Suero Houshold: Week One
I suppose I'm going to have to tell you about my family. I mean, how else would you be able to understand why I'm so keen on college? I live with my mother, Rose, the twins, Brennan and Hope, and my littlest sister, Joy. I'm Brian, the oldest, and it's my job to make sure that this whole family runs smoothly.
That's me, holding Joy, and there's Rose and Brennan in the backround. Brennan's quite the artist now- he was first chair in the percussion section at school when he was just a little older then he is there. He got a scholarship right away for art when he started looking into that sort of thing, but that's not untill later.
Those first few weeks were a little hectic the way Comic Book Guy is a little geeky. Our house is real small, only three bedrooms, and one bathroom, so there was almost always someone there whenever you needed to go. And not only that, but the kids were never happy with what we had. I mean- every day, my siblings were wining and refusing to do the homework assigned to them because the were too bored or too tired or had to take a shower. Give it a rest, already! But we did get them all done eventually, and Brennan started getting really good grades, like spectacularly good. He'd a brilliant little bugger, and he got a scholarship for that, too. But that's off ahead again.
So, Joy grew up into a terror of a little girl. For a while, she was even attacking Hope every chance she got, though she eventually mellowed out and is actually quite charming now. Speaking of charming- I've met a couple teens my age. One, in particular, caught my eye. She's a girl, Rosemarie, and I've got a huge crush on her right now. I'm not sure if she's the one for me, and I believe in soulmates, so I'm just going to wait a little before making my move. It's going to be one hell of a move, though- I have it all planned out. I'm going to ask her to go to this cute little boutique I know, and help me pick out a look for university. Then, I'll buy her lunch, and when she's all happy and fed, I'm going to bite the bullet and just ask her if she likes me.
She's awesome, though, even if she may not be "the one." She's funny and smart, she likes sports, and she brings out the best in me. But enough about her. That's almost everything, except when the twins grew up. Right before then, Mom started actin' all weird, moaning about how she needed a man in her life, how she wanted to get married and have a dad for us kids. She got better, though, and she's fine now. So the twins had a birthday, right?
Well, Brennan went first. He looks quite a bit like me, doesn't he? Well, younger, and without these pimples. Ignore them, ok? I swear they only look like that when I get my picture taken. Well, Rosemarie was over at the time, and I did not like the look he was givin' her after his growing up. Like- she was nothing but a girl, you know? Nah, I know she's a girl, and that's not what I ment! I have nothing but utmost respect for the female gender, but he was lookin' at her like that's all she was, a girl, not a budding actress or a wonderfull cook or a softball player, just that she was female. I had a long talk with him later about how he wasn't to go putting the moves on her, 'cause she was going to be mine, eventually. (Yeah, I know, jumping the gun a little, but I wanted to make sure he got the picture) He told my that his dream was to make conquests of twenty members of the fairer sex. Twenty!
Then Hope went. She turned out alright, dont you think? She's always thought big, and right now she's dreaming of becoming the top cat at some huge corporation. Joy looked on enviously, and I know she can't wait her turn to have a little party of her own. I cooked hamburgers for this one... Mom has been so busy with her work as a Cadet and helping us with homework that she hasn't cooked anything for as long as I can remember. Joy keeps telling me what she's going to be when she grows up, but she can't make up her mind. One day she wants to be a mommy with fourteen children, the next, she's going to be a movie star. She's not going to be ready for a little longer, I told her, but she wants to rush the process along so she can go to college with us. I think Brennan's ready for Sim State, but Hope? Not so much. There's still time for both of them, but I'm leaving in a couple days. I've just got to get out of here!
