Journal EntryI feel like an outcast in my own apartment. My sister and cousins are all about having fun. Scott and Marcheline chose a life of pleasure seeking while Victoria chose a life of romance. I'm a far cry from any of them. I find comfort in books while they clearly could careless about them.
Victoria by far is the biggest handful. I'm not sure what she's thinking when she pulls her little pocket mirror out to check how she looks but I could tell her it's not going to make her any prettier. Yeah, my genes aren't the best but did you see her mouth!
If it was anyone besides her sad, pathetic, lonely professor I wouldn't understand why anyone would be interested in her. Professor's are always suckers for attention though and hers was no exception.
They didn't even have the decency to get a room. I don't know how they managed to woohoo in her car and not get in trouble with the police.
Thanks to my mom we can actually have a working pool in our backyard now. The nuclear winter our neighborhood had been under for so long is gone. Could you imagine trying to swim outside in the dead of winter? Brr!
My mom was worried about Marcheline because she never calls home so she stopped by for a visit. The three of us had a nice family dinner together and then I left them to chat. Marcheline told me later they had a nice conversation and that she'd call home once in awhile.
In addition to a pool there's a pond in our backyard. We all enjoy fishing but some of us are better at it then others.
The chat Marcheline had with mom must have been a good one. I've never seen her study so much.
Leave it to Victoria to find the freaks. She's been hanging out with this weird guy from class lately. He's got blue hair and talks like a gansta.
Scott definitely has better taste then his sister. He's been dating the college cheerleader for awhile. She's fairly cute.
Victoria has met her match. I don't think this guy has anything she doesn't...including a large mouth.
Apparently, she thinks he's kind of cute.
Oh, that is so not something I wanted to know. I am never getting into that car again. It was bad enough that she woohoo-ed her professor in it. Nasty!
She's really out done herself this time. The mascot is chewing off her neck! At least nobody knows just how bad his face really is.
My sister seems to be quite smitten with a guy in one of her classes. They've gone out on several dates and I don't think I've seen her happier. Maybe this is the real thing. I hope so. She totally deserves it.
I don't know what she was thinking but she actually took her boyfriend to the car to do the nasty with him. Doesn't she realize what else has been in there!
Victoria needed a boost in her grades she she slept with her professor again. Instead of doing it in a car though she did it in a dressing room. Has she no shame?
I guess not...she seemed really pleased with herself afterwards.
College totally flew by. While I spent most of my time actually getting an education everyone else spent it goofing off. Who's gonna get the better job now?
Scott moved into his own place while Victoria moved back home.
A gypsy had dropped off a genie lamp for us while we were in college but nobody really wanted to touch it so Scott brought it home with him. He told me he tested it out one day but nothing exciting really seemed to happen. Hmm...
Back at home my parents had been enjoying each others company while my sister and I were away at college. Of course, they didn't have the house to themselves though.
My youngest sister, Julie, was still quite little when we left but she's certainly growing up.
Over a piece of cake she told us all that she wanted to graduate three children from college. We all just laughed and told her she was a little young to be thinking that far ahead. Kids, they say the darnest things.
I'm not sure if I should be glad or mad. My mom decided to take it upon herself to find me a wife. She knows I can be a bit uncomfortable around girls but I don't think it's really her place to find me someone. The first person she "interviewed" was Autumn. I thought she was cute but my mom said she wouldn't do.
Then she brought Monica over. Again, I thought she was cute but my mom said she wasn't the right one.
When my mom invited Pink over I saw this look in her eye when Pink said she was a Freelance Photographer that made me realize just what she was up to. She didn't care if I liked the girl or not, she just wanted to find a woman who worked in the slacker career. My mom asked Pink to move in almost immediately but I decided I wanted nothing to do with her.
She had other ideas though. I didn't want to be nice to her so I cheated when she sat down to play chess with me. That'll show her!
I can remember back to when I was a young boy and my father had once laughed about how much time my grandparents spent outside trying to catch bugs. How ironic that mom and him spend a lot of their time doing the same thing now.
It only took a couple days before a journalism job showed up on-line. I knew my aunt had failed at it but was sure I could do better.
That meant I needed to work on my charisma a bit. For a few mornings in a row Julie and I shared the study room for different purposes but always sought advice from each other. I'd ask her how I sounded and she'd ask me to help her solve a math problem.
Marcheline got pretty lucky too and snagged a job as a Fashion Photographer.
I don't believe music and dance is Marcheline's true calling but she certainly spends a lot of time listening to music and dancing. I know my mom and Julie love it but just can't find enough time to really focus on it.
I suppose I can't stay mad at Pink forever. It's not her fault my mother only chose her to secure a job in the slacker career. Pink really is a nice person. The more I get to know her the more I start to like her. My mom may have make a good choice afterall.
I overheard Marcheline telling Julie how much she missed the guy at college she had been dating. Julie encouraged her to call him. He was always good to her so I hope she does get back in contact with him.
My mom brought home a piano from work after she became a Rock Goddess. Everyone wants to play it but Marcheline is pretty much always monopolizing it so nobody else gets a chance.
I know she's been working on her creativity skills to get promotions at work though and apparently it's working. She's only one position away from becoming a Visionary.
Since the seasons have started changing again and we actually have spring, summer and fall the skies are a much friendlier place to look at. I could spend hours starring off into space.
It looks like Marcheline did call her college boyfriend. I'm glad to see them back together again. I can tell they make each other happy.
Oddly enough, I think my youngest sister, Julie, is on the prowl for a husband. I couldn't even imagine thinking things like that when I was her age. I'm still not sure I'm ready for that kind of commitment yet.
I am more and more convinced that Pink and I might have a good future together. I wouldn't dare tell my mom that though. She'd be way too excited about it and would start saying things like, 'I told you you'd like her'.
One night everything that Marcheline, Julie and I had known our entire lives changed. Our Aunt Jane decided it was time for her to move out and live a life of her own, which we all understood but she wasn't the only one leaving.
The same night she made that decision our parents made the same decision for themselves. We were sad to see them go but they promised to keep in touch.*The lot was lagging way too much to keep any extra sims on it
My career is going rather well. I had a tough decision to make today but my boss was pleased with my choice and decided to promote me. I had learned from Aunt Jane that it wouldn't benefit me to help the boss' neice out if she wasn't pulling her weight. I'm only one position away from reaching the top now.
Not long after my parents left my feelings for Pink got stronger. Maybe it was the fact my mom wasn't there watching us all the time or maybe it was just the natural steps a relationship takes, whatever it was though I knew I loved Pink. She had been bringing a smile to my face for months and I somehow knew she'd always be able to do that.
With only a few promotions needed to reach the top of her career when she moved in Pink easily made it to Professional Party Guest before Marcheline or I topped our careers.
And with that she promptly quit her job. Much like my mother she had no interest in working. She actually wants to have a large family and I'm okay with that as long as I can keep my job.
I did it! I am now a Media Magnate. To celebrate I brought a dozen roses home for Pink. We had such a great date before I headed off to work that I wanted to say thanks for that extra boost of energy I got from it.
Marcheline got home a little bit later then I did that day but she reached the top of her career too. She's now a Visionary!
Pink and I opted to have a nice, quiet wedding ceremony in our backyard. We decided not to invite anyone but asked Marcheline to come and be our witness.
Pink and I just wanted to get to the good stuff. We had waited long enough for this moment. Pink and I hadn't done anything but kiss until we got married. She wanted to wait and I was okay with that.End Entry
That's all folks! Thanks again for reading and as I already mentioned I have a new apo in the works so stay turned.
