2006-09-30T10:33:00.000-07:00

URGH

2006-09-18T16:14:00.000-07:00

Damn it! I have an update all ready to go, except blogger won't let me post any pics. I have about 7 already on the post and now it won't let me put on anymore. I have tried changing the pics' names, saving and coming back but nothing will work.

Bascially there won't be an update til this starts working again! URGH!

*Voting is now over*

I am trying to pick between two of my prettiest sims for my Avatar (cuz I don't yet have one).
First there is Beth Johnsen (I am currently playing the Beverages house in Prosperity Hills).

Pic 1 or
Pic 2

Next is Cherry Beverages...Pic 1 or
Pic 2 or
Pic 3.

Yeah so vote for which pic you think is the prettiest: Beth pic 1 or 2 or Cherry pic 1 or 2 or 3.

By the way I won't be using the snapshot I will be using the thumbnail. Just so that's clarified!

The Johnsens: The Family Matures (Slightly)

2006-09-01T17:43:00.000-07:00

Hey y'all! Here's the long promised update. I have already started playing the Beverages, but they are a little tricky now that Soda and Beth are there. Ah, well, I will have their update ready eventually.

Told from Arie's point of view for 7 days: Hey there! Yep, I am Arie. I like totally convinced Dad and Mom to let me do the telling here. It wasn't hard as they are totally wrapped up in their careers right now.

We were like a totally disorganized family for a while. It was sooo embaressing bring friends over. We seem like total cavemen the way we were living in such a mess.

It was totally awesome when I grew up. I got help fix up the house a little.

Arie Johnsen: Popularity, Become Hall of Famer.

Yeah, I decided to be an athelte cuz then I can make way many friends. I can also blame my horrible nose on being hit with a basketball which is a total bonus.I kind of gave myself a make-over (and cut my hair, Mom almost lost it) so I would fit in with the other kids on the senior basketball team. Our nanny was like so freaky. What a loser. I can't believe Mom and Dad trusted her with Mason. They are so uptight about everything. Yeah, Mason grew up and all. He is a total brat in my opinion. At least when he was a toddler he could hardly argue. Now, he thinks he knows everything.
Look at him trying to impress Dad like that. He's just jealous cuz everybody loves me way more then they will ever love him.
Well, he is kind of cute sometimes. When he is just playing like a normal kid he seems almost human... key word being almost of course.Dad has been working really hard at his career. He is now a judge (you can't tell cuz of that weird hat mom makes him wear, he told me that ones he gets to work he takes it off and puts on his wig). Dad seems to be getting older. He doesn't look it, but he is always complaining that he is starting to go grey. Not that it would matter, him being a judge and all. If he grew it out he could totally look like a judge without a wig thing.Mom is also trying to get to the top of her career. I warned her not to use that freaky lie-detector thing. I refuse to use it cuz it looks soooo dangerous! (Marisa! We can totally see up your dress!!) Mom and Dad argue a bit. Dad is worried Mom's job will ruin his career (it would be ridiculous if the mayor is married to a criminal mastermind later.). Whatevs, they will get over it. (By the way, Marisa and James are both 2 promotions away form their lifetime wants!! Yea!!) Mom is also trying to be more "momsy". It's not fair. Now that I am like old enough to have fun, mom is trying to be at home more often. When I was a kid she hardly cared if I starved. This like sucks. I am not even aloud to have a boyfriend. When I saw that guy outside I was like totally shocked. I was like totally thinking that if that guy looked at me I would drop dead. Ehmagod! Dad is so cruel. How dare he invite guys over without warning me!!! I am in my PJs. Ehmagod! Is Mason really being such a nerd over there. Does he not realize he is also in his PJs!! My life is so totally over! The weirdest thing happened. This totally homeless looking old fart just came into the house. At first I thought she was gonna beg or something totally pathetic like that. But no, she sat down ate some jello. She was probably thinking of the good old days, when someone actually cared about her. Nobody wants to marry an old granny. Guys here want a nice young woman to have babies with (erm *cough* like me *cough, cough*). Then she just walked out, without an explanation. What a loser. Anyway, that's all for now. Hopefully next time my story won't be so pathetic as it will hopefully not involve my pathetic family that is endlessly embaressing me. Later!!

Funny Pic

The picture speaks for itself.

Next up is the Beverages!

Back Again

2006-08-30T00:46:00.000-07:00

Yep, I'm back.

Nope, I don't yet have an update.

Yep, school starts tomorrow here.

Nope I am not excited.

Yep the Johnsen's are on their way.

Nope, not today.

Yep, I hope to have the update ready soon.

Nope, I am a lazy ____ and in unpacking and getting ready for school (SHOPPING) I have not had time to play Sims.

Later, Queenofsimtopia

Bye for Now

2006-08-21T09:38:00.000-07:00

I am going to Ontario for a week, I am leaving early tomorrow (boo to plane flights!!). Anyway, I have an update for the Johnsens almost ready, but you will just have to wait til I get back.

The worst part about this trip. I get back they day before school starts! Yeah, crappiness, my simming time will be seriously more depleted then it is already.

See you later,

Queenofsimtopia

Sim State University

Here's uni. By the way, blogger wouldn't let me put a pic of young adult hunter up so that's why there isn't one. Told from Hunter's point of view:

Hey there, yup I'm Hunter. Here's Marshal as a young adult. Me and Marshal pledged into Cujh Dibe Jacosp and quickly moved there. I think it would have killed us to be in lame dorms.
Donald bought a pizza for us to celebrate. After I ate a couple pieces I felt kind of... well... out of shape.
That's better! Lilo liked my idea too! Anyway, of course after we got settled, I called Beth and invited her over. I was so exited, we would finally be together! She is my dream girl. She asked if she could bring Soda over to. I said sure. I didn't know she was gonna bring an actual guy!
I was shocked and confused. According to Lilo, Sodapop (what a stupid name!) is Beth's fiance! I went up to my room. College sucks.

Everybody else's love life is good.
I still don't know how Donald scored a hottie like Cola. He is such a nerd, and she, well, she looks like a model. Lilo is a little strange. She went out for a while and came back with an x-box. I have no idea where she got it...
The next night she came back with a ratty old sofa. That kind of creeped me out. Is she a robber??? Na, couldn't be! She owns a clothing store that makes quite a bit of money. Yup, even my own twin has a love life! Him and Lilo seem pretty tight. (note from thequeenofsimtopia: what is up Marshal??? Don't look so angy, Lilo just fell in love with you!!)

Marshal says their relationship isn't serious. Then why do they gush over eachother all the time????

It looks serious to me!Marshal was pretty surprised...but I was ticked! "Don't mess with me punk! I am pissed off right now, so just screw off. What the *^%$!!!"Turned out we were getting abducted into the secret society! (note from the queenofsimtopia: Randy is STILL furious at Sprite!)

Well, everyone is gone now...

(note from... I did a test: Scott grew up in gold, but got some awful clothes
Lilo grew up in plat and got great clothes,
Donald was also in plat and got awful clothes (they kind of fit with his personality though)
Beth grew up in green with great clothes Soda grew up in red with horrible clothes, so does the aspiration actually mean anything when it comes to transition clothes???)

It's just me and Marshal now, hope the next two years turn out better than these ones. Later.

Outakes

Scott grows up with his head in the phone!

Soda makes some cash.
Randy and Scott STILL don't get along.
Scott is so in love with Sprite, instead of spying on people he spies on... GARBAGE CANS
Lilo flips out when she breaks the grandfather clock (poor wealth sim!)

And my favorite pic this round:
Why are the twins soooo mad at lilo???

Johnsens are up next and an update will be coming soon.

PS. I used the college clock thing this round (just in the greek house and only to move em ahead to their final exam) I doubt I will ever use it again un less I am desperate.

WOOHOO!!

2006-08-16T11:48:00.000-07:00

No the title is not meant in a simming way, just in an I AM HAPPY way.

Scott has graduated, Beth and Soda have 1.5 semesters left, the greek house has 3 semesters. I am almost finished!!! Well, kind of. This uni post will be wayyyyy shorter than the other one. I hope to have my update up in 4 or so days.

Side Note: More Excuses

2006-08-12T15:32:00.000-07:00

Yeah I know, all you hear from me is, *wah, wah* I have no time *wah wah*. I know you are thinking that if that girl wants to blog she should maked sure she actually BLOGS.

OK, so ready for another excuse? My mother. Yes, I blame everything on her. She won't let me on the computer for more than half an hour a day. "I don't want to see you on that computer, you don't know how to moniter your time!" (a quote from my lovely mom).

So, I get half an hour a day, and whenever my mom is out. Yep. She doesn't want to see me on it so I make a point of being on it when she can't see me.

Plus, I am playing my last huge uni round. From now on I will spread them out (1 year every once in a while vs 2 years twice a week).

I am working on it, but it is way hard to do on about half an hour to 3 hours (when I am lucky, love it when my ma eats out!)

So, bye for now.

Zelda

PS, I miss my Fellowship neighborhood. Maybe I will play on them later... Don't worry after I play another week at least in the Hills!

The Beverages 02: Typical Sisters

2006-08-07T15:41:00.000-07:00

A pretty simple, boring round. Yep, that's it. A semi-relaxing way to end week 2.

Told from Sprite's point of view for 4 days: Welcome to our home! First things first, I am trying not to act like such a "hippie", Cola's word, so I have given up meditating. Anyway I wanted to make sure that was clarified.
As soon as we moved in, Cola and I got make-overs. Here is Cola.
And here I am. Cola is being quite typical in the background there. She talked me into letting her buy a cellphone. Being the softy I am I let her. Big mistake, she never gets off of it. I guess some things will never change.
Another example is my misguided stalker. Yep, Randy is still pretty angry that I "cheated" on him. I really think he needs to talk to a psychologist. He needs help.

There is Cola off to work. She is a SWAT leader.I am not as far up the career path as she is. I am a detective. I don't know why I picked the police career. I would love to be a Captain hero, but I hate the gore.We both love to paint. Notice Cola's cellphone ringing. *sigh*I invited Scott over one night. I was pretty exited to see him. He could only stay for a while though so we just basically kissed for an hour. Uh-oh. Yep, some misguided person kicked over our trash. We got cockroaches! Cola flipped.
We had to call the Exterminator.Thanx bug guy!What the... Kennedy Cox! This was after the bug incident. The weirdest thing is, neither I nor Cola know Kennedy.And another typical incident. Randy also knocked over the trash. Jerk.One time, when I was sending an email, Cola burst out in tears. I knew better than to comfort her. She would get all protective. Maybe it's that time of the month? I don't know, Cola has never really been emotional.Yep, next round Cola will be moving out to the Disney's household. I will miss her, but I am so exited about seeing Scott again!!

Pretty Pic

Another pretty girl. This one is a teen. She will be perfect for some guy later. Expect to see her at uni...

Accomplishments: err, nothing!

Next is a Weekly Synopsis (or however you spell it)

Week 2 Over

2006-08-07T13:54:00.000-07:00

I am done Week 2! I finished on Friday, wanted to post about it on Saturday but couldn't.

My darned parents threw a party. There were lots of cute guys (their friends sons), but I wasn't allowed on the computer. Nope, I had to be "social". O how much fun!

Then yesterday, we went camping. Yep, camping. Why is it my parents goal in life to torture me?? Let's just say "I hate the outdoors!!"

So, I am working on posting for the Beverage girls (Cola and Sprite) then I will do a Weekly Synopsis (excuse any poor spelling), and a SCORE PAGE. So, off to work then!

The Disneys: Getting Along

2006-08-03T21:34:00.000-07:00

Yep another update! I figured it takes me 2 days to play 3 or 4 sim days, and 1 day to post what happened. I was lucky and I got to finish playing the disneys and type here today. So here it is!

Told from Nala's point of view for 4 days: Hi! Things are pretty much the same as when we last left off...

I was basically too pregnant to function... and John was constantly caring for Jane and giving her extra cuddles when he thought I wasn't looking. There are some differences though.
I convinced John to close down his toy business and get a real job. He started as a security guard. I am working up the medical career.
Yep, it doesn't seem to hurt any less the 4th time around...
meet Oliver Disney! He has an incredible resemblence to Carter Carr.That night Jane grew up. I was glad, I don't know how me and John could have juggled two jobs and raise two kids. Jane is a very reliable girl (I did a good job of raising her with very little of John's poor influence).Jane is very good at tidying around the house.Yep thats my girl! I must admit, I really do love her. (note: Nala has a heart!). She does need to learn to change out of her PJs sooner.I have relented, John is as much a part of raising Oliver as I am. I am really too exhausted to worry myself about it. And me and John made a deal. No more kids. Soon Donald (my favorite child other than Jane) will be coming back with his fiance Cola Beverage. No more kids from us. John will just have to dote on his grandkids.Here's Olivers birthday.He is cute I will admit (sorry for no close ups).I must admit, John has started to work hard. He worked himself to such low energy that he fainted. He was desperately trying to potty train Oliver.Jane really does love to learn (she has 7 charisma from toddler hood, 8 creativity and 4 logic so far). (note: This is an adorable pic in my opinion) I'll leave you guys with what we are currently doing. Jane is off to her first day of school. She is very exited.John is trying to get fit for his job (key word: trying).
And I'm bathing Oliver. I must admit, I am getting good at this parenting thing. I am glad this is the last toddler though. Drat, I just realized that when Donald moves back I will probably end up taking care of his rugrats. Ah-well. I am sure I can convince John to most of the time.

Accomplishments: Jane grows up, Oliver is born and grows into a toddler.

Next up is the Beverage sisters. Then, more college!!! Oh well, I still have some time left...

Curtis: Lots of Growth

2006-08-01T19:11:00.000-07:00

Surprise! I already have another update! Anyway, on with the story...

Told from Jasmine's point of view for 4 days: Hello everybody. Why am I living in the Curtis houselhold you ask. Well, after I graduated I got a phone call from my friend Tia. She invited me to come live with them for free, I was to be a nanny/maid. I accepted, to tell the truth I wasn't too keen on going home. I never really enjoyed acting as a referee between my parents in their silly arguements.

I was kind of ticked when as soon as I moved in, the boys I was supposed to be caring for grew up into teens.

Hunter Curtis: wealth, become criminal mastermind (I don't remember his turn-ons and offs) Marshal: Curtis: popularity, become captain hero (note from the queenofsimtopia: Wow this really cracked me up, Marshall will be fighting evil while Hunter will be evil! Twin brothers, set against eachother. It also bugged me a little. This means there will be 4 Captain Heros in Prosperity Hills (Marshal, Cola, Sprite, and Sodapop). Ah, well.)

Tia had invited Joe Carr over to celebrate the boys birthdays, she also seemed to have other plans...

Yep, Tia proposed engagement and asked him to move in.As if that wasn't enough exitement in one day, they got married on the spot.I expected Tia to have a big party but she obviously has changed since becoming perma-plat. Even though that day was happy, disaster still managed to strike...Yep, just great timing Mr. Robber-dude. Hunter and Marshal were first to wake up to see the burglar and police guy in a major fight (I tried to make everyone sleep through the alarm but it didn't work).
Eventually, we were all up (Tia was in her underwear, which under any other circumstance would have been totally awkward, who wants to see their boss in skimpy undies? Actually, don't answer that *thinks of Miss Cherry Beverage*)Thank goodness the police guy one. But the robber managed to get away with the TV. I couldn't sleep after such a day so I went outside and worked out a bit.Suddenly, I just broke down. It wasn't fair. This job totally wasn't working out. I couldn't be a nanny, the boys were teens and old enough to care for themselves, I couldn't be a maid here either, the house was always spotless (this family likes ot clean up after themselves).I decided to suck it up and talk to Tia. She told me not to worry. Her and Joe had talked and they wanted a baby. She wasn't pregnant yet, but they hoped to bring one into the world later. They also are planning on opening a business. A hair salon. I was pretty exited when I heard this. When I was a kid I wanted to be a hairdresser more than anything else. So I sucked it up. Everyone in the house was pretty emotional so I didn't want to be an extra burden.Joe was always angry, I guess cuz the robbery ruined his wedding day or whatever. Hunter was also ticked, he seemed to hate that burglar guy.Tia didn't seem to care at all. She seemed to be to worried about something else...Oh, Tia also let me get a job! I imediately enrolled in the army. I am a flight officer. I wear a pretty awesome uniform.I also have a wicked carpool. The boys love it!Meanwhile, Tia broke the news to Joe. She thought she was pregnant. And, it turned out she was! I also started being a bigger part of the boys lives. I talked to them about school...and more serious stuff like marriage.We became pretty close friends. They really appreciated the extra help with their homework. Then, on one of her regular midnight bathroom trips, Tia went into labour. I was the only one up and it totally freaked me out. Meet Mia Carr. She has her mommy's brown eyes and tan skin tone and her daddy's brown hair. Mia was actually the second born though...
Meet Carter Carr (I didn't realize how bad his first name would sound with his last name till it was too late, oh well.) He has his daddy's skin tone and brown hair and his mommy's brown eyes. (note from the queenofsimtopia: Carter looks like he should be Jasmine's kid. He has her brown hair, eyes and skin. It seriously freaked me our for a second. I can't wait to see what he looks like later)
Me and Joe spent loads of time caring for the babies (Joe is currently unemployed cuz he wants to be a Criminal Mastermind but there have been no criminal job openings yet. Tia is Host in the culinary career.) Taking care of the babies made me wonder if I would ever have my own kids... In the evenings Hunter helped out with the babies too. Marshal didn't really care about them much. He considers them only his "half-siblings". The boys got into Private School too. They look adorable in their uniforms. Oh, and they are now off to uni. They are way too young for it, but they are super smart (hence the fact that they are in private school), so they got accepted early. Anyway, that's all for now.

Bye.

Funny Pics

Jasmine and Tia seem pretty surprised to see the boys grow up.

A typical teen boy conversation!

Accomplishments: Mia and Carter Carr were born, Joe Carr moved in, Joe and Tia got married, Marshal and Hunter got into Private School.

By the way, Mia and Carter were completely natural twins (no cheesecake). Tia must have a twin making gene!

Sim State University

2006-07-28T20:50:00.000-07:00

Yep, I finished playing 8 young adults through 2 years of uni. And I survived!! So, we have all the uni students gathered at the Campus Coffee lounge to tell you about the events of their 2 looooooooooooooong years!

Jasmine: Yep, all accounted for. There ended up being quite a few of us at Sim State, we all became tight. We also started to know a lot about eachother.

Cola: Yeah like how Sprite and Scott can't stay off eachother for 5 seconds!

Scott: Being a greek welcome committe isn't much fun. We needed something to do!Jasmine: I refuse to play the peace maker again! Everybody be civil please! Anyway, after everybody grew up (Beth, Lilo and Donald), they pledged and moved into the Greek House.Beth: Here is a pic of us pledging Soda in.Donald: As you can see the Greek House got rather crowded with all 8 of us so Scott and Sprite moved out into Pienut Dorms and Beth, Soda and Cola moved into Landgraab House Dorms.

Beth: For the record, Soda and Cola invited me, I didn't just move in with them.Lilo: College was hard, here is a pic of the "brilliant" Donald setting the kitchen on fire.

Donald: Just because I have not mastered the art of culinary does not mean you can outright mock me.Scott: Yeah, well we had 2 fires!Scott: My Sprite can cook better than the cafeteria lady.

Sprite: Thanks Scott sweetheart!

Cola *opens mouth*...

Jasmine: Don't even think about it Cola!Scott: And when we weren't experiencing fires we were experiencing floods, stupid cow mascot!Sprite: Here, we will tell our story first.

Lilo: Good idea!

Scott: I spent a lot of time hanging out with girls around the dorm. Scott: I was kind of afraid that it was bugging Sprite, even though I made sure to tell all the ladies that I was 100% taken.Scott: So I started hanging out with the guys.Scott: I also told them about the cool Greek House I was apart of. If I had known what the Randy guy was gonna do later I would have been totally beating the crap out of him, but unfortunately I didn't.

Beth: Oh, you didn't tell us what happened. Come on, spill the beans!

Sprite: OK, well me and Scott were kissing (completely normal by the way), when that Randy guy came up and slapped me!Scott: I lost it! He had no right to be pushing around my girl!Scott: So I let him have it...Scott: ... and I lost!Scott: So I pounded him again and won (my dignity back)!Scott: Then I paid him off so he would leave Sprite alone.

Sprite: You did that for me? How sweet!Sprite: He was really creepy after that. He just sat in a chair a lot. (note from the Queenofsimtopia: Randy is such a loser. He came up to Sprite once and charmed her (completely on his own by the way). They got a crush thing (which bugged me, Sprite is and always will be completely loyal to Scott). Now he thinks because she kissed her fiance she was cheating on him! When really it was he that was flirting with an engaged woman).Sprite: He scared me a little. Everytime I walked by he would stare at me.

Lilo: That's pretty sweet how Scott stuck up for you though!Sprite: Yeah it was pretty hard to say good-bye (this pic is showing us saying good-bye by the way). I knew I would miss him.

Scott: And I am a little worried about that Randy guy. He better not come near you again!

Jasmine: Sorry to stop you guys, but you are way ahead of us. Lets move on to something else...Soda: Hey Sprite! That is a pretty interesting look you have on your face there!Sprite: Yeah well, you didn't exactly manage to not look goofy either when *whoops I can't say that yet!*Scott: I was pretty surprised too!Donald: Lilo appears to also be experiencing the emotion we humans call confusion.Lilo: Hey! At least I didn't look like I was gonna wet myself, or hurl!Cola: It was totally freaky!Jasmine: I think Beth wins the funniest expression though!

Beth: I must admit, I look very weird!

Jasmine: What was happening you ask? Well...Jasmine: We were getting abducted into the Secret Society (we are allowed to talk about it cuz we are all members).*Queenofsimtopia note* Scott is a real ladies man. I am surprised he is not a romance sim!Cola: We will talk about what happened to us now. Go ahead Beth.Beth: Everything was normal, I was thankful they had invited me to move in. I started to notice that I was thinking about Sodapop an awful lot.Beth: I think I first noticed him one day when he was shirtless in the cafeteria. I have a weakness for fit guys.Beth: I thought about him lots. I even got tingles when I sat by him watching TV.Soda: One day I complimented her on her hair. I thought she was cute, but I sure wasn't expecting what she did next.Soda: She kissed me! And I liked it a lot.

Beth: *blushes*Soda: We started to kiss...Soda: ... a lot!Soda: I was starting to realize that this was a woman that I really loved and wanted to spend my life with.Beth: Me too. All I could think about was marrying you.Soda: After some intense making out...Soda: ... I asked the question.Soda: I was so happy when you accepted!

Beth: How could I have not?

Soda: But that wasn't the hard part, telling Cola was!Cola: I will admit, I knew something was up.Soda: I tried to talk about casual things like driving.Beth: I took the hint.

Cola: But I still knew something was wrong.Soda: So I told you, poor Beth was so nervous!Cola: I admit, I was shocked. Cola: I didn't know what to think about it. Cola: You guys seemed pretty in love to me. Cola: You even danced in your matching PJs! Cola: So I talked to Beth about it. I realized that she was awesome and I would love to have her as a sister-in-law. We became tight friends.
Lilo: Well, you didn't waste much time after that finding a boyfriend!

Donald and Cola: *both blush shyly*Cola: I knew imediately that I loved Donald, he was so smart and cute!

Lilo: *snorts*

Jasmine: *gives Lilo a warning look*Donald: When of the hardest actions I have preformed emotionally was proposing to my dear Cola.Cola: It was the sweetest thing ever, I imediately accepted.

Lilo: Now Jazzy dear, tell us about your "little" romance!Jasmine: It was nothing really...Lilo: Mhm you call nothing kissing on the deck while I try to watch a football game! It seemed like you two were glued together!

Jasmine: Well Lilo, since you are so interested in romance share with us about yours!Lilo: I didn't really like that guy, he was sweet, but not perfect. (Queenofsimtopia note: He is not Randy!!! He is just a clone, his name is Abjeet, or however you spell it)Donald: You two had many pointless disagreements in these two years. Lilo was constantly getting frustrated with Jasmine, especially when she accidentally broke the TV.

Lilo: In my defense I had to miss the golf championship that was on that night. Stupid repairmen don't make housecalls in the evenings. Jasmine: One of the highlights this year was watching the cheerleader kick the cow mascots butt!Jasmine: It turned out that that cow mascot is a real stud! (Queenofsimtopia *note to self* Kevin Hogan (aka the cow mascot) is a real hottie under that suit)Cola: Finally it was time for us to grow up and leave college, forever! I really need to go clothes shopping!Sprite: As do I!Jasmine: Me too!Lilo: It was hard saying good-bye to everyone. We will miss you lots!

Here are some pics of the Greek house Cujh Dibe Jacosp. The money came from the Secret Society glitch. I even installed the patch, but it didn't fix the problem.An outside view.The entryway has a lot of junk in it. You can see the 2 computers, some instruments,workout equpment and badge machine thingys. This room has a crappy layout, I just used it to store neccessary junk.Here is the dining area.That branches off into the kitchen. By the way there are 3 bathrooms in this house though I don't have pics of them.Here is the library, Donald's favorite room.The parlour has plenty of art easels and a piano.Here is an aerial view of the bedroom. And an aerial veiw of my favorite room, the party room. There is a fruit punch barrel, a kareoke machine,
a bubble blower, an electro dance sphere, a DJ booth,
an elevator,

and a bar. That's it!

Accomplishments: Cola, Sprite and Jasmine graduate with 4.0 GPA, all Secret Society members (no big sims on campus, I was far too lazy). Cola is engaged to Donald, Sprite is engaged to Scott, Beth is engaged to Soda. Oh and unmentioned before Lilo bought a clothing store (I don't remember its name).

PETS

2006-07-27T18:56:00.000-07:00

*edit* A special thanks to Tanu for helping me figure out how to move my uni post to its proper place!*edit*

OMG!!! Pets for Sims 2! I can't wait, yet I have to, til October!

The injustice.

I look forward soooo much to all the new additions: breeding (1-4 babies!) being able to have 6 pets in a house, training your animals, them being ghosts after they die, being able to create them in create a pet, getting them jobs, having them grow up! The possibilities are endless!

Oh I can't wait.

Back to my uni post...

Confusion

2006-07-26T18:44:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the weird happenings at my blog. I am making mucho changes (I changed my template, didn't you notice!). So, it is kind of a mess right now, I have been fooling around with the template a lot. Ignore my mistakes, I am not perfect, I hope they will be fixed soon. As for uni, I have one semester left for 3 sims. Then I am done. YIPPEE. The update should be posted soon (unless I am dying to play the Curtis', which is likely...).

Ciao

I'm Back!!

2006-07-23T16:16:00.000-07:00

I'm back from Kelowna (a beautiful condo on a beach with an outdoor and an indoor pool, I know you are all jealous!!) and Camp counselling (dealing with stupid kids, waking up at 6 for staff meeting and other junk, I know you are sooo not jealous). So, where are the long awaited updates you ask. I am planning on having my uni updates up be Thursday. I have decided from now on to split up my uni time because it is killing me!!

I will work hard to get this update up fast, I really want to play on the Curtis family which is the only thing keeping my going!

The Beverages: Cherry on her own (kind of)

2006-06-30T19:08:00.000-07:00

Yes, here are the Beverages, Cherry is still on the extremely annoying romance path so here it goes: Told from Cherry's point of view for 4 days:
Yep I am still at it!That Malcom guy is a smmoooth operator! And yeah, he is old and ugly, but once I get that woohoo he won't be needed around here anymore! Ahem, he wasn't supposed to see that, Oh well, he has already served his purpose...
Yeah, gross and everything, but he isn't a bad kisser!OK, that is soooo immature! Like I give you a perfectly decent woohoo (he seems experienced!), and you wet yourself on the carpet! That James guy is also a hottie! I know he is married, but he doesn't seem to care (Yes readers, I did say to expect some interesting plots out of the James/Cherry attraction!) Who is in the bed with me?
Yup, James Johnsen!!! That is 3 woohoos in one day (repariman, malcom and james)I don't think Soda liked me having an affair with a hitched guy, he up and left for college. Whatever, I know he isn't mad at me, he will like college too.I understand you are furious Malcom, but stealing that newspaper isn't really bugging me that much!But stealing that one is!!!!Ummm, yeah, when my bathing suit started fitting funny it hit me, I was pregnant again! And, to top it off I don't know the father, there are 3 possibilities! I hope this baby doesn't wreck my love schedule.I tried giving myself a make-over, but it didn't help the fact that I am totally not as hot when I am preggo. Yeah, I know, I am huge!
Knut doesn't seem to mind that I am preggers! Yeah, I got to go through that crappy labour thing...

which left me with Cappachino! He has skin tone 1, light blue eyes and black hair. (I wonder who is father could be, it seems a little obvious...)

Accomplishments: 3 more woohoos, Sodapop is off to college, and little Cappachino was born.

The Johnson's: Moving Along

2006-06-30T11:19:00.000-07:00

I swear on my life that the Johnsen's are the most boring/relaxing family around. Everybody is happy and lovey-dovey and perfect. Anyway this one will be told from James' point of view for 4 days: Hey folks! Life has been pretty good around here lately.Except for the fact that we have been having some trouble with the plumbing and the appliances (during these 4 days the toilet clogged, the shower broke, the trashcompactor broke and the TV broke, the repairman was at that house for a loooonnng time!)I hate to see Marisa go through this pain, but it is worth it in the end!Meet our son! Mason Johnsen, has a nice ring to it!Marisa is very exited that we have a boy. It means she doesn't have to have any more kids. Don't get me wrong, she loves them all, but as a wealth sim she really wants to reach the top of her career.Parenting! What a hard job!*snort* ahem *giggle*. OK I know it is not funny but I swear Marisa wanted to kill Mason after that, incident. *snort*Beth told us she is planning on going to college. I didn't want her to go, she is my memory of Sara. She finished up a painting of me and MasonShe said good-bye to Mason, wishing him the best in life...
then she had a tearful good-bye with Arie. It saddens me, she is such a family sim that she hates good-byes.
She said that after the birthdays she would be leaving. So Arie grew up...(AARRRGGHH, look at what Marisa's nose has done!)Then it was Mason's turn...(AARRGGHH, another kid in desperate need of a nose job, thanx Marisa!!)*sob* There's my baby girl off to college and the real world!! *sniff* Marisa was really happy to be back to work, she does miss the kids though!
And that Mason is a smart one, he knows what makes him smart too! Anyway, Beth is here, visiting from college so Adios!

Funny Pics The whole family is dreaming about James... and Smart Milk! I swear they love it!

Speaking of love... perhaps there will be some interesting twists with this family soon!

Accomplishments this round: Mason was born and is now a toddler, Arie is a child, Beth is off to college.

Stay tuned for the Beverages which is coming up next!

2006-06-27T11:07:00.000-07:00

I am currently forcing 8 sims through 2 years of uni. *sigh*

Why is uni so long???? Seriously, I am also having trouble with my marriage plans. I originally had Beth Johnsen set up with someone, but she goes to uni and, alas, she meets a three bolter!

True love, or sticking to the plan?

If Beth goes with her true love, one of my simmies has lost a mate.

If I stick with the plan I will have to deal with the guilt of breaking up a perfect couple.

Either way some couple gets the short end of the stick.

Well, I am off to destroy some relationships.

Too Busy...

2006-06-13T16:40:00.000-07:00

I have a total of three updates ready, but I will not post them to near the end of June. I have about half an hour of sim time a day, just to unwind. Other than that we have been having people over everyother night = a lot of cleaning/cooking. Plus I have endless homework on top of exams. So... I will catch up with my blogging at the end of school, continue playing about one sim day per day and I will talk to you all later! Ciao
