty is already married and his wife is none too happy I can tell you!!"
"I bet she isn't!!!"

soooooo thankfully I had Wesley in my studio for me to carry on with my wishacy after losing my wishacy file. I took the opportunity of dumping the vampire and playing human again - but as I have played way too many generations vampire - the time element is pretty scary for me as with a vampire i never really had to worry about time deadlines for having children and achieving lifetime wishes. So I am making the most of the snazzy new feature that came with generations - i have adjusted the age groups to add up to 200 days - giving babies 2 days, toddlers and children 7 days - teenagers 20 days and giving young adult, mature adult and elderly over 50 days each. I had to giggle too - Marty keaton is yet again the love rat - he has 2 children with his wife Justine and a baby with Zelda Mae. I have also gone full circle because I am using the very same lot I used in my very first wishacy all those generations ago!!
