Greed

"Well, you never know when something will drop out of the sky and land on your head" Mom told me that a long time ago when she was busy "trying to make a man" out of me by beating me. Well, anyways...I go into the store to go buy something and just then, by chance just as the door closes, meteors slam into the area where I was standing not just a few seconds before. Too bad, didn't get me; I'm still breathing, gotta try harder next time.

I should have remembered that I had targeted the store, but well, you know, other things were on my mind. Forgetting ticked me off so much I had to get on my podium and rant about it.

May not have done much, but it made me feel better.

After I ranted, I went home. But ended up having to witness some more disgusting feel-good stuff from Phil and Catherine. Now how many meteors did I divert anyways?

Catherine still hasn't learned to not scare people. She went and scared Heather, who nearly jumped out of her skin. I may have to drop a rock on Catherine to teach her a lesson. But I need the rent money (evidently her job is as an athlete (a fan at this point) so she is doing something at least).

Have you ever heard of a term called "bolt out of the blue". Well, Phil got nailed by one...again. Evidently he's a good conductor. Maybe instead of the science field in which he is currently, he could be in the music field. Ha ha ha...maybe he could concentrate on the music of...oh...Scheidt*...which was incidentally what he said when he got hit by lightning.

It would be an electrifying performance. *snicker*.

In the meantime, Sunset Valley got hit by yet another meteor.

so...I had to go and collect those meteors.

Not to mention, Cornelia Goth got hit by a bolt from the blue. Let's just say that it was quite a jolting experience.

I do have to say that the meteors certainly made us less prone to financial problems than we had when we first started living in Sunset Valley. Having money is great. The people who say that money doesn't solve your problems haven't been destitute to the point where you have to make a choice between eating or paying the bills. Yes, Evil_Haruo may be evil and greedy, but he knows his money-management. And when it comes down to survival... well...avarice knows no bounds.

Our new house may not be the biggest house in Sunset Valley, but it's ours and its satisfying enough...for now, at least until the Altos, Goths and Landgraabs are set in my sights.
