Maria speaking:


There we were, four girls from Prosperity arriving at Sim State to study and, well, party a bit. I don't think any of us knew that we'd all find our true loves there... although maybe we did have some hopes in that direction.

Now, as a teenager, I had a bit of a crush on Alon Livingston, who delivered our newspapers. When I fgound out he'd be going to college when we did, well, I'm sure you can understand that the idea of us spending some time together crossed my mind? But things didn't turn out that way. We both found other people.

Alon fell head over heels for Faith Preston. She's kind of a cousin of mine, only not really. Her brother is married to my aunt - I'm not sure what that makes us? Anyway, she's a popularity sim like me, and even shyer than me. It took her and Alon quite a while to admit how they felt about each other, but when they did... Hoo boy! They just couldn't keep their hands off each other!


It also turns out that Alon's cousin Shanna is married to Faith's cousin Daniel. How's that for a weird coincidence? Shanna and Alon barely knew each other before, but they're quite good friends now. I think that's nice, don't you?


As for me, well, I wasn't really looking for love. I was too busy making friends, throwing parties, and studying to make good grades. But then, at one of our toga parties, he simply walked up to me and took my hands, and I just knew he was the one for me... Charlie. Charlie Zhang. I love his name. I love his hair, his eyes, everything about him. Isn't love amazing? He's a knowledge sim, says his goal is to be a doctor, maybe even Chief of Staff! He's just so smart - and he's all mine!


My Umcle Matthew and Aunt Zoe had pledged a friend of theirs into Prosperitas before they graduated. His name is Shane Bachman, he's a romantic, and it didn't take him very long to start romancing my cousin Teresa. I was a bit worried about that, you know, since you hear so much about romance sims - but then one day he went down on one knee and proposed to her! So I guess that'll work out, don't you think?


Teresa is also fast friends with Aisling O'Neill. None of us really knew her before we came to Sim State, but she's okay, really. I guess she and Teresa have a lot in common, both being fortune sims and all. They seem to share a lot of other interests, too. Like painting masterpieces - man, those two are good at that!


Well, Aisling found herself a guy, too. His name is Edward Reamon, and he's a knowledge sim just like Alon and Charlie. Another shy one, so it was really cute watching them slowly fall in love...


He even let her cut his hair! Good thing, too, 'cause I really don't see how anybody could like the way he used to wear it - it looked like somebody put a pot or something on his head, and cut off everything below the rim! This style is much better, although I still wouldn't call him handsome... but I guess tastes differ.


Well, for some reason Edward and Alon didn't do quite as well as the rest of us in uni; ironic, since they're both knowledge sims... But Magna Cum Laude is more than good enough, I say!

Maria, over and out.

Oooh, kinky!

The Cow And The Captain Hero

Hi, I'm Eric. I'd like to tell you a bit about me, my home, my wife, and my son. Yeah, Lila and I have a kid - we didn't exactly plan on it, not so soon, but these things happen. So we scrapped the plans for a wedding party and had ourselves a quiet little ceremony, just the two of us.



Too bad about the party - I love parties! - but Lila had a tough pregnancy and really wasn't up to it. She spent most of her time in bed, just getting up long enough to grab something to eat and go to the bathroom. I was working hard, both to earn money and because I've always wanted to become Captain Hero, so I guess she was kinda bored to, all alone at home.

Then our little boy was born. We named him Arthur, 'cause Lila's maiden name was MacArthur, see? He looks just like her.


So I'm a father now. It's a bit weird; I mean, I'm the youngest of five, so I've never had to take care of someone else before. I'm crazy about him, though. I don't even mind the dirty diapers - he's so adorable and cuddly. I wish I could stay home to spend more time with him, but we really need the money, you know? We spent a fair bit of what we had on building this house, so we didn't have much left to buy furniture with, not to mention keeping some funds in reserve for unforeseen events.

But we're happy, and that's all that really matters, right? Lila is always very open about expressing her feelings - I think we've made our guests embarrassed more than once.


Things looked up a little on the financial front after I saved the town from a rampaging giant robot and got a big bonus. We bought some stuff, like a big TV and a computer, but put most of it aside for the future. You never know, right? Anyway, I've been thinking about getting a new job. Don't get me wrong, I love my job, but how likely is it that another giant robot will break free and net me another huge bonus, huh? Even if something like that did happen, I'm not the only Captain Hero around, so there's no guarantee they'd ask me to handle it.


Lila is a scientist, but doesn't seem too happy with that job. My brother Matthew was hinting around that she wanted to be a criminal, but really - does he think I'd fall for that? Lila? Just because she used to be a cow mascot doesn't mean she's evil! Nah, he was just trying to make sure I didn't decide to go into politics, seeing how he's hoping to take our big brother Colin's place as Mayor. Guess he doesn't want any competition from yet another Johnson brother, huh? I haven't decided yet what I want to do next, but I'm keeping an eye on the job openings.


Arthur's growing up fast - he's a toddler already! Takes after his daddy! I really think he's a lot like me, you know. It's not just me wanting to believe that, 'cause Lila thinks so too, and Colin said the same thing after he came to visit one day and spent a lot of time playing with Arthur. And he should know, right, since he was around when I was that age? Anyway, I have great hopes for my little boy!

Hey Jack, you're a happily married man - what are you doing checking out Eric's butt?

Eric - reached top of first career and fulfilled LTW, Captain Hero
Lila - reached top of first career, Mad Scientist
