Eh, who knows- Maybe someday Madeline's genes will save Enoch's children from a similar fate.

He was reading and standing by that noisy vending machine. But who knows. He might have been eavesdropping. Even so, Cully has always suspected that Laurie has a little bit of a crush on him. The only shocking thing would be finding out that Enoch knows. <BR/><BR/>I kinda think that Madeline is <I>trying</I> with Enoch. And I also think that ultimately, if she doesn't want to marry him, he'll call it off. Then on the third hand, it isn't outside of the realm of possibility that she might do something to him someday that would be so cruel that he wouldn't want to marry her.Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16697841178807127327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140199280786281854.post-1729104075857897162009-03-05T11:05:00.000-05:002009-03-05T11:05:00.000-05:00Van:Enoch has a special face.

A couple of these photos actually made me laugh out loud. <BR/><BR/>Madeline is out of his league (as I suspect most girls are) but I'm beginning to wonder if they might not be compatible on some levels. Maybe not romantically compatible but friends? She has a little bit of a mean streak to her. And it seems to be keeping Enoch in line. <BR/><BR/>And now Laurie knows that Enoch knows. :( I don't think that this is going to do permanent damage to their friendship but I am fairly certain that they won't be talking to one another for a few days. It's going to be pretty awkward. <BR/><BR/>Ha! Thanks. The only detail that I thought might not be school hallwayish is the vending machine. It seems like if they had a vending machine, it would be in the cafeteria. But I really wanted a good excuse to break out that piece of cc.Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16697841178807127327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140199280786281854.post-49293826044592092452009-03-05T09:08:00.000-05:002009-03-05T09:08:00.000-05:00This particular chapter makes me sooooooooo very g...This particular chapter makes me sooooooooo very glad that my high school days are way behind me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140199280786281854.post-51409649536613071772009-03-05T02:03:00.000-05:002009-03-05T02:03:00.000-05:00Ohhh...poor Laurie!

He kind of lucked out with the betrothal, really--she's waaaaaay out of his league. The poor boy had the misfortune of Angela's nose, I see. That nose looks nice on female sims, but on male sims, not so much; that nose has me worried for future generations of Naroni princes. Oh well--Enoch's a Goth, and I suppose that's what counts the most in Pleasantview society.<BR/><BR/>So this should be interesting, now that Laurie knows Enoch knows. The good thing is, Enoch's okay with it, so... hopefully Laurie sees that and their friendship won't be compromised?<BR/><BR/>Also, I love the realism of the school hallways.
