Hey, this is Matthew Johnson. No, not Matt - Matthew. Sheesh, I don't know why that's so hard for people to get. You wanna hear about what we lot from Prosperity got up to at university, do you?

Let's start with me and Zoe. That's my girlfriend - well, my fiancée. We fell in love here at Sim State. Our friend Amy Jones introduced us, we hung out together all that day, and, well, the rest is history. Zoe is a popularity sim just like me; in fact, I think she takes it one step further. She even made friends with a cow mascot, and invited her to our toga parties!


That's Lila, Lila MacArthur. She's not so bad really, once you get to know her; so when Zoe wanted to pledge her into Prosperitas, I agreed. She's a knowledge sim, even though she sure doesn't act like one. That girl has no inhibitions whatsoever - she makes crank phone calls, she skinnydips in the hot tub, she cheats at chess, she streaks, she goes through the garbage "looking for something useful"... Oh yeah, and she's in love with my brother Eric.


It's funny to see my straight-laced, good guy, wannabe-Captain-Hero brother so crazy about a cow. I wonder if she's bothered to tell him that she wants to be a criminal? They're engaged now, I hear... Man, I don't get it - but best of luck to them. They do say that opposites attract, so maybe it'll all work out for the best.


I don't know if you've heard, but I used to date a girl named Mackenzie Darnell back when we were teens. Well, she has changed a lot since then. Used to be she'd talk about nothing but getting married and having lots of kids - well, that's the last thing on her mind now. She's dyed her hair, changed her whole look, says she's going to woohoo as many sims as she feels like, and never get married. Except she calls it getting tied down. You know, I'd call it going through a rebellious phase, except that her mom is a romance sim too, so I'm not sure what she'd be rebelling against. Now that I think about it, maybe being a family sim was her rebellion?


Her sister Christa, now, she's fallen in love with her professor. Don't know what she sees in the guy, with that receding hairline and all. But I guess tastes differ. Thing is, I saw him with Mackenzie one day, and I have the feeling that wasn't so innocent. If I'm right, let's just say no good could come of it.


Then there's the Carr brothers. Daniel's okay, pretty nice guy, found himself a girl. Her name's Shanna Livingston, and I think she's a barista or something. Heard they got engaged, too. Daniel says he wants to move back home when he graduates, help his parents take care of that little alien half sister of his. Scary, you know, that his dad and mine both were abducted like that - although I bet Dad didn't mind much, being a knowledge sim and all.


Milton, though, Daniel's brother - now that guy drives me nuts. Thinks he's the Creator's gift to simkind. Says he's got enough love in him for 20 sims, maybe even 30, so why shouldn't he share it? Can't stand that kind of arrogance, and if I catch him so much as loking at my Zoe, well, he'll regret it, that's all I'm saying.

Anyway, that's all from me. See you back in Prosperity, maybe.

You get used to it eventually... Zoe ignores the fight and keeps on studying.
