The Johnsen's: Big Changes

Told from Beth's point of view for 4 days: Well, It's my turn to fill you all in on what's happening here so, here it is... Dad's been spending a lot of time with Marisa. He always gets dressed up and orders Chinese Take-Out and stuff. It kind of sicked me out watching it.Really! Is it necessary to slow dance on the street! What if the neighbours saw them?I had met Marisa and Dad had prepared me, but it still came as a shock when they got married in the yard.I am very happy for Dad, Marisa is great. (note from the queenofsimtopia: through the whole wedding ceremony Beth, who was watching, was crying and whining because she was so tired. It was kind of amusing, it made her seem that she was so opposed to them getting married.) Marisa brought 14 000 dollars, and Dad imediately began to remodel the house. It is kind of bare, but it is way better than it was before.
There's my room! (note from the queenofsimtopia: I spent half of the family's money on Beth's room! Stupid, but it was fun making it so cute, a mixture of the Storybook theme in Open for Business, and my downloads.)

I loved my dollhouse. Dad insisted that I take a break from painting sometimes to have a little bit of fun.
Dad and Marisa share a carpool. We all leave at the same time so it can get pretty hectic.
Marisa bought a flower arranging station. She spends hours there! I love painting and I guess Marisa loves flower arranging (Marisa has a silver flower arranging badge and a silver sales badge).I loved to talk to Marisa. I miss having a girl to talk to. Marisa isn't my mother, but she is the next best thing.Marisa started getting sick, I was scared but Dad seemed happy...She also started having nightmeres. Dad told me not to worry, but my room is right next to theirs so I could hear her cry out in the night.I turned out Marisa was pregnant! I have kind of fallen into the habit of calling her Mom. I don't know, I feel kind of guilty, but we have become really close...Isn't Mom huge!?! She got out of bed to come to my birthday. I told her not to, but she did anyway. I'm a teen!
Beth Johnsen: Family sim, Lifetime want is to marry off 6 children, turned on by Formal wear (I think) and fitness, turned off by stink (I think).I took my hair out of the braids. I don't know what I think about it, I am still expirementing. I can't believe I missed Mom's labour because I was at school! Dad was at work so he missed it to.
Meet Arie Johnsen! Isn't she adorable! I can't believe I am a big sister! Well, that's all for now, thank goodness! I am surprised none of us have passed out with stress!

FUNNY PIC

Waylon, the repairman ended up being the only one home to help introduce Arie to the world!

Sorry, I will have Marisa's stats, and Beth's proper ones (I was not positive on them) in the next update.

Important Events: Marisa moves in and marries James, Beth becomes a teenager, Arie is born.

The Disney Family: New Beginnings

John (adult male): family sim, lifetime want is to reach golden aniversary, turned on by make-up and black hair, turned off by fatness, capricorn, 7,4,3,6,5.

Nala (adult female): knowledge sim, lifetime want is to become chief of staff, turned on by fitness and brown hair, turned off by stink, leo, 4,8,4,4,5.

Jasmine (female teen): popularity sim, lifetime want is to become a general, turned on by cologne and fitness, turned off by makeup (I couldn't resist!), libra, 3,6,3,6,7.

Donald (male child): scorpio, 5,5,7,3,5.

Lilo (female child): scorpio (URGH, why are twins always the SAME!!!!!) 6,5,6,4,4.

History: Nala married John at the age of 17, believing that this was to be her true love, their chemistry was good and they had a great time together... for a while! 17 years, and three children later, Nala finds herself in a relationship that she wants to escape! Angry with John for losing his job, Nala convinces him to take the family, away, to start over. Donald and Lilo are indifferent about the moving, but Jasmine is furious. Will the family stop their feuding and join together as one???

Told from John's point of view for 3 days: Helloooo everybody! John Disney here! Life in Prosperity Hills is great!

The house isn't much, but the close proximity is going to help us grow together as a family! I am so happy! I found a new calling. Obviously my previous job, as Senior Officer in the Military was not for me, or I wouldn't have got fired! Right? Anyway, I love toymaking! The thought of making hundreds of little kids happy really makes me feel great!
I don't know why Nala still insisted on getting a job, though. I am sure the toy shop will make enough money to build us our dream home (eventually)! Donald and Lilo love the toy bricks I made for them! Aren't they so cute?That Donald's gonna be a real smart one, like his father! It took me no time to teach him the basics of studying, Lilo on the other hand is hopeless! Ah, girls will be girls I guess.If Jasmines any example! All that girl does is talk on the phone to her old friends. I tried to get her to invite some other kids over, but she wouldn't hear of it! The kids are quite obediant and do their homework every night without fail. I suppose if they didn't their mother would blow! Nala is such a great wife! Look at her running that cashier! She's not the best one for the job, but it's the effort that counts! Well, that's all for now! Maybe next time you see me the Toyshop will be booming! (note from thequeenofsimtopia: I love how oblivious John is! It is so much fun writing from his point of view!)

FUNNY PIC

Look at that customers face! I know Nala's bad, but really!

The Curtis Family: New Beginnings


Tia (adult): pleasure sim, lifetime want is to go on 50 1st dates, turned on by facial hair, black hair, turned off by glasses, aquarias, 4,5,4,6,6.

Hunter: (black tux): pisces, 5,4,6,3,7.

Marshal (white tux): cancer, 6,4,5,4,6.

History: After the divorce Tia decided to basically run away from the embarassment, she found herself in Prosperity Hills. Being a pleasure sim, used to enjoying the luxuries of life, how will Tia raise her boys, find love again, get a job and prepare herself for living in a shack?

Told from Tia's point of view for 3 days: Hello, I am Tia Curtis. It is my job to describe to you our life here until my boys are old enough to take over. Our house is not much, and as I am so busy raising the boys I do not have a job, there is little chance we will be upgrading the house soon.I immediately began teaching the boys life basics. It is certainly not fun, but somebody has to do it. How could David leave me??? Isn't that manly, get married realize your wife is pregnant with twins, and drop her! Urgh! I am sorry, I sometimes need to vent my frustrations and this journal is the best place. Better I take it out here than on the boys.I do love them! Even if they are constant reminders of their father. Life was fine until...The stove caught on fire! I broke down. I am very ashamed that the boys had to see their mother in such a state, but with all the stress, of moving raising twins and having a fire I recieved a visit from the psychologist (note from the queenofsimtopia: Urgh! -1 point all ready!).The boys took to entertaining themselves as I tried to grasp and deal with my situation.In order to repair my mental state, I did what I do best, go on dates.

(note from the queenofsimtopia: I kind of cheated, not really but I just paid the Matchmaker 5 simleons 5 times. It made Tia happy, and got her closer to her lifetime want. I feel guilty now, but what else was I supposed to do?)Time sped by, I got over my mental break-down, the boys learned all their essential life skills (which was no easy feat), and it came time for them to grow up.
Hunter (or is it Marshal, I can never tell)

Marshal (I think). There, you are caught up with the recent events in our lives. More later.

(note from the queenofsimtopia: Whew... that was fun, not! Anyway, Tia was obviously ecstatic that the boys were growing up and so was I! Hope to update agian later!)

Beverage Family: New Beginnings

Cherry: (adult red head), romance sim, lifetime want is to woohoo with 20 different sims, turned on by fitness and brunettes, turned off by stink, capricorn, 7,4,2,6,6.

Cola (teen in red dress): popularity sim, lifetime want is to become captain hero, turned on by fitness and formal wear, turned off by fatness, tauras, 6,5,3,6,5.

Sprite (teen in pink skirt): family sim, lifetime want is to become captain hero (URGH the same as her twins!), turned on by fitness and formal wear, turned off by vampirism, aries, 5,6,5,4,5.

Sodapop (only boy): gemini, 4,6,7,3,5.

History: Cherry, being a romance sim, has woohooed with more sims than she can count. Cola and Sprites dad is not very close with them and Sodapop's dad is unknown. Cherry decided that maybe her family needed to start over, so she moved them to Prosperity Hills. Unfortunately, Cherry is just more intersted in woohooeing. Cola and Sprite are fretting about being able to go to college, they are sick of Cherry's numerous lovers. Soda isn't very ambitous and is just trying to enjoy childhood.

Told from Cherry's view for 3 days: Hi I'm Cherry. Recently I moved my family to Prosperity Hills. Here is a little bit of what's happened.

The house is a mere shack and half our possesions are on the lawn, but we will live. I fell pretty guilty about moving the kids out here, but I needed it. To many broken hearted lovers back where we came from. It was time to start over.
And start over we did! The first thing Cola did when we arrived was paint! I was very surprised. My Cola, painting???

And you know what I found myself doing as soon as we got here? Finding a job!! I know I am kind of lazy and all so it was really funny for me to get a job first thing. I guess, I knew that there were bound to be some guys at the place I worked... Sprite just played with her brother. At least someone was normal!But then... Soda began to study! In all my life I have never seen Soda studying. Cola studied too. Maybe she coaxed him into it.When Sprite began to work out I was seriously worried. She just said that "fit" was the new way to be so she was going to try it out. Since when does Sprite care about trends?????I expected her to take advantage of the new chess table. Sprite loves chess. I personally wouldn't be caught dead playing such an old man game, but if it makes Sprite happy, whatever.To top the day off, Cola began to work out! Lazy Cola, working out. She hates all physical exercise (kinda like me...). She said she needed it for her job. Job??? Apparently Cola and Sprite both have jobs. Well, I never...We began to act a little bit more normal after that. We started making friends with the neighbors. I met this great guy named Benjamen Long. I know I came here to start over, but well... I just couldn't help myself. I soon found myself in a relationship with Benjamen.Cola talked to Nala Disney for quite some time. I thought it was a little bit weird, her talking to someone so much older than her, but I let it go. The kids went off for their first day of school, I have to admit I was kind of bored for a bit...
but soon I met James. He too is new to Prosperity Hills, I figured that I had a good chance with him.
When he found out I was a romance sim he immediately backed out of the relationship, which kind of peeved me. Who does he think he is to turn me down???
I met another hot guy though. Amin is pretty cool.Even with my new relationships I was often bored during the school hours. I even tried my hand at cooking. I'm not too bad! My mac and cheese is delicous.I was a little bit worried when Sprite brough home a guy named Ricky. Cola had been talking about him lots, obviously a crush. Thankfully Cola bounced back and got a boyfriend, Orlando. He appeared to worship Cola. Well, it's not as if I'm going to tell my daughters they can't have boyfriends!They're not bad looking... Don't worry! I would never take advantage of a teen. But maybe they have dads...Enough of that! Here are the kids doing their homework.My girls found their work quite challenging, so they worked together. How cute! Me and Ben (Benjamen) have hit it off quite well. I know I came her to change but... Look at Sprite! She is always on the phone. I would have expected it from Cola, but she's so busy studying now that I guess Sprite took over killing the phone bill.



Yep, all three of us have jobs. I mentioned that before but, whatever. Anyway, that's all for now. Hopefully I'll have some juicy gossip to dish out to you later. Ta ta. (note from thequeenofsimtopia: Cherry is a slacker, Sprite is into politics or was it buisness? Cola is in Athletics. I realize these first few entries have been quite long, the next ones will be shorter.)

FUNNY PIC

Cherry says good-bye to her daughters boyfriends... in her nightgown! What will the girls have to say? (Whose mom, does that anyway???)
