When Grace went with Grim so soon after losing Carmelo, the whole house fell into a serious funk. Thank goodness I picked up all those moodlet managers over the generations - a few zaps and everyone was able to focus on what they needed to - especially Jamie. I fear for our dynasty with that one. He's just days away from his elder birthday and he would rather pursue dreams of becoming a rock star than buckle down and finish up his ambrosia requirements.
Other generations have seemed almost easy compared to his struggles - picking a wife a full life stage older than himself, the race to produce an heir before Grace became an elder, the whole homegrown grapes fiasco. All these things have been setbacks and yet he continually rises to the occasion. Let's hope that he can make 3 more best friends quickly or all will be for naught.

I've been so busy with my second career - rock star in training - and raising Jenni that my elder birthday snuck up on me as I was returning home from work one night. Aside from some wrinkles and funny looking Egyptian clothes, it wasn't all that bad. A beret and striped t-shirt I could understand, but Egyptian clothes?! Really?!
I raced home for a quick trip to the mirror and dresser. Pretty hot, right? I still got it!
Then it was off to the studio to pose for my portrait and ice sculpture. Grandma Jess is so talented!
A quick rundown of my requirements and immortality is mine...

- portraits...check
- best friends...
OH CRAP! I still need 3 more best friends! You'd think with all of Jenni's parties that I've been chaperoning lately that I would have friends to spare, but no such luck. The only friends I have are Lizette and Germaine from the band and Jenni. This calls for drastic measures! I am taking a week of unpaid leave from work to focus on making friends!
Meanwhile, at Central Park:
'Why Seneca Beck, why don't you ever come to my parties?'
'Uh, I do...you're just so busy dancing on tables you never notice me.'
'Ooops, my bad! I'm noticing you now...' *bats eyelashes* 'You wanna make out...err...go steady?'Author's Note: Apparently Jenni doesn't have the same problems making *cough* friends *cough* that her father does.
Back at Starr Manor...'Excellent, all I need is 1 more friend and I'm immortal! I think I'll kick back and read the paper before I find someone else to stalk befriend.'
eating contest...obituaries...sports...blah blah blah...
'Wait! Obituaries?! Oh good grief, Lizette Burns died?! She was one of my best friends! Awww geez, I better get out there and start socializing again...'
Finally, at age 76, with several scares along the way...
